I can make any stop light turn red at the exact wrong time. Also, I can kill you with my brain.

[Quantum Toast he/him]

I'm not sure how apathy would work as a Talent, but I'm pretty sure it'd be mine.

If you think I didn't catch that reference, it's too bad I'm thinking of growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

[Ironeyes]

Losing stuff. Happens on a daily basis.

[Strawberry Eggs she/her]

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.

[Djando Je he/him]

The inability to pay attention to whatever I should be paying attention to.

[Strawberry Eggs she/her]

Maybe I should change mine to dropping things. I'm very "good" at that.

[Aeshdan he/him]

I think my real Talent is doing incredibly stoopid things, but with the side power of somehow being protected from the consequences of my stoopidity. So I could charge an entire army and not get seriously hurt.

[happyman he/him]

My talent is absent-mindedness. (Think absent-minded professor. There's a reason it's a stereotype.)

Usefulness, usefulness. Hmm. Maybe if I don't notice that something happened (like that somebody shot me), it didn't really happen! Of course, it would have to have an important caveat not to be over-powered.

[Observer]

I piss people off. It's seriously to the point of being supernatural. Put me in the same room with another person and I can have them spitting fire within an hour. It's mostly under control, but at toally random times I'll whip out an overly whitty insult that hits far too close to the mark, and a few minutes later I'm out the door wiht a bruised butt and a smarting sense of pride.

It's scary.

[NutiketAiel he/him]

Incredibly sloppy handwriting. I already have this, but a Smedry talent would take it to previously unknown heights. I suspect you'd need a set of translator's lenses to read what I write.

My talent, in any contest, whatever side I openly cheer for looses.

[Darebear]

I can pick up and move objects without realizing it. When I was little I constantly lost things and left lego bricks everywhere and in my high school physics class I kept stealing the kilogram masses. Some of the objects I have taken should really bo too big for me not to notice.

This one is mine, too. My parents would claim I would sometimes walk through a room with something in my hands. Five minutes later, they would ask me where I put it, and I would just stare at them blankly and claim I never touched it. I honestly didn't remember it. As a Schmedry talent, that could be devastating, and more than a little surreal.

[FaeMofo]

I already have mine, the ability to trip over nothing and everything at the same time. If i was a smedry, i could fall at extremely timely moments or trip over a trapdoor i didn't know existed until then

[Oathbringer he/him]

One of my favorites would be throwing with incredibly bad aim, but at the same time having incredibly good aim at something entirely different.

[The Rangress]

Hitting things. Banging my head against the wall, my hand against the doorframe, my foot against the chair... And, of course, my finger against the button and my fist against the Librarian.

[Carcinios he/him]

Mine is procrastination.

 

I put everything off till tomorrow.

 

Including things like serious wounds

[Tarontos 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.

[variety.of.passions she/her]

Well, I already have a Talent for speaking gibberish, looking completely ugly in the morning, tripping, loosing stuff, and breaking things. I think I just might be the greatest Smedry ever!

 

But coming up with one, I think my Talent would have to be singing off-key. (Note: I don't know if that's one from there series or not; I'm only half-way through book 3.)

[TapeMonkey]

Mine would be being really bad at keeping secrets. :3

I don't think that one's in the books anywhere, but given what "bad dancing" is capable of, I don't think I'd want anything valuable near you...

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