HELPFUL TIP:

When planning a cast member's talents and skills, think about how genetics, personality traits (both positive attributes and flaws), past experiences, environment, and the character's roles (within a family, a community, and society) all factor into what strengths may form. These special qualities should tie into the story, not only to make the character interesting but also to help him achieve his goal.
DEFINITION:
Being extremely pleasant and delightful to the point of winning others over

DESCRIPTION:
With this gift, a character has the ability to communicate one's sincerity and trustworthiness through speech, saying the right thing at the right time to persuade, get out of trouble, or talk oneself into places and events that are off limits. A charming person always sounds reasonable, trustworthy, and is able to persuade the people around them. This skill can be used for good or ill, depending on how self-serving one's aims are.

BENEFICIAL STRENGTHS OR ABILITIES:
Being articulate and personable
Thinking on one's feet
Having a strong command over one's own emotions
An easy-going nature
Being able to read body language and micro-expressions
Displaying calm under pressure
Having humor and wit and using them to one's advantage
Having a pleasant face, smile, and appealing tone of voice (some accents naturally draw people in such as Scottish, Irish, Australian or South African accents)
