As the Serenitree Hurtles off through space towards Zanzibar Wisp looks over the newly posted crew manifest.
The motley bunch of misfits and superheroes all seem to have one thing in common which Wisp did not...
POWERS
Magical or otherwise Wisp was only a genius and did not have any afformentioned powers to dazzle and impress.
This would have to be rectified before the imminent battle with the zanazibarbarians and theyre fire breathing space chickens (poltrious incendious I believe the latin name is)
Wisp set off to the engine room to find Jet tinkering with a terminal of some kind.
"Hello again!" She said turning to greet him "What can i do for you today?"
"I need some hightech powers that create aww and ooh and occasionally a phhwwooorrr"
"Try looking through the store room and inventing something in there" She replied while pointing to a door at the back
Upom stepping inside Wisp found himself in a huge sweet shop filled with wires and parts machines jars containers and all mannors of ingenious technology.
He began to reinvent himself.

or being nuked, bitten by a nuked bug or covered in nuked slime.
look in the kitchen in the draw marked 'nuked stuff'
ooc - hey, i don't have super powers! I can barely fly straight.
I have the rabbits, but only cause I stole em.
Do i have to get superpowers or can I just stick with being fabulously me with my sexy new costumes?

*JadeHand's hunger grows. He finds Mai and escorts her back to his room.*
There's still wine in the fridge if you'd like to open a bottle. I'll go ahead and get started on dinner.
*JadeHand moves around the kitchen in his room mixing various spices and cutting non-space chicken for dinner, as Mai opens a bottle and pours two glasses for them. Leaving the fresh vegetables cut in seperate bowls and the chicken and spices cooking, JadeHand takes his glass and slips up beside Mai as she gazes out of the window.*
It's nice to be out in the black again. Do you have any after dinner plans? I thought we might pass out on the couch in front of a movie and some popcorn...
"I have been here many times before In a life I used to live
But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."

Wisp walked out of the hangar the next morning looking very weary and tired.
"ooh lets see what youve got then!!!" Squeeled Jet as she saw him emerge
He took a second after noticing her nad hearing her words for him to comprehend
"Yeah" He perked up slightly after living in his own world all night
"No1 Ive augmented me corneas so i can now see in Uv, Thermal, And Xray vision" His eyes glanced up and down Jet
"YOUR XRAYING ME RIGHT NOW ARENT YOU!!!" She covered her boobs and nethers and slapped him across the face
"Sorry
No2 Ive replaced my lower arms with powerful electromagnets so i can move around large metals"
Wisp moved a large piece of machinery just by moving his hands.
"oooh" She said marveling at his new powers
"And No3" He lifted up his shirt revealing four deep gashes in each side of his chest
"EEEWWWHH What is that!!"
"Theyre gills. I can breathe permanantly Underwater"
"Nice powers So whats in the bag?"
"Never You mind" He said sneakily "But this is for you" He extracted a post and pressed a button and Out sprang a hamock
"I already have a hamock" She said pointing to a tattered rag in the corner
"Yes but this is officially the most comfortable hamock in the world. Pneumatics, Hydraulics, Gravity springs and a dark matter injector"
"Fancy Hamock"
Wisp Walked out and followed the wailing to the new babys room. As he knocked a rugged Soul answered the door.
"Hey Congratulations and all Heres a baby present for you" He extracted a metal rucksack thing from his bag
"What is it??"
"Theyre Wings. I figure the wifes got em, the kids gottem you might as well have em. Just put em on and fly"
"Thanks" Soul said while looking at the equipment
"Listen gotta go Have fun!"
Wisp closed the door and went to the hangar to test his new powers

Seryn, not everyone has super powers. I mean, I don't, not really. I just have wings.
But, if you want, everyone is allowed ONE power. I'm pretty sure that's the rule. Check with TRM to make sure.
Also: I think you look VERY snazzy in your new outfit.
Serenity,
First Officer of Destiny

Movie? Sure sounds good. It's probably best that we all get in a bit of rest and relaxation in now.
You know before the horrors of the epic battle and other peril-ish type stuff goes down when we land.
*is excited* (last time they even let me have a gun! wait, maybe that's not such a good thing...)

(ooc- I might just save on deciding what superpower i want then, actually, no... I just had a thought.)
Seryn swans out of her room, resplendant in bronzed leathery goodness, hair newly pouffed (they always have pouffier hair as well, have you noticed?) and follows the sound of clanking to where Cozen is.
"and here i thought we could be friends...
...what? don't you trust me?"
Cozen lifts the visor up and clanks in response.
"Well, how am I ever to convince you that we should be friends? I would so love to be friends..."
*gets closer*
"clank"
*starts to unzip top veeeeeeery slowly*
"I could give you something very very valuable, a gift, of sorts..."
*zip lowers further, Cozen spots FLESH*
"Claaank!!"
...that you can treasure for a good long time..."
*reaches into top, and brings out...
A rabbit.*
"Clank?"
"His name is Tucker. I thought it suited him, but you can change it if you want, whatever he'll respond too.
He has a funny eye, but i don't think thats a defect - i think it just means he's different.
But it does mean that you have to look after him - he tends to run into things - trees, people, ships, no depth perception you see.
*lifts up gauntleted hand and places rabbit in*
"Caio!"
*Runs back to darkened room and slips back into bed, waits for SR to get interested.
Very interested.
Then shape changes into Tom Berenger*
*Waits for the yelling to subside*
"I do have a power after all! Just not had cause to use it!"
*grins, and returns to normal self*
"Sorry sweetie, i'll make it up to you I promise"

OOC: The Etiquette of Super Powers
Multiple superpowers are okay. The thing to watch is having powers that tend to short-circuit our plot lines. For example, if you have god-like powers where you can wave your hand and make our problems disappear, then having and dealing with problems becomes less interesting.
"Oh, another invasion fleet. YAWN! Say, Bob, can you send them to oblivion like the last four?"
That way, for us to have any fun, we need to either cause Bob to lose his powers temporarily, or Bob has to be in some torpor where he cannot act. Or Bob sits by, god-like, watching the antics of us mere mortals until he feels it is time to intervene and save us.
Another problem is if your powers are constantly changing, so that you can always pull up a new one to deal with any specific situation. Jadehand's Nametags of Shapeshifting are like this, but their use comes with enough of a price that he won't do so frivilously.
And yes, I think that flight using wings is a superpower. It was for Angel of the original X-Men!
