fhplotterywheel | 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 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!]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Witches, wizards - people who use magic in any form, basically. Please reply with a detailed explanation of how your ability works.

This is a bit of a blanket thread for anyone who can do anything exceptional with their mind - empaths, telepaths, telekinetics, mediums, etc. If you can do it with just the power of your braaaaaaaaain, it goes here.

Super-strength, super-jump if you hold down A and press B really fast at the same time, growth, shrinkage (not the cold shower kind), tentacles, regeneration, healing by laying on of hands not dirty --- unusual stuff that you can do with your body goes here.

Please reply with a detailed explanation of which weapon/s your character is comfortable with and their skill level/s.

For those trained in combat, hand-to-hand or otherwise. (The weaponry thread is about tools; this is about actual fighting skills.) Please reply with a detailed explanation of what abilities in this range your character possesses, and their skill level/s.

If your character has a lot of experience in being a "sidekick" or has exceptional researching, language or organizational skills that might be beneficial in a plot, this is the place to reply. Additionally, this is the place to reply with medical experience if your character has any. Please reply with a detailed explanation of what abilities your character is possesses, and their skill level/s.

Anything else that could come in handy that we didn't specifically mention above! (This is where you whistle Dixie.)

What it says.

Claire has just learned that an injection of her blood will heal someone else.

Booth refers to Sweets as a "portable lie detector". He is excellent at reading body language and knowing if someone is lying.

ILU

Spreadsheets are my kink. Shh.

Gibbs is an expert marksmen with a rifle and handgun. He used to be a damn good sniper though his eyesight has dropped a level or two since his younger days.

Still doesn't stop him from taking out a caf-pow addicted terrorist from over a mile away though.

Can we have a rick-roll in every radio broadcast from now until December?

Where's the OOC thread? Will the world end?

Gibbs is well-verse in hand-to-hand combat and keeps in regular practice even though he is older than dirt compared to most people on the island.

He can also smack the back of anyone's head when they need sense smacked into them.

No. Well, Nick can.

This is the OOC thread. It's just STEALTH. Shhhhh.

*jealouses*

But does that work? Does the world know it's stealth? What if it doesn't and it decides to end because of it? What will happen to the kittens?

Layla Miller "Knows Stuff" which means she has "Quantum Precognition".

And I'm taking this directly from the Marvel Wiki:

With this power, Layla has the ability to see paths of causality to their ultimate conclusion, which allows her to alter events to prevent or cause certain occurrences; this gives her a sense of apparent omniscience. All she has to do is do one thing at one end, and it makes things turn out the way they should at the other end. Able to see the true reality. She is even able to view a person's real history at a detailed level. Ability to know very detailed sequences of events that will occur in her immediate area, causing her to say she "knows stuff." Whether her ability extends globally as well is still unknown.

Presumably (according to her) if she tells anyone exactly how her power works she will be struck down dead on the spot.

However there have been a few times has exhibited 'blind spots'. Her abilities apparently do not work as well on Quicksilver, due to a chaotic influence, possibly caused by Quicksilver's relation to the Scarlet Witch, or those related to Singularity Investigations (like her brainwashed teammate Strong Guy), especially CEO Damian Tryp, whom she cannot read at all.

He doesn't cast spells or anything but Adrian uses elemental magic. Even if the only kind we see him use in canon is spirit. He can read auras so if someone has something supernatural going on with their character he should be able to tell something's up easily and can tell moods from it. He can also dreamwalk, setting up and walking right into another person's dream to talk to them like he would if they were sitting right next to each other. He uses compulsion too, which is like a Jedi mind trick but less obvious without the hand flail.

Lindsay is a damn good shoot with a revolver. Like all damn good TV Cops.

Lindsay is a very good hand to hand combat, and can hold her own in most fights.

As a mortal, Didi's magic powers are limited to the (slight and far from infallible) tendency of the universe to want to take care of her; in other words, she's lucky.

As an Endless (which she isn't, technically, at the moment), she can bend perceptions and shift the world to make it suit what she wants. Her siblings tend to do this a lot more than Death does.

Also as Death, she's there when creatures are born and when they die, and seems to have very limited precognition in that she knows how things will die. (But not other details.)

Hey, it's not my fault that you left the door wide open for a driveby comment demanding a rick-roll.

Angela can do math and plan lame parties!

What, I wanna be involved.

Dear Self,

LEARN TO READ.

No love,

Me
