BASICS[/color]
the weaknesses are the what bring people down. Their usually simple things, like boys or chocolate. Even shoes, cars, ect. Only on the supernatural their different. It's what bring the being down. Sickness, depression, or even fears or phobias. The weaknesses for those with passive powers are going to passive and with those with physical powers, physical.
PASSIVE WEAKNESSES
PHOBIAS - An intense, crippling fear of something which you are incapable of facing, most phobia's are simple like frogs, snakes, spiders, heights or even death, but other are more complex or even strange; bunnies, teddy bears, horses, even flying. Most phobias can be over come after time, but others stay with you forever.
DEPRESSION - Depression is something that most people face in their lifetime, when it come to those of supernatural ability it is slightly different, their depression makes their powers uncontrollable, and they could get even jumpy activating their powers when unwanted causing people to get hurt.
LOVE - Love, every person has at least one person in their lives that they love more then anything in the world. Weather it be someone of the same sex or the opposite sex, Love is a weakness in every person, even super humans. Love is what makes the world go 'round.
OBSESSIVE COMPULSION DISORDER - There are few who have this disorder. It's something that makes you need to do something either constantly or even make you have something to need to do every time before you leave the house just so that you know that everything will be OK and if you didn't then you think something bad would happen to you.
BI-POLAR DISORDER - Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of "normal" mood, but in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, known as rapid cycling.
ATTENTION-DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER - This disorder is quite different from others. It's basically where you can't focus on one thing for to long, you're fidgety, you can't exactly sit still, and you're restless practically all the time. Most of the supernaturally inclined who have ADHD can't get a handle on their powers until their late teens or even their late 30's, because they can't seem to pay enough attention or have enough patience to learn.
PHYSICAL WEAKNESSES
SICKNESS/ILLNESS - OK, sickness. Who hasn't ever dealt with that in their lives? It a normal part of lief even for those with supernatural powers. Sicknesses are usually caused by germs; everyone knows that, and though the cause of the sickness is usually the same with the supernatural you must be careful on how you try and treat it, as it may harm their gifts.
PHYSICAL DEFECTS - not everyone has a physical defect, well not a major one anyone like cleft lip or something like that, but they could also be minor like a large mole or scar. Most may think that these aren't exactly weaknesses especially for the super powered, but they are. This weakness isn't strong like some but it can be. Usually it ends up making that person have self-esteem issues or even health issues depending on the defect.
AMPUTATION - Amputation is one of the bigger physical weaknesses. Basically it's where you loose a limb, and since it's high impossible (even for super humans) to grow it back giving your opponent advantage over you.
DISFIGUREATION - This is basically those super humans who don't look human. They have rock like bodies, or are hairy or are like shape shifters that don't look humans until they shift. These people don't go out into society often, only at night when people aren't on the streets. These people stay at St. Cathrines their whole lives practically.
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS - Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Pride, Wrath and Gluttony. The seven deadly sins. The blackest sins anyone person can commit, and yet everyone does them. They're what make you the weakest when it comes to weaknesses they pull you to do them, and you cannot fight it. [/blockquote]
