What makes you so SPECIAL?

[The Rogue Wolf]

Strength: 5- Good lower-body strength; poor upper-body strength. I can haul a fair bit of weight on my back, at least.

Perception: 8- A bit of tinnitus keeps me from hearing conversations well in noisy situations, but I pick up on details quickly and notice patterns where many others don't.

Endurance: 6- High pain tolerance, I generally recover quickly from injuries, and I can climb eight flights of stairs two steps at a time without stopping- but I get winded easily in a lot of aerobic exercises.

Charisma: 6- I can come off as a know-it-all or a bit of a jerk sometimes, but I'm generally easy to talk to and can convince people to do quite a few things when I put my mind to it.

Intelligence: 7- I brain pretty good, yeah. I know at least a little about a lot of things, and I know a lot about quite a few- and I can often put that knowledge to good use.

Agility: 6- I'm no dancer, but I'm generally fairly well-balanced and can move quickly and quietly without knocking things over.

Luck: 2- If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

 

[Ryotknife]

str - 5. I help people move heavy items often.

per - 3. Im blind as a bat, and not very observant. Which is why deer are my mortal enemy.

endurance - 4. I get winded running, although i do fine with other cardio exercises

char - 5. Nothing special to look at, but i can be entertaining especially when alcohol is involved.

int - 6. (shrugs) I have always been book smart.

Agi - 6 my reaction speed is pretty good.

luck - 1.5. The only way my luck could be worse was if i was in Syria or Iraq. It is also why i avoid public transport due to my "mishaps" on those trips.

okay, that leaves 9.5 points leftover. Someone can use those.

 

[Cerebrawl]

Str 5: I can do some heavy lifting, but I don't work out much.

Per 6: I'm a perceptive guy and a people watcher, without my glasses though, it's a blur.

Endurance 7: I can take a beating, and I've never broken anything except my nose.

Charisma 5: Decent looker, can be charming, but introverted and with self-image issues.

Intelligence 8: I qualify for mensa.

Agility 6: I used to be much more agile, but I still got good coordination and reflexes.

Luck 3: Yeah this is my real world dumpstat...

 

[sky14kemea]

Strength: 3 - I'm pretty weak physically. Very unfit as well. I plan to work on that when I eventually get the motivation to

Perception: 6 - Not as good as it could be, sometimes I end up too focused on one detail and don't see a lot of the big picture.

Endurance: 6 - I'm surprisingly good at endurance considering my strength. While I can't run for long, I can walk for hours without stopping, and I tend to surprise myself with how I deal with pain in situations like dentist/doctor.

Charisma: 4 - I didn't really count online charisma 'cause everyone can be more confident through text. In real life I'm super awkward. I tend to say strange things at the wrong time, and unless you're already friends with me chances are you'll think I have brain problems.

Intelligence: 7 - While I don't personally agree, I've been told I'm intelligent(?). I just don't apply myself, ever.

Agility: 5 - I'm not speedy but I can be pretty agile when reacting to something. I'm occasionally good at catching falling objects or throwing things to surprise people.

Luck: 9 - Luck seems to fall in my favour a lot of the time. Sometimes I can have amazingly bad luck though, so I suppose it balances out.

 

[JagermanXcell]

Strength 5: I'm pretty average/lean when it comes to being built, but don't expect me to be good at all the heavy lifting without assistance. Otherwise I'm boned.

Perception 6: My ability to pay attention are fair only when I really need it to be. I'm also quite creative in my methods of solving/quick thinking.

Endurance 6: My threshold to most physical and mental situations is fairly nice. Could just be because I'm stubborn as hell.

Charisma 8: I'm generally just a good people person. I let my charm and good looks carry me when it comes to making anyone happy.

Intelligence 4: I think I remember something... and then I do! And then when something that requires some major smarts comes!... I forget.

Agility 7: My reflexes man, sometimes a back flip for fun on a nice day is possible! I can also strike a mean Jojo pose.

