Superpowers and side effects

[H_K]

SE: But you only know after you've made the decision... so sometimes you can't go back 

SP: The ability to change identities on command if you see someone you know and want to avoid in the far distance in public 

[Duck The Guy]

SE: this power only works once. upon changing, you are a completely different person, one who doesn't have this ability in the first place

 

SP: whenever i take a picture, i can then use that picture to travel back in time to that place and relive that moment, with the ability to go back using my camera/phone

[MondoBilby]

SE: Past you is also in those locations, so you have to stay completely hidden from them unless you want a time-shattering paradox to occur (travelling back in time itself is already pushing it’s limits, bucko)

 

SP: After an unsuccessful argument, any good comebacks I think of later travel into the person I was arguing with’s head (like a little whispery voice going “um, actually”)

[ABC]

SE: That person also gains the same power, so the debate continues telepathically between both of you, distracting both of your minds when you should’ve, could’ve been doing other things. The desire to win the debate engulfs intensely to the point both of you start withdrawing from school/work/family/friends, at least both of you still eat, drink, and use the toilet, but you have lost interest in everything else except trying to win this debate that’s always stuck in a draw due to all the comebacks, only living to keep researching for and telepathically exchanging debate points to each other. The debate only ends after one of you dies first, be it natural or unnatural causes. You both have wasted years of life just to impossibly try winning a debate.

SP: I can duplicate perfect copies of real life objects (think cloning but objects, so the clones are at the same state of the original but different copies are separate to the original)

SE: everything you touch duplicates 

SP: I can control lightning 

[ABC]

SE: You are limited to 3 usages, and if you set the voltage powerful enough to kill, you die too.

SP: Antigravity

[WizardGrayFire]

SE: spacetime shenanigans

SP: i can understand and express my emotions without being awkward about it/permanently altering my relationships

[H_K]

SE: You can only talk to plants and animals

SP: I can make my hair grow really long or really short at command but it's all an illusion so it won't get tangled to anything nor do I need to brush it or take care of it

[ABC]

SE: Then physically, all the object collision detection for your head is treated as though it was a bald head, because you said the hair’s an illusion. You’re permanently bald in the real physical world, if anything falls on your head, being bald, it’d hurt more than had there been real hair covering the skin, the hair is just a hyperrealistic hologram that looks just like the real thing but it’s untouchable. Prepare to get suspicious looks when someone makes contact with the hologram of your hair by accident.

SP: I can edit the history of my own personal life, effectively, editing myself into a different version of myself. Such as for example, if I got a bad life experience, I can delete it, or edit it so that it’s replaced with a neutral or good life experience, or even replace it with a different bad experience that’s milder, and the spacetime paradoxes will happen accordingly and suddenly alter the present according to the modification of history tampering.

In simpler explanation, let’s say I choose to edit the experience of a young child who didn’t study and failed a test, overwritten into a young child who did study for said test and passed it. Or, let’s say I choose to delete the occurence of a traumatic experience. Then, the present suddenly becomes drastically different due to the natural consequences of time paradoxes.

[WizardGrayFire]

SE: these paradoxes are dependent on so many variables as to make them entirely unpredictable. if every change you make goes your way, you might end up with the most neutral, boring life as even the minor inconveniences cease to exist. otherwise, you may end up deleting one trauma only for a worse one to happen later in your personal history, or for the same trauma (or something else terrible) to happen to some other people, maybe even those close to you. also, because you’re altering your past and not merely your memory, there’s a chance you lock/softlock yourself in a timeline; you could delete the moment you got the power, if you weren’t simply born with it, and you could delete the moment you realized you had the power. assuming that the realization at least happens after some trauma, you have to take a gamble if you want to remove it. combine that with the fact that you’re only seeing the results up to that point, and maybe the future of one of the timelines with an awful past is actually incredible or vice versa. if your goal is to live in the best timeline, you’d need to retry every combination at regular intervals in the future, which wouldn’t be certain to be possible because you might forget you have the power in the process.

SP: i can fly

[ABC]

SE: But the Y-plane of you floating/flying is limited to the tallest height you can jump, so at least you can fake long-jumping by essentially floating in that height cap. It’s not really flying but more like floating.

SP: I can literally go missing and disappear into a private realm if I wanted to, and if I enter, food and water supplies, clothes I’m wearing and my most important items (in this case my devices + chargers) can be taken into it. The dimensions of the realm is the size of a small bedroom with 1 bed and 1 fully functioning bathroom, they are built-in and will forever stay in perfect condition.

This realm would be undetectable in location, but somehow still have internet access + cellphone signal, it’s just that location trackers will fail when I’m in my private realm. I can also get back out whenever I’ve had enough escaping real life temporarily. Also, time still passes the same as Earth time so all the clocks will still be correct whilst inside it.
