By day, Royce Kirkland is a good for nothing, layabout high school janitor who spends most of his time trying to dispense sage advice to depressed teenager and then usually getting called a creep. By night, Royce becomes Geist, the invisible scourge of the Metropolis underworld. He can cut his way into anywhere or through anyone completely unnoticed, although he reserves the right to dispense choice one liners at opportune moments.

>A slacker through school and a slacker through adulthood, DeMarcus went with the flow with everything. Even when that flow got him fired from job after job and stopped all contact with his family and friends. Who knew being a mooch all of your life would make you unlikable? Oh well, he'll find a way. After being around a shady new crowd of "friends" called The Merchants, he started drug running for them for some easy money. When he realized he was delivering to minors, DeMarcus began to wrap his head on straight and stop doing business, keeping the drugs for later use.

Just before deciding to throw away or use his stolen goods, some Merchant goons got a hold of the slacker, beating him up good. Not use to physical alterations at all, he triggers. He gains the ability to control the friction across his body against all matter. He's slippery when he wants to be, or he can become a human 1000 degree knife. DeMarcus almost chose this name. On his way to get some vengeance on those two goons, he encountered even more Merchants on his doorstep to cause more damage, with a cape to help settle the score too. He ran away completely forgetting about his new powers, as they ransacked his place and found out everything about DeMarcus.

Now, he's training his skills and honing his powers by showing off his powers in streetfights. A slacker for hire.

Steve Johnson
Once, I was a man, a small, fragile little thing, destined to die of disease, or age, or violence, or all the million other little things organics are vulnerable to. Now, I am a machine, free of the weakness of flesh. You too can be raised to such a state. For a price.

Scenario-Golden Age (10, 20)
I was one of the first tinkers to appear. At the time, as my vision swam with images of ways to replace my fragile shell of a body, I thought I had gone mad.

Path-Rogue
All those silly villains, trying to get rich through theft! Don't get me wrong, they make excellent customers, but couldn't they go into business or something?

Insert-Male Senior
I was quite old at the time when I first gained this gift. Had I not abandoned my shell, I would be dead by now.

Identity-CEO
Isn't money great? This company, PENTEX, is my little baby. Yeah, Congress keeps trying to regulate it out of existence, but that's what lobbyists are for, right? Besides, who can say no to immortality?

Skills
Strategy (5, 20)
I'd say I'm pretty decent at long term planning and such. Wouldn't have gotten this far if I wasn't.

Hacking (4, 20)
I mean, I am a computer. Although most of the time, putting in P@ssword is all it takes.

Tactics (0, 20)
Sometimes, some hot shot screaming about "corruption" or something will try to use his fancy new powers to disrupt my company. Can't have that, now can we?
Besides, sending out HiTmarks against Endbringers is good PR.

Natural Trigger (3, 20)
I remember my trigger event. I was at the hospital, and my doctor came in, claiming that I had pancreatic cancer. I've gotten a whole lot better though.

Identity Reveal (6, 20)
Didn't really care about the whole "secret identity" thing.

Blindspot (3, 16)
Someone once told me that all those fancy precogs couldn't see what my company was up to. Good for me, I guess?

Nemesis (6,16)
There's some eco terrorist bitch who hates civilization, and me in particular. Something something "unnatural abomination."

Rough Start (8,20)
Yes, I have tons of money, but the PRT is on me, trying to label me as a villain or something. How am I supposed to tell that a bald guy with weird tattoos is a gang member? And what do you mean I can't give money to politicians for favors? That's what everyone else is doing!

Powers:
Augmentation, Second Trigger (4, 8)
Definitely my favorite part about my power. I really wish I could give this to more people, but this stuff is complicated, and my R&D team has trouble converting it from tinkertech to normal tech.

Robotics (4, 1)
Now this is what the majority of my sales come from. Everything from small helper bots to battle mechs. Sure, they break down (although I've gotten a lot better at making them last), and yeah, Congress keeps trying to ban them (thank you NRA), but there's always the black market.
I keep the best for myself of course. Nice to have a physical body to myself, just in case some villain or vigilante or rival company want to get some undeserved discounts.

Path
Thriving Business (1,1)
Everyone knows who I am, and that I have the best equipment for sale. Unfortunately, all those other rogues are jealous of me, the PRT is pulling lawsuits out of their wherever in a blatant attempt at recruitment, and most of my employees have left in fear of being attacked by the eco bitch.

All in all, life is pretty good.

>You can push objects and people in any direction that you want with the maximal speed they can move by themselves or that you can move them move.

If I can make contact with it, I can redirect it. And with my build, all matter won't be able to stay on me for long. Bullets can leave bruising but could never pierce so long I become slippery/harder.

>>53357414
But a bullet isn't supposed to move by itself, is it? Does it still work then?

