Let's start off with giving Valkyrie Low-Mid or perhaps Mid regeneration (could be either imo, not that knowledgeable on regen) and invisiblity for Skullduggery Pleasant.

Children of Faceless Ones (COFO). If someone is a COFO then they would gain certain boosts / abilities:

Malice describing the changes when becoming a COFO to Valkyrie

"Damocles Creed had been searching for the Child of the Faceless Ones for centuries. he had no idea that he'd been searching for our family the whole time. If he Activated someone like me, my power level would skyrocket and he's have found what he was looking for."

Cadaver Cain after shooting COFO (Malice):

"Malice snarled. "It's only a matter--"
He shot her in the head and Valkyrie yelled.
"It's OK," Cadaver said, putting away the revolver and taking Valkyrie by the arm. "That won't keep her down for long."

"She'll be OK?" Valkyrie asked. "You shot her in the head."
"You're sister will be unconscious for thirty-seven minutes and then she'll awaken with nothing more than a headache," Cadaver said. "She's the child of the Faceless Ones, Valkyrie - bullets only slow her down."


And after Valkyrie becomes COFO:

"Her bones snapped.
Her lings and her liver and her kidneys ruptured.
Her eyes burst. Her heart burst. Her brain boiled.
The lightning faded and the corpse hung in mid-air.
The she dropped to her feet and she was healed."


Skullduggery time.

Cadaver Cain (Future Skullduggery) has a cloaking sphere:

"Oh, could you possibly do me an enormous favour? There's a cloaking sphere in my inside pocket. If you would be so kind..."
"Sure," Valkyrie said. It was awkward with the handcuffs, but she reached in, found the sphere and twisted both sides and a bubble of invisibility enveloped them"


As for why it should be his notable equipment:

"Is that how you've evaded capture?" She asked.
"Sorry?"
"The sphere. Is that why they haven't been able to find you?"
"One of the reasons," he said. "You're looking healthy, Valkyrie"



Cadaver Cain (Skulduggery) - Power bestowal

“I saw this play out hundreds of years ago when the Viddu De opened my eyes - such as they were - to what was to come. That’s when I approached Uriah, and opened his eyes to, allowing him to see what i see”

Viddu De gave Cadaver the ability to see all timelines, with Skulduggery giving said ability to Uriah, who uses this ability just to get cucked by Auger being unseen by all timelines.

Valkyrie Cain - Power bestowal (Gave Omen the temporary ability to use Aura vision)

“This’ll feel a little weird, but i’m just going to take a tiny, tiny step into your mind.”
“No, I don’t”
“Relax,” she said, laughing “I won’t be able to read your thoughts or anything. It’s only a tiny step, just so I can let you see what I see. I call it my aura-vision. I keep meaning to come up with a cooler name for it”



Cadaver Cain (Skullduggery) - Possession (Took control of Valkyrie Cain’s body in a way that Tanith compared it to the possession of a Remanant)

“I’ve been experimenting with my life force over the last few years, but I’ve never actually possessed anyone before.”

“Cadaver Cain was controlling things, totally and utterly. She couldn’t even blink. She couldn’t eve do that”

“What are you?” Tanith asked. “You a ghost? A Remnant? What do i need to do to get rid of you?”




Cadaver Cain (Skulduggery) - Existence erasure (used the obsidian blade against Auger Darkly which “one cut from the Obsidian Blade wipes you from existence” and that after getting cut by it there will be “nothing left of you. No soul, no energy, nothing. Simple Oblivion

“Cadaver grabbed Auger’s wrist, chopped down on the elbow with his other hand and plunged the broken blade into Auger’s chest

Note: He only used the Obsidian blade once against Augur and despite the name “blade” its described as only having a “sliver” of the blade left

Possibly higher for All mages - Mages during Draiocht boost having their magic powers amped

“The source rifts had widened. Magic poured into reality like someone had turned the tap on full, and it fulled up every sorcerer and it was amazing.”

Cadaver Cain (Skulduggery) - binding uses “binding bullets” against Malice which spreads “ink” over her body with "sigils" that unable her ability to move

This isn't all the revisions that could be added, and with my horrible luck some of these are probably already on their profiles (im too lazy to check, yet not lazy enough to not scour through the book for quotes) these are just the ones i could find, and i could look for more, but i want this out by the end of the weekend so oh well.
 
Cadaver Cain isn't Skulduggery. Well, he is, but a parallel timeline one. Can't give his stuff to the main Skulduggery. You would need to create a profile for Cadaver Cain and put it on that.

Power Bestowal for Valkyrie is a no from my side. She transmits her senses to him via her mind manipulation. She doesn't actually give him the power.

No "possibly higher" either. Yeah, they are boosted. But that's a temporary universal event that boosts all mages. It would need a separate key and it isn't nearly noticeable enough for that.

The regeneration... well, I'm not sure if her regenerating from the ritual damage is what she would be consistently able to do, as it might have been aided by the faceless ones. Valkyrie is also not future Alice. Who knows if she has developed her powers as far as Alice had in the future already.
I would personally like to wait and see if she shows any regeneration in the next volume, but if you want to add it, I guess "likely Low-Mid" is fine. It should be said that this power should go into a new "Post-Activation" key on her page.

I know, i'm planning on making a key for Cadaver because the differences between the two are minimal in terms of profile making outside of hax, just wanted to write them out here for prosperity's sake and to explain why Cadaver is getting the hax he is.

Outside of that? Any contentions or do you agree with them all?
 
I would personally go for a separate profile instead of a key, to keep the page less cluttered, but do as you like.

But aside from what I said above I'm ok with the stuff, yeah.

I'm fine with either a separate profile or a key, but to make it easier we can just make a profile. I'll get to doing that...once i figure out how to
 
bump, DT's support is great, but ion want to add it without more discourse
 
bump, forgot about this because of a more important crt i was working on
 
Bump, can what has been accepted by DT for Valkyrie and Cadaver (who'll eventually get his own page) be added to their profile.
