Character Abilities Tally!

Hey, guys!

For everybody's convenience in plotting, we try to keep a running (ifyoudon'tcountlastsemestercough) list of the various abilities possessed by FH characters. If you ever find yourself saying, "Hey, I need a magic user/archer/ninja/person who can watch 48 straight hours of Zac Efron movies and still remain sane," that list of powers is meant to be there for you to take a look at. (It's not mandatory; it just gives everybody a better reference when they're looking for people to help out with plots, and hey, might get your character roped into something fun!)

Here's how we deal with updating this baby!


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

  • This post only needs to be filled out for new characters, or if you have a correction/update for your older ones. If your stuff is listed over on the spreadsheet and nothing's changed, there's no need to fill out that category again. (And my poor aging eyes will love you because it's one less cell to update on a seven-page spreadsheet.)

  • The categories focus on "what can you do" instead of worrying about whether that's a magic or mutant or species-specific ability. So wacky powers are just broken into spellcasting, psionic powers, and superhuman physical attributes.

  • 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, teachers, townies and alumni/expats - and covers everything, not just the wacky powers. We also appreciate yer fighting, research, weapons, support skills and Zefron-resistance.




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

Ramona has the ability to call to herself a large mallet, which she can wield with some ease. Really, to say she calls it to her probably isn't fair; in Scott Pilgrim canon, the mallet is produced from her subspace purse. Since she doesn't have the bag in Fandom, though, the mallet appears in her hands when needed.

Katniss uses a bow and arrow, and is a very good shot. She might be considered a sniper, considering how sparingly she uses her arrows, and is also very good at making sure to retrieve them.

Wesley has had tons and tons of weapon training. He's still working on some stuff, but he'll eventually get to a point where he can shoot two guns while jumping through the air and hit his target perfectly. Yeah, he's one of those. Perfect sharpshooter.

He's very good with a sword (except against Percy, ahem) and can wield all sorts of other fun stuff passably. Axes, crossbows, all sorts of stuff.

I suppose this would go here rather than superhuman attributes.

Tony is in possession of the Stark Exo-Suit. And will be building more as the need arises. Don't ask how he got the money for this without raising eyebrows at the company that he does not currently control. It makes your brain hurt.

The normal suit is capable of: Superhuman strength (A couple tons maaaaybe?) and flight. It is also equipped with repulsor gauntlets, a unibeam (on his chest), a forcefield aaaaand the ability to play with magnets.

There are other suits to be made such as: The Silver Centurion armor (Upgraded normal armor for those boss fights), the Dynamobuster armor (FOR SMASHING HULK!), Space armor (...), Arctic armor (For fighting Blizzard), aaaand Stealth Armor (which renders the wearer invisible somehow. Idek, it's a cartoon, okay?)

He has faaaaabulous suits, mmkay?

Again with the last few hundred years of training. She knows guns, knives, is a master fencer (Bluebeard taught her), and improvisational weapons (like cars from the previous example).

Cindy's kind of a killing machine when it comes down to it. (And that's why I picked her PB. Oh, I'm so funny.)

Guns are her preferred weapons, usually.

Bruce has a prototype utility belt in which he keeps shuriken, bolos, smoke bombs, small explosives, brass knuckles, and a grappling hook with steel cable.

Bruce is very comfortable using all of those things. He has great accuracy with the shuriken and bolos, and he knows what he's doing with the explosives.

Bruce is also experienced - but not yet an expert by any means - with swords, staffs, and other melee weapons.

Lucas has a skateboard. He's awesome on it. He can use it as a weapon, too.
