Oleander is well-versed in good study habits. As he investigates a place, he verbally describes each little detail that he sees, and that helps him make sense of what he's seeing; it might even gain him some new insight on this scene.
On places:
Oleander has traveled to many places in his lifetime for his job, yet he still has so much left to learn about the world at large. Now it's bigger than ever. He doesn't know how to feel about that yet.
On yapping:
Being restricted on the grounds of keeping up his reputation has left him deeply unsatisfied whenever he exists in silence. He'll yap to people and plants and even inanimate structures. He'll start talking to himself if he must; it's a good studying habit anyway. Oleander needs all he can to study the cases he's working on. He can't let a single detail escape him in court.
On information:
The internet is a vast place, and he often uses it to go down rabbitholes because of a related subject in a case. He'll always watch timelapses as a way to calm down, and this has inevitably led to more familiarity with how various things age over time.

A combination of Martial Arts, from Boxing to Muay Thai and beyond, to the imaginary. The heartiest punches carve through the air as blue energies trace the fist's trajectory - spiritual power is concentrated, creating a flow that shatters itself upon an enemy.
It appears that Judge Madden takes the best characteristics from a few fighting-game archetypes. Among these, he appears to be an excellent Grappler - an unbalanced one, at that.
On Fighting: This game's hitboxes are bullshit, dude. This guy can grab me from a mile away!
On Flaire: Madden's power comes from within, his skill, his soul - be it real, artificial, or a farce entirely. Channeling his desire for victory transfers his energy into his hands, carving the air and crashing it down upon a foe like waves to rocky shores.

Jenn reaches into some pocket or other location that probably shouldn't fit a whole knife in it (let's be honest - usually it's her cleavage) and pulls out up to three knives to immediately start juggling with. She usually winks, too, but mostly observers can't tell through her cool shades.

Jakob Bosch has discovered a new use for his flesh-melding abilities. He summons a imp-like creature he affectionately named "Pus" to work on whoever he's targeting, the fleshy being hops from point to point on the body and does it's best to quickly fix whatever physical ailments the target is under. After it's completed it's work, the being screams in agony as he infinitely folds in on himself, spraying small bodily fluids in a dome around him.

The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.
