over the years, and partially as a result of the intense discipline and focus that writing requires, my sixth senses have developed to a degree way beyond what i was able to do as a child. i was the sort of kid who sensed things and knew things and said things and quickly learned that other people didn't quite perceive the world in the way i did. i've studied tarot for seven or eight years now, and read professionally.. i can even read online, in fact, if the person gives me a specific issue as a kind of tag or hook. i also use a lot of my own paranormal experiences in my books... only other people call it fantasy

[PERCON]

I'm back guys, you can plug your ears with something now as I begin my ramble about science...

I don't percieve anything is this world as other do. As a matter of fact, being very scientifically minded I don't think like other people at all, for example someone is sitting still on a park bench, of course if I was to be fully open with that person I'd walk up to them and say this:

"Well, do you realise you're hurtling through space on a rock at an amazing speed, you're not sitting still at all, it's due to glorious gravity that you can stay on that bench, respect gravity in all it's glorious glory" , however I'd then get a blank look and I'd walk away feeling a little rejected.

I see every moving object in terms of the forces acting on it, I see every human life on this planet as an something which, if it wanted, could help raise our scientific knowledge, I see every animal on this planet as a marvel of evolution, I see the blue sky as a consequence of our wonderful atmosphere, I see green grass as something which, to me, is rather odd being green in the first place, why not purple? I see each day as a cycle for both us and animals carrying out their endlessly repetitive lives not knowing that one day soon they'll all be wiped out, and I see me as someone stuck in the thick of it all wondering why no one else sees things the way I do...

Because chlorophyll is green, which makes the grass green. Why is chlorophyll green?
Heck if I know.

I'll listen to you ramble Percon, I'm into that stuff.

Actually, I have days when I have a similar problem. One morning, 3 am actually, I explained to the girl who lived across the hall from me how to build at bomb.
That didn't go over too well considering the bomb I was telling her how to build had just gone off an hour and a half ago on the first floor of our hall.
I can do the equations for the distillation of x fluid, but I can't add without a calulator.
I'm insanely logical, but I work in the world of theater and english, so I simply draw what I see, my acting is simply very convincing imitation, and I can figure out how something works by just looking at it. (About half the time.) And I really mystify people when I say, "Oh that's easy. Just..." What I think happened to me was I was raised by engineers and mistrained in mathamatics, so that left the arts as the only opition.
So I can say I know what you're talking about, and I do, but I don't think I explained it well...
Maybe I should stop...

So how 'bout those special power we were talking about a while ago.

[PERCON]

I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about, it makes me slightly more sane, lol.

Yea the special powers, I'm not wuite sure what specific powers they were but I've mentioned elsewhere in the forums about nanobots, a great scientific miracle in a way, little robots that react to molecules and fit them together depending on what commands have been given the the bot. This may not have anything to do with the powers yet but let me finish , It'll make sense in a minute.

These nanobots could be used to repair skin immensly quickly (actually they were on Doctor Who if you watch it) it all sounds fictional but very real in a few decades or so, they could be used to create food out of nothing, could be used to build buildings, used in space, used to find cures to diseases, used to find adopted kids real parent, the possibilities are endless...

Anyway the special powers of predicting things with the mind could, in a way, be given to everyone. These nanobots would bring about the use of nanotechnology and that's where the brain implants would start. Using nanobots to detect the different parts of the brain a nanochip (like bluetooth nowadays) could be implanted and connected up with the part of the brain needed for it's function and then receive information from the internet and download it into the mind and memory. This way people could predict things amazingly quickly because they'd be able to download knowledge and therefore their understanding of predictability would increase. In theory people could eventually control an entire business by sitting at home and letting the nanochip do the talking and the working for them...

A stunning reality in about 40 years, we need cloned stem cells to test it on though please government, let us use them!

I have the incredible ability to make various food items disappear for about 6 hours.

No one has ever really been interested in seeing them re-appear, though.

[PERCON]

Well, the human digestive system had to be mentioned at one point in time in a forum, you've read it here first folks! That is of course unless NSMike can make food disappear a different way that I could never have possibly imagined.
Mike that's not a challenge...

I know this sounds daft but believe me its true my power, so to speak, is to see things that no one else can. No im not a nutter and god/ lucifer havnt spoken to me (yet! )
For example I have seen dragons in flight, spirits and pixies at the bottom of my garden! also I have seen things alot nastier than that, I wont go into detail!
I have gotton stigmatised for this alot so now I just dont tell people, in person that is.

Same happened to Sir Conan Doyle, so you're in good company.

[Eradius Lore]

at a mates house we came into his house, (me first him second) i pushed the door closed and when it was about 4" from closing my mate stoped it dead, without touching it and without having anything in it path, for about 3 seconds we looked at each other that i just moved my hand up towards the door and it litrely slamed shut.

other strange things happen to me and my mate like when we went for a walk down to the next town (a mile away) to go to the shop. it was a totaly scorching day with not a cloud in the sky, so naturaly whe wore t-shirts. 1/4 of the way there clouds litrely appeared out of nowhere, and the most violent downpoar we ever seen came down on us, we where soaked through 10 sec later. when we got to the shop natuaraly it was closed. then we get back to my place, and behold the weather was back to how it was before, clear sky and hot temeratures. either i have very bad timing or somebody really hates me

one more thing is that i can see perfectly in the dark, i mean i can see as if its day, its very fun if your walking down a creepy lane with mates, you just crouch down, wait for them to pass, and then lunge at them, it really freaks people out.

I am sort of a Cliché. If i say things like "wouldn't it be funny if ..." they tend to come true, much to the dissapointment of my friends

In my book which has yet to be developped the characters use real talents as their powers...like singing or dancing or meditating to crush the enemy does that count??

Urm... well... thats still in a book, so NO

[Azash]

Maybe Asmer20's power is the ability to create brilliant stories without any inspiration
