So I was in a nostalgia mood and I had a sudden memory of this old show called "Jackie Chan Adventures".
If you are unfamiliar with the show it pretties much an Indiana Jones just a show staring Jackie Chan himself well sort of. Here's the opening video of it. Yes it looks kind of cheesy but it was a good show (well not as good as the old 80's or 90's shows).
Anyway what made it awesome was in the first season; it is an adventure as they seek out the talismans before the bad guy gets them first.
The talismans are Octagon shape stone that are handheld. There are twelve of them base on the Chinese zodiac animals as each talisman had an image of one of the animal. What make these talismans awesome is that each of them contains a unique superpower.

So yeah this thread is pretty much which powers do you want type of thread but out from the selection given.
Here is what each of the talismans can do-
Rat-Animation (motion to the motionless)
It can make inanimate object come to life like a toy or statue. Be warned however depending on what you use it on, it will have the ability that it is base on (use it on a toy dragon and it will breath fire).

Ox-Super strength.
As the power implies it give you super strength to super human level. It can be use to strengthen object as well.

Tiger- Balance (spiritual not literal)
This talisman will split into two when you hold it. As it split, it will split you into two, the good you and the bad you.

Rabbit- Super speed
It pretty much makes you into a speedster

Dragon-Combustion
Upon grabbing it with your hand it will embed itself onto it thus allowing you to fire a destructive fiery beam.

Snake-Indivisibility
It turns you invisible including the clothing you're wearing.

Horse- Healing and renewal
I can instant heal you of your illnesses (foreign body), physical injury and as well repair any object broken like a broken watch.

Sheep- Astral Projection
It makes you leave out of your body and become a ghost like being. By being a ghost however you cannot possess people but you can enter people dreams.

Rooster- Levitation
Just to be clear this does NOT give you flight (you need to combine with the Rabbit talismans to make this happen) so you can only make yourself hover and object as well. It also possesses telekinesis.

Monkey- Shape-sifting
It allows you to turn yourself, other people and object into any animal of you're choosing.

Dog-Immortality
Nuff said.

Pig- Heat vision
Similar to the Dragon talisman but you fire heat beam energy from your eyes instead. It also allow you to see through as thermal vision as well.

Just to make this thread interesting you can have two talismans, one will be given to you base on your birth date (type your birth date and Chinese animal zodiac to see which animals are you) and one of your own choosing.

Example-
I was born under the year of the rabbit meaning I will be giving the rabbit talisman of super speed.
I would choose the rat talisman so that way I will travel to Japan and go to see the Gundam stature. I will use it to make it became a real mobile suit and hope into the cockpit thus I will own a real life Gundam. Also combine with the super speed I will have one hell of a speedy mech.

So which of the two talismans will be yours to use?

Oh god, I haven't watched this show in so long. Let's see, didn't the dog one make you immortal or invulnerable? I think i'd go with that one then, I would then proceed to become the most badass guy alive.

I remember loving this show!
Well I'm born under the snake so I get to be invisible which is brilliant... As for my other one... Probably be the Rabbit, super speed would be really helpful.

Since I was born in the year of the dog, that gives me the dog talisman and I'll take the Ox talisman in combination.

I used to love this show, I might have to go look up some old episodes now.

I think dog would be best in the long run. I could just outlive my enemies and a flamethrower would be just as effective as the dragon (but less cool), let me check what year I was born in.

edit: Sweet! I'm born in the year of the dog! I pick horse!

Blah, I have rat as my birth sign....sigh.

Since I only get one choice I think I'd go with horse or rooster.

You didn't qualify the degree of telekinesis awarded by rooster. If you can move objects with your mind couldn't you sit on something and then move it...allowing you to basically fly? How heavy of an object can you move with your mind etc?

If it was a decent level of telekinesis (able to move objects that weight 200 pounds or less) I'd go with that...even if it didn't mean I could actually fly (and honestly I should be able to do so but whatever).

Otherwise I'd go with horse....I could fix broken objects to get plenty of money and heal both myself and others making a positive difference in the world.

Dog is just scary...who wants to live forever.

As far as my Rat powers....do I have control over the things I make animate? If I just bring them to life and have no control over them it doesn't seem very useful at all. Perhaps I could bring angels or fairy's to life or something that would be helpful.

If I had my choice of any 2 powers though, I'd probably grab the super speed one and the rooster one......the combo would be pretty awesome. Monkey could be a blast as well, and since you can change into any animal...you could change into an animal that fly's....so I guess that is another option if you can't fly with rooster (over horse perhaps).

Maybe go with Monkey and rat then.

I'm pretty sure I was born in the year of the horse, so I have healing powers, which is close to the dog's immortality. I would choose the snake.

Shame cats get left out of the zodiac.

I just watched this show on Netflix recently... :B

Born on the year of the pig, so I get laser eyes.


After that, I'd probably get the horse. I'd like to not have to worry about gettin' sick. Also... fixing the things I break with my heat vision would be nice.

Knowing myself, I would use my powers to conquer the world [insert evil laugh]
Thus, I would pick either the Rat, the Sheep, or the Dog

If I had the Rat, I would animate the tools of the world to do my biding - armies of animated tanks and jets just sounds fun.

The sheep would be a little more interesting. I could use it to know the plans of my enemies, influence their decisions inception style, and maybe even do some insider trading to raise funds. all sorts of information age evil could be done.

The dog is self explanatory.

On the good guy powers side, I always wanted super strength

I was born in the year of the horse, so yeah- healing and repair all objects- not bad i suppose.

Given the choice, i would want the Monkey one, i could have a lot of fun shape-shifting.

1)Shape-shift into famous persons, take-self pictures in "compromising" positions
2)Blackmail such individuals into giving me a ton a cash
???
3) Profit!
