Here's who i can remember: Walt, Hurley, Miles and Jacob's Brother (If we assume Claudia's ghost was really her)
Those are the ones i remember from the top of my head, are there any more?

I noticed that "special" characters either :
- Lived on the Island for a long time (Jacob, MiB, Desmond)
- Were born on the Island (Jacob, MiB, Miles)
- Eventually became the Island Protector (Jacob, Hurley, Walt)
Achara? Isaac of Uluru? Locke?
Achara? Yeah maybe, it's not really confirmed so i guess she could be faking it. Isaac on the other hand, faking it or not, claimed his home was above a "geological place of power", it is stated that the pockets originating from the island are connected all over the world. Maybe the island does have something to do with being special, maybe not. And finally Locke, what's special about him?
And finally Locke, what's special about him?
Well...
BEN: I'm very sorry for what I did to you John. I was selfish, jealous. I wanted everything you had.
LOCKE: What did I have?
BEN: You were special, John... and I wasn't.
Ben was not referring to any "powers" of sort, Locke was special to Ben because he was cured, he was a candidate, FJacob spoke to him in the cabin, not to Ben. Linus always suffered so much and got nothing in return, John did, that made him special.
I mean if we go by people who were called "special" then there are a lot of "different" kids who are special because their mom said so
I don't remember Jacob being special..? at least not in a natural way. Edit: Neither was Desmond right? he could withstand the electromagnetism and have premonitions but those were only after he turned the key. Still, thanks for these two.
Jacob wasn't; that was the whole point of showing that his brother could see Claudia's ghost, while he couldn't.
Do you count the island protector powers as being special?
Well not really, at least not in the same way. I think Walt's special is closer to Hurley than Jacob. If that even makes sense
Makes sense. However, Hurley developed his dead people powers only after visiting the island. Walt was born with it or at least was able to kill birds at a young age lol.
The only characters identified as being special are as follows:
Honourable mention
Desmond. He is unique in that he lived on the island for a long time, has the ability to see into the future and is not affected by electromagnetism like the other survivors.
Really makes me wonder if being special can also be caused. Desmond is only special after turning the fail safe and being blasted with energy. And also if there are different kind of "special" Hurley and Miles have much more of a "spiritual" power, while Walt and Desmond have "powers" that are much more logically conceivable, like projection, attraction and temporal displacement.
Also, Happy cake day, hope ur doing well.
