You are a Contractor. What is your power and what is its trigger? What is your price?

If you think this is about building or decorating, read this:
Contractors are individuals who have gained superhuman powers due to the appearance of the Hell's Gate and Heaven's Gate. Contractors possess two other traits that give them a rather sinister reputation: the need to perform remuneration, which is a bizarre, obsessive compulsive "payment" for the use of their powers, and a generally pragmatic, Machiavellian world view.

True to their names, all Contractors must pay a price for using their powers, whether they wish to or not. Moreover, it seems that the amount of payment required is dependent on how much the Contractor uses his/her power. Although this payment can be delayed, especially in the midst of combat, it is ultimately unavoidable. Each Contractor has a unique remuneration, reflecting the chaotic nature of the Hell's Gate. Remunerations are typically difficult for the Contractor and range in severity from irritating to painful.

I have observed several things about Contractors. For one: I have noticed that those whose powers are some form of attack can use their ability multiple times before having to pay their price, while those who manipulate or nature seem to be able to use their power only once. And remember: what you hate most in your everyday life is the price you pay.

My power would be the ability of passive, instant self-healing. This would allow me to not only last longer in combat, but cheat death as well. It would also increase my lifespan. Since this power is passive I would only have to pay my price only after receiving major bodily damage (gunshots, impaling, etc.). My price would most likely be drinking pomegranate juice, since I always hated the taste.

If I were a contractor I would be able to perform home renovations while charging for materials and labor.

Those darn defense contractor's, scabbing away honest combat positions from decent hard working grunts, angers me deeply.

I always dreamed of designing and constructing a public building.

i dont remember what series its from but i know hat you are talking about.
i would like the power to open up wormholes, many at a time all connected to a pocket demension.
i would be able to open a worm hole to asorbe any attack close range or long distance and at the same time open another one that brings the attack back onto my opponit.
its also a great way to travl as long as i could see where i was going.
i could store items in my pocket demension and use it as a place of refruge sence i would be the only one to get there.

This is by far the best kind I'd want to be as long as I'm paid.

I would specialize in bay windows around communities that were surrounded by great landscape.
Of course I'd also be part of the union.

The way I read it, is that you have powers, but said strengths come with a price, the price being something dear to one self?

Well, if I would ever have a power, I would undoubtedly choose Flame Control. Mostly because fire has not only sustained life for so long, but has given warmth to more people, then any give radiator.

My price would be not being able to use my Wrist Muscles, thus leaving me unable to chop, flip, or Sautee any food, after all, I live to Cook.

Sorry if I butchered you're favorite series.

I am a Contractor. My power is to fix your PC. This is good because it keeps me employed. It is also useful if, in the event of some kind of life threatening situation that is hindered by a broken laptop, I can fix that laptop, or at least have you transferred to someone who can. The cost of that is that I have to deal with you, the retarded braindead bonehead on the end of the phone, who seems to interpret "Enter your password in the password field" as "Repeatedly bash your skull into the keyboard, piss on the floor, start a fire, then demand to speak to a manager."