>>53357261
>>53357491
Vector Push is Accelerator's power, but toned down so you can't survive Nuclear Bombs like he did (since he can alter the trajectory of literally anything, even radiation).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3jhTaFfG98
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLU3Lw29biU

>>53357491
If it's in motion or even in standstill, as long as I'm in contact with it it's freegame. So don't shoot, or ill shoot right back.

>>53357261
>>53357552
I mean, I don't know if Vector Push works that well against bullets or other high speed objects. You have to process that something is coming towards you, activate your power right as the object makes contact to minimize self damage, then calculate the out going trajectory. That's a lot of thinking to reflect a single bullet, especially considering that bullets rarely come alone.

A lot of work to reflect simple bullets, and this isn't even accounting for the force transferred to you through the contact duration.This leads me to think that Vector Push is more meant for close combat and utility purposes and less for "super reflection".

This is all assuming that Vector Push isn't just active passively though. My analysis could be completely wrong though, you can ask Hastet when he comes back for more clarification as I believe he have the final say on the semantics of powers.

>>53357759
No, you're right. If it does work passively, then it works out absurdly well. But I highly doubt thats the case. The only reason why I clarified it like that is due to me having both Vector Push AND Invulnerability on my character. When my Invulnerability eventually gives out, then I would have to rely on using all of my awareness to catch dangerous objects coming my way. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, am I the only invulnerable cape in this place? Seems kind of odd that it took this long to get in a real Tank to take in the damage around here.

>>53357874
Even with invulnerability, I highly doubt you have the time to return thousands of bullets back to their senders. The only way I could think of someone doing it, would be using Master Script, but then you wouldn't be doing anything else besides returning bullets.

As for the invulnerability, I actually think it makes you a worse tank. Once people realize it, they will simply avoid you until the time is up, focusing on your allies instead. However, I guess Vector Push + Shock and Awe would make you at least able to thoroughly disrupt your enemies at least.

Though once again, Invulnerability might be broken if "infinite inertia" is actually what it grants you and invulnerability is just a side effect of that, but I'll assume it doesn't since then it would still mean things such as poison gas attacks would still do you in, making "Invulnerability" a pretty bad name for the skill.

Dr.Wily runs a gang of Tinkers. I'll stat them up later, but all three followers have Tinker powers of some sort. They don't hide their secret base, instead it's a well known part of town. And insanely well fortified, due to their various Tinker abilities and Wily's own fortification specialization. Their actual gang is backed up by suped up Robots.

Wily tends to go full 'evil genius', with cackling laughing and ranting about his latest invention. It's just for shits and giggles though, and if anyone calls him out on it he uses the 'I'm old, I earned my right to be an asshole' excuse.

>>53357874
Hum, invulnerability aside i dont think vector push protects you from lasers and/or blaster attacks being that vector push affects "objects and people'. Still, you'll be particularly safe from most stuff.

>>53358127
I was trying to build a Friction Man with utility and power in mind. With Invulnerbility stopping all inertia coming towards me, those bullets would just stick, thus I wouldn't be able to immediately send them back in the first place. Instead, I would need to increase the velocity of those bullets across my body with Vector Push and then can fire again. But it's not like I can hit without Marksmanship.

As for those running away from me, is it possible to Vector Push myself across the ground to speed towards runners? I wanted to use my Friction motif to scale surfaces in a hurry but I didn't have enough points for Blitz.

>>53358242
I know my flaws here. Friction Man sucks against lasers, explosions, gas and such. I'm a physical bruiser through and through.

Cauldron runs into plenty of problems with people reneging on their promises, like a tinker who refuses to give over a valuable piece of tech or a person who refuses to pay Cauldron. Enigma is a solution to those problems.

Valuable and important rogues, heroes, and villains have all been “stolen” by Engima so that Contessa’s plan go accordingly. In at least one case, Engima possessed a powerful villain who refused to fight an endbringer.

Few people can really say what Enigma’s personality is like because he impersonates his targets. In a few incidents where Enigma was uncovered, the witnesses describe both an individual with a morbid sense of humor and a consummate professional.

Rumor has it particularly uncooperative but useful capes are kept imprisoned somewhere so that Cauldron can use their powers via Engima.

To say Arsenal has had a troubled life is being kind. All-together he's had a crappy life, even if he got his 'dream job' it was ruined by students who didn't want to learn, and who basically ignored him, and the rest of the staff didn't seem to care. Indeed it was this situation, and the constant wanting to do something more, that lead to his Trigger. Of course Dr.Wily was on the look out for more Tinkers to improve his organization, and offered Arsenal a chance to, if not make a difference, at least have a little fun along the way.

