What's YOUR Talent?

[happyman he/him]

 I thought the point of this thread was to come up with a new Talent that applies to you--not necessarily from the books...

 

Yeah, I was trying to answer your question about whether Brandon had used it.  So congratulations!  I think you got one that isn't in the books.

[variety.of.passions she/her]

Oh, thank you!

[Serial]

Hmmm... I suppose procrastination could be a tallent

[Rime]

I'd have to go with *uncomfortably* cold hands.

Add feet to that, and you could walk on water.

[Dalinar he/him]

...I'm really good at tipping over pictures, and hitting my knees on the corner of tables.

My talent is the most amazing of all. The Picture Not Perfect Knee Corner Hit talent!

[Cromptj he/him]

Have you seen my title? Seriously, I once put off going to the doctor about a broken finger for eight weeks. It was crooked and couldn't be bent for the whole of that time as well.

[Baine he/him]

My Talent would be knocking things down/over. Chairs, people, vases, glass things... 

 

...Buildings...

 

"Whoops, there goes the Library of Congress!"

 

It would be an extremely combat-oriented talent.

[Grayv he/him]

Mine would be sleeping and it will be a form time travel, but sadly only into the future.

[Curiosity he/him]

In vocal conversation I have a the talent of every thing i say being completely forgotten. 

And people completely forgetting i am there.

 

Yes, this is the Talent of being ignorable. Great for infiltrating libraries!

I've been waiting to see this one in a book for a long time.

[Swimmingly he/him]

Talent of falling asleep while doing things.

[Awesomeness Summoned he/him]

The talent of browsing 17th Shard with any of four different devices at my house (whichever is closest at hand)

[theravenchilde she/her]

My Talent is info-dumping. I am the handy NPC who always has vital information for your quest just before you need it. Or don't need it. Or never will need it. It might not even be for your quest, but it's definitely important to someone, okay?

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

My talent would be stating the obvious. Like, really obvious stuff. Which is like, you know, my Talent. Being obvious is my talent, by the way. It makes me state really obvious stuff. Like really obvious stuff.

[king of nowhere]

Let's see

- my laptop crashes if it is touched on the left side (it took too many hits and must have sme weak contacts)

- i brought my bike to the mechanic three times in the last year, the last one because I somehow broke the handle (I cracked the metal in 2, don't ask me how that happened)

- i also broke several mouses

- during my undergraduate thesis in chemistry, i broke more glassware than basically anyone else.

and several other minor stuff

 

So, I have the all-powerful breaking talent. I only need to figure out how i can control it and then i can take over the world

[Baine he/him]

King of Nowhere, on your post all I see is a bunch of jumbled symbols... did you break the forum? 

[Glaring at the Survivor he/him]

Mine? The fact that my intelligence is ignored (unless nobody understands it) and my lack of intelligence is paid way too much attention to.

Or... I'm witty but misunderstood?

My talant is to become completely oblivious to my surroundings while reading.

What? Sorry, I'm reading.

Mine would likely be forgetfulness. My short-term memory is awful. The disadvantages are obvious. As benefits, perhaps I could forget that I didn't know useful information. For instance, I could forget that I didn't know any martial arts. Or I could forget that I didn't know how to pilot a ship. Or I could forget that I didn't know first aid.

Forget that you don't know how to use a sword?

Warbreaker

End up like Lightsong, charging into the enemy base, being stabbed, and saying, "That was not how I expected this to go."

Is it the one played 2v2 where when you take an opponent's piece you give it to your teammate who can place it on his chessboard on his move? That one has a different name in every country. Alas, you remind me that I haven't enjoied one in years.

Still, i fail to see how it counts as a smedry-like talent.

[Shardmancer he/him]

Thats Z house or Crazy house.. if you play FICS free internet chess server.. you can also play that in real time.. 1.0 1.0 intervals

[The Shadow he/him]

I use to have the talent to get dirty jokes approximately .3 seconds after I said something to show I didn't get it.

[SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him]

Apparently I have the ability to always be in the way. That just sounds like if I ever got in a fight I would be the one that gets hurt, which isn't cool.

[traceria she/her]

On a smaller scale than Alcatraz's talent (and apparently king of nowhere's talent), I kill computers.  Somewhere I even have a little icon to go with that.  

 

The laundry list includes:

- First laptop I ever owned, the screen one day started turning white after some time of being turned on.  For awhile it would fix itself if you shut it down and waited a few minutes before rebooting.  Eventually it really did turn into a ghost, which is what I think it wanted all along.

- First desktop I had got a virus that turned all text to gobbledeegoop.  Two friends were able to clear that off after figuring out the sypher to only have the fan go out immediately thereafter in a puff of smoke accompanied by a burning smell.  That got replaced, and I named the computer Lazarus.  Lazarus later suffered a second fan loss and recovery.  At some point I allowed him to go to his eternal rest.

- Current laptop is now dying.  The screen loves to do this flashing thing like it wants to be a strobe light.

- At my old job, I went through three computers in the six years I worked there, which is really terrible.

 

(Edit to add the bit about king of nowhere.)

[Superman he/him]

my talent would be to make terrible music.

[Surgebound Rainspren he/him]

My talent would probably be being ignored by people, I still cant think of any way that would help me.....but no one cares do they.
