Background

What God Has Touched

Deep south. Butte La Rose or also Butte A La Rose. Where you sit on your porch and rock in your chair at night, listening to the various night creatures sing, move, hunt and live. Deep south, where crayfish boils, alligator etouffe and drawled out words are the norm. Deep south where Baptism is strong and if one can give the gift of sight, turn the blind into seeing, the crippled into walking, heal a wound with only the laying on of hands, it's a precious gift, a commodity that is fiercely guarded.

Abigail Beauchamp was such a commodity. Raised in the deep south, Louisiana is her home. Where you keep a shotgun near the front door and occasionally you might get a gator that goes walking across your lawn. Where the local church is small, everyone knows everyone's business, and if you miss a day of church, well, they come looking. Going since the week after she was born, Abigail looked, walked, talked, acted no different than anyone else in that town. Who could know that deep within the young woman as she grew from precocious and perky blonde toddler to young woman, that her genetics, or the mutation in it, would play a big part in her future. Puberty brought big changes to the Beauchamp household. Like a switch just turned on. A bird with a broken wing within the small town where the Wal mart that's open all day and night is the hangout. One minute it's fighting being picked up, and a few minutes later, the wing was slowly moving back into place, bone mending, muscles repairing and soon taking flight back to the sky and whence it came. All before her eyes. By sheer luck it wasn't seen by her parents but with such occurrences happening frequently within the house like her mother's cut on her hand from cooking healing a little more faster than it should have taken, it was only time before they began to have an inkling of something different with their daughter.

A blessing from God! The were wary at first. Maybe she was lying to get attention? Providence took over, and while splitting wood for their stove, stocking up for the winter, the axe slipped and sliced into her fathers leg. All was forgotten about what their only daughter could do, father yelling and pale, mother running for the phone and the ambulance. Abigail though, strode forward and held her father tight, hands placed over the wound and while she hummed a little psalm, what happened with the bird, happened to her father. Of course the Ambulance came, but left soon after when it was apparent that there was no injury. The Beauchamp family was quick to cover everything up for now. Unsure of whether to reveal this blessing, or to keep it quiet for the moment. Time, they though, would give the answer. And prayer.

And keep it quiet they did, for quite a period of time. If a member of their congregation was sick, they would visit and if it was coincidence that the person was feeling better by the end of the visit, well, it was just that. Their fear for the invasion of their privacy and the fear that someone might mistake the gift as something other than the gift kept them as a whole keeping the gift under wraps. This led to a very sheltered young teenager even more so than being in the boonies of Louisiana. Katrina would change all that. No evacuation for them, they would find that they could weather it well enough. The aftermath though. Theirs was a charitable family, and it wouldn't do good to not go do what they were capable of doing, of lending help when so many were in need. Into the area they went, to New Orleans to lend aide where they could, pass out water, blankets, supplies, the whole of her church who were able. Again there, she put her gift to work, discreetly. Most thought she was just comforting them, holding hands, singing psalms or just praying quietly with them all the while ailing what ill's there were. Thank god that her gift of healing was not something fast but gradual. Some thought it was odd at how good they felt, rested and refreshed once she left, but to the best of their knowledge, it was just the good spirits of those about her and them. nearly a month they stayed there, helping, working. The upside to being home schooled is that your education can be done anywhere. So loathed were her parents to let her be amoung those who might discover.

More time passed, life settled into it's sedate and steady pace till the day of the explosion in New York. A devastating occurrence and much like Katrina, something that the Beauchamp family could not walk away from. But, not something they could just go to. This wasn't something local, this was at the north end of the country. There was debate and fights within the family and one morning they woke up to find Abigail gone. Seventeen and she was gone, hightailed it to, they suspected, to the source of devastation.

Indeed, she had gone there, enough money saved to get her on a bus headed up there, or as close as she could and hitching the rest of the way. The need to do something, anything, other than sitting there and watching people hurt when she could take the hurt away. Which she did. Discreetly, carefully. No parents to distract people, just herself this time, she had to carefully pick and choose, when she managed to volunteer to help with the various aide agency's.

