I've seen many threads about what kinds of powers people want, but let's go for something a little different: powers based off your personality.

Like in Misfits, for instance, the characters have personality-based abilities, like the shy guy can turn invisible, the party girl can turn on men (and women!) with a touch, ect.

The catch is, the powers you get will be difficult to control for a while after you get it, and might make life more difficult.

Example:

I tend to have a bit of a mercurial personality, so my power would change with my mood. For instance, I could create fire when I'm angry, generate light when I'm happy, move the earth when I'm calm, manipulate water when I'm sad, ect.

But like I said, my mood tends to shift, so it might make things a bit awkward...

EDIT: Also, I do want to see some thought put into these posts, a little variety is nice...

If I lived in the Misfits world it would be highly likely I'd actually become a sloth.

that or an equally lazy/not arsed animal, a slightly brain dead hamster perhaps.

I procrastinate so much that I will clearly gain the power to make time inch by even slower.

Time manipulation, bitches!

I'm quiet and don't care about anything... I guess my power would be to not care so much, that... that... well shit I don't know.

I've said before, ghost powers are best powers.
But I'm very introverted, so powers that enhance solitude suit me.
Abjuration would work well, too.

Hmm, one of my best natural skills is mental visualization, whether in terms of "seeing" events unfold as I read about them, or being able to accurately estimate the look and shape of objects I can't directly see. It has been one heck of a boon in advanced math courses.

One interesting and related ability would be to bring that skill to the external world with the power to create illusory images. Some form of clairvoyance would also be appropriate.

You're absolutely fantastic.

That's all I really wanted to say, but I suppose I have to give it a try. o.o

OT: I have the habit of behaving very differently depending on who I happen to be around. If I'm around a bunch of shy people, I'm the one that is loud and outgoing. When I'm around loud outgoing people I'm more of the shy on. etc.

So I guess I am pretty vanilla. The essence of neutral.

I think the appropriate power to accompany this would be the power to always keep my balance, like physically.

...BEST SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD!

I can suck the life force from people I don't like. The targets of my hate will become sick and start to die after one week of intermittent contact. The speed of their decline depends on the intensity of my hate. Acid slowly corroding their ability to live...

I can be in denial so hard that it alters the very fabric of reality. Watch.

Assassin's Creed is the most important work of art of our generation.

Manipulate booze like the guy does with milk in the series. Only my power would not allow it to be spilled or wasted - It'd be closer to being a magnet for it.

i can be really quiet and really loud at different times depending on mood and i work as an audio engineer, so mine would probably be able to manipulate sound around me.

I have to warm up to people, but until I do I'm slinging spaghetti like nobodies business.

So I guess I could heat things up, melt them, etc.

I'd probably be burning down buildings like crazy until I got it under control.

My main thing is creativity, so I guess a related powe would be to create random objects out of thin air
.

It's not as glorious as flight, invisibility or super strength, but its something..