Chase remembers her natural trigger. During one of the worst days she feels she'll ever have. Everything was taken from her. Nothing was given back. She is still going to school, courtesy of her foster family. But even they can be a bit distant. Chase herself is an odd case. Before she lost everything, she didn't have much to begin with. She was raised in some hellhole, hole-in-the-ground that most villains and vigilantes probably crawl out of. But not her. Not Chase. She doesn't seem to see the point in being a vigilante, and she lacks the drive to intentionally make people's lives miserable, so she joined The Wards. Her powers aren't all that great. She gets beaten up a lot, but the more she gets hurt fighting, the more she seems to be able to dish out. Her newfound powers are the only thing she is able to have much control over in her life. It shows.

To call Chase a Hero would be laughable. She became a Ward to fight. That's it. That's where the story ends. If she just so happens to be beating up villains, that makes things easier for her, but she will often go out of her way to challenge her comrades if she's able. And she is able. More able than one would probably be able to tell. Studying many forms of martial arts and all but worshipping Bruce Lee and his philosophies behind creating his own martial art, Jeet Kune Do, comprising of many different forms of martial arts done a little bit differently has inspired her to create her own style of martial arts. Its only as flashy as her fists tend to become while brawling, but its effective.


[cont.]

>>53358749
A strange mix of boxing, MMA, judo, BJJ, and Jeet Kune Do most of all, along with her strangely cunning intellect and ability to change her tactics on the fly in the heat of battle, even on the brink of death, has made her a foe to be feared. Using her martial arts and, at this point, lethally powerful electrocution strikes; Chase seeks to create a better world for herself and sometimes for others. A world that God decided that she never deserved.


Villains, vigilantes, rouges...you name them. Even they have noticed Chase's apparent bloodlust. Her lust for battle, and even more, her need to prove her worth. They will use this weakness against her, but only to turn her to their side. What's keeping her from crossing that line, you may ask? I'll tell you:

Very, very little.

Something within her is noticing her instability. Through sheer willpower alone, she's been able to keep her shard from destroying her body. But its only barely working. After some of her most bloody battles, when it takes all that she has just to stand, she seems to almost spontaneously combust in a bright ball of electricity, before being found on the ground, zapped to shit. It hasn't killed her yet, but if she can't change her shard's mind about her. It soon will. So far she's been able to mend her wounds if she retains consciousness. Needless to say, she's going to need allies with medical knowledge if she doesn't. A lot of it.

Contrary to Arsenal, Cyborg lived a rather privileged life, with her rich and well connected parents, up until the car accident anyway. They had to amputate her arm in the surgery room. Whereas Arsenal and Wily are mostly in this for the fun, Cyborg is out to prove herself. Prove she's still great, prove that she won't be held back by what's happened. She pushes herself to be the best she can be, make better cybernetics, be a better fighter, blink faster, etc. But she's also got a grudge against the Heros, for spending so much time responding to villains, and not enough paying attention to anything else they COULD help with.

Voyeur is quite simply a Journalist turned Intelligence Agent. The man loves nothing more than finding out people's secrets, and hording information. He rarely goes out in the field himself, leaving that to the other three powered members of the gang. Instead he acts as HQ, keeping them all up to date on any useful information, as well as making sure no one tries to get into their base.

By putting shock and awe with combo I can build up power on a target while also disorienting them. Sounds like a good strategy to me.

Got a couple of possible power combos I'm curious about. Let me know how you all think these would work.

1) Invincibility plus Damage Sharing. If I negate all damage, does that mean nobody else takes it, or do I just negate my share and give it to them?

2) Invincibility plus Rocky. Same deal - if I negate the pain, do I ignore the benefits?

3) Infinite Treasury plus Shroedinger. Would each "me" be subject to the one-ton limit until we collapse the waveform, or is it split between all ten actions I take?

Hey Steve, you mind if Cyborg purchased her original robot-arms from your company? She's made her own since she triggered, obviously, but she would have needed an original replacement.

Yes, his storage warehouse security is reaching the point where it is becoming unprofitable to raid it alone.

Hence where you come in to help disable, distract and destroy the heavier security during the raid. Payment will be based on how heavy the security is and will be either wired to you from a secure account or paid in cash after the deed is done, whichever you would prefer.

Everyone is taking Gestation, so since I picked Golden Age I'll be an oldass man by then.
Sucks.

>>53360184
I probably should have picked Golden Age for Wily, but I just wanted the basic 15/15 spread for all of my group.

>>53360184
>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.

>>53360225
I went golden since the time period would have WAY more traditional heroing to do. Plus, maybe the extra time will up my odds of survival.

>>53360263
You know, I have a feeling that Dr.Wily is probably considered a "potential asset" by the Hero Groups. Because Fortification is absolutely amazing for helping people survive Endbringer attacks.

He's set up secret bunkers all over metropolis, and intends to advertise them if an Endbringer hits the city.