And in New York is where she's been for the last few years. She managed to find a job waitressing, a rundown little apartment in a not so nice area. With the exposing of the evolved, and the bill passed, Abigail was one of the evolved who opted to hide what she could do. Not for fear of persecution, but for fear that her life would not be her own. That her gift would condemn her to a life of constantly being brought before people, and used. The loss of free will. So she hides her gift, careful to not touch people and if she does, not for too long. She's accepted who she is, the seemingly shy southern young woman, a waitress in a small corner restaurant, with a little secret, that some day, won't be so secret.

Neither Here Nor There

Her gift didn't remain too much a secret too long. A few people catching on to the quick healing of wounds, hand massages that made you feel better than ever before and outright witnessing of miracles of the divine variety - Or even evolved variety - brought her to the attentions of people both good and bad. She briefly flirted with membership in Phoenix but her refusal to limit who she healed made it clear that she needed to leave lest she bring trouble down around their necks.

She became known as the red cross of New York in certain circles. If you were hurt, you could go to her. No person was turned away. It made her a target for less than kind and unsavory characters. She also became a target for getting information out of seeing as she tended to not lie. Sylar tried a few times to get a crack at her ability to heal - can you blame him? - and eventually there was an agreement made during a week of amnesty that he would be welcome to take it, when the time was right. She somewhere along the way ended up registering too after healing the wrong person at the wrong time.

She picked up more than a few good friends along the way and a new job working in a bar. Events passed that culminated in the participation of the events surrounding the destruction of the Vernaza-Narrows bridge and the fulfillment of a promise made many years ago by someone else. This lead to questioning by Homelands Security but not incarceration. The upside to telling the truth, albeit with pointed questions that skirted around some things.

Not long after, unsavory types working on information passed to them by some cops about her whereabouts and her ability that landed her in Staten Island, kidnapped and healing fighters in an underground evolved fight ring. Unmentionable things were down, but the same people who owed her for her help in their times of need, stepped up and she along with others were released from their captivity.

She lives a more not so naive life these days, accepting help a little more readily when she needs it. A run in with Tyler case while behind the bar has lead to drastic life changes for the blonde, a brief brush with blue hair and learning that maybe, perhaps, she really was God's special snowflake when the loss of her ability seems to have become permanent and that she is unposessing of the Suresh Linkage Complex. The gene that makes an evolved, evolved. Abby is also learning to live life as a not so gifted person, get herself unregistered and discover that she's more than just a healing ability. She's a real person.

Lost And Forgotten

At the age of five, fate, divine providence or just plain luck/ill luck brought Abigail into the proximity of an badly injured man who was being hunted by another man that she would come to meet in the future. Sure of his fate and upon the prediction of another person that she would know further down the road, Francois Allègre who also went by the name of Francois Allen transferred the ability to heal to the young girl when she stumbled across him during one of her many ventures away from the backyard of the little white house in the woods. The same as had been done to him so many years ago by a soldier. She unwittingly became a player in a battle that had been going on for years that would ultimately lead to a clash between good and evil, right and wrong in which good prevailed and evil vanquished.

She doesn't remember this man who changed her life at so young an age and saved her from certain death by telling her to run, and condemned her to take the life a man in the future and to her own life of longevity. She only remembers a snippet of the song he sang and even that is attributed to her mother and not him. How much of her being and demeanor is influenced by him and his ability is unknown, but she fulfilled the communal destiny that those who possessed this particular brand of healing were tasked with and eliminated Kazimir Volken from the face of the earth. Only time will tell now that the job is done and the gift has been passed on, albeit prematurely.

Psych Profile

Evolved Ability

Abigail Beauchamp possesses the ability of Fire Mimicry, allowing her to transform her body into a semi-solid form of living flame. Transforming from a physical human form and that of living fire requires reflexive conscious action of Abby's part, meaning that she can both consciously will herself to transform (a process that is near instantaneous) or her body can reflexively transform her into fire as a reaction to outside stimuli such as intense pain or heightened emotions. A raise in body temperature can also instigate the transformation process.

