>Hey. I tried something like this in the CYOA thread and there was enough interest in forming teams and shit as characters I decided to make this into an entire thread on its own. Basically you use the Worm CYOA to make yourself a superhero and join a team. The goal of this thread is not to build super OP characters, but build interesting characters who would work together in teams. Compared to the regular CYOA this is a low-power game. The CYOA itself is super easy to break, so there’s a few rules to go along with it to maintain the theme of the thread, keep things balanced and prevent this thread from turning into a race to make the most OP character possible.

>The setting itself is Metropolis, a typical extra-large New York sandbox rip-off. Even though it’s all the same setting you can pick Gestation, the Golden Age or Worthless Opponent as your scenario, but it won’t mean much more than a difference in starting points. Canon characters – Contessa, Skitter, Eidolon, Glaistig Uaine, etc – don’t exist in Metropolis. Every organisation mentioned in the CYOA still exists, but with none of the canon characters in it and they are based out of Metropolis. The Protectorate and the Wards still exist, as does the PRT. The Guild is not Canadian. The Undersiders are pre-Taylor heisters. The ABB and E88 are locked in a turf war and the Merchants sell drugs to homeless people. S9 exists and you can be in it, but you’ll probably end up with a kill order on you.

>Cauldron still exists and is still a secret organisation that wants to manufacture more parahumans and take control of as many parahuman organisations as possible in preparation for fighting the Entities. Conspirators are active members of Cauldron and still get access to those sweet, sweet Cauldron powers. If you have a dead shard and you aren’t a case 53, you either stole from Cauldron or secretly work for them. If you work for them, your job is to get into a position of power within your organisation to further cauldron’s reach. If you stole from them expect Conspirators to hunt you down – or heroes working for Cauldron.

>The Birdcage exists. It is not in Metropolis, and unless stated is exactly the same as in canon – a giant guardless prison run by AIs with no way out. If you are a villain and you get caught three times or you get caught after doing something horrific you end up here til it’s time to fight the entities.

>1) Duplicate powers don’t stack. Two people with power fluctuation standing next to each other would not buff each other’s power fluctuations. This is to stop the most OP builds.
>2) You can only spend a maximum of 15 Shard points on powers. This includes the 3S it takes to upgrade a power to its second trigger. This rule is in place to stop people building characters with a million high S powers (vigilantes I’m looking at you) or who are otherwise obscenely broken – Worm parahumans are closer to being x-men than justice leaguers in power level. It also stops everyone from taking a million flaws to get ridiculous powers. We can’t all be vagrants who got kidnapped and tortured by S9 and Ziz. Conspirators are the exception to this rule – they can spend up to 20 points on powers (perks of being cauldron).

>3) No Abaddon shards or Negentropy. No-one has Abaddon shards in canon Worm and this is a low power game anyway. Negentropy is a no go because the entities lose all incentive to hand out powers if they’ve developed immortality. If you’re upset because “muh immortality” keep in mind as a parahuman you’re unlikely to live for much longer than a decade anyway (life in spandex is violent and short).
>4) No more than 3 Endbringers at a time. First come first served, and you play like canon Endbringers – you periodically show up to wreck everybody’s shit.
>5) I’m thinking of making this into a proper RP if I can find a decent place to host it. No drop-ins or gifts – let’s keep it in-character.

>A few final notes:

>Case 53 flaw x1 = you are a human with a few extra parts, like elf ears, feathers in your hair, weird pupils/irises/sclera, extra fingers etc. Think Canary from canon.

>Case 53 Flaw x2 = you are still recognisably humanoid, but not as a “human”. Think Gully or Weld from canon – you genuinely look like a monster and ordinary humans might be nervous or quick to judge you.

>Case 53 x3 = you are no longer recognisable as human. Think Garotte or Mantellum from canon. People who see you will think you’re a monster and may run screaming from you.

>Having a kill order on you means you did something truly horrific or awful, or have repeatedly shown yourself to be too dangerous to be safely apprehended by the authorities. In short, you’ve killed people and as a result there's a fuckhueg bounty on you, which anyone - from heroes to sinister villains to rule-breaking vigilantes to every yahoo with a gun - can collect on, with no questions asked an no attempts to arrest them. They just stroll into Protectorate HQ, drop off your severed head, get given their money and walk out, even if they're a wanted felon.

Shitposting aside, it looks like a bigger Landraider with a turret on top.

They can only be supremely arrogant. The epitome of the Chadmarine looking down on inferiors, including Manlet Marines.

For colour scheme, should be something pretty aggressive, strong and bright colours.

>>53472566
Chad marines is an interesting idea. They're supremely arrogant and consider older marines to be ancient and out dated. Like a VHS compared to a SSD drive.

>>53472528
Man-Baby Marines! Or Baby-Man Marines? They are young, unexperienced and adorable but huge.

>>53469841
Nothing, they are insignificant enough to fall under the table with the new 10 pages rules, 10 pages lore policy.

I still have a soft spot for Forgotten Realms and this city, no matter how many valid reasons there be for the setting to be technically shit.

More like Waterderp am I right??

>>53465449
The water of Citydeep...

Depends on the chapter, but they do tend to be big and strong and mysterious, so I'd say pretty popular overall.

Unfortunately that affection is never requited.

They prefer the term "chapter serfs."

Reds are ADHD kids or DYEL bros.
Whites are cowards (all defense, heals, etc.)
Blacks are one of edgy/goth/metal head or autists with a focus on zombies.

All of there were true in my high school at least, but that's a) a small sample size and b) outdated as shit by now.

I played W then WR.

>>53462820
Black is girls.
White players are at some extreme of weight usually morbidly skinny.
Red are usually either wiggers or act ironically black with overuse of senpai and whatnot.

>blue is insecure about themselves and so denies others what they want to feel powerful
>red probably has anger issues and can't imagine life without conflict
>green dreams big but doesn't know how to follow through
>white is a kiddo at heart who wants to make dudes and play war or who wants to do something silly
>black has trouble letting go of things and also has trouble forming bonds in the first place

I couldn't care less. Age of Sigmar is literally the most uninspired, bland fantasy setting you could imagine.

Doesn't sound remotely interesting to me, but perhaps it'll give them a chance to develop their new setting's lore. It certainly needs all the help it can get in that department.

>The Warhammer Age of Sigmar setting is fantasy at its most imaginative

AHAHAHAHAHAHA
