Character Abilities Tally

Guess who gets to steal another post from Erin?

(Hint: It's me)

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 canon 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!

**Wait for the OCD omg or I will take you up on a roof and Chuck Bass you.** OCD up and nobody is getting molested. Huzzah!

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.

In trying to think of anything to put for some of my very normal kidlets, Charlotte knows a ton about art and fashion. She was also a cheerleader. I'm sure that counts for something.

Who like taking off their clothes, except Alexis Bledel, who is all classy and shit. So have some cleavage.

Marion is a decent shot with a gun, though she might have trouble with newer models.

And she can kick ass with a frying pan.

Sarah has the usual spy Bag o'Tricks: Dancing, disguise, seduction, resisting truth serum, accents, picking locks, tapping phones, etc. She is canonically fluent in Spanish, French, German and Polish, and I could probably make a case for her speaking almost anything except Chinese.

Marion has one hell of a punch but she ends up having to be saved a lot.

Hoshi is a latent telepath. Her canon never really explained this except to say that a creepy telepathic alien really liked Hoshi's unique mind and wanted her to stay with him. At the moment, all she's really been able to do is subconsciously pick up what another telepath is actively broadcasting.

Pepper's OCD owns yours. No, seriously, she can organize the crap out of things, and she's extremely well-connected. All of Tony's connections go through her, after all.

She's also very fast-thinking, fantastic at math, and while I don't have canon on this (I think), I'm going to guess she can speak most major world languages at least passably.

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

Pepper can run in four-inch heels.

I'm sorry, I count that as a skill.

Re: Fighting Abilities

[identity profile] missed-the-gate.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
John loses to girls. All girls. Even Gavin.

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.

I need icons from Shakespeare in Love, really. With naked Gwynnie.

Andros is familiar with energy blasters (particular the astro blaster that he has as part of his being a ranger) and his spiral saber, he has trained extensively with both and is very comfortable with using them when needed.

Turtle had been doing a ton of training with a standard guns, especially pistols. She's gotten fairly good, too, although she really, really, really hates to use them.

Re: Mutations!

[identity profile] missed-the-gate.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
John's DNA is Ancient, people. He has the strongest recorded Ancient Technology Activation gene. Which only means something if there's powered Ancient Tech round for him to turn on. Dirty.

Re: Fighting Abilities

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Turtle has been training in fighting as well, although she hasn't picked up on that as much as she has her gun training. She's still fairly physically weak.

Unless we're talking about her kicks. Her kicks have always and continue to be almost shin-crippling and very effective.

Claire's got nothin', pretty much. She's a gifted photographer and multimedia artist and apparently a decent writer (thought it only comes up in canon a very few times). But unless you need a sarcastic remark, she is probably not who you want for a plot.

Re: Support Skills

[identity profile] missed-the-gate.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
John's ability to synthesize complicated information into simple similes is both canonical and fun.

Re: Fighting Abilities

[identity profile] imcalledandros.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
As a result of his ranger training Andros is particularly skilled with hand to hand combat and has trained from a young age at developing his skills.

Re: Psychics

Sookie is telepathic. She almost always has some level of mental blocking up so that she won't hear everyone's thoughts, but she can hear most people if she doesn't.

For a full list of who she can/can't read, go here (http://justwantsquiet.livejournal.com/1000.html#cutid4). Otherwise, she can't hear vampires no matter what, but most supernatural beings give her some trouble, and anyone with similar powers should be able to tell if she pokes around.

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.

Hoshi is on track to fluency in about 40 different languages by the time she's 21. She can pick up new languages very easily and can even produce sounds not capable by most humans for those nifty alien languages.

She's also good with research.

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.
absolutesnark: (Oh really?)

[personal profile] absolutesnark 2009-01-13 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Piper has some knife skills (particularly athames) in canon, though she is not nearly as skilled as others are.

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2009-01-13 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Turtle has an extremely good grasp on anything numbers. Her organizational skills are truly impressive, and she's a whiz when it comes to marketing and stocks. Being able to pick anything apart meticulously is a valuable asset that comes to its best use in a court or law involved situation.

She's basically a Wall Street Sue.
