 * Overall Abilities: Platelets are powerless against threats. However, they are small and nimble, thus able to move through bacterium to cover up wounds under the protection of white blood cells.
 * Hemostasis: Platelets can aggregate together to close an open wound. They use a protein known as "Von Willebrand Factor" to help them, which functions similarly to super-glue. The "Coagulation Factors" in the blood will work to coat the clot with a net of Fibrin, causing it to solidify.
 * Thrombus (Blood Clot): Platelets are dragging nearby red blood cells and/or white blood cells and binding them with fibrin net to form a plug.
