Jackie Chan Adventures- Choose your Talisman

Balrog · Post by **Balrog** » 2003-08-07 10:56pm

Anyone else watch it? Great show

Anyways, you wake up one day to see Q standing over you, and he's decided to be nice this time. He has with him the 12 Magical Chinese Talismans, and offers to grant you the powers of one of the Talismans (i.e. Choose the Dragon, and you can blow stuff up good, just like the talisman

)

For those of you who don't know the powers of the 12 Talismans...

Dragon- The Power of Combustion (shoot fire outta your hands and blow things up)
Snake- The Power of Invisibility
Horse- The Power of Healing (Instantly heals from common cold to broken bones)
Sheep- The Power of Astal Projection (Your 'Spirit' leaves your body and you can travel anywhere, even peoples dreams)
Monkey- The Power to Shift Shape
Rooster- The Power of Levitation
Dog- The Power of Immortality
Pig- The Power of Heat Beam Eyes
Rat- The Power to Re-animate (think The Puppeteer)
Ox- The Power of Super Strenght
Tiger- The Power of Ying-Yang (No real power, but split it in two and suddenly there's a 'Good' you and 'Bad' you)
Rabbit- The Power of Super Speed

The real kicker though is that, after you've choosen your power, Q will randomly pick 11 other people and give them each one of the remaining powers; and some of the more powerful Talismans are going to go to some really bad people. Of course, you don't have to do anything once you have your powers.

So, which one do you pick?

Rabbit easily. After that, the only ones I can't get are Snake and probly Monkey, and thats only if they try to avoid me.

Dog. Duh.

Dog or Horse. "Immortality hurts," but I'll still be standing after you've exhausted yourself trying to beat me into the ground.

Rooster might give you some trouble.

Tiger. Yes, I've been split into good and evil selves a la "The Enemy Within," but there's two of me.

But only the yin version of you will be any good in a fight. If Jackie is any indication, then the yang will have moral qualms about fighting to sit it out.

Simple as that.

And if you feel like you don't want to live anymore, then just stop using it.

Dog

But as a note, Rooster is Telekenisis not just Levitiation specificly

I might go with a rather unusual choice, the Sheep Tailsman. Given that there would be up to 11 other people with mystical powers, some of which would choose to go after me with rather dangerous things, it would be a good idea to try to find the other tailsmans. They have to sleep sometime, and when they do, they're fair game. And I could gain information rather well using it. If I were sadistic, I could take over random henchmen and use their bodies to shoot the others up, disposing of them when their bodies when they eventually get caught and killed.

However, since I would be rather vurnerable myself, espically at close ranges I might choose another. With the Sheep Tailsman, it would be a very good thing to keep a low profile in a very safe spot until you can get a few others.

Dog Talisman.

Then in quietly hide and wait. Thing is, the others will die off soon, by my standards. I'll study Chinese magic (One more thing!) and simply wait 50 years. Then I'll slowly buy them up at actions, steal them from ignorant heirs, and so forth.

I don't think so, the power of flight is with a combonation of Rooster and Rabbit, so he's just floating around, and when he comes down... BAM!

He learns how unhealthy it is for a person to take a couple dozen blows to the head with the claw side of a hammer in less than a second.

Actually, rabbit talisman is only needed if you're in a hurry. SPOILER:

The rooster that receives the levitation power was able to lift a house and move it with no problem.

Rabbit. It will alow me to kill or escape any one else. With it I track down the other talismans, and close the distance quikly and shoot them with a gun. for the healing and immortality talismans I will once I get the ox strength I will rip the arm off that holds the talisman.

I'd stick with my actual Chinese zodiac sign, which is that of the horse.

A sheep and snake combonation would work fine, get to travel all over and your invisible so you can't be found.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-08-09 01:19am

If I go with my Zodiac Sign, one of me will more then likely kill the other...not good.

Personally I'll take healing or TK...Dog or Rooster.

Tasoth · Post by **Tasoth** » 2003-08-09 04:07am

I could go with the zodiac, The Ox, and go into 'tasoth Smash!!!' mode

or I'd take the monkey....

Pu-239 · Post by **Pu-239** » 2003-08-09 12:46pm

I would go with the dog, "obtain" some heavy weapons, and go termie on the others.

Or I could just go with my zodiac and take rabbit, and steal the others.

You mean you'll try. Only an idiot would hold the talisman for all the world to see.
