The Character Expertise Ratings Meme
This meme's pretty simple. It represents the number of "dots" each character has put into a particular skill or was born with.
The categories are:
Mysticism/Magic: Your character's ability with magic, ghosts or other supernatural things.
Close Range Fighting: Your character's ability to fight at close range, with or without a weapon.
Long Range Fighting: Your character's ability to fight at long range, either with a gun, or natural abilities (such as the Force or Bending)
Piloting: Your character's ability to pilot or drive different craft.
Engineering/Hacking: Your character's facility with machines/computers, building, maintaining and modifying them.
Medicine: Pretty self explanatory
Survival: Your character's expertise at survival in a particular environment. The rating goes up if they can teach these skills to others and/or survive in multiple environments. Conversely it goes down if they are so adapted to one environment that they have trouble functioning in others (IE Lafiel's trouble with gravity or Sheeana's with water). Note the environment if the rating is above civilian.
Diplomacy/Politics: Your character's ability with interpersonal, national, international and interspecies politics. Includes both characters who have good skills in the social arena (IE have high CAR ratings) and those who are experts in sociopolitical theory.
Here are the categories in handy textbox form:
Mysticism/Magic:
Close Range Fighting:
Long Range Fighting:
Piloting:
Engineering/Hacking:
Medicine:
Survival:
Diplomacy/Politics:
The ratings are:
crippled: This category doesn't exist in your character's world or they are otherwise unable to access it. A character who comes from a totally scifi world with no supernatural abilities would put this rating in for Mysticism/magic, for instance.
civilian: This category exists in your character's world but your character is not trained in it nor do they have any special abilities in it.
badass: Your character either has some amount of training in this or is naturally gifted at it.
expert: Your character is either a natural prodigy at this or has spent a long time studying it.

Piloting: Born to a spacefaring culture, trained in piloting from childhood, and with the added advantage of the froce/almface system, it's difficult to imagine a better race of pilots than the Abh and Lafiel is one of their captains.

Close Range Fighting: badass - The guy's a tank. Plus made of metal. If he hits you, you will probably feel it in the morning.
Long Range Fighting: badass - See above. I lost track of how many different projectile/laser weapons he had over the series.
Piloting: badass
Engineering/Hacking: OVER 9000!! ...expert XD
Medicine: badass, I think. Seeing he was attaching Garth's arm and all. But then they also sent Legionnaires to the hospital so.
Survival: badass - lolololrobot. Not having to really breathe is a really neat skill to have, but not exactly something he can teach.

Close Range Fighting: civilian. He wouldn't even attempt to fight if it were necessary on occasion.
Long Range Fighting: civilian. See above - he's picked up some skills out of necessity.
Piloting: crippled. There is no way he could pilot anything bigger then a car with his colorblindness.
Engineering/Hacking: civilian
Medicine: civilian
Survival: expert. Practically anywhere. He can land anywhere and anyplace in time, so he's gotten really good at taking care of himself and others in unfamiliar terrain.
Diplomacy/Politics: badass. Another thing he's had to pick up because of the time traveling.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: badass. Not the same level as Bruce yet, but he's been getting into fights since he was a kid. He knows how to cause some damage.
Long Range Fighting: civilian. He tends to prefer the style of 'Go punch people until they stop fighting back' over anything long-range.
Piloting: expert, though only with the Batmobile.
Engineering/Hacking: civilian
Medicine: civilian
Survival: civilian
Diplomacy/Politics: civilian. He tends to be bad at anything that isn't intimidating bad guys, but he's not completely social inept.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Decently badass. Claws hurt, tail sting hurts and venom? Won't go there. And the whole...using pure emotion as a weapon. Yeah.
Long Range Fighting: Crippled. Aim? What means this?
Piloting: Crippled. You seriously don't want him driving anything. Trust me. The last USS Enterprise found that out the hard way despite the fact they chased off a bunch of Romulans.
Engineering/Hacking: Crippled. He'd sooner bite a computer, as perhaps witness with the nibblings of his omnicom.
Medicine: Somewhere between Badass and Expert given how he does it.
Survival: Expert. He's survived in various terrains and mostly, on his own.
Diplomacy/Politics: Crippled. If you say the word "Politics", he'll likely give you a "WTF?" chirp.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Expert
Long Range Fighting: Badass (short- to mid-range guns) Civilian (long range guns)
Piloting: Crippled
Engineering/Hacking: Crippled (on his own) Badass (with Unit XXVI)

Survival: civilian, although she's better than average in urban environments
Diplomacy/Politics: badass (well... she did manage to finagle her way into queen-bee status at a very large high school.)

