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!

I'm putting this here, since these are the properties of the items he stole from Ares' Armory (by walking up to it with a Zeusdamn Javelin Anti-Tank Missile and blowing open the doors). This means that while Herc has the abilities here, technically in dire scenarios he could lend them out (barring one, which I'll note).

The Sword of Peleus: Sharp enough to cut through anything. Herc has used it to cut through guns, limbs, and even Gambit's staff. Poor Gambit.

The Bow and Arrows of Heracles: The arrows are sharp enough to pierce any armor.

The Shield of Perseus: The face of the shield features an image of the Medusa, and the eyes of that image are wrapped in cloth... for if those eyes are exposed, those in its gaze are temporarily turned to stone.

The Helm of Hades: Renders the wearer invisible. This, sadly, is the one that Herc can't lend out. Because having it in his possession is what is protecting him from being found by the gods. Cause they're kind of angry he busted open Ares' Armory.
