Character Abilities Tally!

[nookiepowered]

Hey, guys!

For everybody's convenience, for both BDEs and personal plots, we try to keep a running list of the various abilities possessed by FH characters; the last time we did this was in January, so three runs of newbies later seemed like a good time to catch up.

If you ever find yourself saying, "Hey, I need a magic user/archer/ninja/dork who has all the dialogue to Galaxy Quest memorized," this list of powers is meant to be there for you to take a look at. It's not mandatory; it just gives everybody a better reference when they're looking for people to help out with plots, and hey, might get your character roped into something fun!

Here's how we deal with updating this baby!

• All of the previous posts have been compiled into a spreadsheet that you can always head over to check; it's linked on the FH community info page.
  
  
• This post only needs to be filled out for new characters, or if you have a correction/update for your older ones. If your stuff is listed over on the spreadsheet and nothing's changed, there's no need to fill out that category again. (And my poor aging eyes will love you because it's one less cell to update on a seven-page spreadsheet.)
  
  
• Anything that is
  
  a) a canon power or ability of your character, or
  b) a skill/ability developed during their time in the game
  
  and could be used in a plot in some way, please list below in the correct thread. This is for all character types - students, teachers, townies and alumni/expats - and covers everything, not just the wacky powers. We also appreciate yer fighting, research, weapons, support skills and ability to speak Tev'Meck.



• The categories focus on "what can you do" instead of worrying about whether that's a magic or mutant or species-specific ability. So wacky powers are broken into spellcasting, psionic powers, and superhuman physical attributes, and non-wacky powers are divided into weapons, fighting, support, and miscellaneous (aka "It doesn't seem to fit in any of those groups, but dammit, you need to know that my character can do it!")
  
  
  

Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to do this!

Parents Weekend Events!

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Greetings from StuCo! With visitors coming to the island this weekend, there are a couple of activities that will be happening that we wanted to give a little heads up about.

Tours!- There will be daily posts to show your guests around some of the island and show them what the place has to offer. And if (for some strange reason) you'd rather keep them to their hotel room and not let them meet anyone you've ever met, well then it's a good thing these are voluntary.

Recital!- Taking place on Saturday, October 1, your characters will get a chance to show off their talents! You can go ahead and sign up, plan, rehearse, prewrite, have things go horribly wrong... You can get an introduction if you sign up by midnight PST on Friday night. And there will be an option in Saturday's post to crash the recital with a performance if that's more your thing. Open to all!

A post will go up in a minute for signups, but in the meantime: comments, questions, pie?

Recital Signups!

And here is your recital signup post! If you'd like to perform in the recital on Saturday, October 1 (or if you wouldn't like to but someone forced you into it against your will... we won't judge) just drop a comment with this info:


People involved:
A short description of your act: (to be paraphrased for your introduction)


That's it! Just remember people's parents will probably be watching. Comments are screened for the surprise factor, and remember that if you'd like to just wing it on Saturday, there will be a chance for you to do so. All- and we mean all, as in if your grandma wants to suddenly take the stage she totally can- are welcome to participate!
