Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 12:58 PM by pitohui
there isn't any particular "good" purpose to my particular power (the ability to win at cards)

i make no apology for it, should the hawk apologize for dining on the dove?

8. Chaotic good
Or perhaps 'neutral', it depends if I'm having a good hair day or not.

10. mostly good. I have several "super powers" but I seldom use them for evil
One power is turning invisible. People just don't notice me or forget me sometimes, and that's not always a bad thing, especially when I was in High School. You get away with a lot that way. Part of this is being able to be unrecognizable or to blend in with surroundings, so I guess "Camouflage" would be a better description than "Invisibility."

Another power I seem to have is empathy. The good side of that one is obvious. The bad side: I am far too good at being able to hurt your feelings. I've made people cry. I'm not proud of this side of it, but it happens sometimes.

Scrounging and making what you have work for what you need are other talents I have. Adaptability mixed with creative problem solving. Not sure this one has an evil side.

Finally, I am a good guesser. I've scored pretty well on tests that I should have failed, and can usually think on my feet and make guesstimates based on elimination. The downside here is that I have been unable to use this talent with things like gambling.

Unfortunately, none of these powers or abilities have I been able to parlay into a career or even benefitting from.

11. I'm the anti-hero.
So I'll use them for both good and evil.

14. In these new days, we shall all become better at that which we seek.
Perhaps even finding it.