>>53360113
For 1 & 2, it looks like they don't activate until you take damage so invincibility wouldn't synergize well. Regeneration on the other hand...
3. I would think each "you" would still pull from the same power pool and have a total limit of one ton. However, you could take 2nd trig Mirror Image for the same points to get several "yous" each with a copy of that power.

How about this combination: Counter + Komnenos. Use Komnenos to reverse and store any power that effects you, then release & Counter it into a different target later.

>>53357348
>We all take our Cauldron vials since we have no powers because of humble beginnings giving us free second triggers. Then I exchange Follower 2 and 3's powers to make Super Follower 2. Then I swap bodies Super Follower 2 and get all their powers. Then I get buffed by kingmaker
My god

>>53360363
That's actually an even better combo than I was thinking. I was thinking of combining Komnenos with either 1 or 2, so I could turn myself into a storage battery of annihilation or blast myself into superhuman might. I think I might try to see if I can make a build with 2 and regeneration, but it might be too expensive.

>>53360150
Sounds easy. A hit and run is fine, I just need to know how long I'm hitting this place.

The man to eventually be known as "the Ghoul" was thrust into the world of parahumans when part of the building he worked in came crashing down around him due to a fight between some capes. He survived, battered and bruised, yet trapped in the ruins with the corpses of his co-workers his only company for several days. He was dragged from the wreckage a changed man; having undergone his trigger due to the brush with death, isolation with multiple dead bodies, and a desperate act of cannibalism. His luck would not improve soon either, as his old employer no longer had a position for him and let him go, forcing him to hastily gain a job maintaining the city's sewers. It was here he gained the will and the base to begin his own campaign against villainous parahumans and criminals in general.

Spending more and more time underground, learning the layout of the various tunnel systems beneath the city, he gained his nicknames due to his appetite for for strange and exotic meats he gains through black-market contacts, the unnerving cackling he lets out while stalking a criminal, and the fact that he seems to be able to take serious wounds without being stopped. Initially garbed in relatively unassuming clothes; a leather jacket, jeans, some gloves, and a tool belt; the most distinctive feature of the Ghoul's costume is the motorcycle helmet with the chin protection removed to reveal his predatory set of teeth. Beneath these clothes the Ghoul's body has grown increasingly inhuman due to the constant use of his main power of Consumption.

His skin is tougher and thicker, covered in patches of scales at some points and has taken on a corpse-like pallor; while his body has grown taller and covered in lean, but dense musculature. His mouth no longer sports a set of human teeth, but one more befitting of a carnivore while his eyes and ears are reminiscent of a predator's. This altered appearance has forced the Ghoul to isolate himself in his civilian life, even at his new job; with only his uncomplaining and dedicated work ethic keeping him from losing it as well. Yet the unseen physical enhancements the Ghoul has wrought upon his body has made him a potentially dangerous foe for those without incredible power and through the use of both firearms and his fists (now more like claws), he his own vigilante justice to the guilty.

Nothing. Mooks and money would be nice but aren't necessary. I'm sure with my puppetmaster style build I should be able to acquire those in due time

Ashkenazi is your average everyday office worker who is currently being employed by a large corporation who is famous for associating and hiring gang members of Empire 88. Not particularly caring for the goals of the Empire Ashkenazi only associates with them because
A. It's easy to steal money from their bank accounts
B. She can use this money to fuel her technological experiments
C. Her loyal companion, WunderWaffen, has been associated with the Empire since his birth and joining the gang simplified things.
Combat style involves standing still while ordering Wunderwaffen around on the battlefield, combining her strategic genius with his raw strength. Identity doesn't matter much since the business is already pretty famous for hiring nazis and if Ashke is caught out she can simply stand still and wait for the cape to leave in frustration

Bio:
Remember when Lung fought off Leviathan that one time? He also burned down half the city. Rosemary triggered in the basement of her father's church, scared out of her mind and praying the whole time. A lover, not a fighter, Rose is making a name for herself putting out fires with her power and providing support for more combat oriented heros. Near useless against common criminals she shines in Cape fights, acting as a force multiplier.

She dreads her first Endbringer fight knowing she'll be expected to stand beside the greatest of the greats and provide assistance, putting her 100 meters in harm's way. She keeps her ability to see identify other people's powers on the DL, fearing accidentally breaking the Unwritten Rules. She's embraced her abilities with fire, finding joy in shaping it to artistic ends.

Rosemary is still unsure of how to think of her powers in light of her faith, but has found a mentor in Escalation, an older Sikh cape specializing in genetic manipulation and swordfighting. She maintains a lively (though censored) letter-writing conversation with her father and has formed a deep friendship with her less outgoing teammate Sleet, a weather and ice manipulator.

