0. Stun Grenade: This character is seen carrying a stun grenade.

These grenades are used to temporally neutralize the combat effectiveness of enemies by disorienting their senses. The flash of light momentarily activates all light sensitive cells in the eye, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds until the eye restores itself to its normal, unstimulated state. The loud blast produced by the grenade adds to its incapacitating properties by disturbing the fluid in the ear.
0. Stun Gun: This character is shown to carry a stun gun and possibly use it as well.

A stun gun is a type of electroshock weapon that is used for incapacitating a person by administering electric shock aimed at disrupting superficial muscle functions. The shock is delivered by making direct contact with the target using the device.

Unlike a [url=/i2171]taser[/URL], a stun gun cannot launch its electrodes, so it must make direct contact with the target.
0. Swim Cap: This character wears a swim cap.

Caps are worn for various reasons. Some facilities require the wearing of swim caps, in order to protect filters from becoming clogged with loose hairs which fall from the scalp of swimmers who are not wearing a cap. Caps are also sometimes worn in an attempt to keep the hair relatively dry or free from chlorinated water, to keep the sun off of the hair, and also, when a cap is worn with ear plugs, in order to keep water out of the ears.

Competitive swim caps are made of tightly fitted silicone, latex, or lycra that hugs the skull of its user, providing cover for his or her hair. This reduces drag in the water caused by loose hair. During longer swimming sessions, a swim cap keeps the head warm.
0. Tablet Computer: This character has/is seen with a tablet.

A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and LCD touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single thin, flat package. Tablets, being computers, do what other personal computers do, but lack some I/O capabilities that others have. Modern tablets largely resemble modern smartphones, the only differences being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, and may not support access to a cellular network.
0. Taser: This character is shown to carry a taser and possibly use it as well.

Taser is a type of electroshock weapon used by firing two small dart-like electrodes, which stay connected to the main unit by conductors, to deliver electric current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles causing "neuromuscular incapacitation". The electrodes are pointed to penetrate clothing and barbed to prevent removal once in place.

Unlike a [url=/i1306]stun gun[/url], a taser can launch its electrodes, allowing the user to maintain some distance between themselves and the target.
0. Telepath: This character has telepathic abilities.
