The Vampires of Breaking Dawn

Just a precaution - below the lj-cut is a bunch of information about the abilities of the vampires in the Twilight series. Most are from the final book of the series, Breaking Dawn, so that would be considered spoilery. Proceed with caution!

I couldn't think of a better place to post this, so here I am. I'm hoping this hasn't been posted before and if it has, I'm terribly sorry.

As a fan of many (almost all, in fact) of the characters in the Twilight series, when I have too much time on my hands, I love thinking about the vampires and their many, many abilities/talents. I'm sure I'm not the only one that read Breaking Dawn and finished it feeling dazed and loaded with information. So, I think it might be fun to put together a post of all the vampires and their special abilities/talents. I have a list from the back of Breaking Dawn below the cut and hopefully, you guys can help me list all of the abilities of each vampire! (This is kind of like a game, if you can't tell, rofl.) Proper names for the abilities are appreciated and encouraged. Have fun! :D

Note: Thanks for helping put this together! Everyone that replied totally rocks! I checked Wikipedia's List of Twilight Characters and according to that website: Didyme, Corin, Afton, and Heidi's powers have not yet, but revealed, but I know a lot of you are sure about Heidi's power, so I've left what we filled in. For now, the list is as complete as it can be. (: Feel free to add this page to your LJ memories for future references. I promise not to delete this post! :D

P.S. I didn't really feel like this was all that spoilery. Pretty much everyone know that there will be multiple vampires that we didn't know in previous books, right? If not, you must be living under a rock. ;) If the mods want me to put this under a cut, just let me know!

I gotta say that shouldn't Irina be technically crossed out as well?
& Kate's power is that her skin shocks people when they touch her.

[info]lighting

August 18 2008, 05:57:40 UTC 3 years ago

I crossed out Irina! I blanked on the fact that she died in Breaking Dawn, rofl.
And I added Kate's power next to her name! :D

Hey, Thanks for this. I'm intrigued by them too. Mostly by how they came to have the abilities that they possess in their vampire state. it makes you wonder how they truly were in their human lives.

I think the most obvious is Zafrina with her ability to cast illusions in the minds of those around her. Maybe in her human years, she was a huge day dreamer (lol) either that or she's an illusionist, for lack of a better word.

Didn't Steph mention that Jane and Alec were witches?

[info]lighting

August 18 2008, 05:59:04 UTC 3 years ago

Heee, I'm glad I'm not that only one! I love just thinking about what they were like as humans and as newborn vampires as well. (:

I added Zafrina's ability next to her name. :D Her power is really intriguing to me. (:

And I think she did mention that, but don't they have a specific power? Hm. Maybe I should just put witches. I'm torn. D:

I absolutely love the index :D
It was definately cool to see and read about a bunch of other vampires. The index helped me keep up with them all, the whole time I was reading the part where the new vampires came into the story I just had to keep flipping back to see who was who. And wouldn't Benjamin be like a controller of the elements? I dunno.

[info]lighting

August 18 2008, 06:15:08 UTC 3 years ago

Heee, added! And I love the index, too. I was constantly flipping to the back of the book, because like Jacob, I couldn't keep anyone's names straight as the book came to a close. LOL.

Eleasar is what I like to call a Talent-senser.
Did he even have a name for his power in the book? Because I'm looking for it and I can't remember. But that's what he does.

Renesmee is what I call an Image Projector. Instead of reading another persons mind, they read hers through the images she gives them.

This is just what I call them, though. Heh... -cough-

-looks up the others-

James was a Tracker, that was his talent. Like.. Edward could track, yeah, but he didn't have.. the abilities for it. James does.

James was a tracker.
& Wasn't Victoria's the ability to escape?

Eleazar sees what ability/power a vampire has.

Garrett... the ability to be awesome, PWN, & make everyone who read the book love him.

August 18 2008, 06:17:23 UTC 3 years ago

Added! And I agree about Garrett. ;) He is so awesome. I just love him! ♥

This is probably just me being anal, but I think the proper word for Alice would be a psychic? And I think Renesmee would be telepathic.
Just trying to help out :D

Haha, thank you. I could not for the life of me remember the exact names for what those two could do. And as soon as you gave me those names, I remembered discussing with one of my friends that what Jasper is called is an empath. :D

I really want to know how Benjamin's abilities came to be.

Maybe he was very in tune with nature or his environment, or something as a human.

[info]zappeej

August 18 2008, 06:28:29 UTC 3 years ago

same here, same here. All the vampires with extraordinary abilities are intriguing.

[info]crailis

August 18 2008, 06:24:02 UTC 3 years ago

-giggles- Every time I see Benjamin's name and power, I'm always reminded of Aang from Avatar. <3 That's why I love him.