WunderWaffe has lived his entire life under the care of The Empire. His family were members back when the gang was first founded and as such WW sees it as his duty to continue his ancestor's legacy and continue to serve. Since birth WW has been one of the elite forces that the Empire unleashes on the streets and is a skilled shot, master gun manufacturer, physically /fit/,and is highly aware of his surroundings because of this. A man of honor he has pledges his servitude to his mistress Charlotte Coughlin who managed to pull a few strings for him and not only saved him from the death penalty but also convinced her superiors to employ him in the same organization she works for. She has further enhanced his abilities with the various augmentations that she has upgraded his body with. Serving the day as a body guard being controlled by Charlotte, WunderWaffe then changes his night routine by serving as Ashkenazi's personal bodyguard

>>53361105
My guy wasn't planning on burning the city down. In fact he uses his Ice-powers to help prevent damage caused by the flames.

He's be happy to help Pentacost as well if she asked.

Best I've got. I'm not terribly good at names. Especially thematic names.

He would. Because Steam? has a hero complex. He wants to help everyone he can.

>>53361363
I'd say ColdFire but its edgy as shit

>>53361421
Yeah, I was also trying to avoid Edgy names. The concept itself of Ice/Fire powers can come across as Edgy, and I wanted the dude to be the classical "I want to save everyone!" hero type.

>>53361363
How does Freezerburn sound?

>>53361468
Yeah, that sounds good. It fits, it's not too edgy, and it's almost a pun. I like it.

>>53361677
OK, so What would Freezerburns personality be like? Why did he join the words?

>>53361786
Yes. He's a very outgoing person, and very optimistic. He just wants to save as many people as he can, and is willing to get hurt to do so. Tends to see the best in people, even villains, and tries to help them if he thinks they need it. Though he will back off if asked.He joined the Wards because it seemed like the best way to help as many people as he could, even with all of the constraints, particularly PR constraints the Wards/Protectorate are under.

He dreams that one day Heros won't exist, because helping each other will be something everyone does. It won't be left to just a few extraordinary people to do so.

>>53363709
>thinking heroes do underground races
Heroes are for nerds.

>>53363709
I was thinking of making a hero, but I did the math and I couldn't take blindspot if I did. And I need blindspot, because otherwise he can't be entirely unexpected, which is absolutely essential to his shtick.

Plus, he'd really be doing the same thing as he is now. Maybe he'll grow up and change his ways, become a hero and have an actual character arc. As it is, he's a heister, Fast & Furious style.

>>53363722
He probably got his start beating the shit out of mundanes in Street Races before realizing he could do way more interesting and profitable things with his cars.

>>53363730
I considered it, because it's actually called REDLINE, but Yellow Line has more energy overall and I never liked the Machine Head refrain.

>>53363779
Yes, absolutely. It's not really got a lot of plot substance, but it's incredibly well made and fun as hell. It's what a popcorn movie should be.

>>53363779
Its probably the single greatest anime movie ever. Or at least the one you can feel could about introducing to your friends.

>The information online and in the papers had told me this: Lung could gradually transform. Maybe it was based on adrenaline, his emotional state, or something, but whatever it was, it made his powers more potent the longer he was in a fight. He healed at a superhuman rate, got stronger, got tougher, got bigger, and he grew armor plating complete with blades at each fingertip.
So how do I become this dude on this chart again? I don't see any powers that replicate canon heroes from the literal setting

>>53363954
Only a couple of them are based on canon characters, and some of those are only one part of their power. Like Flight, or Personal Shield.

>>53363954

I just decided to contiunue reading and his description didn't even stop there
>Rumor had it that he even grew wings if he fought long enough. If that wasn’t enough, he was a pyrokinetic, which meant he could create flame out of thin air, shape it, intensify it, and so on. That power apparently got stronger as he transformed, too.
Why can't we be like him? OP told us we were meant to be like the canon characters which weren't any stronger than a regular x-men (think: like Beast)

OP lied.

>>53364096
Because Lung was never meant to be JUST street level. Just play by the rules.

Top kek, every character concept I have done for fun have Blindspot. Why wouldn't anyone take it? The benefits are too good.

>>53364262
Yeah, but it still made my character concept somewhat unworkable, so I ended up switching to something else.

>>53360548
It says it can't be used by someone that has already triggered and humble beginnings means you haven't triggered yet. and if you're anal about the can only be given to other people part then they could just give each other their vials.

>>53364262
I dunno, it has to fit with the character I think. It's really strong, but it makes me feel weird to give it to everyone. I prefer to take plot convenience. It does almost the same thing, but doesn't add on a layer of almost snowflake-esque specialness.

>>53364321

Delphi: When You Need To Know

>>53365669
Beneath the facade, Delphi Research is actually just one 15 year old girl with aggravated social anxiety disorder, parents who are out of the house 18 hours a day, and super powers that let her replicate the work of scores of hackers and researchers by herself. After triggering, Samantha found herself supremely uninterested in life as either a hero or villain, yet she felt her powers crying out to be used. While recuperating from her incident she read every book on computer programming and hacking she could find, then generated several false legal personas and used them to found Delphi Research LLC. Her first few jobs netted her enough money to rent out a basement apartment on her block and fill it with computers (which she's capable of operating from anywhere in her house, thanks to her powers) and a small workshop for crafting custom recon devices.