During the transformation process, Abigail's body-temperature drastically rises in the period of five seconds, jumping from her average core temperature (roughly 36 degrees) to a scorching 500 degrees. As her body temperature rises, Abigail begins to emit heat from herself out to a range of five feet prior to combustion. During this time her clothing smolders and then ultimately catches fire and is burned off of her body. When combustion occurs, Abigail's external temperature reaches 525 C and generates an explosive combustion in a five foot radius around her body that quickly burns out as she converts her physical form into an immaterial form of living flames.

When in fire form, Abby is wholly incorporeal though maintains a roughly humanoid form and volume. The core of her flaming body retains the same feminine silhouette, and her face is still recognizable behind the roaring flames, though the silhouette of her body within the flames has the appearance of the surface of the sun, with hotter and colder spots swirling light and dark and flares leaping off and away from herself.

In this immaterial form she is able to pass through spaces that fire is capable of entering (through windows or up chimneys but not through small cracks). However despite her immaterial form, Abby is still bound by gravity. The flame of her fire form is produces spontaneously in the area where her physical body would appear, in so much that she is constantly generating fire to sustain herself without need for fuel. Her flame form is weightless and its inert state causes Abigail to hang motionlessly in the air or at the whim of whatever natural wind is present. However by directing the flames of her body in conscious effort in one direction, Abigail can effectively float with the same effort a normal person can walk. Her speed while floating is typically a slow and haunting ghost-like pace that drifts and bobs through the air, guttering like a candle in the wind. At higher burning temperatures, she is able to move faster though for considerably shorter periods of time.

Once in her flame form, Abigail is only able to sustain herself for thirty minutes at a time before needing to revert back to her material form. For every minute that Abigail maintains her flame form, she must spend twice as long recuperating before being able to transform again. Therefore, if Abby was in her flame form for a full thirty minutes, she must spend one full hour resting before she is able to transform again. Burning at higher temperatures is considered more strenuous on Abby, and therefore counts as longer periods of time. One minute at a range of 1000-1200 degrees is as if spending two minutes in her default temperature, while one minute at 1300+ is as if spending three minutes in her default temperature.

Natural fire interacts with Abby in a unique fashion. She is unable to control fire that is not a part of her body, so a fire started by her presence is unable to be controlled or stopped by her power. Due to her state as living flame, she is also incapable of being harmed by fire or any form of heat. However, the presence of fire can prolong how long Abigail may remain in her incendiary form. While transformed, if Abigail finds herself a source of open flame of comparable temperature to her operating temperature (default between 525-1000 degrees) she may utilize the life of that fire to sustain her form. So at 525 to 1000 degrees, if Abigail could find a fire large enough to immerse herself in (like a large fireplace) she could remain in her flame form for as long as the fire remained burning without it counting against how long she may sustain herself. However, that extended duration still counts against how long she must "recharge" for once she does return to her biological form.

By focusing her ability, Abby is able to increase the temperature she burns at. Her default flame is a rich red coloration and burns anywhere between 525 degrees to 1000 degrees. With concentration Abby is able to accelerate her heat to a potent 1000-2000 degrees which burns a bright orange, or at the upper end of her ability spectrum 1300-1500 degrees which burns a pure white color.

Under the effects of an ability augmentor, Abby is able to either sustain her form for a longer period of time (double what she normally can) or also attain higher degrees of temperature. Augmented by someone with a power similar to Gillian's (which doubles ability output) Abby could reach temperatures of up to 3,000 degrees, comparable to an oxyacetylene torch which burns a vibrant blue-white coloration.