Long Range Fighting: civilian, with ditto

Engineering/Hacking: civilian
Medicine: expert (connected with the Mysticism rating)
Survival: civilian

Close Range Fighting: Expert. Her Device has like four different weapon modes, and she can kick ass with all of them.
Long Range Fighting: Badass. She's very good at it, but not as good as, say, Nanoha or Hayate.
Piloting: Civilian. The most we see her drive is a badass sports car. :D;
Engineering/Hacking: Civilian.
Medicine: Civilian.
Survival: This... is hard to say. Since her job is to visit many different worlds to uphold the peace and all that jazz, I'd like to think she's been trained to prepare for anything. Buuuut we haven't seen any of her adventures on planets other than Earth and Mid-Childa, so I'll have to put Civilian. :V
Diplomacy/Politics: Civilian. Again, it's her job to uphold the peace so it's possible she knows some forms of diplomacy, but she's a soldier mostly, so yeah.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Badass. He's gotten training from a guy named Karate Kid. While not an expert martial artist, he definitely can stand his own. The Legion, uh, fights a lot.
Long Range Fighting: Expert. With his forcefields, he's very formidable.
Piloting: Badass. While not an expert pilot, his good reflexes and ability to quickly calculate trajectories and acceleration make him a very good one. Plus, everyone in his time and universe has at least some piloting skills.
Engineering/Hacking: Expert. 12th-level intellect. 'Nuff said.
Medicine: Expert. He can't do EVERYTHING, as his expertise is primarily in mechanics, but he knows well more than the average doctor.
Survival: Crippled. If he was dumped in some horrible, difficult-to-survive-in city and told to survive, he'd be rockin' at it, and hack his way into having cash for a very sweet hotel, but otherwise...
Diplomacy/Politics: Crippled. Ooooooh, so crippled. The Legion kept him faaaar away from the diplomats.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Expert. He's been trained by Superman, Guardian, and various other heroes on how to fight hand to hand, and has held his own plenty of times without powers. He's a bit crude, more a brawler than anything, but effective. And tough.
Long Range Fighting: Badass. TTK for the win. He needs to learn to hone it more, though.
Piloting: Civilian. He's a decent enough pilot and the super reflexes give him an edge, but he's never really trained at it.
Engineering/Hacking: Civilian. He's smart and he's got some tricks with the TTK helping him construct and deconstruct things, and also knows some basic auto mechanics and can fix a tractor, but he's not really an engineer.
Medicine: Badass. He's got about the same level of training as an EMT.
Survival: Badass. Kal and Guardian made sure he had some survival training.
Diplomacy/Politics: Civilian. Kon's not really a diplomat, but socially, he's pretty smooth, so he's not crippled, either.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Expert.
Long Range Fighting: Badass. (She's decent with a gun, but not a marksman).
Piloting: Civilian.
Engineering/Hacking: Civilian.
Medicine: Badass. She knows some first aid.
Survival: Expert. She knows how to survive in the wilderness. An' the city. An' the desert.
Diplomacy/Politics: Badass. She actually learned some stuff from the monks, and she knows how to read people very well.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Expert. It's mostly defensive, though, but still, he's a slippery little thing.
Long Range Fighting: Expert. Master of all four elements, yo. He still has some stuff to learn, but he's pretty badass.
Piloting: Crippled. No planes or anything in his world.
Engineering/Hacking: Crippled. What is a computator? He does know how to use some of Stacy's tech, but only barely, and he has a lot of problems understanding it.
Medicine: Civilian. No training whatsoever, but he knows the common sense stuff like putting pressure on a wound and some basic first aid.
Survival: Expert. Like many people in his world, he does know how to survive in the wilderness, because, uh...that's what you do. Although, he doesn't hunt, but he knows how to find edible roots and stuff. It helps being a spirit of the planet and stuff, too. If you stuck him on some random hostile planet, he'd find places to sleep, find food, and be okay, fairly easily. He only has a bit of trouble with deserts.
Diplomacy/Politics: Badass. Aang doesn't always know the right things to say, but he is good at getting different groups of people to get along and bringing people together. Eventually, as he develops his skills, he'll be an expert. That's his jorb as Avatar. Kid stopped a hundred year long war, after all.
no subject
Mysticism/Magic: Badass. You'd be surprised, but the scarab is actually very good at analyzing magic and even disrupting it, which is probably why it passed as a magical artifact for so long. He also had a magical girlfriend back home, and hung with the Posse, so he does have some understanding of how magic works.
Close Range Fighting: Badass, but only barely. Jaime Reyes is not the best at hand to hand. If not for Peacemaker and some training with the Titans, he'd suck.
Long Range Fighting: Expert. Ion cannons. Oh yes.
Piloting: Badass. The suit is an expert at it, Jaime has some natural skill.
Engineering/Hacking: Jaime's just badass. Khaji's an expert.
Medicine: Badass. Jaime's the son of a nurse and knows basic first aid, and has read a LOT of medical textbooks.
Survival: Badass. His dad has taken him camping and such.
Diplomacy/Politics: Badass. Jaime's got a natural mind for manipulation and tactics, but hasn't honed his skills to expertise yet.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Started at civilian, leaning more toward badass now.
Long Range Fighting: Sorta-near badass, but not as skilled at it as close range.
Piloting: Badass, maybe? He's piloted two different death machines, built new features into his own car, and seems to be able to drive just about anything. (Boats, cars, ATVs, Zords---and it's a flying car, mind.)
Engineering/Hacking: Expert, of course.
Medicine: Civilian.
Survival: Civilian. He never really roughed it out, and he's made some really stupid mistakes that could've had him and the team killed.
Diplomacy/Politics: Civilian. Trini and Jason are good at it, not him. He just tries to keep everyone happy and fails.

