General Request for Plotting and Organization!

omg, guys. It's your favorite time of the new semester. That's right, it's CHARACTER ABILITY TALLY DAY, YAY!!

Okay, you could at least fake the excitement. God.

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 and so on. This is mandatory for all characters, and we would appreciate it ASAP though there is no specific deadline.

Anything that is a canon1 power or ability of your character and could be used in a plot in some way, please list below in the correct thread. Temporary powers for specific plots do not need to be noted now.

Please be as thorough as possible, as this will help everyone out with plots and knowing who can fill what roles.

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

(And naturally, there will be threads, so please wait for the rather long OCD or I will have to kill something Threads are up!)

1 In this instance, "canon" does refer to FH canon as well. If your character at this time has honed their fighting skills or anything like that, please do make sure to note that. For guidelines on characters picking up abilities, please see this post.

2 For those of you who had characters around last year and just want to C&P what you put in the post then, here are some shiny links. Why, yes, I did just C&P everything over. Again. I'm very lazy efficient that way omg.

Team: Xander's a lieutenant-type: he's very good at following orders (but won't hesitate to question them if they sound like they were conceived while smoking of the good crack), but also has a lot of experience leading a smaller group/team on specific assignments. He's been recruiting and working with new Slayers for the last 3 years.

Research: He's got a lot of experience with research on spells and demons, though it's not his favorite activity and he's not a genius at it. He knows how to use the internet at about the level of your average fangeek, thanks to FH, and is a pretty big lint-trap for pop culture information, especially fantasy/SF/comic-books, and adventure movies.

Languages: After doing the world-traveler thing for 3 years he can probably ask which way to the bathroom in a bunch of languages, not all of them human, but it's pretty much baby-talk level. He also took French at Sunnydale High and Creature Languages at FH; he still remembers at least some Rat and Spider. He can read Latin aloud but tends to be a danger to self and others when doing so.

Medical: A crapload of basic first aid.

Other: Xander's also an expert carpenter/construction worker, and can build or repair objects and structures damaged during a fight, make practice dummies, impromptu weapons, storage-cases, etc. He's proficient with hand and power tools as well as large-scale construction equipment, and can read and interpret blueprints/building plans.
