Most hivi karibuni sasisho made on 7 December 2007.

This is an expansion of the foramu thread, link, listing all the significant characters on the onyesha and a brief description of what we know about them as of the most hivi karibuni episode. This means that this is chock-full of spoilers, and should not be read kwa anyone who hasn't seen all the episodes au doesn't want to find out about character developments outside of the pacing of the onyesha itself.

OK, with that caveat, here's the list, divided into three sections: characters with powers, characters without powers, and deceased characters. I've included only significant and/or recurring characters. Characters who had powers before the current generation are marked with an asterisk.

ThinkPink20 Great list, it's awesome. I would like to point out that "The Welder"'s name is Dale... something. Just something to look into! Great job!

Booyahboy its good to finally see it all written down, but I thought Angella Petrelli, Kaito Nakamura, Charles Deveaux and the other original heroes DO have powers, but we don't know what powers they have. maybe, if this is the case, they should say (confirmed but unknown powers). Also, Eden was killed by Sylar, she didn't commit Suicide. but apart from that, really good (sorry, but im a very picky person. Ignore me if you want to)

harold Thanks to both of you: I've inserted Dale's name, and adjusted Eden's cause of death. I'd forgotten that Eden didn't choose to shoot herself, just that she did shoot herself (so Sylar couldn't get her power). As for the powers, whatever they've got, the powers are not obvious. Cheers!

harold OK, so I was wrong to adjust Eden's cause of death. It was clearly suicide: she [i]did[/i] shoot herself so that Sylar wouldn't get her power. I've re-corrected it.

Timoklon charles deveaux's power is obvious. you've got to read into this shit people.

Nagrom He can see the future and past in his dreams?

Nagrom omniscience?

Panikmachenmann Sylars power isnt instant learning, cos thats eidetic memory and thats Charlies power(RIP). His power is more like "invasive empathy"

greendayrokar13 soz 2 be picky but Adam (Kensei) also has blood dat heals others. remember nathan??

ballers316 hey this show is great love the characters and their powers but has anyone noticed that in some episodes clair has earings how is that possible if she regenerates.

harold Memory is not the same as learning. You can remember things without having any idea how they work. Sylar knows how things work (it's a spin on his being a watchmaker, after all). As for Takezo, you're right - he does have the same silly "healing blood" that Claire has.

fanmania8 Im not sure but Nathan's power is 'flight at the speed of sound' and West is that he just 'flys normal' (just my opinion)

Nikkis970 Takezo has healing blood he healed nathan cant remember the episode but he healed nathan correct me if I remember wrong