While Abby is considerably difficult to harm in her flame form, she has a similar limitations to that of a mundane flame. Her ability to become and produce fire is comparable to the oxygen in her environment. In a sealed, air-tight space, Abby is able to quickly burn up the available oxygen. If there is no available oxygen in a room to burn, Abby immediate reverts to her normal human form and begins to suffocate. Also, Abby is vulnerable to water which causes her the same discomfort and pain that an open flame causes to a normal human. An average rainstorm is considerably painful for Abby to be exposed to, while complete immersion in water forces her immediately out of her flame form and causes such a significant shock to her system that she could die. Other substances such as flame-retardant foam can likewise suffocate Abby and prevent her from igniting, though since she does not require fuel aside from oxygen to burn, temperature is not an obstacle, and direct contact with substances like ice and snow can be avoided simply by radiating heat outwards to melt the substances.

Due to her composition as living flame, Abigail emits heat like a standard fire. She radiates a comfortable level of heat outward from her body at lower temperatures (like a hearth fire) but her vertical heat is comparable to direct flame contact. Double Abigail's normal height over her body is extremely hot, meaning igniting herself indoors with a low enough ceiling can almost immediately start a house fire.

All numbers are in Celsius.

• She is unable to speak so far, while in her ignited form.
• Vision while a living flame is thermal.

(Ability of old!)

Oh Darn!

As of May 24th, 2009 Abigail lost her ability to touch heal when Tyler case switched it to Deckard but managed to not give Flint's ability to her. As of that time, she has not regained her ability. As of IC knowledge, it is has became known that she is not evolved and apparently never really was. Theories abound that she was a pinehearst formula baby, that she possessed a 'life Kami" or a healing spirit inside her, or that Tyler Case just futzed with her genetics.

Abigail believes firmly, with very little doubt that she was really a GSS. God's Special Snowflake.

The Details

Abigail's evolved ability is heal through express intent/concentration through physical contact with another person or animal. Be it a congenital defect that a person is born with, wounds received from an accident or even disease that come along at some point during a persons life, even the common cold, Abby's innate gift allows her to cure all that over a short, medium, or long period of time depending upon how much effort or the severity if the wound in question. Blood borne diseases, injuries, calamities are ineffective to her gift. To this degree she can also regenerate lost limbs and other extremities, though it takes a great deal more time than just sealing up a gash. She generally uses her hands, but on occasion will use other places on her body when warranted, or unable to use her hands.

This comes at great personal cost as her own energy is consumed in the process and can leave her drained, unconscious or merely exhausted. While the healing starts out at set rate, through concentration she can increase the flow and thereby, increase the speed. The harder she pushes though, the quicker she'll feel the consumption of energy. This is offset to a degree by replacing energy lost with adequate substitutes but at some point, even those can't replace what's needed. She channels her ability, through of all things, prayer and singing's of psalms. She doesn't need to do this to make it work, but it's a mental block that has been conditioned over the years due to her upbringing. It's not a somatic component so much as mental, as she doesn't need to speak it aloud, can recite it in her head.

Breaking her concentration, breaking contact with the person, interrupts the healing and ceases it completely.

With Regards To Self

Unlike some other individuals with her evolved ability, Abigail has the ability to heal herself. No need to touch the afflicted part, since she herself is the injured party. It just requires the same concentration and prayer. The same rules as to healing others though, save for needing to touch, apply.

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away

Family

Dean Beauchamp is like his daughter in some ways. A god fearing family man. A millworker in Louisiana, he firmly believes in earning what you're given. You don't take charity, and if you do, you make sure to pay it back the first moment that you can. He's no stranger to hard work and it's early to rise and early to bed for them. You say your prayers at meals, church and before you go to bed and you thank the Lord for all that you have. He may not like that his daughter is so far away, but he's proud that she's doing what her heart and what God is calling her to do. her friends may be a big questionable but, this too shall pass. By far, she is more closer to him, than her mother and tells him things that she can't tell her. Important Scenes: The Parental Gauntlet, God Has Plans and A Red With A Grudge Music: My Fault. Your Mistake - Lex Land