Luck 4: Self explanatory. Anyone of my pros can go sour at anytime, best be ready for it when my somewhat bad luck strikes.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Strength - 4

Perception - 5

Endurance - 5

Charisma - 6

Intelligence - 6

Agility - 4

Lucky - 10

Sums it up well - Luck would be my greatest attribute, considering where I am today, the rest is an average body, crap eyesight and a fairly keen mind

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

Strength - 2: I tried to curl 25 pounds last night and barely made it to 10.

Perception - 10: Sometimes my ability to pick up on things in my environment gets me in trouble. It indirectly cost me my last job. I mastered this ability as a child, and not for a happy reason.

Endurance - 1: I can't do much without getting winded. If I sprint 50 feet, I get sick for days. Chalk that up to lung problems caused by 10 childhood years of four-packs-a-day secondhand smoke. My lungs didn't fully develop as a result.

Charisma - 9: Can't help it - I'm an extrovert who attracts attention even when I'm not trying, and I love charming crowds (though the "attracting attention" bit might also be due to my height). Public speaking is fun and I can even do karaoke in public without any alcohol. In groups of children, I'm a magnet. They flock to me and I love it!

Intelligence - 10: Lawdy, I hate to brag about this one since it'll make me look like a stuck-up, egotistical jerk. People often tell me that I'm the smartest person they know because I have SO many facts in my head and can recall them lightning fast. I see something and it just sticks, especially if it's related to music. It's not something I've ever worked on, it just happens. I started reading a few weeks before I turned three years old, and when I had to take an IQ test to get into a gifted school, I scored 192. I skipped two grades (1st and 3rd) and, when I was in second grade at six years old, I read Moby Dick and The Count of Monte Cristo.

Mind you, I don't believe that IQ tests are a valid measure of intelligence because they're culturally biased. EQ (emotional quotient) tests are, I believe, the best measure of human functioning. But based on my IQ, my mom always says I should join MENSA because it would "look good on a resume." No... it looks haughty and pretentious on a resume. I'm not a member of MENSA because why would I want to engage in intellectual dick-waggling?

Agility - 1: As I've said before on these forums, I once broke a car window playing basketball in an indoor gym. lol In my defense, I have bones for 12 toes on each foot, but the extra toe bones run perpendicular to the bones of my regular toes. Therefore, I don't balance on five bones - three toes on both of my feet balance on one bone, and sometimes I fall over when I'm just standing in one place. And for the record, I do only have have five visible toes, so my feet are perfectly normal appearance-wise.

Lucky - 3: The last six years of my life? Complete and utter failure on all accounts. On several occasions I only needed one lucky break, but never got them. Each time I tried to better my life, I wound up in a worse place than when I started. This last time, I finally ended up bankrupt and had to move back in with my parents. For the very first time ever, my best efforts left me with nothing.

------------------------

I've left four points on the table, but I have nowhere to put them with any degree of honesty.

 

[Drakmorg]

Strength - 1
Perception - 1
Endurance - 1
Charisma - 1
Intelligence - 1
Agility - 1
Luck - 8

Luck is at 8 because I was born as a white person in a first world country, so let's just face facts that that's automatically pretty high up on the chart as is. It's only not 10 because I wasn't also born rich, and just don't have much success at anything.
The other 26 points go into the Not Actually Being Good at Anything stat.

 

[karma9308]

I wanted to come in here and post the SPECIAL page from Fallout as a joke as to why I'm special. Then the thread is all about that. Oh well.

Strength- 6 Kinda hard to elaborate on, but I have some strength that comes from nowhere even though I'm pretty much a toothpick.

Perception- 2 Oh was I supposed to pay attention? I was too busy daydreaming.

Endurance - 8 I'm including Mental in this, don't feel like elaborating though.

Charisma - 8 I don't feel like I'm charasmatic but I've been told that I'm really good at giving a speech and someone told me I was a natural born leader. So I jacked this up a bit, then dropped it a couple points because I don't believe any of that.

Intelligence - 9 Don't want to toot my horn so moving on.

Agility - 6 I have good reflexes and used to race a bit.

Luck - 1 Found a dead black cat in my backyard a couple nights ago. No joke. I think that sums this category up.

