The question that stands before you,

a genuine offer is given to you to become a super-being.

Ten times stronger than a human of your same build, enhanced agility, dexterity, stamina, and mental focus.

Your eye sight is now perfect, no blurryness, to eye floaters, and your vision can even zoom in too a certain extent, and gather light more efficiently allowing you to see in far dimmer light, and adjust to it in seconds.

Your skin is now incredibly durable, you could scrape a steak knife over it and have a hard time leaving even a white mark. and you can now heal a hundred times faster and very rarely leave a scar; in fact most scars would heal eventually.

and you will also gain one super-power, a specialty power, wind, fire, paperkinesis, ect... and even the ability to use magic that relates to that special power

and your life span, if you live like a total sick lazy good for nothing slob, you will live for at least 150 years. If you take care of yourself and get stronger your life span could be increased, indefinitly if you learn how.

So that is what is on the table.

What would you offer for that? (also its not a devil asking by the way, so your soul is not on the bargain table).

But the first part is up to you...what would you offer?

[TheHeartlessOne]

I would offer a reason to smile for humanity. Chiks dig guys in underpants.

[Rhuen]

I mean what would you give in payment. Like a sacrifice, aspect of your life, money, property, ect...

[Luzelius]

My normal life and the possibility to have a normal family(wife kids etc) since if i take this life not only will i have friends but great enemies, choosing a power and giving something in exchange always brings something else.

same plus my ability to hear the ability to own a house or any residence not a small wooden shack with no electricity or running water and id sacrifice the ability to own more than five dollars at a time even a wee bit of what little sanity i have and lastly id spend the rest of my life with out my right hand

[TheUnknowable]

I'd have to give up my family (unless one of them gets the deal too.), since I'm sure I'd get enemies just as strong. And I'd try and use it to help people. But I wouldn't want to become a hermit like 817819. And I wouldn't sacrifice body parts. What's the use of immortality if you're crippled?

Just a thought, would there be super-women too? Otherwise you'd risk killing anyone you slept with. Enhanced agility, dexterity, and stamina? She'd have to be super.

[817819]

not crippled or a hermit i didnt say i wouldnt leave the shack im a thief remember im not evil but ill steal food in a heart beat and as for cripled id loose one hand a bit of my sanity and my hearing not everything from the neck down

[TheUnknowable]

would you at least become a modern day Robin Hood?

[817819]

no more like a petty thief/batman style crime fighter (who deals with crimes not petty theft.) no bows id have one hand remember and wind powers

[TheUnknowable]

batman's cool. I was assuming the power was random, but whatever.

Hahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha XD i could not stop laughing after i read this >_<

batman's cool. I was assuming the power was random, but whatever.

the physical stuff is all a given, the extra power is based on a complex algarithm that takes into account your dimensional imprint and its simularity to the dimensional imprint of other matter and altering yours so it is both that of a living being and matches that of a more base substance thus extending some level of control over it based on range and the relative "strength" (force factor upon physical space) of your dimensional imprint.*simplified astral quality, astral intensity, and astral signature vs that of the elements or other forms of matter.

[TheUnknowable]

so you are alligned with an element? ok.

[Idnaceus Crow]

For such a great offers....if Humanity transcended with such great awesomeness and they used it to enlighten themselves and the rest of the universe .
I would sooo give my soul ! But not to the Devil !

If I wasn't able to give my soul...I would give up all material existence.... And even the clothes off my back.
Then their would be nothin' to steal but someones heart!

[Bard of Thorns]

For that kind of deal, I'd offer whatever chance I might have for a bland, so-so, uninteresting life. After all, that would force me to constantly live a life of change, upheaval, and action, whether I like it or not. I would always be doing SOMETHING.

[Black Widow]

love. I would give up any chance of ever loving anything or anyone. Indefinite life would mean those you loved would be outlived. It could also be a weakness given up.

[KellyScarletRakoczy]

Doing such would probably require the same as making a pact with a Patron (whether Lucifer, Belial, etc.). There is an involved "pact science." Usually, one negotiates the terms with the Patron - in my case, I agreed to more than one term. It is beneficial for both of us.

However, if there was just one thing to give up, some extraordinary thing, I can't think of anything I would give up (wouldn't be any of the arts). It sounds like an exchange I couldn't do. It would have to be a great sacrifice whatever it would be.

[Rhuen]

You know things like money, and worldly possessions are on the table too offer people. Or I don't know servitude for specific lengths of time (like joining the military, mercinary work for so many years...ect)

When you offer something, it should be something the other party can use in some way. Granted "aspect of your life" wasn't clear on that and is somewhat abstract.

[TheUnknowable]

depending on who was giving it to me, being a mercenary might be on the table. If I could trust them and generally followed what they believed in, it would be easy to work for them. But if not, I doubt I could do that.
And if I had anywhere near the ammount of money that it would take to truely pay for something like that, I wouldn't need those powers.

[Roewan]

For an opportunity to make a difference? Probably anything.
