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.

John's got a neural clone in his head. This thing sometimes talks to him, telling him to do things. The majority of time, Umberto leads him the right way so he can preserve John's life and, therefore, his own existence.

John can also fly a Prowler.

Also, he can change diapers now!

Track This
Zuko is a firebender which basically means that he can control fire. He can create it and 'bend' it to his will. On the show it is made clear that Zuko is still learning how to fully control firebending, but he has been rapidly improving and growing stronger.

He can breath fire, create flames, throw fireballs, set off sprinklers and many more fancy tricks. He is also able to protect himself against fire and keep himself from getting burned, but he can not do this forever.

Some firebenders are also able to bend lightning. This is a more difficult skill and one can not control lightning like they do fire, they can only direct it elsewhere. While Zuko has the potential to do this, he hasn't been able to accomplish it yet.

Mary can use a gun when necessary.

To wit, dirty street fighting. No martial arts skills to speak of, but if you want someone who can brawl Katchoo can do it, for all that she's small. Vicious and effective, but utterly without technique.

. . . if you want to see a tiny girl pin down a 300-pound guy by hooking his nostrils and literally trying to peel his face off so he screams like a stuck pig, she's definitely your girl.

Summer doesn't have any special skills or abilities, but she is smart and organized. She'd probably be able to help out with research.

Biff knows Jesus. *nods*

Billy knows how to use swords, throwing stars, and all standard military firearms.

Billy has extensive martial arts training and is a rather bad ass ninja.

Robin can jump really high, or far, or fast, and due to his lack of a skeleton and being stuffed with whatever muppets are stuffed with, is very durable.

Robin can act as a messenger/courier, or help tote supplies.

Pretty much what Angela said. Francine has a little sensitivity to ghosts, a little clairvoyance (probably limited to "Oh crap, someone I care deeply about is about to die") and a little precognition. (At major turning points in her life, she's ended up with detailed visions of what might happen if she takes the other road, which she mostly passes off as her imagination, but some of it ends up coming true.) All very faint, none of which she's experienced yet by this point in canon.

Anakin is one of the best who ever lived with a lightsaber. He doesn't tend to use other weapons.

Eve is well-versed at both witch magic, which is done through saying words, and sorcerer magic, which involves gestures. (No, not THOSE kinds of gestures!)

She's better at witch magic given that she IS a witch, but she's still pretty damn good with the sorcerer stuff.

*gives kissyface*

Tosh has skills with guns and some alien technology in canon.

Anakin Skywalker will kick your ass ~~unless you're Kerrigan, shhh~~.

He's been extensively trained in hand-to-hand combat and has spent most of his life trying to kill people and/or avoid being killed.

He fights dirty, too. Anakin's *totally* a hair-puller.

Tosh is a big geek who loves to research and is quite good at it.

Tosh is a computer genius. She got hacking skills, programming skills, can break codes, etc. She could probably build a computer, too, if she had to.

She can improvise with most forms of technology. She can build things even if the plans are incomplete.

Anakin is the Martiest Stu ever to tromp through the SW-verse. He has enhanced reflexes, telekinesis, telepathy, empathy, and the ability to see the past and future. He also has the power of the mindwhammy and all of the stuff he learned as a Sith.

Not that he'd use it.

Probably.

He trains a guy to use the Force to yank a Star Destroyer out of the sky. You decide how good he is.

Lion-o has access to a semi-sentient sword with a bunch of interesting powers. It will come to his aide when he's trouble, it flies to his hand when he calls on it, and it gives him the power of Sight Beyond Sight to see events happening in real-time. It also can generate a force-field large enough to protect the bearer, and eventually he'll also be able to use it to send up a light signal that can be visible all over the island.I

In general, the sword's range is restricted to the island, so he can't use Sight Beyond Sight to see what's going on somewhere off-island.

Lion-o hasn't fully come into his powers yet, though, so whatever he's able to do with the sword will depend on the plot.

Eve's half Aspicio demon, which means she has sight-related powers. According to the author's website, since I'm way too lame to remember this right now: enhanced visual range (can see distant objects more clearly), can induce temporary blindness, can see through solid objects (produces a small window of 'x-ray vision').

Anakin is a trained diplomat.

Really.

Stop laughing.

For Liir, I've got a few links:

Strictly Canon (http://new-to-liirness.livejournal.com/803.html)
Ozian magic (http://new-to-liirness.livejournal.com/9709.html) which never really has an explained system is discussed here with the whys and the theory and etc.
Tally (http://new-to-liirness.livejournal.com/profile) of major magical stuffities are here and will be updated continually with any new area explored.

Abby Irene is a forensic sorceress as well as a Doctor of Thaumaturgy. As such, her knowledge on the subject is pretty damn good.

Her magic/etc works very much in line with older grimoires and alchemical text. There's no modern magical theory to this one; this one is the 'eye of newt, wing of bat' type, so to speak, with full ritual required for anything she'd need to do. She's a little unorthodox as she carries her ritual supplies in a carpet bag for easy carrying and has a few preprepared goodies on occasion, but that's more practical than anything else.

The only ability that doesn't match this would be her wand, which has a freezing charm which can freeze someone in time and space. Ie, she can stop someone running away to arrest them, but she can ALSO freeze someone to stop a poison from running it's course until she can figure out a solution.

Please tell me that the icon I'm seeing isn't your dirty icon omg.
