WATCH ME SHAMELESSLY USE THE SAME POST AGAIN.

(I wrote it. I'm allowed to cannibalize it. Hush.)

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~~ Done! Have at it.)

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 the last couple years and just want to C&P what you put in the post then, here are some shiny links for you.

Ichigo has knows karate and he's rather effective in handing someone's ass back.

And again!

Whoo!

Aravis is fairly skilled with a scimitar, though she is still learning to control it. While she's used to the weight and feel of her own weapon, she could probably pick up any sword (given that she COULD pick it up) and learn her way around it as well.

Aravis, in spite of her size, has had to learn to spar fairly well. She has no formal training, but tends to rely on her reflexes and ability to dodge, and tends to be pretty ruthless if she feels threatened.

Romeo's a street brawler, nothing fancy but he's been in enough fights to know what to do. He's average at best for Fandom.

Aravis is an exceptionally good horsewoman, and not that I imagine this ever really coming up, but Calormenes are trained in the art of storytelling. So if you ever need someone to get their long-winded pretty words on, she's your girl.

Dirty?

Ben's an extremely powerful empath: enough that he felt his cousin die when he was a baby and reacted. It's also noticeable enough that his parents make sure to block their emotions around him.

He's also rocking the Jedi throwing-things-with-your-mind thing.

As you wish...

Evey is a budding explosives expert. She's very well-versed in things like fertilizer bombs and other fun things you could make using stuff around the house, but she's spent the last year and a half learning how to make things go boom.

Ella is not inherently magic. However, in her world there are certain plants with magical abilities, and she could access those if needed. These include a truth spell plant and a love plant.

Lee can handle just about any hand gun. He specializes in Colonial sidearms and FN Five-Sevens.

He can learn just about any weapon though.

Ella has beginner-level sword training, and she handwavily practices much more than I manage to post it :-).

Lee's fairly skilled in hand to hand combat, military style. He's also got those big ass arms that pack a lot of power.

Evey knows a little about knives. She's nowhere near good enough to, say, throw them and take out an entire police squad, but she's getting to where she could pretty well defend herself using one.

Lee can fly ships! Vipers and Raptors are his favorites but he'd learn to fly just about anything just to get a chance to fly. He's also into law and politics very secretly.

And he has the worst first name ever.

Also, THE POWER OF EMO.

Canonically, Toby does not experience that which is known to others as "consequences."

For example, Toby can be hit over the head with a bat, dumped in the ocean, and emerge completely fine the next morning (other than thinking erroneously that he had amnesia).

Ella's a linguistics sue -- in canon, it's explicitly stated that if she hears language once, she knows it forever. Right now she has Gnomish, Elfish, Ogrese, Ayorthian and some Al Bhed, and human languages are just around the corner.

Robin speaks fluent French.

And, um...she can read?

Hannibal's good with handguns and small arms. He's also good with everyday objects like bats, crowbars and lamps.

Hannibal's a brawler too. He goes for strength over finesse.

The curse means Ella will do what she's told, though not without resistance or, if she can get away with it, overly literal interpretations. This is probably more a liability than an ability.

Wheeeeee!

Robin's also an extremely good liar (*ignores season 3's retconning*) and has been known to use this ability (plus she's not afraid to use some of her better assets, if you know what I'm saying) to sneak in just about anywhere she wants.
