[ The image that resolves is one of a young man wearing a blue domino mask. His smile is friendly and warm as he lifts a hand in a wave hello.

It's just also largely covered by a thick black beard. (He has at least trimmed it, but it's going nowhere anytime soon.]


Hi, everyone.

We all know we're probably heading into a new mission soon, and at this point we've spent a lot of time working together and learning about each other. I know we'd all like to be able to plan ahead, but without knowing what the mission will be until it comes, the only way to get started is to figure out what kind of assets and abilities we have available.

If you're willing, check in and let everyone know what skills, talents, powers, or other abilities you have.

No one has to participate. But if we all can get a better idea of what we can do, we can try to plan ahead, form teams between people with complementary abilities.

I'll start: hi, I'm Nightwing, and while I'm a normal powerless human, I can offer hand to hand combat, acrobatic, and detective skills, and — uh —

[ He looks over his shoulder, at something or someone off-camera. ]

Hi, Robin. Care to introduce yourself and your abilities to the nice people?

Um. There is so much to unpack here.

Nightwing is undervaluing himself. For the record, I have decent martial arts skills and am down a sparring partner.

I didn’t catch that. Did you say tactile telekinesis?

Gravikinesis. There's a very complicated explanation I could give here but the simple one is that I touch things and make gravity go weird.

I can offer a good ear to those who need someone to listen... I am still a priest, I suppose. [ :) ] Although, I would say that Heather Mason girl probably is better at it than I am... since her manner of listening and helping is more secular.

[ Let it not be said he doesn't promote when he can. ]

Still, I do feel bad just hiding behind someone... will they forgive me for it, you think?

There goes my chance to hustle my next partner.

You got sidetracked after you grew a beard. When Robin’s done with you - because I might be on Team Robin - I want a word.

[ Sorry, Nightwing, she has an entirely unrelated question because— ]

Okay, no. One second here. First the kid, now you? Is anyone going to explain the mask thing?

[ Robin's whole getup was worth a quirk of an eyebrow, but now this guy is doing it, too? What is going on? ]
ascarylady: (115;)

[personal profile] ascarylady 2025-01-14 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, so that's what it is...

Guess we do, kind of. One gang goes all out with full-face masks, though. Not those little things.

I don't.

You can, though.

Sounds like you're expecting the next mission to be a shitshow. Lovely.

[ But he does approve of being prepared. ]

I'm Vax'ildan. Call me Vax. Back home, I was in a mercenary group, so I can fight. Before that, I was in a thieves guild. I can sneak in and out of places. Pick locks. Spot traps. Track something if there are visible signs. I'm also fast. I can fly. And I can see the dead.

... Some of those are new skills.

[ Tim is still cycling around the tactile -kinesis combination. He doesn’t have to think about it: he knows he’s never heard anyone else describe their powers in that way. It’s just odd. ]

And making gravity “go weird” means that you can lift a mountain with a finger and simulate superstrength and flight?

Dude, I'm good, but I'm not that good. I'm more of a lifting motor vehicles, jumping mid-sized buildings in a single bound, and walking up walls kinda guy.

Pretty sure that's what they were going for when they made me though. Obviously I didn't come out as advertised. Turns out that's what happens when someone blows things up halfway through.

Cloud Strife. Enhanced SOLDIER. Pretty much all physical capabilities, constitution, senses, all augmented beyond human peak. Also got a motorcycle and the skills to drive it anywhere.

Hi! I'm Chrissy.

[Here, she smiles and waves.]

I was a cheerleader all through high school and a couple of years of middle school, and I did gymnastics for years before that. I used to babysit after school and over summer breaks, so I'm good with kids. And parents, I guess. [And everyone, honestly. She's good at getting along with pretty much anyone who isn't overtly hostile or abrasive.]

Let's see... I read a lot. I can cook and bake. I can sew. I'm organized. I have nice penmanship?

[None of these things sound particularly exciting, but not everyone can be a superhero.]

I'm Manfred, but my friends back home call me Manny. I'm the leader of a herd back where I'm from and I can help with some heavy lifting and fighting off threats to our safety.
