Jane can give anyone the illusion of pain while they are under her gaze.
Aro can see all of the thoughts that a person has ever had, while making physical contact with that person.
Marcus can sense relationships.
Demetri can track anyone once he has the tenor of their mind.
Alice can see the future.
Edward can read minds without contact.
Jasper can influence the emotions of those around him.

What would your power be if you were a Vampire?

oh man this is a great idea for a thread!! thank you Jen

Well.... there are ones that i would WANT to have Def. Edwards... very useful on exams

but looking at who and how I am... I can lie pretty good, but only face to face with the person other way it doesn't work at all.. maybe i would be able to make people believe my every world, great visions they would believe are real and happening

Scythe

That would be a good one - like 'the power of persuasion' - control people so they don't know what they're doing whilst under your 'spell'

I don't get how 'sensing relationships' would be a very cool power

Jaspers. To make people feel happy and comfortable skill that I would love to have. I think I'd be able to do some great things

I would not want Alice's. Would regret knowing the future. I've seen too many movies to feel comfortable about that

Tayloriffic

I would want Edward's. So I could know what people around me were really thinking.

LittleMilkJug

I'd love to have Edwards...as long as I could also learn to shut out the minds I'm not interested in

LoVe-Story

Definitely Edward´s!!!
But I´d also want to have Jasper´s!

sidhe-seer

i KNOW!! that would be sooo useful! I could get my way anywhere!!! no exam would be a problem ever.

this is a strange power i absolutely don't get maybe bd will tell us more

Fading Letters

Hmm, I think it is pretty useful for the Volturi.
No vampire can hide their relationships with someone from them and that way they can be forced to join the guard or whatever because I'm sure any vampire is willing to do anything just to make sure their mate doesn't get hurt. Also they could use this to persuade the mates of the vamps in their guard to join for they want to be together even if it's a really bad situation like that.
I can only guess here but I'm sure that Marcus' power is very helpful for the Volturi.

Scythe

You guys don't have to pick a power that one of the others have! You could make up your own.

4N6 DNA

In that case, I'd want the ability to fly. Then I would really see the world

Chris

also, in a general sense at a first meeting it might be useful to determine whether somebody was being honest. Like if they were trying to persuade you about something, and you didn't realize they had a vested interest in the outcome due to their relationship with somebody. Did that make sense?

For established powers, I think I'd like Alice's ability to see the future.

If I was making up my own, I agree with Jessie that flying would be cool. Oh, I'd want to be strong enough to bring somebody with me.

Scythe

Where flying would be really very cool, it seems as though all of the powers are mental so far.

I guess you're right about the relationship power I hadn't thought of that before.

Those of you who would like Edward's power - I urge you to watch the BtVS episode 'Earshot' and then see what you think.

-Kirstiiie-

Ive seen that ep, and yeh i would watch Edwards power LOL. But i would make it so that i dont hear what decisions people make, or much negativity in what they think about.
If i made up my own it would be...errrm, like a shape shifter...but when changing into that person would gain their abilites/powers also That way i have a variety

Scythe

That would be a nice power to hear all nice thoughts from other people!
