Character Abilities Tally

It's that time again omg.

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 Chuck will get Nate to go out with you and then dump you two episodes later**~~ OCD UP!

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

For those trained in hand-to-hand combat.

Please reply with a detailed explanation of what abilities in this range your character is possesses, and their skill level/s.

Chuck...isn't really much of a fighter but he can hold his own in one of those schoolboy homoerotic tussles that you see on teen soaps.

Warning: Fight with Chuck Bass may end in sex.

Veronica can hold her own in a fight. She spars with a half-demon on a regular basis. She fights dirty though and isn't above tasering someone in the balls.

Riggins is extremely good at brawling. He goes out looking for fights for fun (because he's crazy). He's like a weeble where he can take a lot of hits and not fall down.

Ino's form and speed are definitely good--her biggest problem is her lack of strength--but she's nothing amazing.

Lois is very, very good in hand to hand combat. She's a black belt in karate and can take down fully grown men with little trouble.

It takes a lot to provoke Jack to a physical fight and mostly he would rather not, but for a small guy he can take care of himself.

To quote Ted Evelyn Mosby "Don't get in a fight with your Uncle Marshall, kids. Because that guy's crazy."

Marshall. Kicks. Ass. All of years of fighting with his older brothers have paid off and he can do well when fighting an average human being. He will also slap the shit out of you.

Brennan has training in a variety of hand-to-hand martial arts. She's very good, though not in the range of a soldier or ninja.

Alex is both a brawler and a very good technical wrestler. He beat the shit out of his father for abusing his mother and ended up going to the University of Iowa on a wrestling scholarship.

Hand to hand combat is what Emmett likes best. One punch from him is pretty much guaranteed to knock a human on their ass. Or unconscious. Smeyer describes his fighting style as "bear like". Which I guess means he tackles the shit out of you and bites your neck. He can rip your limbs off.

Like a Wookiee.

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

Adam is a disciplined and skilled fighter and specializes in the style of Shaolin Kung Fu. That being said, Adam has also picked up a few other types of fighting styles from training with his close friends, Tommy and Rocky (karate).

Adam is an efficient fighter in hand to hand combat. He's got quick reflexes and was trained to fight in the ways of the ninja, while living in Stone Canyon. Adam is used to going up against people and things that are bigger and stronger than he, and he knows his strengths and limits.

I'll assume being BFFs with Jim Kirk means that you're in for a lot of bar fights. So I'm gonna say that he can throw a punch or two.

Derek does training classes at the FBI in Judo so I'd say pretty darn good.

~~And he can tackle anything.~~

Two years training in Kick Boxing, Tai Chi and Tae Kwon Do, and Dinah's at an intermediate level, edging up on green or blue belt, probably. She's also fast. Not metahuman fast, just, works-out-every-day reflexes. She's gotten stronger from the weight-lifting required for sword work too, getting close to the top of the range for a teenage girl her size (5'10"). And she likes picking up tricks from everyone she fights in Fight Club.

With the use of her additional abilities, she can handle larger attackers or more than one person. Her touch-telepathy lets her predict some of their moves (although it also be massively distracting, depending on the attacker) and her TK allows her to push people off of her, grab weapons, or slam attackers into the ground or walls. Or lift-then-drop them. She's regularly been practicing variations with Tahiri.

Fiona has very little formal training but she's got a ridiculous amount of natural talent. She's also taking karate lessons from Griff at the moment, as well as sword lessons from Arthur.

Don't put Ender Wiggin in a corner.

Or, alternatively, he has been trained in self-defense, and he's ruthless as all hell once pushed. Smart and nimble are the key words. Is not the greatest of fighters, but has a preternatural talent for going for the throat, so kind of scary anyway.

Bobby's pretty good at hand-to-hand even when not using his powers, thanks to combat training at Xavier's.

For his world, Tyler's a damn good fighter -- he's fearless and resilient, and he's been doing it since he was 14. And he fights dirty. He can be beaten just because he's not military or superpowered, but for a "normal" he's probably one of the best fighters on the island.

*uses ironic icon, la*

Tahiri has your basic Jedi training in hand-to-hand combat, and has been sparring enough with people in the past year as well as picking up a lot of hands-on experience from her last canon catchup time that she's pretty decent. By Fight Club standards I've got her at high intermediate level. Also, due to her Force abilities (more on that in the appropriate section) she can totally rock the flips and flying leaps and stuff.

Again, Arthur is a trained knight who's pretty good at the hand-to-hand, and isn't afraid to mix it up with weaponry or semi-foul-play. He's definitely more of a brawler than a martial artist, but he has the strength (and above all, as canon tells us, the speed) required to be pretty good for an unpowered fighter.

Romeo's a street brawler, nothing fancy but he's been in enough fights to have some idea what to do. He's average at best for Fandom.

Hoshi is trained in the art of aikido. She's capable of defending herself against a physical attack, and recently, she broke the arm of someone who attacked her.

Hannibal's a standard brawler and a dirty one at that.
