Character Abilities Tally Version 2.0: Shorter But Size Doesn't Matter, Right?

Hey, guys!

For everybody's convenience in plotting, we try to keep a running list of the various abilities possessed by FH characters. If you ever find yourself saying, "Hey, I need a magic user/archer/person who can whistle Dixie while eating crackers and covering one eye," that list of powers is meant to be there for you to take a look at.

It's been a while since we did this, but we've made some changes we hope you'll like, in the interim:

  • All of the previous posts have been compiled into a spreadsheet that you can always head over to check (it'll be linked on the FH community info page)

  • From now on, we only need people to fill this out for new characters, or if you have an update or correction for your older ones. If your stuff is listed over on the spreadsheet, don't worry about this!

  • We've streamlined the categories a bit to focus on "what can you do" instead of worrying about whether that's a magic or mutant or inherent ability. So the wacky powers are now just broken into spellcasting, psionic powers, and superhuman physical attributes. (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] puppy_fair for that suggestion.)



Anything that is a canon power or ability of your character (including those developed at FH) and could be used in a plot in some way, please list below in the correct thread. This is for all character types - students/alumni, teachers and townies - and covers everything, not just the wacky powers. We also appreciate yer fighting, research, weapons, support skills and Dixie whistling, baby.

Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to do this!

[Wait for the OCD or every radio broadcast from now until December will contain a hidden rick-roll. OCD up! Have at it!]

Azula's main ability is Firebending, which she's adamant to point out isn't magic. Firebending is simply the ability to create and manipulate fire. And she's damned good with it, she's probably one of the most powerful benders in her world since she's able to comfortably go toe-to-toe with the Avatar. She has an almost infinite capacity to create fire and just not any fire but blue fire. Because blue flame is hotter than the average fire, blue fire is concussive as well as flamingly hot. Azula can also be pretty creative with fire.

She can also control fire that's near her vicinity and the fire turns blue once she begins to control the flame.

Another ability in her arsenal is the ability to bend lightning. A direct strike from lightning can kill people dead.

Aside from these bending abilities Azula also shares the ability to leap abnormally high and has a surprising agility and speed that even the Avatar, an airbender, couldn't keep up. She's also quite resilient and can bat away rocks the size of a basketball with no trouble.
