I'd like to be 6'2, male, with very thick, wavy black hair, pale and green- or grey-eyed, athletic, with a very full tenor/baritone voice, excellent eyesight, and a propensity for a very high metabolism.
I'd love to have perfect recall, the ability to learn skills (like playing musical instruments, carving, pottery, etc.) very quickly, the ability to learn languages virtually instantly, and an incredibly finely trained associational synthesis ability (i.e., the ability to put facts or observed data together to find patterns, meanings, and solutions).
I would also love to have an instinctive ability to learn physical skills (like martial arts) almost instantly, and even on sight (i.e., I see it, I can do it).
