OOC: General request for plotting and organization

Hey, all!

So, in an effort to keep things a little more organized for plottishness and so on, we're going to ask a quick favor of you all.

Could you please reply to each appropriate comment below, and let us know what kind of powers/abilities/etc your character possesses? This is for all characters - students/alumni, teachers and townies - and covers everything including especially good researching/support skills, magic, skill with weaponry, mutations, etc.

Anything that is a canon power or ability of your character and could be used in a plot in some way, please list below in the correct thread.

Thank you so much for ~~indulging my OCD~~ your participation.

(And naturally, there will be threads, ~~so please to be waiting for them~~ and they're up!)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

If your character is familiar with any sort of weapon.

Please reply with a detailed explanation of which weapon/s your character is comfortable with and their skill level/s.

Tyler can make chemical explosives. He's good enough to blow up prety much anything he wants to, though as he's self-taught, he screws up more often than someone with, say, a military background would.

Dawn is familiar with swords and crossbows and stakes--a year of training with swords and stakes, but better with a crossbow. She also had a summer session's worth of archery.

Aeryn's primary weapon is either a pulse pistol or rifle. (The best comparison is a blaster from Star Wars.) She has two rifles and four pistols, and is very good with them. She also has a grenade left over from snow monster weekend that she will probably never ever get to use at FH. She's tried using guns from Earth and can work them fine, but she doesn't like them much.

She also has a small collection of knives, which work when she can't carry around a gun. She can use them, but would much rather shoot something.

Sam is extremely comfortable with most guns, has made explosives, and knows how and when to set them to discharge them properly.

Jamie is familiar with a handgun and is a above average shot. He's also an above average in the fencing department.

Jarod is extremely familiar with most weapons and can probably use them well, but only uses one on one occasion in canon. He doesn't have any.

Marty is an expert at most firearms, cutlery and pens.

Becky is proficient with handguns, and is usually armed. She also has a good deal of experience with knives.

She spent two years under the watchful eyes of the other Old Town Girls as well as their leader, Gail, and learned to become an extremely good shot. If she misses? It's usually on purpose.

agatha makes and uses gas-lamp style weaponry, so steam powered pistols and robots and the like.

tim has been trained in game in the very basics of sword fighting.

Dean is proficient with pretty much any handgun or shotgun. We've also in canon seen him use crossbows and machetes and knives. And there's a better than average chance he'd be proficient with a lot of other types of weapons.

He also loves and is very handy with fire. He's been known to use flare guns, malatov cocktails, the simple expedient of lighter fluid on the floor, throw the lighter in, and seems to favour combining bug spray or other flammable aerosol cans with a lighter to make a makeshift flamethrower.

Parker is very proficient with hand guns and rifle and is an excellent shot. She took a session of Archery with Miho which at least made her beyond-beginner up to average archer, and is learning swordsmanship with Alanna, but just started.

Angel's favorite weapons are swords and stakes, but he's also comfortable using whatever comes to hand. Quite literally as he's been known to make weapons when none are around (such as using a crutch to break another vamp's bones). He can also use crossbows and guns, but it's not his preference.

Susan used to be an Olympic-class archer, and is still very skilled with a bow. She's slowly working to re-acquire the skills she had, which she let slip while she was studying to be a doctor.

Being a firefighter means Tommy's familiar with axes and such, but mostly in a capacity to break through doors and try to free people.

Xander's passable with both axe and crossbow (he'll get incredibly good with a bow by the end of his canon timeline, good enough to shoot someone through the wrist from across a room with a compound bow, but now...eh, he can use a crossbow). He can use a stake well enough to defend himself from maybe one vampire, one-on-one. He can hack and slash with a sword, but is no expert.

He's also got wacky implanted memories from a canonical spell that made him think he was a soldier, and left the knowledge behind even after the spell itself wore off, which means he knows how to assemble/use most kinds of basic U.S. military guns, though that knowledge or at least the ability to readily call it forth seems to fade in canon. It's never exactly defined as to how much it faded.

Miho is familiar with and competent with all forms of small arms, though her preferred weapons, with which she shows the highest degree of mastery, are swords, throwing swastikas, and a bow.

Willow's familiar with stakes and tranq guns, though she is by no means an expert with them. She's been learning how to use a sword with Peter ~~dirty~~ but if she was in a fight and could only use one weapon, stakes would be her most comfortable.

Abby's ballistics lab work requires her to be trained to aim and fire several different types of guns, and she's had basic NCIS training.

Zero is kinda familiar with guns, but she's not anything like a good shot. Since coming to Fandom, she has adopted as her weapon of choice a neon green croquet mallet. It seems to be working out for her.

Sword - excellent ability
Dagger/athame - excellent ability
Guns - basic grasp
Bow & arrow - intermediate (due to Fandom High workshop)

Hamlet is a fairly capable fencer, and very good with a foil.

He also has a small collection of hand daggers, and is more than capable of stabbing someone with one. From the point he's been taken out of his canon background at, he's already killed someone by accident with a dagger.

Demyx has a sitar...which looks nothing like a sitar (WTF)...which he uses to smack people upside the head on ocassion. The top of it has spikes coming off of it (since it's in the shape of the Nobody symbol and all that), which probably hurt. He's not all that good at physical fighting, but the sitar is sort of a focus for him as well as a weapon. When used in conjunction with his magic, he's a really annoying and hard-to-beat opponant. (Seriously. Try fighting him on Proud Mode. It SUCKS.)

Peter is a full knight and excellent swordsman. He's led and fought in both large and small campaigns. He has armour and a shield and can fight both sword and shield and sword alone.

He also can shoot a recurve bow very well (though not as well as his sister at her best) both from horseback and on foot. He can joust and tilt and canonically has won tournaments.

He's shot a gun all of once.