Doreen Beauchamp If you want to see what Abigail will eventually be, look no further than her mother. A strong southern woman who works from the home and takes care of her family. God fearing as well, and strong in will, she is the stereotypical southern baptist woman who like to snap her pea's out on the front porch with a cup of sweet tea. She more than Dean doesn't care that her daughter is so far up north and away from them and looks forward to the calls home more than she lets on. She's a firm believer that Abigail's place is here at home with a good church boy and that some day, she'll get some sense into her. For now, she'll wait for every phone call. Important Scenes: The Parental Gauntlet, Ladybugs And Ice Cream Portrayed By: Portrayed by Kira Sedgewick

Robert Caliban is tall, blonde and British. The metropolitan Ken to her backwoods Barbie and twice her age more than likely. PR rep for the Linderman Group. He came into her life when she'd been outed to the world as a healer and let things get a bit personal instead of observing from afar. He's extended the umbrella of protection afforded to some by the Linderman Group, came when she called and on one occasion even smuggled weapons into Russia after a phone call. One person out of a handful that she has been willing to trade her life for and trusts implicitly. She discovered he was evolved when he came down and around with the H5N10, and he in turn discovered her re-altered genetic status in a volatile way that left things a little up in the air between them for a period of time. His attempts to show her his circle in society and share the things that he enjoys with her have left her at times feeling like she has no business dipping her toes in it and like her own place in life doesn't quite satisfy him but still plunges forth to find the middle ground in mutual assured happiness. They married, September 23rd, 2010 and she took his name after a night in the hospital and revealed fears. She's separated from him right now (not in the divorce sense), urged to run by him so that she won't disappear with the promise that when it's safe, he'll return for her.

Heart

Teodoro Laudani is a constant in her life, even if more often than not he's absent, kidnapped, romancing Francois, saving the world and gracing everyone with Italian endearments. He is singular and adored, her Teodoro even though he's many others Teodoro. They have been a great many things to one another. Lovers in the future that's been killed in it's tracks, roommates in the past. Each others guardian and guardian angel and wading into the wilds of the world for each other. All because of a solitary cup of coffee on a cold fall day. A rift may or may not have developed over a single Frenchman near and dear to both their hearts and a lie perpetrated out of disgust and left bitter tastes in mouths. She owes her life many times over to him and vice versa and whatever may come and pass, beneath it all, he is the reason she learned Italian and the reason that every night when she prays before going to sleep, she asks for God to watch over her Italian Stallion and ensure his continued safety of body and heart.

Francois Allegre is a temporally adrift Frenchman who gave her an ability when she was five in an effort to ensure that a legacy carried on as was foretold. Five minutes later she returned with pink hair and boobs, from fifteen years in the future with friends to ensure that his actual legacy stayed alive. She loves him far more than a friend, nearly as much as she loves her husband if only in a different way. She probably takes him for granted too much and his affection for Teo post-Russia had sometimes made a jealousy rise in her for a while, born of a desire to have someone look at her like he does Teodoro. Something that lessened with time/their obvious happiness and finding someone of her own to love and look at the same way. In short time that she's known him, he has had the quickest and direct line to her heart and a kindredness that flows constant. Not many others have gone through what they have and she would give her life to ensure that his own carried on. But he's disappeared, hauled away by Hiro for some reason and his absence is noted and his return prayed for.

Trusted

If ever she can have faith in something about him, it's Flint's steadfast belief that she's crazy and that he'll consistently be there in some way to save her. He has every time so far. At one time, they had something. A strange and fucked up tangle of emotions called lust, love, jealousy and desire. They fought like cats and dogs, and in private he would show an honerable and gentle side of him that no one else ever really saw. The tally count between them for saving each others lives is high. It ended with a sentence that started with "If you love me…" a last kiss in a desert, a pulled trigger and a smashed teapot. Perhaps the best and the worst thing that could have happened between them was the Healing ability that was so abruptly ripped from here and thrust into him. She doesn't know that his mind has been turning into a pea soup fog regarding what happened between them, and the gold band on her wedding finger has placed a wider rift between than even Hokuto's death managed to do.

