Members; If you want to keep your canon characters, just let me know. Otherwise, everyone has ONE WEEK to return and claim their previous canons. If not, then they go back up for application.
Also, this banner is temporary and I'll be making a new, serious banner.

Humans
The humans of Ander occupy Anorith and Battonia, a great number of them living in small cities and villages outside the walls of the main city.
Magical Ability
Humans are rarely capable of magical properties. About 2 out of 2000 are born. They usually have more common powers like;
-Slightly increased speed -Invisibility for short periods of time -Increased hearing -Increased smell -Increased sight -Increased intuition - You know if someone's telling the truth. So you're basically a walking lie detector.
In special circumstances they have a more advanced power, but never parallel to an Elves'.

Elves
Elves live in the Elven Realm, but sometimes may live among humans or alone anywhere in Ander. There are almost no existing records of an Elf ever living with a Dwarf. There have been three or four records of such a thing occuring.
Magical Ability
Elves are practically the most magical beings in all of Ander, though there have been other beings that have lived in Ander for a time, but few records are kept of wanderers. Elves are also immortal and can give up their immortality if they so choose.
Basic Powers All Elves Possess
Proctective Blessing
With this superpower, you can bless others with protection from one harmful event of your choosing. The blessing lasts indefinitely and the event can be anything from being shot by an arrow, getting your head lopped off, or getting sick. It's important to note that the blessing acts as a preventative measure. Being blessed AFTER the fact won't help any current situation. Also, only the latest blessing is active. Blessing against being cut is allowed, but that would prevent helpful surgical procedures, so bless wisely!
Stealth
A person with Stealth is security's worst nightmare. With active concentration, they can become totally silent and partially invisible. This partial invisibility means that from a distance, they resemble a darkish blob. Even up close, facial features are obscured. However, the user is not totally invisible--they must still use cover if in an exposed place. The silent aura that surrounds a Stealthy person hides all the sounds of motion and reduces a gunshot to a mere coughing noise.
Enhanced Memory
The ability to possess almost total recall in your memory. (Obviously there are some downsides)
Dream Invading
Entering into someone's dreams. You can see the usefulness of this. It may not always work.
Elves may also have other powers in addition to those.

Dwarves
Dwarves are a proud and stern race and are made to be sturdy to survive the dangers of the time. Dwarves live up to two hundred and fifty years and have the ability to learn new skills quickly. A normal dwarf is usually stubborn and secretive, but they have the capacity to be loyal friends. Dwarves are not hurt by insults, but their hate lasts a very long time. Dwarves are greedy, but still much less corrupt than Men
Dwarves usually use axes as their weapon of choice because it can be used as a tool or a weapon, but in addition to axes they also use hatchets, mattocks, short swords, shields, pick axes, war hammers and short bows and arrows. Sometimes the dwarves throw their axes and hammers at the enemy. At the end of battles dwarves often collect old axes because they didn't have the heart to leave them behind.

Half-Humans
Half-humans are usually a mix of human and Elf, but sometimes they can be half human and another race. No human-dwarf children have been heard of, but some think it is possible to create a half human half dwarf child.
Half-human half-Elf
Half-Human/Elf almost always have at least one magical ability gained from their Elf parent. If their human parent also has magical abilities then they will have greater magic, or none at all. They are normally accepted into society because their Elvish heritage is not easily distinguishable most of the time. Nearly all Half-humans take almost all their looks from their human parent and their intellectual and magical abilities from their Elven parent. Half-humans are generally not accepted in Battonia or the free lands, but they can be.
