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.

Angel's fairly deft at pickpocketing, and somewhat good at lockpicking. Breaking & Entering is a problem if it's a private home he doesn't have an invite to, of course ;)

He's skilled at drawing which, combined with the photographic memory, means he can try to recreate things like passages in books if he's only glimpsed them once.

Though a doofus in many aspects of life, he's incredibly quick-thinking when it comes to creating instant aliases and alibis while on a case.

His past history as Angelus also means that he's very familiar with torture and evil. He can either recognize patterns of it when he sees it (e.g. "These victims were killed by someone who was doing it to enjoy themselves.") or use those torture skills on someone if they piss him off or he needs to force them to do something, like give him information.
