Well my gifts are the ability to build weapons with any matierial avalible, and not crude designs either. I also am much stronger than most top athletes, I came from a world almost identical to this one, we did not have as much of a paranormal problem as here. There comic books were a reality, a very large portion of the population had super human powers of some kind, there were even aliens walking among us. I guess I am similar to the Genius/Physical Psycic I seen referenced in Dr. Lazlos' works.

I have fought people who could fold, bend and mutilate some of the creatures we have seen here. I always wanted to be a hero growing up, just never thought I could because I didn't see my abilities as super hero stuff. I ended up a wanted criminal because I took the law into my own hands to punish criminals no law would touch. Here I am happy to take out these things feeding on humanity.
There will always be a reason to fear the unknown, fear is a good way to ground yourself in reality, or at least the part of it that leaves you sane. ( Funny term for those of us that deal with the supernatural.)

I have the Power to put Foot to Ass for my species. (I really wish I'd seen that "What Powers" option.)

I do magic, sometimes, other times it does with me.
The flows of magic are whimsical today, and by that I mean they kicked my butt.

I ain't got no powers, Jack, but I'm crazy strong, and one of the Society's best martial artists.

Wait, Willie, "one of"? Being just a tad bit modest, are we? *poke poke nudge nudge*

I'm the resident druid. I do a few things up there, and with practice, I could probably do a few others. Right now, my main focus is on healing and protection, though I'm also capable of the occasional major ritual, when the times call for it and the situation is desperate enough.

Which I'd say it is, at the moment. C'mon, Eric, get my wolf down to that Nexus Point...

My "powers" as you seem to think of them are a well trained body and mind (although age has slowed my blades somewhat) and a knowledge of the spirits that inhabit all things along with the knowledge of what rituals to use to attract and/or drive off some of those spirits. it has also been brought to my attention that my knowledge of chi is considered by some of you to be a "power". i'll leave the showing off to the next generation of warriors to fight the akuhei kami.
Understanding, is not a thing that comes swiftly, but rather in stages, a journey that once begun, must be seen to it's end.

It's possible that Razor, Bowie, or Shang Li could give me a run for my money. One of these days I'll have to meet them and see.

Oops slip of the keyboard

Didn't mean any disrespect, just a slip of the keyboard. Probably would have been better to phrase that as "What abilities/gifts?".

Trust me there is no showing off here. I was just trying to get to know those I am talking and working with a little better.

I posess a skeptical and rational mind. Oddly enough I'm completly facinated by the supernatural and the unusual. I think that unless someone like me seeks out such things with the tools and rationale of today that society will slip back towards the older days when superstition had a stranglehold on society. I also belive that there are too many people who use the guise of the supernatural as an excuse for preying upon others or stirring up a ruckus. I also posess (in a manner of speaking) a corporate backer who is willing to finacial back some of my goals.

I was once a The Great Destroyer, I fed upon the blood of kings, I have wiped entire races into extinction, I slayed the angelic host by the hundred, but now I do not my purpose...I have gained an insight I did not expect, nor did my former masters want me possess. I am now stronger because of it, and hunt them and there minions down every chance that befalls me. I care not for man, I make that clear, nor do I seek redemption.
I am what I am, a monster with a conscious.....

I have the power to know better than to tell everyone and their creepy uncle what I can do.

And one more thing... GRIM, it was? Don't get in my way. I know what you realy are, and if you don't want to be returned to a state more primal than you think you can be...

I ain't got no powers, magic, or special training. I don't know jack bout that martial arts stuff either like some of them fellas. I don't even have an arsenal, teams of men, or all them conections like other society folks do. I just rely on
me, myself, and I, oh and my loyal dog Duke. Heck, most things my two
fists can't hanld, my .45 can, and if I need to really make a point,
I break out Bessie. Its like I say,
" My shotgun's got two barrels, which one you got dibs on. " Thats right.

Happy Huntin'
"Too serve and protect", somethin' bout that gets a lil' blurred when dealin' with the supernatural.

I have a plethora of resources at my disposal, and use them to help research and determine the nature of the threats and events we describe here. I possess the gift of knowledge, or at least the means to acquire it.

I personally have a wide range of skills and abilities. Years of self-reliance, and training, among other things have given me this. I've had to pull off stuff by the skin of my teeth because no other single person would help, or see what was right in front of them.

It's good to have friends.

Oh and Sifu Long... I would love to spar sometime.

I wouldn't say that I have powers per se, but being bonded with a millenia old enchanted sword does have its perks. I can draw on the collected experience and knowledge of each and every previous wielder of Karlash, not to mention the wisdom of Karlash itself. I seem to heal a little faster than I used to, and demons just don't frighten me (they only seem to piss me off).

Still, I'll never be able to lead a "normal" life, and I'm bonded to this sword till the day I die. I'm caught in this eternal war of good vs. evil.

And I wouldn't have it any other way. :wink:
