RWBY, in "Save the world? Fuck that, I want to make money" by @Pastah-Farian.
Okay, so...
1) Local Power: Aura. Easy enough to understand, but good to have, otherwise looking soulless to others would potentially be a really bad thing. Figure a ton of training needed to make a proper use of it. It would be amazing if this could also grant Magic, but that seems to be a very limited Local Power following the age of the Brother Gods walking the Remnant's surface prior to Salem's temper-tantrum worthy of a 5 year old.
2) Timeline appears to be prior to the events of the actual canonical RWBY, with Winter not yet a Specialist but in training, preparing to graduate, so got some time to see how things will go. The Weyland family presence would also make for interesting shift, so following whether or not the protagonist of the tale has returned to start changing the company for the new shift would be interesting.
3) Minor Ability from Out of Setting: Inexhaustible Mining (Graveyard Keeper) - Being able to mine stuff without actually removing the material from the source would make for some interesting changes. Locate a big "source block" of iron? Chip away at it and get more than the source-block should realistically even be able to contain, without reducing it at all. Meaning slow but unending source of materials, from an ore-vein that isn't depleted by the mining. This could help with mining dust without running out too, but that seems secondary priority with the Weylands. Signing up to join them with a "mining semblance" as excuse, helping excavate materials that might otherwise be difficult to find in sufficient amounts, even just locating 1 rich enough node despite a potentially small size could mean having some of the more difficult to acquire materials flowing to the Weylands at a steady rate.
Given the situation, I'd likely end up in Atlas and with Aura unlocked, it would be best to get some training with that, but with the changes coming, might seek to get hired by the Weylands even at a lower wage if necessary as inexperienced newcomer because the family looks to be going places and being in the Atlas Academy seems a good way to be nudged towards joining Atlas Military sooner or later. Getting trained by the mercenary forces, learning how to fight, getting hands on some reliable guns that don't need fancy transformation sequences that could be jammed or break, while helping gather materials to keep mining at it.
Probably in trouble if/when Salem decides to throw another hissy-fit and start acting instead of sulking, but in the meanwhile providing a service that ought to have a bit of value to the company and thus paid fairly for it, while having protection and learning to protect myself, improving on things and learning, and working for a simple enough goal: Making some money by utilizing the skills given and learning how to fight to keep that money too, and working for a Gun-Manufacturer? You better believe I'd be looking to gear up and if there is employee discounts, then getting some good guns and plenty of ammo would be there on the list.
I had a ton of other ideas for the Minor Ability section that would help but I found most of those might be a tad too powerful, so went with one of the least-powerful minor abilities to satisfy the 'minor' part there. Because having a full Minecraftian digging and crafting system & health system on top with immortality totems would no longer count as 'minor', even if something like Fortnite or 7 Days to Die style building, scavenging, and Fortifying a position in the end-days style power could be amusing in setting up Weyland facilities swiftly to become easily defensible outposts for one purpose or another.
Idle thoughts having fun.

You get it. The desire FOR FLOOFConsidering I've been doing nothing but reading marvel and DC fanfics for the past couple of days when I'm not doing DND stuff, uh.
Probably find that one crazy cat guy in Gotham and ask to be made a test subject.
If I'm lucky, become catgirl, proceed directly to shenanigans.
If I'm really lucky I convince him to splice me with fox DNA instead after helping him steal shit.
Getting my teeth busted in by batman is a small price to pay for having a fluffy tail.
Although I'd probably end up a twisted half human monster instead of adorable and fluffy, because Gotham.
Except I'd be fine with that too and probably try to make a low budget horror movie

Was re-reading Archangel's Amazing Adventures when I saw this.
1. Everyone has magic, swords, and guns in it along with Gundams.
2. The main characters don't even know really where or when they are so that won't matter much.
3. Minor power from another series? Fanon Uzumaki Luck. I'll take getting into bad situations as long as I can get some stupidly good luck at gambling.

Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo, was the last manga I just read(because reasons). I probably would try to pull the same as the protagonist.
And the funny thing, my last fanfic was this series just now, if it weren't it would have been Worm and I dead. Interesting. If I were to choose, I would go like hybrid, (mommy gem) best of both worlds in terms of potential for power. Although if I were a gem I would plan my escape to Earth till Steven Jesus pulls Homeworld into Era 3... just like that same fanfic lol.

Worm. Enough said.
1. Guess I'll be a parahuman. Hope I don't have to trigger too.
2. Start of canon would be preferable. Earlier and I'd feel obliged to help Taylor. At the same time, changing things could be really bad for everyone involved.
3. Always liked being smart, so tony stark. When your power is being a general 'tinker' you don't really loose out in other categories.
Also since I won't have Stark's resources, it should be classified as a minor power. Not for long though...

I was reading a crossover fic recently... do I just get yeeted into one, the other, or the crossover?
Well, actually... I don't precisely remember which I read recently.
Either a FullMetal Alchemist + SpyxFamily crossover...
or a Megamind + Worm crossover.
I'm only chilling okay in one setting.
Chilling less okay if it's either crossover.

