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!)

Alec has piloting certifications for Cessna planes, B-52 bombers, BlackHawk helicopters, and F-16 Falcon fighter jets. And he can drive a motorcycle and a car if needed, though he has no license.

He has at least some basic thieving skills, involving lock picking and stealth.

There's also an ability to pick up most skills very quickly. Canonically, Alec learned how to play the piano at a master level within three days. Hah.

He's also lacking in most morals and ethics, knowledge of pop culture, and anything about what a healthy human relationship should be like, plus a healthy amount of very well buried PTSD from what amounts to torture during his formative years.

And there's the seizures, which come about as X5s are genetically unable to produce a healthy amount of serotonin due to a glitch in the DNA used to create them (in a normal world, serotonin doesn't actually give you seizures as far as I can tell, but it can be passed off as "X5s are weird that way"). They used to be fed a drug in order to keep them stable, but escaped X5s have found that a continued dose of tryptophan will help them get the serotonin they need to keep the seizures manageable or nearly nonexistant. Not exactly an ability, but hey.
