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.

Johnny's primary power is the ability to envelop his entire body in fire without harm to himself, in which form he is able to fly and to generate powerful streams and/or balls of fire. He can also manipulate his flame into any shape. Even when not engulfed in flame himself, he has the ability to control any fire within his immediate range of vision, causing it to increase or decrease in intensity or to move in a pattern directed by his thoughts. He is also able to absorb fire into his body with no detrimental effects.

He is able to fly in excess of the speed of sound. The plasma field immediately surrounding his body is sufficiently hot to vaporize projectiles that approach him, including but not limited to bullets. He does not generally extend this flame beyond a few inches from his skin, so as not to ignite objects (or persons) in proximity to him. Johnny refers to his maximum flame output as his "Nova Flame," which is released omni-directionally and can reach 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. He can also direct beams of "Nova Heat" as an offensive weapon for very brief periods of time before his energy reserves give out. Johnny has a high degree of control over his powers. He can hold a person while in his flame form without the person feeling the slightest bit of heat.

La.

Ender has had several self-defense classes, and he knows strategy and tactics well enough to use them with deadly intent.

Jaina's an excellent pilot (Anakin is probably the only person who should be able to beat her right now though I don't know everyone's canons), and another one of the mechanical Sues.

Also, really good at lockpicking.

Ben is one hell of a liar.

Millie is a powerful enchantress and can do pretty much anything she sets her mind to - heal, teleport, shapeshift, create things out of nothing.

She doesn't advertise her abilities much, though.

John has Fandom training with a variety of guns. He has particular experience using magically modified handguns thanks to Rikku.

In the book Helen is referred to as a "cleric and magic user".

She does have the ability to control insects, snakes, rats, etc. the limits of her ability to control other creatures isn't set out, but it's probably a pretty wide ranging ability.

Her right arm... well, that can be turned into pretty much anything - animate or inanimate. In the book she once turned it into a copy of a weird totem pole with vicious heads biting at each other till they drew blood. And of course, as the living blade - which looks like a bar of light - she can cut through the barriers to worlds and kill any demon of any size or level.

John loses to girls. But he's not half bad at kicking guys asses both in canon and Fandom. He's taken one or two Fandom classes and practices his fighting skills regularly so he's improving and could totally take Karal.

Brooke can catfight? But seriously, can you kick her ass. (*says nothing about OTH promos*)

Putting Helen's arm in here too as god only knows where it should fit.

Her right arm can be turned into pretty much anything - animate or inanimate. In the book she once turned it into a copy of a weird totem pole with vicious heads biting at each other till they drew blood. And of course, as the living blade - which looks like a bar of light - she can cut through the barriers to worlds and kill any demon of any size or level.

I'm also presuming her to have a fair degree of skill with weapons (blades and guns, particularly) as the 'priests' of her world were a mix of religious/scholars/ top soldiers and she was trained very thoroughly by them.

Brooke can make really pretty clothes. No, seriously, if you need any sort of outfit for anything, she'll totally make it.

Helen probably possesses some basic level competency in fighting, but nothing special.

Helen has some ability in research and scholarly things as she was heavily trained in those areas by the priests.

As an enchantress, Millie has the ability to heal.

Just about any kind of gun that would have been available through the mid 80s. Has the most experience with AK-47, 9mm but also can handle machine guns M-16 & M-60s.

Um... Peyton knows just about anything about music - indie, punk, classic, metal, etc, etc.

She also has experience as a DJ and in booking bands/running All Ages club nights.

She's also an incredible artist - if rather dark.

Buffy's got a pretty wide range of experience with weaponry (thanks, Giles!), including crossbows, a bo (I don't know if it's called by another word, I just know it's what Donatello used omg), swords, and of course, a bazooka.

You'll still see her most commonly with a stake.

John is a pilot sue. Canon says he can seemingly fly anything intuitively without training, and fly it really, really well. Especially 'jumpers because they can read his mind.

More importantly, John's hair is semi-sentient. It is also naturally like that.

He's an ex Army solider who works as a mercenary with prior Special Forces/Commando/Green Beret ex-soldiers, so he has some obvious experience and skills.

He does well at standard hand-to-hand, no martial arts. However, he is not an assumed 'buttkicker' and will not necessarily win every fight he's in.

So if you missed it up above, Helen has this arm...

For being tiny, Buffy's a very good fighter and it amazingly capable of bouncing back up after getting thrown into walls or across coffins in ways that should have broken her back. She can be beaten, but unless you've got supernatural abilities, it'll probably be close.

Tony's a wizard. Currently all he can do is call things to his hand. But he's also experimenting, so if you need magic to go wrong, he's a good candidate. More on his magic here.

He's also got a laptop full of spells, so he can learn stuff as needed. If you need something specific, ping me and I'll see if I can make him do it.

Teyla has sticks.

Teyla is very good at fighting with her sticks and handing people's asses to them.

In canon, she can use guns with the best of them, but right now, she's much more comfortable with hand-to-hand combat.

Flying. Seriously. Murdock is noted in canon as 'best chopper pilot of Vietnam'. He can fly all range of modern aircraft; heavy jets, jet fighters, choppers, single engine small aircraft, larger cargo planes.

Basically, if it's got wings and isn't a space craft, he can fly it.

He can speak fluent Vietnamese, Mandaran Chinese and possibly a bit of Russian. His Italian sucks though.

Also, he can fling gernades/explosive-y type things quite well.