Samantha considers all of Metropolis to be her backyard and has meticulously arranged for nearly every public place within it to be covered by some form of observation device. She keeps careful tabs on all the noteworthy capes in the city - she hasn't had a need to use any of this information thus far, but figures a little paranoia is healthy for someone in her position.

So I don't know the first thing about worm, but I do like superheros. And it seems like you all are doing your own thing. It's probably fine If I'm a little clueless, yeah?

The concept I'm wanting to go for is go for second-triggered telekinesis, which would basically be my only power because that eats up most of my points immediately. But I'd be able to move around up to 100 tons with my brain and also those things can be living. So that seems useful in a lot of situations. That's not too powerful, is it? Especially if I balance it out with psychic nosebleeds?

>>53364216
Forget to mention the changes in backstory. Now instead of her best friend killing herself close enough for the blood to get in her mouth, her stage parents bought her a Cauldron Vial so she could be the one thing that will be in the center of the public eye in the foreseeable future: A Cape. She is now a plant in the Wards, and vents her stress about all this on any serious criminals that she happens to come across. I'm also going to say that she limits herself to controlling one person at a time for both in character (Jobbing) and Out of Character (Better for Roleplay) reasons
Would it be reasonable to say that Door Me and Cauldron Vial could be combined to represent a person with Similar powers to Doormaker/Clairvoyant, but limited to microscopic portals in order to avoid inconvenience for other people with Doormaker and other issues that would come with my power all but requiring use of said abilities? I guess I could just take Unlimited Shard Works, give it to a criminal, control them, have them look at those two, and then put them in a coma, but that feels weird.

>>53365926
Forgot to attach the image. Costume is probably pic related but with a Helmet, since attacking Thinkers and Masters first is common sense, so having armour is a good idea. The sword is probably a lighter one though.

>>53365885
You don't need to balance yourself out, the 15 point limitation does that job fine, I think. Telekinesis is strong for sure, but so does almost every other second trigger 10 point power. So if you can afford to skip the nosebleed you should, unless you want your character to have a nosebleed. You can still be mental controlled, attacked by a stealth character, sniped, etc. So you are not almighty.

>>53365885
Worm has a very wide range of power levels. At the very top you have a guy who can fly at subsonic speeds and shoot homing lasers, a woman who can fly and is physically invulnerable, and a dude who can eventually become Godzilla if he fights for long enough. At the bottom end... well, the main character controls bugs and eventually becomes one of the most effective villains on the East Coast before her face turn and manages to make that work via a combination of thinking on her feet and making very good friends.

So on that scale, your telekinetic is not OMGWTFHAX broken, and as >>53366098 noted you still have some very definite weaknesses. The fun part of the Worm setting is finding inventive ways to use banal-seeming powers, but there's nothing wrong with having a catch-all like telekinesis.

Could you use Counter or Adaptation to get Teacher's ability to give thinker/master/tinker powers without becoming his slave?

>>53366245
Not by themselves, no - as written, Counter and Adaptation are purely defensive, i.e. they only protect you from other powers. They're also debatabley unable to protect you from Teacher's powers - Counter says you have to notice the power being used on you (unless you Second Trigger it) and Adaptation states that it's ineffective against "purely cognitive" powers, which Teacher's power probably is.

This is mostly moot, because a) the only ways in the CYOA to get in-canon powers are Power Hub and Unlimited Shard Works and USW wouldn't work on Teacher's power (because it has no physical effect to observe) and b) the previous version of the OP states that the canon Worm characters do not exist in Metropolis.

>>53366501
I forgot Copycat. That would also work, but with no Teacher around to copy it's irrelevant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>53366501
There is also Body Swap if you take the second trigger for it, though in relation to anon's question it's moot and it would be far better used on someone like Glastig or Contessa.

>>53366501
Second Trigger Masquerade actually does the trick for ephemeral powers. Does have the issue of giving you his face though.

>>53366598
>>53366624
And yeah, let's just throw in Suzerain, Enthrallment, and Khepri for other fun ways to get other people's powers. (Though I guess at that point it's not technically you using their powers? Depends on how you look at it.)

>>53363954

Vampirism ST and Rocky can reach some of that power level, any damage you take will make you stronger thanks to Rocky, and vampirism will both allow you to heal and get even stronger and faster.

If you are a cauldron cape you could take Stone Skin ST as a additional power, now can tank bullets from the get go while slowly growing stronger and faster.

If you team up with another player who has kingmaker, you can pick omnicombustion and flight to complete the mini-Lung package.

