Character Ability Tally!! (because the memes weren't eating your afternoon enough)

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.

Alex is a wizard in training. She can perform all kinds of spells, (as she learns them, of course) both with a wand and without.

Here (http://wizardsofwaverlyplace.wikia.com/wiki/Spells) is a list of the spells that have been performed in canon.

Roy is an alchemist and a pretty good one at that. Alchemy basically means that he can turn one thing into something else as long as the amount of matter remains the same. This can go from turning a spoon into a fork to rebuilding a building that got destroyed. As long as he can determine the make up of an item, he can transmute it. Well that and he needs to draw a transmutation circle to guide the process (he usually has one already drawn on his gloves).

He rarely uses this type of alchemy in combat however, preferring his own particular brand of alchemy that earned him the title of "Flame alchemist". He wears a pair of spark cloth gloves that allow him to create a flame just by snapping his fingers. After that, he transmutes the density of the air around him to guide the flames. Using this technique he can set things on fire and create large explosions.

Mike is a surveillance expert. He can also build computer systems or hack into them. He's also been known to put surveillance cameras in something as small as a casino chip.

He also can ride horses.

Cameron has plenty of experience with guns and explosives. He can swordfight but every badly so.

Cameron has had military combat training and can definitely stand his own in a fight. Even if sometimes it might be out of sheer stubbornness.

Piper is a witch (a Charmed One specifically) and has the power of Molecular Manipulation. This comes in two forms: Temporal Stasis (slowing of molecules, causing things to freeze) and Molecular Combustion (speeding up molecules, causing things to explode). She can also cast spells and make potions.

Marty's managed to talk Angela into learning to shoot. She doesn't like to, and mostly she wouldn't, but if it's absolutely needed she can.

Isabel can enter a person's dreams just by going to sleep and touching a picture of them.

When making a conscious decision to do so, she can also pick up flashes of memories or emotions when she touches people and give memories or feelings of her own back.

Angela has low-level psychic abilities, chiefly the occasional ability to see ghosts.

Katchoo . . . knows how to not shoot her own limbs off with a handgun. Canonically she owns one, and presumably she knows how to use it, but since that's all a little fuzzy and she's certainly no Becky the Gun Girl I'm just gonna say she knows how to handle the thing. Her actual sharpshooting ability may not be so hot.

Let's just say good chance at the general target area, but light-years away from being able to shoot the buckles off someone's suspenders or something like that.

Cameron is a decent pilot. He's a bit rusty right now, however.

Normal people plan weddings. Mary planned a weekend of 100 weddings as a publicity stunt, so she could always help out with organizing stuff.

John can handle himself with Earth's handguns and has learned to use a Peacekeeper issue pulse pistol.

Barbossa can use a sword and really old-fashioned pistols.

And a cannon, if you have one lying around.

John's got basic brawling skills.

Re: Miscellaneous!

[identity profile] likeguidelines.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Barbossa can perform weddings!

He is also able to stand up and speak mostly coherently despite being, you know, a raging alcoholic.

Piper has some knife skills (particularly athames) in canon, though she is not nearly as skilled as others are.

John's proven himself to be a very good researcher, good with helping organizing big groups and good being a go between re: communication.

Zuko is great with swords and especially with dual blades.

Piper is pretty good with magical research and has studied the Book of Shadows. She's also quite organized and can tend to be a bit of an OCD freak.

Re: Fighting Abilities

[identity profile] thebluespirit.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
While Zuko prefers firebending and swordfighting over hand-to-hand combat, he can definitely hold his own. Firebending is based heavily on Northern Shaolin and would be easy adaptable for him to use in a fight.

Piper has excellent culinary skills, though she isn't formally trained.
