(You get to start out with one that doesn't get numbered, hah.)
McCoy doesn't really advertise this particular skill set, but he's an excellent marksman. Of course, to qualify for an away team off a Starship at all you need to pass your Phaser Qualifications, so most of the crew of the Enterprise is half-decent at hitting what they're aimin' for. Jim, for instance, is an excellent shot with a Phaser - quick on the draw and fast on the trigger - but the fact is that Phasers have a stopping power that is only minimally related to where you hit your target. As long as it's not a graze, which will result in an annoying and painful third degree burn on your skin, you'll drop your target, whatever setting you've got the Phaser on

1. Dean's favourite subject in school wasn't PE - it was math. Sammy was all English Lit. and history, and just because Dean had it up to here with the general reading thing at home and hated having to do it at school as well, Sammy tended to assume that Dean hated school on principle. Dean let him, because otherwise he'd have had to explain the whole trigonometry thing to Sammy, who sucked at it (HA!) and the quickest way to kill your interest in something is trying to explain it to someone else

1. It's no secret that Jim underplays his smarts. He likes to be underestimated, because when people underestimate you, they don't expect anything from you. It's... a lot easier, that way. Outsmarting people when they don't expect it is something he can do. Living up to other people's expectations - not so much.
(Now, living down to other people's expectations... he's an expert.)
2. It's politically incorrect to call it gypsy blood, but that's more or less what it is; Jim Kirk is not a man who feels comfortable with routine. He can stick to a project, sure, and the Academy is easy because the schedule changes for every semester, new people coming in, graduates leaving - infallibly, by the time he manages to remember his timetable, it's exam time and those courses are done with and he can move on.
He does want to leave San Francisco, sometimes. He's never stuck himself in a place this long since he was eighteen and the itch to take off, to buy a ticket to nowhere and just move, is hard to manage sometimes. So he doesn't

I'm so gonna play. And be greedy (but seriously though, you don't have to do all the characters I suggest).

1. Castiel, as an entity, is merely an extension of God's love, and humans tend to underestimate God's richness of tolerance, patience and kindness. Castiel does not judge; it is not his place.
2. On the other hand, God gives every one of his messengers a certain degree of autonomy. Castiel finds himself without conviction on a number of subjects and it is... refreshing. Dean and Sam, are on the whole, operating in a somewhat morally gray area, and Castiel finds himself admiring them, because while they do not understand evil to even a fraction of the degree Castiel does, they do still fight it. Even Sam.
3. Castiel has known that he is going to Fall since his third meeting with Dean Winchester. He is alright with the prospect - he's looking forward to experiencing free will for himself.

I'm slowly working my way through these as the need for distraction arises - hope you don't mind the lateness ;)
Also, this is one of the ones that refuses to be an itemized list...
Every summer, from the age of five, Pavel Chekov stayed with his grandmother - his father's mother - in Přerov in the Czech Republic.
Lenka Novaková was something else. In her house, there was only one rule: to wash your hands before dinner. Everything else was figured out as they went along.
Pavel went through periods of hating those summers and loving them; sometimes his grandmother's insistence on his not burying his nose in books drove him crazy, because he wanted to learn everything and she was somehow barring him from more knowledge by making him help around the house, or at the hospice where she worked
