It's storming brains! Hallelujah!

What time is it? Time for a brainstorming post!

It is also time not to reply to said post until I'm done with the OCD for it. DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE. Because I so will. Then I'll be there and it'll be all awkward because I'm actually supposed to be at work and everybody here will wonder where I wandered off too and it will be ALL YOUR FAULT. So just wait with the posting already. Good? Good.

And now OCD is up! Storm away!

Gabrielle's canon schtick throughout the early seasons is getting captured and held hostage a lot, so in case anyone needs a convenient plot hostage who won't be massively PTSD afterward, I offer her as an option. She's also always available to break people's brains with her wacky-ass version of ancient history. ;)

That's the only particularly unique spare-part-y bit I can think of to offer for my girls. Of the others, Katchoo has some covert-ops skills and is actually quite good at flirting/charming information out of people, or assuming a persona to sneak in somewhere. Or being EXPLOSIVELY RAGEY. Tahiri's around in case you have a need for basic Jedi-type abilities, and she's a decent starfighter pilot now. As for Kennedy, I only recently found out that apparently the Potentials are somewhat subject to the prophetic dreams (stupid vague canon), but since I started out assuming she didn't, I'm spinning it so that any such dreams she has are vague enough to be pretty much useless. So I have nothing to offer there, unless you happen to need a hotheaded, quippy, but entirely average fighty-type for something. I don't do much with Lacey's tendency to butt into other people's business because, yeah, butting in, but she's available for that if you think your townie needs someone to annoy them.


ETA: And for the alumni. Nothing particularly unique in this bunch but, y'know. :)

Anders has (though he doesn't realize the reason) the upped physical stamina/strength/disease resistance of a Cylon, and is available if you need an unpowered athletic muscle guy who's pretty decent with guns. (I would like to avoid having him kill people, although with a good plotty reason for it I wouldn't say no.)

Conner no longer has Ranger morphing abilities, but he does have super-speed, a cool car, and the ability to, uh. Look pretty while being kinda dumb.

Jen Scotts does have Ranger morphing abilities and excellent marksmanship, as well as police training from the FUTURE.