Eileen is a former member of the Vanguard, avian telepath and a someone with whome ABigail treats carefully at times. Sure, Abby killed her surrogate father, but she's also saved the woman's life and healed her on a few occasions and she was one of the ones that helped to strike a deal for the blonde during her captivity. A never ending tally of debts owed by either side between them. She's a strange bird - pun intended - and Abigail's has been more than willing to help her when she needs it. How the other woman thinks about her, she doesn't know but think perhaps that feelings may be one of respect. At the least even of late. She gave her the gift of a cane, once owned by Kazimir, the only thing she has linking herself to a man she considered like a father.

Of all the people in the city of New York, one would think that odds of getting a paramedic for a partner that you know would be very slim odds. But when you believe that things happen for a reason, maybe there is a reason for this. Peteris the supposed leader of Messiah. Though they've met only once previous when he was in possession of Kazimir's ability, she's been cleaning up a few of his messes in the past. They're meshed well as partners in the rig, even after a spin out into a snowbank that left them cold and talking about pressures, attempts at normal lives and saving people in various ways. On their first day, he found out that she's a mental chatterbox - Matt could have told him that. He didn't approve of her taking the formula and teases her about becoming "Brundle fly". He's moved in with her to help keep an eye on her during the night till she can get a good grasp on her ability and surprisingly, the two made very good roommates, no matter how temporary it was and good friends.

Pastor Sumter formerly of the guiding light. What to say of a man with a direct line to god for his ability? He's a man with a good heart, that has been tested and tried and not found wanting, at least not in Abigail's eyes. Compassionate and understanding and endured much in his time in New York. There is a subtle give and take, no chance to one up ones relationship with god between these two. He'll be there, if she needs to talk, she'll be there if he needs it and he seems to have no qualms about laying things out and his opinion on things if need be. His faith seems to be on the mend, even if slowly and Abigail has faith, he will find his way back completely. Important Scenes: Music: Faith Enough - Jars of Clay

Cardinal, who's ability lends him to become shadow at a moments notice, he has of late been another constant in her life. A (self proclaimed) not nice guy, he's a criminal with a good intentions when in private. She came across him in the basement of the Happy Dagger, he came in with Deckard and stuck around to check in on her and keep her spirits up as much as he could make them. He has a christian upbringing in common with her and a few friends but that's about it. His Grey morals don't detract from who he is in her eyes and she secretly calls him Lassie since he's always fetching, or relaying bad news. He can always make her smile when she see's the addition of a bird to her own personal shadow or when his number appears on her cellphone. He perished in Antarctica when he pulled a nuclear bomb into the shadow and saved the world but resurfaced. A gamble taken to save his life failed to produce the healing that he needed, but a back up plan was successful and he is once more hale, hearty and wreaking havoc across the city and working to ensure some sort of future, but who knows what the cost.

Huruma is an empath of considerable talent, a mother and a grandmother she's discovered of late, and a very scary guardian. She's a fearful woman if you get on the wrong end of her, and there's surprising tenderness in Huruma as well if you're on the good side of her. Though she has ties to Adam, Danko, Messiah, and Abigail knows that Huruma has side… hobbies that are less than socially acceptable and somewhat freak her out - really, how can cannibalism be socially acceptable - She's willing to overlook it as she is with other people and their past. And unofficial cub to the lioness so to speak and another person who has put their life on the line for the former healer a time or two. Babies seem to scare the woman shitless.

