If you could instantly gain one REALISTIC ability?

[Doclector]

Enough strength that 99% of people would not be able to stop me. Although, I'd rarely actually hurt people, I think, I'd just use it to intimidate people.

*at bank* I'm going to talk to the manager
Cashier; You have to make an appointment!
No, I don't.
Guard; You can't go back there.
And you'll stop me how? I'll be back in an hour tops.

Either that, or the ability to attract women. Something I lack COMPLETELY.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Eternal life.

Don't say it isn't realistic, those jellyfish have it.

To quote an awesome song, "Who wants to live forever?" To outlive everyone you love, to have no possible way to die, to outlive the end of the world as we know it? Not thanks! I mean, what if, for the sake of argument, a meteor struck the earth and caused you to get blown into space? You'd be hurtling through space forever with no hope of escape!

OT, I think I'd like superhuman hearing. It would make listening to music infinitely more pleasurable.

 

[Right Hook]

Probably a vastly superior intellect, it would make learning new things easy so I wouldn't even have to study or put any effort into classes, also it would probably make it so I could get some recognition in whatever field I went deeper into.

 

[guidance]

Because I'm lame, I would say to be really, really good at parkour, not really to make money or anything like that, I would just love to show off.

This guy knows where it's at.

 

[Seanfall]

Being good enough with my voice and an instrument to be able to mimic other singers exactly. Vegas here I come!

 

[Ninjafire72]

camouflage. Cameleons can do it, why can't I?

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

The ability to dance, any dance. Break dance, river-dance, ballroom dance, all of and to be able to do it the best there ever was.

This would also come with the ability to do back flips because back flips are needed for dancing.

I was gonna say be able to seduce any woman in the world but this is basically the same thing.

 

[malestrithe]

Ability to focus on an idea so much that when I choose to write it down, it's immediately publishable.

supposedly this is how Kurt Vonnegut wrote his novels.

 

[Darknacht]

Be amazingly good at football.

20 million a year in wages and sponsorship deals? Yes please!

And lots of brain damage. I would rather be really good at playing the stock markets, or being a entrepreneur, or computer programing, or simply the ability to be Bill Gates, or even being really good at a sport that isn't likely to leave you with brain damage.

 

[guitarsniper]

To have retroactively lived my entire life at 1 mile plus of altitude (and having exercised a lot more)

 

[Nouw]

One? Only one? It'd have to be dancing or beatboxing. Both for fun. I don't want to suddenly be good at something I want to do in life, that would be boring and unfair.

 

[spectrenihlus]

Crazy hacking skills.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Fli--

Oh, realistic, damn. Then, I'll copy those superhuman dudes that can hold their breath for minutes a time, doing free dives to cool depths without equipment. That must be wonderful, doing that. And, I'd love to be a great swimmer, if I can snag the combo deal. Near weightlessness and freely spending so much time underwater just seems blissful.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

I would like to be an incredible dancer. I'm an actor by trade, and I've lost out on a few roles because I'm a mediocre dancer. I guess it isn't the end of the world. My friend Hugh (Broadway's current Phantom of the Opera) doesn't dance either, and he's sitting on the cushiest job on the Great White Way. He likes to joke "I'm an actor who walks."

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Being able to draw/create illustrations. Seriously, I want to draw all the characters that I have created in my fictional writings because they are so many and completely awesome.

 

[crudus]

A fluency is a few languages would be great.

 

[Durgiun]

Be an incredibly skilled and famous writer like Stephen King so I have a good income and am praised.
