If her thieving skills did transfer over she might not need the Imps classes.
And she is a grunt now. That will eat up a chunk of her free time.
And she is supposed to be keeping some of her abilities secret.
And what ever military branch she eventually joins will probably teach her what she needs to know in that aria.
And she might still be a little shell shocked in regards to all that has happened to her. And might not want to have anything to do with her characters occupation.
No no. Unless that author says other wise of coarse. But I don't expect to see anything more than a throw away line about it. Perhaps while looking for more club members.

Like many Underdogs, Pol is only such because they fail to understand the power magnification that you can get from having a broad spectrum power and a little creativity.
Anyone doubting this should reread the Jade/Jinn stories. Jade is no more than a level two at whatever she does. Unless she is a level 7 (stuck shifter) Oh and she has level 5+ regen.... But still her 'super' powers are very low level.

Using TVs to brainwash people is theoretically a real thing! Read about it here: www.google.com/patents/US6506148
If sufficiently stable, could turn a large number of people into zombies, and then get others to watch it... Ala Cell or something.
I'd think there's measures against this in the Whateley-verse...

Conjoiner
When this mutant comes into skin to skin contact with another person, that contact fuses the two of them, joining them into a single body sort of like conjoined twins. He has a weird mutant blood type that can handle joining circulatory systems with other people without killing either of them. The bodies will slowly fuse together from the initial contact, with the end result being a single normal human. That process would take several years to complete unless it was helped along by a full body embrace between the two bodies.(which would speed up the fusion by way of increased surface area). So far all connections have been surgically separated before they progressed more than a month. It's unclear what would happen once their brains start to fuse, but nobody is in a hurry to find out.
Fairly early on in the process, the shared circulatory system shares powers between the two (or more. Being joined to a person doesn't prevent them from fusing with others). The other person starts to gain the ability to fuse, and if that person was a mutant, then Conjoiner will start to gain the powers of the mutant. Conjoiner seems to gain powers much faster than the other way around. The gained powers on both sides fade after separation, with Conjoiner's powers usually gone from the other party within a day or two, and Conjoiner keeping his borrowed powers much longer, although how long depends on the power and the length of time joined. Nobody is quite sure what would happen if he joined with someone with regen, but everyone is pretty sure that they don't want to find out.
Normally I wouldn't quote something so old, but I like this idea so much that I have to ask if I can use it.

Is the result no larger than a normal person? Can he systematically absorb every person on earth? Does it work with non-humans like Sidhe, GOOs, or Tennyo? (probably not) Does Jinn count as a person in this case? (probably not)
Overall, I approve! Much fun can be had with The Conjoiner.
More seriously, things should get interesting if/when the nervous systems start to fuse. For some real world weirdness along those lines, see Krista and Tatiana Hogan. They have the closest thing anyone has seen to telepathy.

Their identical appearance initially creates rivalry, and they continuously pull pranks on each other, which ultimately leads to a school event/class being crashed by their mischief. As punishment, they must live together in an isolated dorm (and eat together at an "isolation table") for the remainder of the term. After finding out that they both come from single parent homes, they soon realize they are twin sisters and that their parents, Mitch and Maggie, divorced shortly after their birth, with each parent having custody of one of them. The twins, each eager to meet the parent she never knew, switch places. They drill each other on the other's behavior and lives, and Susan cuts Sharon's hair into the same style as hers. While Susan is in Boston, Massachusetts masquerading as Sharon, Sharon goes to Carmel, California pretending to be Susan.
The only reason this is a bad idea is because it's unoriginal.

I specifically mentioned mercury because the video I watched on the topic mentioned that a layer of mercury on the bottom is too heavy to be pushed through the siphon by the water.

There was one nuclear reactor design that had this as a safety feature. It used a metal with a low melting point as a plug, so that if the reactor go too hot, the plug would melt, and the radioactive liquids would flow down to a separate chamber where they would be safely contained.
This was a design that was considered, and rejected as too expensive, for Fukushima...

The reason i meantioned Jade is because she can easily pull it off in a way that is hard to detect, like instead of one big siphon, loads of them in the walls of the cups just large enough for water based liquids and coffee to travel through, in foam or wax paper, of course in foam you have the problem of the tubes being broken by grip, so instead of going through the bottom, a smaller amount will end up on their hands

Everything is going well until he gets to Whateley. Then he starts seeing strange symbols around certain people in Poe. [Also around others in other cottages but most are in Poe] Thinking that that has to do with them being nut jobs so he lets it go. Until the symbols keep jumping from person to person almost communicating. They begin to drive him mad. As no one believes him and no one can detect these 'symbols' or 'broken words'. Then symbols begin to drive people together or against one another. He starts drawing the symbols to say that they are real, but its pretty much insanity inducing to look at so they commit him to Arc Black.

You could combine the traits. Requiring Gadgeteer for the guns and wizard for the ammo.

I've actually tried to categorise them a while back.
I'd argue Ren would qualify as a form of empath. (This was revealed after I tried categorising them)
Weiss seems more like a warper with most of her abilities coming from dust rather than her innate talents. Her summoning is likely a manifestor ability.
After spending way more time thinking about Ruby than I should, one of the things I found is that her "speed" seems more like a PK effect than an energiser one. For 1: she's double-jumped, 2: her starting in the food fight doesn't show her running until after she's already accelerated, 3: her bizarre interactions with rose petals.

I think that being able to survive anything is going to make less of a difference than the exemplar mental package. Survivor is more about the social game and decoding idol clues than actually surviving. Watching a season with a bunch of exemplars would be several times more complicated that a normal season.
Despite not being an exemplar (at least initially), Jessie would have a very good chance at manipulation others. Speaking of, telepathy, or even just empathy, would also mix things up dramatically.

Thing is, he did those steampunk panels simply out of practicality -- the original membrane panels were shot, spares are no longer available, so he designed and made his own. The artistic aspect of it was sorta... serendipitous. He does not set out do do anything artistic -- he thinks mostly of the functional aspects of a thing. But more often than not, the result is unexpectedly cool. Like when he painted an old refrigerator (a square-top GE Monitor -- similar to the one picture below) bright orange. Well, he intended it to be just the primer, but when my sister saw it, she begged him to leave it that color. For years, we had fun asking friends new to our home to fetch something from the fridge... they often could not find the fridge, because it didn't look like their concept of a fridge.
Decades later, it happened again... he was restoring another old family fridge (a Fifties-vintage Philco, identical to one that can be seen in early "Angel" episodes), and used some dark blue paint he had around as primer. Again, my sister told him to leave it blue. So instead of covering it with white, he gave it a smooth finish. It's now in my living room, cooling beer and making my house "cool" by its sheer presence.

Remember Steph is working in a very specific field of stage-set design, so she has to cater to the tastes of her customers, who are trying to achieve specific statements through the decor that they choose.
For an example that's closer to what you are thinking of, try Hydroflux, and her bathroom/plumbing designs.
For versions of furniture that are found in OUR narrative universe, have a look at https://www.opendesk.cc/ and some of the ways that people have been extending them by building in modules for wireless charging of mobile devices through the use of induction coils.
