OOC: General request for plotting and organization

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

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!)

*sighs deeply*

Aura Reading- the energy field emanating from the surface of a person or object. Bridge can tell good from evil, whether a character has magic or a mutation of some sort of their own, and species (ie, vampires, Sebaceans...etc, have different auras than humans). He can also see people if they're invisible.

Empathy- the ability to recognize and understand the emotion of another. Bridge can do this. This power, at least, is fairly straightforward.

Telempathy- the ability to sense and/or influence the subject's emotions from a distance. While Bridge *definitely* has the ability to sense emotions from a distance, there's no evidence in canon of him being able to influence them.

Telepathy- the ability to communicate information from one mind to another. Bridge definitely has the ability to *read* the thoughts of others. There's no canon evidence of him being able to project thoughts, and so I've played him as being unable to do that (except in the sense that when interacting with characters who have a telepathic ability of their own, they'd be able to read his thoughts, projected or not)

Precognition- the ability to sense events before they happen. This manifests in one of two ways- he can see events *right* before they happen (especially useful in a fight), or he can see them in dreams.

Retrocognition- the ability to sense *past* events, without having been physically present when they occured. This is how he tracks people- he scans an area, and can tell who's been there. Their presences usually manifest as green-tinted and semi-transparent.

Psychometry- the ability to relate details about the past condition of an object or area, usually by being in close contact with it. While similar to the retrocog in that it involves sensing the past, it manifests differently for Bridge- as a full-on vision, rather than just an image of past traces.

Also, Bridge wears gloves pretty much 100% of the time, because he doesn't have very precise control over his powers. With them on, he can't use his them to their full extent- usually he's able just sense that there's a reason he *should* take his gloves off and get a closer look at whatever's going on.