>>53366245

I think only 2nd trigger Protocol can stop all master effects, so if you set up a protocol before getting a power from teacher, the protocol will trigger and set you free once teacher tries to control you.

Of course since teacher is not part of this setting, that point is moot.

>>53366245
IIRC, the OP in the last thread stipulated no Trump powers.

>>53367568
There is a link to the last thread, it doesn't say that. Why are you so bad at lying?

>>53367792
Hold on, you're absolutely right. It doesn't. I feel like I'm having a stroke. I distinctly remember it saying that.

Well, I guess I'm wrong. Carry on then.

>>53367811
Wait, you made a legitimate mistake and weren't trying to troll?
Shit, my mistake man. Sorry for being an ass.

>>53367825
It's fine, I would have assumed the same thing if someone was claiming something which is patently false. Though now I'm questioning why I thought it in the first place. Guess it doesn't really matter though.

Why are you EVIL? Why are you a VIGILANTE?
WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!

>>53365572
NEEEEEERDS

>>53367903
Because robbing banks with my ROBOT GORILLAS is fun.

>>53367903
It just sort of happened. Had a hard life, got into doing bad stuff for fun and because it paid the bills. Triggered, and I guess I just sort of fell into doing super powered stuff. Frankly, it's more interesting than doing good stuff. At least for the time being. Plus, no one is going to pardon me for the stuff I've already done just because I start waving a white flag and when it really comes to the real crunch the villains vs hero playtime falls to the wayside.

Would you say the Proficiency power makes you pretty noticeably skilled, or just like competent with whatever your holding? Trying to hammer out what I want my character to be.


>>53367882
Talking to Masters: not even once.

>>53367985
I think noticeably skilled because you don't have to worry about thinking about what you're doing or recalling what you're doing. It's like you're on partial autopilot, which even real professionals don't really get to do.

That's my perspective though, and probably not even right.

Stress and Hormones combined with the power to completely control someone with few consequences as long as it doesn't result in severe injury means that puppeteering people to do somewhat painful or humiliating isn't really something I don't want to do, particularly if they're in a gang.
Was trying to think of a reason for the S9 Interest, and ended up with "Assuming that a tendency to be somewhat elaborately dickish to enemies that she considers to be acceptable targets as petty stress relief from overbearing parents and the terrible state of the world as sadistic murderous tendencies"

For my character is not so much being evil, he is just being pragmatic, he did think about going the hero route when he got his powers, but the rewards are laughable and every more you make is policed by the entire PRT, you cant have payback and break the legs of someone who fucked you over, thats a big no-no for a hero.

Being a hero also means that you risk dying or getting maimed for life every day, and your reward is a miserable paycheck and a pat on the head? No thank you.

Being part of a gang means having much more freedom while earning much more, money, women, drugs, money, respect and money are much easier to get for a villain, he likes the finer things in life and is willing to take what he wants by force, and its not like he is killing people every day like the real monsters, a little robbery now and then is all harmless fun.

Insecurity also plays a big role for him going the villain route, he desperately wants to bury his weak pre-trigger self by cultivating a image of a tough dude.

>>53368390
Technically it would be stronger than her, but Martial arts, Parkour, Banter, and maybe tactics and first aid, then for the powers pocket room(she has a history of pulling way too big of objects out of nowhere), and Perfect Mind with it's trump. Mind you it would be appropriate to have a friend with the Genetics tinker ability to give her some sort of immunity to toxins, though I guess the breaker power works too but that's way more than she has. Might go for Peak condition, though she isn't that strong, just a skilled gymnast.

>>53368543
>a friend with the Genetics tinker ability to give her some sort of immunity to toxins
So basically the Joker.

>>53368548
Actually Poison Ivy in this case, as that's who gave her an immunity to poison, and who would best fit that Tinker ability. Joker I would give Macgyver with the second trigger, and perfect mind with second trigger, then either fake death, or respawn, though respawn brings up the point cost a bit much it is more thematic for him than fake death.

Let's make a Slaughterhouse Member, for fun.
Name:Huntsman
Worthless Opponent- 0/22(Shard)-4/37(Character)

Male, Adult(Early 30s), No Identity
Custom Costume

Huntsman has been around for a while. A 'Cape Serial Killer', both in that he is a cape, and that he hunts down and kills capes. His past is not well known, and he doesn't particularly care for sharing it. But he ended up killing a cape in self defense some years back, the shock of killing someone, combined with the fact he enjoyed the feeling of taking someone's life, was what caused him to Trigger.

After all, if all of the 'canon' groups are empty, we're gonna need to fill in our own Slaughterhouse. Huntsman has at least one actually loyal follower in the Slaughterhouse with him.

No appropriate image for him, so have this Vampire instead.

>>53357341
I read this in JK Simmon's voice everytime.

