Homo Magi

Homo Magus/Magi are humans born with the innate ability to access and wield magic. According to Dr. Edward Smith, homo magi are rare, making up approximately 0.1% of the human race, and a completely different class of mankind.

Before Blackbird
Throughout history, homo magi have served both as guardians, tyrants, warriors, scholars, and later scientists. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 A.D. and rise of Christianity throughout medieval Europe, homo magi battled demons while also facing intensive discrimination and prejudice from mankind. In the 15th to 16th centuries, the Vatican and other witch-hunting organizations slew homo magi into near-extinction. Amongst the small community of surviving magi was The Milson Family, who have managed to avoid persecution and traveled to the New World in the 1720s. During the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, science and technology saved homo magi from extinction across the globe, allowing them to better integrate themselves into society. In the early 20th century, some notable magi, like Johan Birch, established their own organizations like the Blackbird Organization, whose entire prerogative and responsibility is to protect humanity from the supernatural, using covert paranormal investigation and destroying any occult and other preternatural threats; and this continues to the very present. In 1944 at Normandy, Johan met the demon Lemar Wolfblood who joined Blackbird as their prime warrior for the bureau. The 1960s saw the population of homo magi dropped rapidly thanks to counterculture and the changes it brought which continue to permeate society and mankind aromnd the globe to the present day.

Characteristics
Homo magi are simply humans born with a ranged affinity towards magic, except that their most visible trait are their eyes. Typical homo magi have a distinct green hue which glows when using magic or experiencing strong emotions. Some, however, have the even rarer eye color of violet, signifying having an additional affinity towards elements of nature. Also,

Witches and Warlocks/Wizards
Witches, and their male counterparts Warlocks/Wizards, are homo magi who can create and use various spells, hexes, and rituals to invoke curses, illusions, supernatural weaponry, and/or defy reality to make the impossible possible to a limited degree. Things like Energy, Light, and Darkness are common amongst most typical homo magi.

Sorcerers and Sorceresses
Sorcerers and Sorceresses, also called ‘magician(s)’ or ‘mage(s)’, are a higher class of homo magi who conjure and/or manipulate only one specific element of nature. There are four primary elements that make up nature: Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. Sorcery is much rarer in occurrence since homo magi born with distinct purple eyes are less prominent than their typical green-eyed counterparts, but if born with purple eyes they are the respected remembers of the homo magi community like the Milson Family. Unlike other forms of magic, elemental magic can be cast and performed at will using verbal invocation or by specific rituals so as to activate said power.
