Skills

Everyone has skills to make them good at what they do so I thought we should say what those skill are and please keep it real.

Since I started this I will go first

Martial Arts
Searching a Crime Scene
Surveillance
Researching
interrogation
trailing

Crime scene
interrogation
trailing
evidence processing
armament identification
substance analysis
beer disposal

There's already a thread for this sort of thing that Tothian made in the Voting booth

Yes but we do not who has what skills

You can add your skills there in the option of "Other". In addition to the most common ones. I also have another thread in this section with some skills that would be helpful for people in this community.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

But while that's a thread that talks about what skills would be useful - how, and why, this one can get more into detail about your own skills. But, do check out the poll I made because that helps to give better statistics about whose skilled in what areas, while also breeding discussion there too.

Rollerblading
Info with other Languages (Finnish, English, Swedish, German)
Photography
Charity, Fundraising work
Working with Gadgets, Tools & Mobile phone
First Aid

From reading the thread I'm not sure if the intention is for us to post on a different thread or not. Since I can hardly claim the following list is essential to crime-fighting, I'll post it here.

First off the main skills I lack and am developing prior to embarking on my RLSH career:
- Parkour running (well)
- Powerbocking (well)

I'm not sure what to say on my list of skills I currently have, other than maybe to sum it up as "extensive"?

It's good to keep that ego in check, eh.

But that's only natural having lived my adult life trying very hard to be a real life comic book character.

who are you guys interrogating up there?




just curious because interrogation is different from just asking questions of somebody.

Thanatos' clients don't do a lot of talking...

I would guess they either had some kind of military training in intelligence interrogation or it was included in a law enforcement class they attended or maybe they took the Reid interrogation course... ?

Yah. Interrogation is not the same thing as "interviewing" or "debriefing."

The approximate legal alternative (for those of us not authorized to detain someone, which is probably all of us) would be "elicitation" or "social engineering."

Lifting things
Grappling
Boxing
High pain tolerance
Intimidation
Interrogation
Documentation
Good with Computers
Good Knowledge of Human Anatomy


I can also Bake a mean cake, but that isn't really the kinds of skills we're talking about are they.

I am sure Tothian already has a thread like this, there is always room for 2! I am gonna go!

of course these are for my RLSH persona and not my other ego, he has lots of other skills.

Watching
Predicting (People)
Bravery
Running long distances
Boxing
Defensive blocking skills
being someone you can trust;)
Scouting
Being friendly with citizens
charismatic persuasion - I try
able to notice that the world needs people willing to stand up and help others
Tracking
Common Sense (its a skill, not many have it!)

RV
"electrifying for good"

the only skill i can really think of is my knowledge of wilderness survival. i'm no expert by any means but its been a long time hobby of mine that i have studied extensively.

other then that i will be getting certified in first aid and cpr. i'm also looking into first responder and fire fighter training.

Well, let me see...

*Self defense (some martial arts and wrestling training. The wrestling would come in handy if someone tries to take me down. I've seen fights won and lost by takedown defense)

*Observation (Was in band and stagecraft in high school. I notice the small things.)

*This isn't really a skill, but connections of all sorts in the area I patrol with my team.

*Creation of makeshift tools and gadgets. (Again, stagecraft.)

*Pain tolerance training

*Logo and mask design

And that is all I can think of at the moment...

EDIT: I'd like to also add that research is one of my fortés also.

Some self defense and martial arts (but am still learning)

First Aid (First Responder's)

Running (sprinting and cross country)

Free running

Public Speaking

People Watching

Slipping into the Shadows

I can't believe nobody has claimed "nunchuk skills" yet. I can twirl them a bit, but it's been a long time.

I am awesome with a shovel...

@Champ - Did we just become best friends?

Lets see.

Programing
Good with electronics
"Budding" Engineer

I also seem to have the penchant to pick up and remember bits of information from everywhere.

*The asterisk indicates skills that are out of practice and a bit "rusty".

In reality -

Audiographic Memory - Great for remembering things, sucks for my friends as I spout movie quotes 24/7

Electronics - Built a small emp generator the other day

Computer Hardware

Computer Networking (I can tap into any network if a line is available to splice or wifi is available)

Equipment Engineering

Tracking

Alchemy

Master Strategist - 4 years studying war

Fist Fights - What I do ain't pretty but it gets the job done

Descriptive drawing skills

Nunchuks are illegal in Canada (I am unaware if they are in the states as well or not) but I have received basic weapon training with escrima sticks.

I have mad "accidentally injuring myself with nunchuk skills". That count?

"Nunchuks skills" is a Napoleon Dynamite reference. They're probably illegal to walk around with in the states, too. Plus I don't think they'd be that great for crimefighting, anyway.
