Character Abilities Tally!

[nookiepowered]

Hey, guys!

For everybody's convenience, for both BDEs and personal plots, we try to keep a running list of the various abilities possessed by FH characters; the last time we did this was in January, so three runs of newbies later seemed like a good time to catch up.

If you ever find yourself saying, "Hey, I need a magic user/archer/ninja/dork who has all the dialogue to Galaxy Quest memorized," this 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.)
  
  
• Anything that is
  
  a) a canon power or ability of your character, or
  b) a skill/ability developed during their time in the game
  
  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 ability to speak Tev'Meck.



• 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 broken into spellcasting, psionic powers, and superhuman physical attributes, and non-wacky powers are divided into weapons, fighting, support, and miscellaneous (aka "It doesn't seem to fit in any of those groups, but dammit, you need to know that my character can do it!")
  
  
  

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

Re: Psychic/Psionic Abilities

I'm just going to throw most of the succubus stuff here, since it's a mixed bag of physical and mental.

Bo can read levels of sexual attraction coming from the people near her, and tell whether it's directed at her, or at each other.

She can also control people's minds through touch, specifically by clouding their mind with sexual bliss, then directing them to answer questions or perform various acts. It wears off after a while (canon reveals there's a way to make it more permanent, but Bo doesn't know how) and expends a lot of her energy.

Recent canon has also implied that if someone with powers of their own makes a psionic or magical bond with her mind, Bo has a chance at being able to read that person in reverse while the link exists, even if their powers aren't supposed to work that way.

Finally, she gains energy/life by draining it from her sexual partners; this ability isn't under control as of yet, so she currently sticks to people with powers of their own who can slow things down or fight back (or who are already dead and thus she can't actually kill them).
