Line 70:
== Fanfic ==
* In [[Divine Blood (Fanfic)|Divine Blood]] there are several examples.
** Ranma early on commiserates that she's not quite a "non-magical" being any more given the changes that constant exposure to supernatural energies has wrought on her, not the least being her [[Rape As Backstory|rape and]] [[Child By Rape|impregnation]] [[Half
** It is shown that both Demons and Gods have used their method of achieving immortality to recruit mortals of random sentient species to their ranks. Currently, the target is human (and assorted subraces) since there aren't many other sentient species that aren't immortal. {{spoiler|and humans have recently stepped up to produce their own immortals}}
* The [[Music/Beatles|Beatles]] in ''[[With Strings Attached (Fanfic)|With Strings Attached]]''. The first instances (John and Ringo) are actually unintentional on the part of the aliens involved; they end up giving George and Paul powers to make them roughly equal.
Line 198:
* The player character in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]'' wasn't touched by Vorlons per se, but did have his powers implanted {{spoiler|by no less a figure than [[Satan|Lucifer]] himself}}. In fact, the entire game could be seen as a test case to see just how usable the method was. Just so long the empowering worked [[Xanatos Gambit|it wouldn't matter what the newly-created Demi-Fiend did]], even if that involved defying his Vorlon (so to speak). The method would be proved as workable, and it would likely be not that much trouble to duplicate the process with a more ready accomplice.
** ''[[Persona]] 4'' plays the trope similarly, with {{spoiler|the goddess Izanami}} granting the power to enter the TV universe and summon Personas to the main character {{spoiler|and two others}}, more or less just to see what they would do with it. More relevant to this trope, {{spoiler|the power is granted via contact-- in this case, Izanami's disguised form as the gas station attendant giving you a friendly handshake.}}
* Jak from ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' is blessed with Light Eco abilities by the Precursors, god-like figures of his world. While his [[Super
* [[Blaz Blue|Ragna the Bloodedge]] gained his powers {{spoiler|by fusing with the remains of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Black Beast]].}}
* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XIII]]'' has this trope at the core. All six main characters are l'Cie, humans who have been given a task by inscrutable alien beings called Fal'cie and superpowers to help them fulfill it. The downside of this is if they fail, they turn into mindless monsters. The upside? [[Blessed With Suck|If they succeed, they turn into crystals for eternity.]]