 

[Zhukov]

Strength - 6
I'm fairly tall, solidly build and grew up out in the bush with lots of fresh air and protein.

Perception - 7
My eyes are good and my ears are crazy good. I'll probably need glasses when I get older though.

Endurance - 6
Large and solid with thick bones and a good immune system.

Charisma - 3
Yeeeaaah. I'm clueless.

Intelligence - 5
Lacking any good evidence one way or the other, I'm playing it safe and saying I'm average.

Agility - 4
Kinda clumsy at the best of times.

Luck - 3
Kinda hard to measure.


Those spare 6 points will have to find a home elsewhere.

PS. I actually enjoy reading people's responses to these threads. Although seeing everyone rate themselves as super intelligent makes me roll my eyes a bit.

 

[Spider RedNight]

I think I've filled out something to this effect before but I've changed since then so I'll do it again~

Strength - 7 - Considering I don't work out, watch what I eat or generally take care of my body at all, I can lift considerable weights and am surprisingly able to stand my ground... physically speaking, that is

Perception - 9 - If nothing else, I counter my sisters lack of paying attention. Also, as an artist, I'm the "perfectionist" type where I like it when ALL the details are accurate.

Endurance - 7 - As with the strength, my levels of tenacity physically are impressive; I learned when I was in the military that I only needed about half as much water as the rest of my flight, especially the ones from up North. I also used to bike so I'm accustomed to going long distances and knowing that "just quitting and driving home" wasn't really an option. How else am I supposed to go hiking for long periods of time?

Charisma - 2 - I'm probably exaggerating and putting this far lower than I should be (and I'm online and everyone knows that it's easier to be "yourself" online) but I'm about as good with people as the average cat is with water. I have problems maintaining eye contact and I vomit words like talking's an illness

Intelligence - 8 - It's the classic "I'm smart, I just don't show it well" story. Ahoy cliche, overused explanation! Fancy seeing you in a post I'm talking in!

Agility - 9 - I take pride in how light on my feet I am; strength and endurance aside, I believe I was built specifically to portray cat-like tendencies. And I love love LOVE to climb. Probably shouldn't, though. Counters were not made for people.

Luck - 4 - I just consider that I'm not dead yet or else this stat would be at a solid ZERO.

I had to re-allocate my points like so many times because I ended up so short - I have far too little confidence to actually put much faith into what I honestly think about myself orz

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Strength- 5: I'm average. I can't lift too much, but I can get by using the wonders of leverage!

Perception- 9: I'm pretty good at reading people, and reading the area around me. It's kind of required for what I do, but I kind of need to know things before they happen. The wonders of working live.

Endurance- 7: While I can go for the long haul in terms of walking and jogging, I can't really run that far without killing myself. I can take pain pretty well though. This all might be because I'm one stubborn bastard.

Intelligence- 8: I really don't like to brag about this. I will just say I do read a lot, and understand a lot. Also, I'm just going by what people tell me.

Charisma- 3: HA! I'm one socially awkward mofo. I can joke my way out of some things, but that's about it.

Agility- 3: My ankles are crap, so I can't move too quickly depending on if one of my ankles decides to be an ass that day. I am pretty quick with some things though, but not really so much without paying for it later.

Luck- 4: As of late? Not so much. Granted, I do get my day in shade, but those are pretty few and far between.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let see-

Strength 5. Out of the two other male co workers I worked with, I probably the weakest out of the three but the other staff do count on me to do the heavy work when the other two ain't around.

Perception 8. I tend to notice something that others miss the first time round and I do model painting and making so paying attention to details is vital.

Endurance 6. I need no energy drink to keep me going!

Charisma 4. I'm not the most socialable guy and I can make small talks with customer at best but it's not as social as some other staff talked to the customers.

Intelligence 5. I'm not the brightest nor am I the dumbest.

Agility 5. I may stuggle in a tight spot but I won't knock anything over well most of the time!

Luck 5. I leave that to RNG (random number generator).