Never read a book by it's cover, especially if it's Melissa . One could have thought that from the first meet in the bar when Abigail stated that corsets were not outer wear, that the two would not get along. But she's Ferry, has a passion for movies and a desire to share them with Abigail who's pretty ignorant of a good deal of what's available. The two have gotten along, corsets are still considered outer garments but who is Abigail to tell Melissa what and how to wear anything. She's enduring heartache at the hand of Abby's partner which has prompted the blonde in a painkiller haze to advocate drinking till she's numb. Important Scenes: Music:

Logan makes her go >:( very often. Very. Often. No little wonder considering their background that involved a locked room in a brothel basement, a carved spork and mutual attempted removal of different body parts. She has about as much love and respect for him as he likely does for her and the two of them in the same room is bound to lead to her getting riled up and lashing out in some form. Her husband however, is his boss and this means that they have sometimes met through him. Important Scenes: When Fear Compels Us, Interesting Night, and Children and Their Dolls. Music:

Logic dictates that one shouldn't trust Homeland Security. But Abigail trusts at least one person in it. They share a common implicit belief that sometimes you have to do what's right, not what's fair, because it's right. She saved him after an assassination attempt on the president elect, and Matthew Parkman kept her out of Moab when he came to the bar after the events of January. He's a good man, who believes in a world that he's trying to help with his hands tied behind his back and some day people will see that. Till then, she'll have his back. He was one of the few who contacted her while she was held, and his intermittent presence helped to carry her through her time of Staten Island. His dark hair has gone grey, prematurely and his rise to a directors position within Homesec brings with it a worry that he's being spread too thin and a loathing to ask for his help when she needs it. For all that he's reviled by many, he really is a good man. Important Scenes: Licking the Wound, To Do What's Right, The Orchid and the Wolf and Abby's Choice. Music:

Skills

EMT

Through studies at Columbia and LaGuardia Community college, Abigail's completed her EMT basic program. Much more than simple first aid, she can ride in am ambulance, assist a qualified paramedic, intubate, stabilize and provide the basics of emergency medical care till a paramedic arrives or until a patient can be transported to a hospital. This includes intubation, stabilization, starting IV lines and dispensing medications previously prescribed, or dictated to her by a paramedic or higher and evaluating/triaging patients.

Note: LaGuardia teaches a 4 month course, that is called EMT- Basic which is what Abby's been doing IC (Taking into account time in Russia as well). It appears to teach everything that one would learn from basic to intermediate and you have to spend 10 hours in a hospital or an ambulance to graduate, and approx 100+ hours of training/schooling. After 6 months post graduation, you can then start education to become a Paramedic. Every year, will require a refresher to keep up to date on skills and testing. Basically is that while working, she's Peter's/paramedic's lackey and doing what instructed, driving the ambulance. I've gone the middle ground between basic and intermediate because of how vague it's listed on the school website, but have access to the state curriculum for basic/intermediate. It just varies from school to school how the courses are offered.

She knows a bit more because of Megan and her time patching folks up with ferryman lately, but that's moot until she takes her paramedic course and will not be trying to stitch people up or other more advanced things while on the job. Not when she's not cleared/certified to legally do so.

Language

Abigail can handle basic Italian (albeit, she's got a horrid accent that will make anyone who can speak it, wince) and carry on a conversation with only some difficulty and if the person doesn't talk too fast. She's still working towards becoming better, but at least should she visit Italy ever, she won't have to carry around a translation book or stare at people dumbfounded. Further studying and harassing of Teo IC will only improve this.

Firearms

Abby can manage to wield shotguns of varying types with relatively good proficiency if the situation calls for it. Dissembling, cleaning, storage and most all rudimentary skills that come with such. She can hold a handgun and point it, aiming is questionable and don't ask her to clean it or take it apart (the ones that you can) or she'll raise her brow. Nor will she actively carry one, and avoid when possible.

Waitressing

Enough said. She can balance plates, good memory short and long term for faces, orders and people, quick on her feet and pretty agile.

Survival

She can hunt, pitch a tent, start a fire, all the things one would need to know when out in the deep woods. She can live for a short amount of time ( a week or so) on her own, out in the woods with minimal supplies and a gun, longer is properly supplied and ample wildlife and water source. This applies to both temperate and cool climates.

Biblethumping

She a deeply religious girl and knows her bible cover to cover when it's called for, chapter and verse. Can wield it too, Logan can attest.
