So...Just send me your lists, Playgrounders. If I don't have time to make all your dreams come true, I'll literally MAKE the time.
Dear Santa,

I've been a relatively good fungus this year. It's been months since I've caused anyone physical harm or discomfort - even sneezing! I'm working on moving to a better apartment so my kitty will be happier with more room to run and play and have more people to pet her.

I would like three presents. That's all I really need as they will likely fill all of my needs for the remainder of my years. First, I would like the Darkness Manipulation power. Second, I would like the Spatial Manipulation power. Lastly, I would like the Sleep Inducement power. With these powers I feel I will be able to excel at my job as well as provide presents for all the people on my holiday shopping list without having to pay for shipping and handling.

Thank you very much, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable season and a wonderful next year,

-gw

I got:

Quote:
Energy Blasts


Ability To:

Control and manipulate energy emission.

The power to discharge a power energy ray from one’s hands. Also known as Energy Emission or Power Blasts.


Capability

The rays can knock over or even obliterate objects/people, while slightly burning them. High level users can discharge powerful nova from one’s body.
That's like. Magic Missile! Woohoo!

What would I use it for?
I have no idea. I'm not heroic enough to go fight crime with it, so I'd probably just use it to go skeet shooting or something for fun.

More than you think.
Mirror Manipulation for me. Nice power for a barrier warrior, at least as far as light/vague 'energy'/magic attacks are concerned, or hell, with physical attacks too, unless my opponent wants a fist-full of broken glass and seven years bad luck. Also, my own personal transport and jail for the villain who just keeps coming back. Nice!

I did a 'just for fun'/secondary power re-roll and got what could be one of the coolest things ever:


Electronic Communication


Quote:
Power to:


manipulate electronic transmissions
The powers to intercept, interpret, and generate binary electronic, digital, and radio transmissions with one's mind. Also known as Digital Communication, Cyperpathy, and Telemetry.


Capability

The user can send a binary message without the typing capriciousness, and can easily read messages from remote distances without accessing the medium of communication. The user is in essence a living internet hub.

Can communicate over voicemail (using the female voice), texts, emails, instant message, beepers, and even high level users can alter live video dialogue or subtitle, as well as video-games.
Bolded the important parts:

-The user is in essence a living internet hub.
- high level users can alter live video dialogue or subtitle, as well as video-games.


How cool is that?

Shadows Bend to My Will

I'm another Darkness Manipulator (COOL!)

I would become a batman-style hero, using my powers and martial arts training to put an end to as much crime as possible, bringing down corrupt organizations and more petty crime. Most notably, I'd try to take money from the corrupt and give it to the poor and the starving. All in all, I'd just try and do my best to make the world a better place.

Meh, if I can't at least get to the point where I can destroy continents with my ability to repel photons then i'll be dissapointed. But i'm creative. Repel all the photons into a single dense area then project them at someone all at once while screaming KAMEHAMEHA!! at the top of my lungs.

I love that you got that, and your avvie is BB.

For my retry, I get: Night Vision

Well, it's useful if not particularly fun or powerful.

I'll try a third just because: Tracking Evasion
Well that goes nicely with Night Vision. I think I'd enjoy hide and seek.

Electrical transportation?

Sooo, I don't know... I can project my conciousness into data-systems by touch, travel through any electrical cord, manipulate programs at will seem nice.

... but won't I get a nasty chock if someone starts trying to hack me while in the system?
Or if I catch computer-viruses?
And what the heck will happen if I meet KuReshtin?

But I think I'll save my powers for the robot apocalypse and be a superhero for the survivors.
Maybe I could even initiate it.

Ecological Empathy

Quote:
The power in which one’s emotions and nervous system are psychically sensitive to one’s surrounding ecosystem, and wildlife welfare. Also known as Environmental Awareness or Nature Sense.

...The user may feel blissful and become physically enhanced if their immediate environment is operating naturally. Furthermore the user may feel scared, anxious, feeble, or even frenzied if the bio-network is not behaving naturally due to foreign violation.
Well, its not much of a power... more like an ability. I'd probably spend a lot of time outdoors, move somewhere in the mountains, and use a lot of environmentally friendly products.

We'd team up and create the most awesomest team ever.
You'd be able to project your conciousness into the electrical systems, and while you're in there, I can still communicate with you and relay things to others.
Just think of the spy-stuff we'd be able to pull off with that compbination of powers.

Or, we'd get rich. You hack into the system by actually going into the system, and I'll keep an eye out for and foil any incoming attempts at detecting you.

you may be heat-proof but you need oxygen to breathe right? guess what a swirling vortex of fire centred around you sucks out of the vicinity? the winds generated by it should keep you from moving and the lack of oxygen should suffocate you.

EDIT: i got Glass manipulation so i can encase you in a sphere of glass (sealed) hover it over the edge of a skyscraper then generate a vortex of fire inside it to use up the oxygen, you are now trapped inside a sealed glass sphere with no oxygen and about 40 stories up in the air. how do you get out?