Close Range Fighting: Expert. With his acrobatic abilities, how could he not be?
Long Range Fighting: Expert. Exploding playing cards count as a long range weapon, right?
Piloting: Badass. He's been shown to pilot some of the X-men jets, so I'm presuming he's at least a badass.
Engineering/Hacking: Civilian. He's not Hank.
Medicine: Badass. He's got some first aid training.
Survival: Expert. Gambit grew up surviving, so I'd say he's had quite a bit of real-world experience.
Diplomacy/Politics: Expert. Hypnotic charm definitely helps here.
no subject
Mysticism/Magic: Crippled. Smoke monster or no smoke monster, Sawyer has had NOOOOO training with any of this.
Close Range Fighting: Civilian. He can put up a fight but he's not exactly an army ranger.
Long Range Fighting: Civilian. Ditto. Sawyer can shoot and usually hit stuff but he's not a sniper and without his glasses...he can't exactly see all that great either.
Piloting: Civilian.
Engineering/Hacking: Civilian.
Medicine: Civilian.
Survival: Badass. The lack of the above abilities aside, Sawyer is actually pretty good at adapting to his environment and knowing how to get by while others are still trying to play by the same old rules.
Diplomacy/Politics: Expert. He's a con-man. Sawyer knows how to wheel-and-deal to get what he wants. He's good at reading people and knows how to manipulate them into doing things he needs or wants them to do. Even if he usually does come across as just a jerk.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: expert. Trained in the many martial art forms by Karate Kid (as were many Legionnaires) as well as training from being a Precommando, with an added bonus of her precogging, Nura will predict each and every move of yours, counter it, and, if she sees an opening, she will knock you out.
Long Range Fighting: civillian. While she does have training with blasters, Nura is more of a hands-on kinda girl. Her precogging will help trace and locate, but unless she can smash the enemy's head in with the butt of a blaster, she's only five points above average.
Piloting: civillian. Earth-Prime Legion operates on transmatters for their long-distance transportation needs. Their flight rings also play a big role in helping them move around at a faster, and more efficient, pace.
Engineering/Hacking: badass. Thanks to her training as a Precommando, Nura knows how to effectively hack and trace systems; she does enjoy inventions and putting things together (constantly fascinated by what Querl creates) and even once ordered Querl to build a machine at demand from a precognition.
Medicine: civillian. The future is an extremely high-tech time-frame. Medicals range from regrowing your teeth, arm, leg, and even repairing any bruises, cuts, or gashes by just hopping in a bio-repair bath for an hour or so. So Nura's skills are limited to covering a wound and putting some disinfectant on it.
Survival: crippled. Her precogging would allow her to track and navigate her away across a lone range, but since her ring is trackable, it is doubtful she'd ever really be stranded.
Diplomacy/Politics: civillian. Most, if not all of the Legion of Earth-Prime has some diplomacy skills - and Nura can be very sweet and persuasive - but unless you are Cosmic Boy or Brainiac 5, you are not really badass.
no subject
Close Range Fighting: Badass - She's competent, but it's not her specialty.
Long Range Fighting: Expert - This is INCREDIBLY her specialty.
Piloting: Civilian
Engineering/Hacking: Civilian
Medicine: Civilian
Survival: Probably closer to badass than civilian.
Diplomacy/Politics: Badass. She knows how to get people to work together, and she tends to want to resolve situations by talking. Barring that, she'll shoot you UNTIL you talk.

Piloting: Crippled. He probably doesn't even know how to ride a bike.
Engineering/Hacking: civilian. He can build a mean card pyramid.
Medicine: Civilian. Just minor first aid.
Survival: badass. He is Apollo. And he can breathe. In space. Well, and survive comfortably in any environment on Earth, as long as he gets some sunlight.
Diplomacy/Politics: Badass. He ruled America once. Sure, his idea of politics is "Don't fuck up and I won't kill you", but...

Close Range Fighting: Expert, given that he trained as a warrior his whole life, but he's lowered to Badass without his two great advantages, which are his physical strength and his team.
Long Range Fighting: Badass. He put some dots in Thrown.
Piloting: Civilian. Why would he need to pilot anything anyway? He's got wings.
