New Midnighter Abilities (Anybody from Westerboard?)

(1/4) > >>

Jurisprudence:
We used to have a really good thread on the Westerboard where we came up with additional Midnighter abilities. (If anyone still has the list, I would love to see it again.) But since the original Westerboard was lost in cyberspace (RIP), I figured we could create a new list here. So think of some cool new powers for the blue time, and give them a nifty name. Let's try to stay away from the standards like Telekinesis, etc.

Abilities
Acrobat - an ability that reduces one's personal gravity, allowing the user to jump great distances and simulate limited flight.
Flame Bringer - a rare talent that allows the user to create fire and use electrical devices during the Blue Time.
Mindcaster - the ability to hear the thoughts of others in addition to manipulating minds.
Polymath - an inherent aptitude for mathematics, allowing the user to easily list thirteen letter words and process mathematical data at a greater rate than even a regular computer.
Seer - the ability to read lore and see the other midnighters and anything touched by Darklings or slithers in a strange focus.

Aaaand to start us off, I'll add my own to the list:
Alchemist - the ability to turn normal objects into a new alloy/metal during the Blue Time with limited control of magnetism.

Heliopteryx:
Don't forget the Metallurge.  (I think that's how it's spelled.)

tridecagirl:
(I think I dreamed this up at lunch sometime...)
Time jumper - or something like that. THe name's not too clear...
I thought it would be neat if someone could touch people and bring them in and out of the blue time. Wake up stiffs, freeze darklings and midnighters... that would be cool. Question is, would it be a controlled power, or could they not touch anyone during the midnight hour?

Team Toshi Banana:
I've always imagined a midnighter who could tame darklings. I don't know, just think that would make an interesting story. Since the midnighter was a darkling-tamer, the darklings wouldn't harm the midnighter, so the midnighter wouldn't think that the darklings were bad, and wouldn't want to use the power to harm the darklings. If that midnighter is friends with a seer who hates darklings and wants them all destroyed, it would make a good story.
Sorry, went off-topic there, anyway, I thought that'd be a cool power for a Midnighter.

Emma-la:
That would be icy. Maybe a Midnighter that can bring the blue time at any time of the day they want, for however long they want. Kinda like the eclipses in Blue Noon. Except more controlled. Maybe the Midnighter could be evil and friends with the darklings and plotting against the other Midnighters...sorry, I got off topic too.