The last world was Danmachi. I think it could be worse, but still uncomfortable. What about three things?
1 - I am not sure, if it means I gain access to Falna. And if I do, would it make me part of any familia? Or just familia of myself? Or would I get something else, like access to magic? Can turn into political nightmare.
2 - Pretty useful, I guess. Not a big fun of this setting, but it would definitely help to exploit some things and evade danger for some time, before timeline is completely screwed. But even after this, I still would be able to know what time it is at any moment - convenient.
3 - Not sure what to take for this one. Something to survive for longer or side step limitations of the setting. Could take some Minor Stranger effect, because if people cannot know/perceive where enemy comes from, they cannot defend or attack reliably. There are so many things to consider, I am not sure what to take.
I could probably become an adventurer, but I am a bit afraid of this. Not just of dungeon, but of politics and big city, which definitely has some problems with law. Although, I could help some people, which I know are in a tough spot. I could try to just go away and live somewhere else, maybe even take Minor Boon specifically for this route. I think, my plan of action would rely heavily on what I get from First and Third Boons.

Skyrim-Brosef's Tamrielic Dreaming
1: So I get Mana and nothing else? Feck.
2:I'm about 17 years from canon, so I'll likely just find a Khajiit caravan/settlers, try and befriend them, maybe seduce one or two if I'm lucky.
3: minor, eh? Hmm.....would a bootleg Essence Of The Warlord count as minor?
I mean I'm still getting ripped apart by Alduin with some struggle on his end, but then again I'm also likely to unwittingly end up as a third faction in the civil war leading the downtrodden part of the population, and probably winning it....hmmm.

I'm in Fallout 4, oh god.....
1: Does fallout even have a major power system?
2: So I'm either in the prologue directly before the bombs fell, in which case I'm probably fucked hard. Or, I'm at the time Shaun(the little monster❤) is taken by Kellogg and Nora dies, which I'm ambivalent about. Or finally, I'm at the time Nate wakes up and swears to find Shaun to Nora's frozen corpse, which I would prefer waking up- wait, idea!
3: I choose Average Asgardian physique. The full package of increased lifespan, durability, and strength. In Fallout, that makes me a Juggernaut, but I'm ultimately helpless to any Eldritch abominations lurking around.
So, at the time Kellogg wakes up all the other Vault Residents to get to Shaun, I'll insert myself into an empty pod, and with my chosen power, punch my fist through the glass blocking my escape, alarming the Institute personnel and hopefully halting Nora's death. I'll then panickingly flail around, going for Kellogg cause he has a gun, punch his head off, take the gun, then order the Institute personnel to release all Vault Inhabitants.
Hopefully, they'll immediately comply and do as ordered, but if not, I'll just rip out someone's spine slowly, which should make them incredibly eager to follow my commands.
After everyone is freed, I'll ask all the dwellers ,once everyone had been informed of the state of the world, what the Institute personnels' fates should be. Then we'll all take it from there, with me hopefully being seen as, while not the leader, definitely the guy who they want to keep happy and around.

I recently finished the third Stormlight Archive book and repeatedly wanted to slap several characters. I'd probably die but I'd really want to slap them
people in Stormlight Archive: Should we really fight against the people of the world that want to exterminate us while working with the literal god of evil? We had somehow stolen the entire planet from them before while bringing this god of evil which we, seemingly, abandoned as an entire people in favor of worshipping Honor instead of the evil genocidal war god. We are fighting for stolen land and-
Me: THESE PEOPLE WANT TO KILL ALL OF YOU RIGHT NOW INCLUDING THE CHILDREN AND WILL ENSLAVE YOU AT BEST. CONTEMPLATE THAT SHIT LATER YOU ABSOLUTE PRETENTIOUS FUCKS A MAN IS TRYING TO STAB YOU WITH A SPEAR
I zone the fuck out whenever the protagonists start going on about that, including the guy who is like "I have abandoned my people for the ones worshipping actual evil because I hope they will be better than humanity" I want to slap that man every time I read his pov.
Taravangian, the Machiavellian old man who made a deal with a different eldritch entity that gives gifts with known extreme downsides (he is on a sliding scale where he will be either super intelligent but an evil guy who doesn't understand humans or incredibly empathetic and nice while not being very smart), outright plans to make a deal with the equivalent to satan thinking he can outsmart it and wait out the cyclical apocalypse so his kingdom can win the next round....after having assassinated several kings and incited political turmoil. a few other factions did similar things
Me: All of you are fucking idiots huffing drugs because none of the shit you talk about makes sense. Why would assassinating people chosen by the spirits to defend against Satan prevent Satan from showing up? You are actively sawing off your legs inch by inch you absolute dumnasses.
half of my existence would end up being shouting at people calling them dumbasses for doing some of the most absurd shit possible.
If I don't die I'd likely end up being a court jester if their eye color racism doesn't make it so I get executed for pointing out their absurdity.

Elder Scrolls.
Minor Power: Unshakable and passive awareness of ones own existence. This would be almost useless in most cases.
Since I have access to the local power system I also have access to the powers of the dreamer since I am the dreamer and thus CHIM.
With the awareness of my existence I will instantly realize my existence as the dream but because I also have unshakable awareness of my own existence which includes the part that is not the dreamer I will awaken as a lucid dreamer.
I can then cast myself beyond the dream to become a dreamer myself but will retain myself due to my awareness and thus have the ability to make my own world the way I want to.

Huh I'm playing Dishonored 2 now. So I guess I got the Outsider's power. Not the best but not the worst.
Wait did the OP say READ? The last book was the wheel of time series I'm on the 2nd book. So I guess I have the one power. Hope I don't go crazy and evil.

...I wrote in the story title? Simply go into the search bar, check off( ✔) titles only, search Everywhere, then type in Tamrielic Dreaming.
