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.

Re: Inherent Abilities
As the Marrok's firstborn son, Samuel is the second most powerful werewolf in North America and his father's second-in-command when he's not lone-wolfing it. As a lone wolf, he doesn't want any trouble or to put anybody out, so he just sort of goes with the flow--the luxury of the powerful.
In human form, Samuel has enhanced reflexes, senses, and speed. In his wolf form, he is white with ice-blue eyes, and he's big even for a werewolf--and most of them weigh upwards of two hundred pounds. He resembles an outsized wolf in many respects, with more muscle, but his front legs are articulated more like a bear's than a dog or wolf's. Drugs do not work on him and he heals normal wounds very quickly, but silver is poison and a wound inflicted with a silver implement will heal at the same speed as a normal person would heal. He does have to change into a wolf at the full moon and hunt (in the Preserve), but other than that he can change at will. The change from human to wolf and back is not instantaneous: it takes several minutes, it is painful, and he shouldn’t change back for at least a couple of hours afterward. Under extreme conditions he can switch back and forth quickly, but he’ll be drained for a while afterward.
As a very dominant werewolf, people tend to want to follow Samuel’s directions and commands (unless of course they are very dominant themselves), and he has some resistance to mental coercion. This is mostly dependent on the strength and determination of the caster. For example, Edward Cullen’s low-level, subconscious ‘dazzle’ wouldn’t faze him, while a Jedi mind trick focused on him and cast by Anakin Skywalker probably would, and would be a very bad thing.
