 All TCPs possess some kind of ability. It is largely unknown where these abilities come from or how they work, but in most cases the TCP is instinctively aware of what its ability is and has a general sense of what it does. TCPs that have an active ability (an ability one can choose to activate at any given time, rather than an ability that is active all the time) usually have to sacrifice health in order to use it, and repeated use over a short period of time, even with food-type material to regain health, can be incredibly exhausting for most TCPs. TCPs with passive abilities do not appear to have any sort of bodily strain as a result of the ability being constantly active, and in fact, most don't even notice it until reminded. All TCPs possess some kind of ability.

 +===== Marks =====
 +
 +Whenever a TCP kills another TCP, the killer is afflicted with a mark. Marks are harmless and purely cosmetic, appearing as a colored streak emanating from one eyespot (or equivalent facial feature). The appearance of marks varies based on the circumstances surrounding the death- a more intense death will generate a larger mark, whereas a quieter death will generate a smaller mark. The more the TCP regrets the kill, the more broken up the corresponding mark will become. Most marks are black in color, but in the case of hybrid TCPs whose components had marks, the marks will change to a color corresponding with the original owner.
 +
 +The 'rules' for acquiring a mark are somewhat difficult to determine, but the current theory is that acquiring a mark is based on a combination of intent and cause- intent being whether or not the TCP was trying to kill the victim, and cause being how directly the TCP contributed to the victim's death. Generally, having either cause or intent- or both- will generate a mark. A TCP that slips poison into a fruit knowing that it would later be used in a sandwich and fed to a specific TCP would have intent, but not cause, since it killed the TCP using an indirect method. A TCP that slips while holding a knife and stabs another TCP by accident would have cause, but not intent- and would gain a mark from the accident.
 +
 +Marks cannot be removed, and attempting to place anything on top of them to cover them up will result in the material being singed and melted, as if burned by acid. If a TCP loses the body part bearing the mark, the mark will reappear somewhere else, unchanged. TCPs have an innate sense of what marks are, although they do not seem to know the meaning of differently shaped marks- their knowledge seems limited to "marks mean killing".
