I feel like immortality is always a monkey's paw.
Can we replace it with like... Negligible Senescence?
Assuming it's not a monkey's paw (since invulnerability is also there) then:
Immortality, teleportation (to escape capture), intellect.
Also wtf is Devine Power?
Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.
It's inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you'll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.
In a billion years, you'll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.
In a few trillion years you'll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.
Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you'll eventually end up suffering forever (what's a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)
Immortality+invulnarability has to break physics somehow. Use that loophole to extract energy and build an entire civilization around yourself.
Be the immortal sun god of the endtimes.
Will probably be fun for a few trillion years.
Teleportation is also one of the options, so that solves the getting stuck somewhere problem. My concern is what immortality is like without also getting invulnerability...
Intellect, immortal, shape shifter.
Shape shifter makes the attractive male/female redundant.
Intellect will get you gadgets/implants/power suit. After a bit of work which you have infinite time to do.
Bah, thanks to my years as a shut-in tech dweeb I already have lots of Gadgets, a Feral appearance, and I Super Smell.
Why doesn't "Divine Powers" include everything else? 🤷
"Divine Powers" means you can make anything Fabulous! with just a glance.
Magic can accomplish all of this, so I choose that
Divine Powers
Immortality
Phasing
Bitches think they can bury me in a cave behind a boulder? I don't fucking think so.
That said, I do need more detail on "power syphoning." Seems like a no-brainer if you get to keep them.
Am I misunderstanding siphon powers? Add invisibility and super speed... Aita?
Feral. Radioactive. Submariner.
Sealab 2021.
Attractive female, immortal, divine powers.
But, not any major religion. Just start making flowers bloom in the name of some minor goddess that has good rules. Go around healing people and giving out free food.
See what that does to the world when basically every main religion is "wrong"
The Wiccans I know are generally good folk, what chaos when healing crystals actually start working?
Attempt to not go mad with power.
Shape Shifter, Teleport, Insanely rich.
Do you need money if you can just teleport into a bank vault, grab some gold, and teleport out? :p
Attractive female, insanely rich, and teleport. I'll have a gf, have money to finance my 1000 hobbies and help others, and never have to stand an hour in a crowded bus trying to hold in a fart again.
Insanely rich, Intellect, Invulnerable. You could totally change the world - you would be like Elon Musk with a brain. When the shitty oligarchs throw you out a window, you just bounce.
Well, immortality and invulnerability are a definite to deal with some existential dread.
Then I suppose insanely rich because you're going to need a lot of money to make investments on a forever time scale.
I feel like teleportation gets you an ability that makes money just fine. Hell, just invulnerability makes you valuable for cleaning up nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Immortal, invulnerable, teleportation
Now I can do whatever I want without having to worry about consequences.
I picked teleportation because I'd hate for example if somehow someone launched me into a sun or black hole and there was nothing I could do forever.
Being immortal an invulnerable I assume I'd be able to get rich very easily.
I also assume the following:
Psionics (a la Legion/David Haller), Divine Powers (more Legion reality-warping fun), Immorality (until the Heat Death of the Universe). I've got a lot I want to do, starting with planetary reform and cultivation of the species.
Submariner necromancy size manipulation. Hoards of tiny zombie whales and giant zombie plankton.
If I'm a plural system do we get to pick 3 for each of us? :)
If it's one set for everyone, I'm going with Shapeshifting, Healing, and the third kind of depends on how this stuff works.
Shapeshifting I'd take even if I was only allowed one power. I'd finally have a body that fits. Several of them, in fact. Some might even be human. We could swap between us physically, and turning into stuff for a while just sounds fun.
Healing because if I don't pick it I'm eventually going to regret it. Shapeshifting might already let me fix any damage that isn't incapacitating or instantly lethal, but that only applies to my own body. I'd want to be able to help others, too.
For the third power... Magic could mean a lot of things, including many on this list. Maybe it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of deal, which I'd be fine with. A bunch of spells that cover a wide range of situations but aren't as strong as specializing in a single power.
Teleport is really appealing. Lots I can do with it if I can take people or things with me, or set up something long-range that doesn't require line of sight. If it also allows me to create permanent portals then we're really going to have fun.
Or I could take Invulnerability to remove that "incapacitating or instantly lethal" weakness and really lean into being some kind of unstoppable healer. Divine Powers? Depending on what that does, it could replace Healing while also giving a bunch of other benefits. Hell, if it lets me resurrect people too, and I also take Invulnerability, then I'm basically an emergency respawn point for the entire community.
Just give me being attractive and fuck the rest.
I already have autism, PTSD and depression. I don't know if I can handle more.
Give me arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation in the simulation we live in and I'll be satisfied.
Ignoring the devine powers weather control is ridiculously op. When i was smaller i was thinking of what extremely op devil fruit you could get in ome piece and i picked weather control. You can literally strike anyone with lightning, controll air pressure, create extrelemly strong winds that are localized(air bending), create a firestorm(firebending), rain an shit(waterbending), depending on weather you count disasters as weather(i would normally not count eartquakes but floods are def weather) you can literally turn whole cities, countries to dust. Also potentially you could just spawn certain animals that are commonly found in hurricanes if we count that. Also flight probably because of the wind powers. Your temperature range is basically -100 to 100 which is also op. You could travel with 500km/h because that was the fastest wind ever recorded. You could also rain 1kg pieces of hail on people. So yeah you would be a god basically even without the devine powers. You can add immortality of course and with that you are literally a god at that point. You can add attractive male/female(which i presume means extremely attractive because youre spending a slot on it) or super speed so you can be fast while doing this shit or anything else tbh as youre already a god.
Shape shifter makes half of these redundant. I pick that, teleport, and electric control.
