A Character's Power

    Power is extremely important for a character--especially protagonists and antagonists. It's what gives them the ability/strength to do things. Without power, all they can do is think and simmer. A good guy without power can only stand by and watch, and a bad guy without power isn't threatening at all.
    This power can be physical abilities, special information/insight, and other skills. Something that makes a character special; something that they use to do something radical.
    Where do they get their power? It doesn't have to be something they're born with. A character may get their power from a situation they're in, or a place they go to, or from other people. For example: a blackmailer's power would be information, which they could receive from their own investigating skills or from other people. And an athlete's power would be their ability to excel at a sport, which they could improve by practicing at a gym or on an empty field.
    What is your protagonist's "power," and where do they get it from?