 

[Auron225]

Strength - 3 (Yeah, Doughy Baby sums it up nicely)

Perception - 9 (I don't have a good example for this on the fly but I do think of myself as perceptive)

Endurance - 2 (I am hilariously unfit)

Charisma - 5 (Not a whole lot to say on this one)

Intelligence - 8 (Aside from Perception, it's all I can count on)

Agility - 5 (I'm not a klutz but I'm not the most graceful either)

Luck - 8 (I have been very fortunate in many ways)

 

[Eddie the head]

I tend not to rely on self reporting as I find it horrendously inaccurate. And more about pushing what you want to be rather then what you are.

I'm just going with 5's. Anyway I think it's far better to be praised for what you accomplished rather then who you "are."

 

[Kingjackl]

Oh, this going to be a sad nerdy affair.

Strength: 4. I'm relatively weak for a 20 year old man, but that still makes me stronger than a lot of people.
Perception: 3 (+2 bonus for glasses). Aside from needing glasses, my hearing is clapped from years of iPod abuse and I have difficulty paying attention.
Endurance: 4. I do a lot of walking and can persevere through basic physical chores. Anything above that makes me puff.
Charisma : 6. I'm told I have a good speaking voice, an okay sense of humour and can bluff my way through social situations when need be. I just have difficulty getting to those situations due to being shy and reserved.
Intelligence: 7. Not genius level (I study Journalism lol), but I consider myself to be of above average intellect.
Agility: 3. Fat lol.
Luck 9. Here's the dump stat. Aside from the whole white male privilege thing (which should be taken with a grain of salt given that it ignores numerous other factors about a person's life) I tend to have quite good luck in general. I failed my driving test twice due to the aforementioned lack of perceptiveness (bloody pedestrians), so on the third go fate granted me a different instructor who didn't give a shit and gave me an easier route.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Why not
With only these definitions it can be a bit hard to determine what exactly each stat refers to

Strength ~ 5 : I have been nerding it up a lot since the internet became useful, though i recently started workin as a carpenter and i bought a dumbbell

Perception ~ 8 : I can see everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrAoT-SixvI
It is really quite annoying

Endurance ~ 3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTNjmKZ9t3E

Charisma ~ 9 : I was an ugly baby

Intelligentia ~ 7 : I figured out two genious ways to use my kitchen yesterday, though if this includes willpower i might deduct a point or two

Agility ~ 8 : I am quite good at catching my knives

Luck ~ 2 : I think i seriously cursed myself when i was five

 

[Me55enger]

Strength - 5. I spent 10 years in the dairy industry. I can haul a half-ton cows around for days. But now that I'm out? Nah.

Perception - 6. Have glasses, but am observant. I'm told I'm good at reading people.

Endurance - 5. Can't go the distance eventually.

Charisma - 6. Only because the fact I have had a girlfriend proves someone finds me attractive.

Intelligence - 6. I have adegree. Apparently that's good.

Agility - 7. I'm overweight, but am crunk at archery, which is why I'm calling 7.

Luck - 4.67

 

[theevilgenius60]

Strength- 8. Was a college football player and I retain a bit if that
Perception- 7. Very good spatial awareness. ADD does me no favors, but I overcome it as I can
Endurance- 3. Yeah, I'm out of shape as can be. The only thing that keeps me from falling over is these great lungs I was born with.
Charisma- 10. Yeah, if I wasn't moral I could be a top notch con artist
Intelligence- 9. Good at solving problems and did very well in school, part of that may have been me just being good at tests, but whatever
Agility- 4. Never was too fast over distances but could move well within a short range. Now? Don't make me laugh.
Luck- 2(was closer to 9 a few years ago). Yeah, if things go my way, you can bet your entire paycheck that I've worked and set it up to where it could go no other way. Chance doesn't favor me anymore.
Overrate myself? Who, me?

 

[SadisticFire]

Strength: 2 with NERD RAGE!
Perception: 4 or 5
Endurance 7-8 I can take a lot, but not really give out..
Charisma ?? I don't know, I don't go outside.
Intelligence 5 I'm not that smart
Agility 5 I can bend my leg over 180, is that worth anything
Luck 2, up until something is about to kill me, then it's 10.
