If you're going to examine your new form, it should be best to start with the more obvious things, like those pointy things across your skin.
They have a sapphire-tint, but bear more similarities with sharp icicles. They're not very durable, but they do create cold, numbing aura around you. Mist. If you could master its use, you might be able to sneak around in a blinding fog. You'll probably want to be quick or strong to make up for your bad durability.
What else? You've grown an interest with electronics, and the feelings appeared mutual. Your camera can operate by sheer mental will. Unfortunately, your mind powers end there, as you are incapable of lifting pillows up by thought. It's limited to the manipulation of technology, and perhaps its advancement. The modifications you have in mind for your simple camera, were almost infinite.
From your mouth, you can breathe out the Mist at an extensive rate. You didn't do this for too long because you didn't want your room to be buried in snow, and because it took energy from your core. Good news is that your teeth had been replaced with crystals, which are always pearly white.
Your vision remained the same, but your senses were heightened even further. Faintly, when you close your eyes, you can still observe objects via heat and motion, like Mortimer standing out your door, waiting to ambush you. Because of you being a living ice machine, anything that's alive will stand out. Seriously though, Cameron and Sheryl need to get that thing on a leash.
Now that we have the easy stuff out of the way, lets move on to what freaked you out more. When you clapped your hands together, a vortex appeared on the ground, and this odd, white, horned slug popped out of it. The miniature black hole disappeared once the critter got out, but still, now you have a slimy, antenna-bearing alien in your room. You felt like getting a snack after doing this... Why do these powers always drain you of your stomach!?
You place your little friend inside a glass jar, and a few pieces of ice so he'll have a toy. You basically summoned this... Thing... From who knows where, so you should probably take care of the guy. Or girl. You can't tell, so you just gave it an important gift, one that humans have.
The Gift Of A Name
What will you call the little, alien slug? It looks harmless enough.
[] Write-In
Yeah. That had a nice ring to it. "Alright buddy, let's get you to sleep. That space-travel thing must have made you drowsy." You comforted, sealed the jar shut, and tucked the glass cage underneath your bed. While the little monster curled up in a ball and went to sleep, perhaps its time for you to hit the hay as well. After returning to your human form, which was quite uncomfortable with the spikes retracting in your skin, you've slept the night away.

It was hard to find good photos in your area, but you barely scrape the mark.
Your morning was mostly spent on running around the block, snapping photos of pigeons and other critters nearby. As tempting as it was to take a photo of your slug buddy, you have no idea what will happen- Except that it'll probably be bad.
A few enthusiasts got the photos off your hand, and are coming back later to purchase more. Nice. This leaves you with a free afternoon...
Returning to your apartment after a good day of picture-taking, you take a moment to decide what to do this fine afternoon.

The footage wasn't very stellar, but you snatched a few clips of Mortimer rolling around the floor, chewing with one of Cameron's plush toys. The dog threw the doll up and down, and it was pretty amusing until it knocked off a vase... As much as you and the dog hate one another's guts, you both agreed to hide the shards under a rug before Jack comes back home.
Speaking of Jack, where did that eyepatch friend of yours go, anyway? Sheryl has been worried sick all morning about this, and Cameron didn't have any luck trying to contact him...
After that last trick by Mortimer, you decide to switch the camera off, and leave the pug be before it decides to bite your leg.

"Perfect, we can help me fail together," Cameron accepts your offer, and skipped over to your room. As you gave your camera a little click, and activated that shiny red button, you realize...
That this was a brilliant idea.
You pointed the camera at the blonde as he stumbled his way into your domain, until he saw the jar lying on your desk. You hold the old piece of junk steady, as Cameron approached the glass, to find...
"A living slimeball?" Cameron wondered, as he lifted up the jar your alien friend was in. He tapped the glass a few times, shocking the mollusk. "What kind of slug is this thing anyway?"
"To be honest," You shrug. "I have no idea what Slick is, either."
"Perfect, we can be clueless together." Cameron smiles, "Should I let it come out?"
You give the blonde a thumbs up, and he released the beast into the desk. Slick crawled out of the jar, and was surprised by the great world ahead of him. You watch as your little friend leaped for joy, leaving puddles of ooze with every hop. The mollusk then nuzzled its head on Cameron's finger, and waved its antenna at him.
"Aw, it likes me." Cameron grinned, before wiping the sludge off with a handkerchief. "This isn't gonna latch on my face and implant a chestburster now, is it?"
Cameron tries picking Slick up, but lets go after the slug began to shake around and curl up. All on tape, you watch as crystals form on its soft and sticky exterior, until your little pet was turned into a little sphere of ice. Cameron tries touching it, but then it throws itself in the air, and dives back into its glass jar.
"So, a slimeball... that turns into a floating crystal ball." Cameron muttered, sealing off the container while the ball squirmed inside. "I won't judge your hobbies, but this is definitely the weirdest one yet, Mira. I like it."

A few knocks on the door, and Mortimer was already barking in protest. You leave Slick on your table, and go with Cameron to open the door. He grabs the knob, turns it a few times, before it gets pushed open.
And your eyepatch wearing friend comes inside in a daze. Stumbling blindly, he hit the furniture and accidently stepped on your pug's tail, until he managed to find his room and lock himself in. Mortimer tried to chase after your roommate, but Cameron picks the little abomination up and puts him by the corner.
"Geez, Jack really needs to see a real doctor- Not that freak in the slums." Cameron grunts. "The guy's a total mess, having nightmares and disappearing..."
He sighed, took a glance at Jack's door, before looking at you with a whisper.
"I dunno about you, but I wanna know what's up with him and..." He chokes on his breath, "I don't want to follow him alone, Mira. Tomorrow, after dark. Think you can do me a solid, just this once?"

Your job was quite enjoyable by dusk.
You've met some friendly folk who liked your photographs, but nothing that left you a great mark in the world. In the end, all is good when you've made some people happy, and made a couple bucks while you're at it.

They say stories of wishes and falling stars. Perhaps they aren't as superstitious as people assume them to be.
Around the time of night when people shut their doors and closed their lights, you seemed restless. Was it because of your hunger, your occasional twitch, or the static that's trying to get you to do something?
Once Slick finally dragged itself out of its dull crystal shell, you played with the little monster for awhile, but that got boring quickly when all he can do was float around and turn into a ball. Laying in your bed, you think of ideas on what to do next...

In the future, you'll have the opportunity to specify what kind of film you're making, but for now, think of the films as some of those hoax supernatural videos with shenanigans, except that some things are for real (Like Slick, but the rest of the world will think that he's fake or something, since you aren't very popular or infamous yet.)
Also, I didn't realize that I haven't threadmarked it. Thanks for pointing that out.
EDIT: I'll be adding a "Map" section in the character sheet, so that you'll have a record of the places you've already seen.
