Ability Dilemma
Hi there! Piérre here! I'm currently caught between three/four different abilities to apply for this year and I want some opinions. I will eventually apply for Fearless, Beast Master, and Blindvision in their own time [unless I really like Impartial], but I'm trying to debate between these for the time being. This vote will be open for 10 days!
Here's my rationale for each!
Beast Master: Figaro (cat) joins the fight!
ReducioEver since Piérre bought his little bundle of fluffy joy, he has been training his kitten diligently. Sit, come, roll over, play dead, walk, run, remember people/go to people, and deliver messages (via a piece of parchment attached to the kitten's collar). It would not be that far of a stretch for Piérre have maintained such a bond with his pet as to teach the little guy to sneak up on and spy on others if his human brother wanted. Piérre has tended to be the eyes and ears of the walls and the student body, unnervingly like an Italian Godfather... Figaro is but one of his right hand men.
Blindvision: No longer require eyes to see. No longer fooled by darkness or illusions.
ReducioAlways a fan of staying up late, Piérre fell in love with the night sky from an early age. Growing up mostly in urban places, however, light pollution was always in high supply and the boy had never been in a place ot total darkness. In these past years, schooled up in the Highlands, there were no artificial lights other than torchlight and his own imagination. His mind had played tricks on him ever since his first year, and in his second year he frequented the dungeons quite often. He had also been kidnapped in the dungeons resulting in a stay there from near the end of his year into his next [yes, Piérre will canonically be in the dungeons to explain my hiatus]. He had to learn to see in the dark... To enjoy the stars and moon and also to traverse the dungeons without getting lost. Green eyes shine in the dark, like a little pixie's.
Fearless: Immunity to 'Fear' effects [dhampir aura, Terrible Presence, etc.]
ReducioIn Piérre's two years, he's been shaken up really badly with curses, not being liked by many people, and having his reputation tarnished to the point of him being unsure of his own drives and motivations... He's realized that some things just aren't worth worrying about. His Zen-like way of looking at the world comes through in full and like 'The Cunning Little Tailor', he gains the ability to smile at the scary things and laugh off the fear all while bolstering his own friends (with his Calming Presence).
With a smile and a twirl, Piérre flourishes and pushes aside the darkness of others, seeing a person in everyone, even if he struggles with forgiving himself for some of his mistakes.
Impartial: Immunity to Veela Alluring, Lovely Creature, and some charms and jinxes.
ReducioTo be honest... Piérre never truly understood the meaning of 'getting together'. Did it just mean that they were REALLY close friends? And what did that even MEAN?! I mean... WHAT?! He certainly found other people pretty, but didn't quite understand what others found so entrancing about them. They were nice people. Everyone was. Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, and while Piérre appreciated beauty, he appreciated quiet beauty; beauty which spoke through actions and not just visage. Was that really too hard to ask? For someone to be more beautiful on the inside than on the outside?
Opinions welcome! Advise me!

I'd say beastmaster, I really think it would suit him
and he can bond stronger with Figaro on his way to getting those other abilities!

Statistically. Pierre is a Quidditch player. Blindvision doesn't do a lot for that case, but for the rare moderated events, probably, sometimes. Beastmaster would likely be for moderated events. He has a land-dwelling cat and not a flying owl to claw a Quidditch player in the skies. tho imagine that. Fearless gives you protection against 1-2 types of abilities, UA and TP, so does impartial with VA and LC (maybe charmer???) I'd say choose the latter. There are more chars with LC than TP esp on Quidditch, there are teams without a single TP char.