Man, I really wish she would have gone more in to the powers the Volturi Guard had. Cause I don't thing she specified the rest of them...

OH. Alistair is a tracker as well, I believe. Says on page 612. Says he just feels "an elusive pull toward whatever he was seeing", but they mark him as a tracker.

[info]lighting

August 18 2008, 20:38:39 UTC 3 years ago

Thank you! :D I added Alistair's power to the list. ♥

[info]pinkstripesock

August 18 2008, 06:38:12 UTC 3 years ago

I really wish she went into everybody's powers because those little question marks are beginning to bug me.
why did SMeyer put the little asteriks there if she isn't going to tell us why?!
ahhh! can't wait for december 30!!!

[info]thrown_rosesx

August 18 2008, 18:53:21 UTC 3 years ago

She has admitted to reading fan fiction. She has a guide coming out in December, but maybe she wanted to let her fans have a chance to run their imagination to see what they think the guard will have?

August 18 2008, 20:41:00 UTC 3 years ago

Yay! :D Right now, the list is as complete as it can be. There are 3 or 4 vampires that Stephenie never revealed the powers of. :/

[info]liltinybee

August 18 2008, 06:45:16 UTC 3 years ago

Just a thought... since "talented" humans have their inherent talents intensified after they become vampires, maybe Renesmee's power will also be amplified if she ever becomes a full vampire. Maybe she'll be able to control minds (Jedi mindtrick?) or something like that? Thoughts?

[info]lighting

August 18 2008, 20:42:39 UTC 3 years ago

Hmm, that's an interesting thought, actually. I am kind of hoping that after Renesmee is full grown they'll just change her into a full vampire... But I think Jacob won't really want that, so I don't think that's a part of their future. &heharts; And I like the idea of her power being enhanced and possibly being able to control the minds of others.

August 18 2008, 06:49:17 UTC 3 years ago

Ahaha, I'm so amused that by Victoria's name is "ability to escape?" Bwahaha, that was such a.. strange and eerie ability. :D Weird vampire.

I don't think I'm any use in this hyper state. Good job guys. :D

[info]lighting

August 18 2008, 20:43:30 UTC 3 years ago

Haha, she is really weird. Per the suggestion of another member, I just changed it to Sense of Self Preservation... not that that's really any better. She is just weird weird weird, imo. xD

I'm guessing that Sacha might be Tanya, Irina and Kate's mother/creater right, and that the other name is the little boy she created, Vasili. I might be wrong there, because they're names were never mentioned in the book, and they're the only ones I can think of that were in that coven with them.

[info]hp5freak

August 18 2008, 12:56:22 UTC 3 years ago

It's hard to say actually. Sasha is a nickname for males too (mostly for Alexander and its many incarnations). Vasili is the Russian form of Basil...but from what I could find, it too can be feminine or masculine.

I would lean toward Sasha as mother too, though.

Didyme's gift [where you put a (?)]

What happened to Marcus's wife Didyme?
(I didn't not invent this, I took it from Meyer's site, FAQ section.. hope it helps you determine Didyme's gift!!) ;)
Great job on the list btw!! <3

Once upon a time, a fairly young vampire (he had only been a vampire for a decade and a half) named Aro changed his young sister Didyme, who had just reached adulthood, into a vampire in order to add her to his growing coven. Aro always wanted power, and because he himself had a potent mind-reading gift, he hoped his biological sister would also be gifted in a way that would help him rise in the vampire world. It turned out that Didyme did have a gift; she carried with her an aura of happiness that affected everyone who came near her. Though it wasn't exactly what he had hoped for, Aro pondered the best ways he could use this gift. Meanwhile, Aro's most trusted partner, Marcus, fell in love with Didyme. This was not unusual; given the way she made people feel, lots of people fell in love with Didyme. The difference was that this time, Didyme fell in love herself. The two of them were tremendously happy. So happy, in fact that, after a while, they no longer cared that much about Aro's plans for domination. After a few centuries, Didyme and Marcus discussed going their own way. Of course, Aro was well aware of their intentions. He was not happy about it, but he pretended to give his blessing. Then he waited for an opportunity to act, and when he knew he would never be found out, he murdered his sister. After all, Marcus's gift was much more useful to him than hers had been. This is not to say that Aro did not truly love his sister; it's just that a key part of his personality is the ability to destroy even what he loves in order to further his ambitions. Marcus never found out that Aro was responsible for Didyme's death. He became an empty man. Aro used Chelsea's gift to keep Marcus loyal to the Volturi, though not even Chelsea's gift could make Marcus show any enthusiasm for it.
