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.

Sam knows Latin. Sam loves Latin. He probably has at least a passing knowledge of other ancient or dead languages as well, in addition to Hebrew.

He also has mid-level First Aid skills.

Dinah is sidekick to Oracle and Huntress, and is used to doing the legwork while Huntress beats people up and Oracle hacks databases. She has an intern's knowledge of forensics and crime scene investigation, as well as police procedure and basic first aid.

I don't know where this goooooes so I'm putting it here and in latent abilities.

Sam has some demon blood in him, which gives him access to a host of abilities. Presently, the only power he knows of is his prophetic dreams and visions, but with practice, he's capable of (among other things) telekinesis, mind control, super strength, electrokinesis, and controlling demons with his braaain.

Brooke knows how to catfight, and she can actually hit pretty good. You can kick her ass (I mean, she can "fall down the stairs"), though.

Sam can pick locks, forge signatures for fake IDs and credit cards, and can probably come up with a fake name in about the same time as it would take him to recall his real one.

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.

Also, she quips while beating you up.

Telepathy, empathy, telekinesis. She can also use the Force physically, using it in Force jumps and being speedy and she can sort of catch people with it. She's also pretty good at Force-throws, especially when pissed off.

Buffy's a slayer (duh), which means she's got the handy dandy fighting capabilities and is really resilient, healing from injuries quickly. She's also got some enhanced senses that allow her to sort of sense vampires and invisible girls who might be sneaking up on her. She's had precognitive dreams, and has some nifty slayer collective memory, but she's not aware of that yet.

Okay, here's the thing. I watch this show every time it comes on. I whine and I keysmash, but I still sit there. And you know what? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CHLOE'S POWERS ARE NOW BECAUSE SHE HAS BRAINIAC IN HER AND HE DID SOMETHING AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT AND I HATE EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD.

So she still has super empathy as far as FH canon goes BECAUSE SOMEHOW THAT'S THE BETTER OPTION.

If someone's got an ability that they don't *know* they have, should it be listed? It's something that they won't find out until there's a big enough chunk of time for a canon catch up, FWIW.

Aeryn's primary weapon is either a pulse pistol or rifle. (The best comparison is a blaster from Star Wars.) She has two rifles and four pistols, and is very good with them. She also has a grenade left over from snow monster weekend THREE YEARS AGO that she hasn't gotten to use. She's tried using guns from Earth and can work them fine, but she doesn't like them much.

She also has a small collection of knives, which work when she can't carry around a gun. She can use them, but would much rather shoot something.

Also in my head she's totally got them hidden somewhere the baby won't be able to get to them when he starts walking. Shhh.

Aeryn was born and bred military, so she's very well-versed in combat. (And like trained half of Fandom back in the day.) She's physically fit, has kept up practicing in the gym, and has kind of had to suppress a normally-violent instinct here so she's more than happy to be able to go off on someone/something every once in a while.

Aeryn is Sebacean (alien, la) and while she doesn't have any real powers, she does have better senses than humans, like hearing and eyesight and all that. Also is stronger than most humans. Also has those funky little translator microbes that mean she can understand pretty much any language.

I think that you can still put it up. Just make a note that it's a ability she doesn't have yet :)

Firekeeper is very skilled with a knife! Well, when it comes to fighting. Her ability to skin and tan hides is sort of questionable.

She's an excellent shot with a bow, and good with a sword as well.

Blind Seer's got fangs and claws, and is obviously pretty good with those!

Zoe is very, very good with guns. She's not so bad with knives either, especially since her aim is good, but guns are her best weapon.

Zoe has military training, so she's really better with weapons, but she knows how to take a man down with her bare hands, as long as she's dealing with someone human.

Zayne can use both a lightsaber and a blaster with the basic degree of competency that would come from years of training. He is highly unlikely to slice off one of his limbs or shoot himself in the foot or anything.

I wouldn't put money on him to win a duel with either weapon, though.

Firekeeper doesn't have much in the way of formal training, but she grew up wrestling wolves, and in canon can easily overpower men much larger than her, so, um. Pretty good fighter, yes.

And Blind Seer is um... a very big wolf. He's pretty good at hand to, uh. Paw.

Jess can hold his own in a fistfight.

Unless the other person is punching him like he's a mime, or throwing him in the lake, and then all bets are off.

Buffy is capable of research. She just doesn't do it. It's what she's got a team for.

Jess is a voracious reader, and has no trouble reading and summarizing things, even documents with big scary words.

He can also do basic magic tricks. Yes, really.

Amber's learned self-defense from Murock, also she took self-defense club, so she can kick butt.

Telekinesis, empathy (up to and including feeling people's deaths), mind-tricks, she can sense people nearby and if she's close enough to them (emotionally, not physically) she can tell who or where they are. Canon is sort of iffy on the extent, but she has some skill with telepathy, meaning that she can send people thoughts and images and read them from others and has been able to communicate that way. She has some minor healing capabilities, mostly for herself, though she has once or twice used them on other people more to get rid of discomfort than anything.

Jaina also has learned the more dark sidey things, like mind-wiping and the use of Force lighting (both of which just came WAY too easy to her, omg). She won't be doing this without a good reason, but she can.

Zayne has basic hand-to-hand training. He can defend himself, but his best strategy in a fight is likely to flee.
