Telepathy Though he often looks like he's chatting on the phone or using an ear-bud (and the motion is common to all of them, as you can see from their pictures...) Marshal is actually just a telepath with a very good range and a strong depth to the information he can detect or convey. He has been known to ‘ping' another telepath at the edge of his limits around 50 miles away, but also to converse to a hundred kids at once while ‘speaking' in Speakers Square. He can single out one mind from a large group, ‘whispering' to them, or even stealing secret thoughts from even well-protected minds. Though he can't read minds like Lane's or Paxton's, they find his own mind to be very strongly constructed and he can resist their invasive digging (to a degree). If you need something quickly understood, he's your guy, he can blurt out things to any available biological mind and...

Talk To Machines/Electronics Also to technological ones! His power to commune with things that have minds doesn't stop with them being encased in brains. He can easily tell a computer from a stopwatch, but they both would eagerly ‘tell' him things. He can read data and even dead hard drives, and seems to be able to sweet-talk broken devices into telling him just what their problem is in order to fix them up. Marshal can sense devices that have actual ‘thinking' going on with the same distance and intensity as his biological telepathy. Those that do not have artificial intelligence, however, he has to be around 20 meters or closer, to really ‘read' them. He must be touching a device or computer to actively force his will on them, but he definitely can do so, writing data and turning machinery on and off without needing to flip switches or type

*Grease Monkey This might be an extension of his command over such machines, but he intimately understands machinery and devices without having to read the manuals. Anything from cars to space stations, gears and hinges - if it's mechanical he can fix it or break it. While he can coax diagnostics out of a modern vehicle's onboard computer chip, things without such digital components must be fiddled with manually, and he does that amazingly well. This power includes 3 points in his engineering cluster, as a ‘freebie' skill set

Effective Engineering +5* It's not just a power, it's a way of life for Marshal. He's always considering just how to implement something, always looking for the right tool for a job, and thinking of a bigger-picture for what happens with his constructed or repaired items once he is finished building them. He wants to branch out into civil engineering and large scale industrial work, in addition to his little fiddly computer projects or small devices as gifts - and he'll be able to do all of that with ease!

Surprisingly Softhearted +3 Of this group, Marshal is good with people to a very strong degree, enough that even Marcus comes to him when he needs relationship or friendship advice. Because he can reach into minds and clearly see emotions and thoughts, he has had to develop ways to get around anxieties, fears, or bad memories, and as such thinks hard about how to converse with someone in need. He is not a pushover, but he is empathic enough that he can't help but want to console or encourage those folks with emotional or mental trauma. He knows he can't just ‘fix' people the way he does a machine, but with the right tools, even that's within his grasp; that said he's unlikely to pursue a proper psychology degree, but he has been told by Mandragora that his work with her augmentations combined with this interest in emotional stability might make him an ideal therapist for folks requiring replacement parts!

Color Coordination +3 Even if the machines he builds or computers he talks to can seem cold or ‘just' devices, he will always be able to spice up their appearances, and his own, or the spaces that they are working in, with his own bit of flair. Whether that means a shiny new chrome frame for someone's photo, or the right color on the HEV suit to match the personality of its user, he's got a sort of interior-decorator's style sense, and isn't afraid to use it

The Right Man In The Right Place +2 He knows where to be, and when to be there, it's almost like clockwork! He is precise and prompt, though also a little on the stiff side in terms of flexibility, if you need to cancel a meeting you'd best tell him as soon as possible because he will show up right on time until told not to

Doesn't Need A Hair Net Thanks +2 he's got the longest hair, and the most stylish look, but still doesn't have a problem getting any of it tangled up in machinery while he's working. In fact it doesn't even get dirty. None of him gets dirty. He and Reiko are definitely a matched pair for this!
