I think I kind of love that. Maybe a third side for the gremlins who don't care what's going on with the civil war, but just want to bite people because they think the school belongs to them? Or they just want to bite people. Anakin in fishnets?
... I can't stop thinking that there's something Ronan could do to help with that. Nothing comes immediately to mind, though. This may necessitate a reread of canon. ;) (Oh, what hardship.)
OH. OH. OH. SILICON CRYSTAL FROM THE PLANET OF THE MOBILES.
And I think you're right about an investigation into missing persons happening way early on. IIRC it was the L&O guys (RIP Jerry Orbach) and they focused on Wash for some reason.
Mitchell has crazy insane vampire senses. *offers up wee plotpoint* So if you need anything sniffed out or somesuch. Also if you need a vampire around for whatever reason - I'm not fussed about his nature coming out.
The rest from previous brainstorm posts: Cable and Ender can has be plotty for your characters, and Arthur is there for any mythological needs you may have. La!
Leto is prescient, although not as strongly as he will be later. He does have visions though, but he prefers not to talk about it. Should you need a vision of the future, just ask, though.
Or something really horrendous happens to someone, like getting poisoned by a spider or burned by acid, but they somehow come away with no damage. Because they made their saving throw.
Both Leda and Tim have access to intoxicating beverages of a magical nature. Leda's can have the added plot point of being very very addictive if you wish.
Tim's is Elven wine, very potent, but abosolutely a happy drunk, regardless of your usual drunk type.
Leda's can have basically any effect you want, but is also very potent. Is usually very very happy, but if you can be brought down when drunk or high, you'll be brought very low indeed.
Also Tim's got this magic sword, that can be used as a tracking device, or just about anything you need.
This is where I'm going to note that heromaniac had a seriously kickass idea for a plot like this, bringing in an actual criminal for the police to hunt down, and I'm going to drag her kicking and screaming to the thread to share >.>