Stand seems a little overpowered. If I'm understanding it correctly, it's essentially 3 free points, can let you bypass the slot limit, and if you use a second trigger on it, and using a second trigger on it is essentially 2-4 for the price of 1. The only reason not to take a stand is if you hate Jojo.

>>53369193
Yeah, certain powers become notably more powerful with the limit on points. But I've built the characters I've built without Stand, just because I wanna play with specific themes.

>>53361090
Mind if I make another 88 member tomorrow? I've got an idea for it.

>>53369233
How many capes are people supposed to make anyway? OP mentioned turning it into an actual game last night or something.

I got a whole bunch of bad ideas.

>>53369292
Dunno. I've already made three actual characters, and three followers for one of those characters.

Only one Hero, but then Worm is supposed to be a setting where Villains outnumber Heros like 2-to-1 at minimum.

He triggered when gang members had him on his knees and forced him to watch as they abused his family. He wanted to take their pain. He wanted to inflict the same pain on the men who were doing this to him and his family. So he did, and he didn't stop, knowing that the city was crawling with the same scum, preying on people like him and his family. He tirelessly stalks the streets, shouldering the pain of as many victims as he can before he inflicts them on those he believes deserve it. His wife divorced him, and took their children with her. He mostly leaves them alone, believing the distance keeps them safe, as much as it pains him to do so.

Haven't looked at the others, but options for tinkers are kind of gay.

>>53369751
They do seem to be set up in a bit narrow corridors, but I just assume tinkers in general are pretty versatile like they seem to be in the serial, with the categories just being their specialization.

Dumped onto Earth Bet by Cauldron, seemingly birthed from a blazing inferno to any witnesses, her initial confusion and horror coupled with her poor grasp of her new powers caused her to start multiple uncontrollable fires that took days to put out, causing a small fortune in damages, and left a number of wounded or worse. Since been drifting around comitting seemingly random acts of arson whenever not somehow temporarily recruited by other villains as heavy hitter, sometimes only to burn any stolen goods out of either carelessness or by accident. Risks losing herself in the act of simply burning things as it makes her feel at ease, threatening to simply become the fire. Tries to avoid bringing unnecessary harm to people, but as she drifts deeper into the fire, she becomes less aware of what is and is not supposed to burn. Also doesn't help/hurt that burning things goes a great deal to release some of all that pent up anger. Enjoys even the lamest firepuns, she HATES firepuns on her expense.

>>53369783
Well it's not just that. If I want to build laser guns, I have to take Small Arms AND Second Trigger? Why? If I want to make flight packs or sonic weapons or armor and such, I have to take Wavelength, which is 25 points? When somebody else could take Flight, Sound Control (plus Second Trigger), and Invulnerability for a total of 18 shard points and not have to jump through any of the hoops I would have to as a Wavelength tinker to make things that give me breakable, strings attached devices that would let me mimic that AND I have to pay more? Looking at the other options, it really seems like things weren't well thought out.

Tinker fans really got the shaft here.

I blame Cauldron for all of this. Long story short, I went to bed one day safe at home, and woke up in the Wormverse in the middle of a villain's safehouse, with a brain full of skills, the body of a Greek God, and a bunch of blasters up my nose. Fortunately, that's about when I learned that I'm totally fucking invincible. Anything that happens to me just get stored away, where I either send it away forever or send it back out. I feel a little bad about how I learned that one, but fair is fair - if he didn't want to get vaporized he shouldn't shoot death rays at people.

I can do a little bit more than that, but I like to keep that a little secret of mine.

Anyway, after that, I did what anyone in my circumstances would do - I became Batman. I didn't join the Protectorate or anything, though. We don't see eye to eye. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some psycho killer, but I always thought the unwritten rules crap was just that. Murderers don't get to go home and take off their masks and pretend to be upstanding citizens while I shake my fist and say "next time!" They get their Miranda as I hand over a stack of evidence to local law enforcement. Or maybe I just fight them as hard as they're fighting me - like I said, fair is fair.

>>53367903
Because being a hero would involve using my powers far more often. Villainy lets me carefully hoard my favorite charges while not feeling too bad if I don't use my very best stuff and it goes wrong. I'm one of the first to go for a truce with the heroes in times of crisis, but doing it anywhere near full time would be a huge drain on my resources.

I would ask for connections with other Rogues but it seems they have their own safeties secured. What businesses are worth being a bodyguard for if you're a cape? What types of businesses are even in this Metropolis?

>>53367903
>Falling for the protectorate meme
I choose freedom.

>>53367903
Cauldron made sure heroes would be silly and ineffective. After all, the real fight is with the Endbringers and Zion - everything else is just a way to get more people with superpowers active and keep them active until the final fight.

Which is fine if you literally only care about human survival. But if you care at all about human quality of life, then you can't just dance to Cauldron's tune.

Cauldron isn't evil, Contessa did nothing wrong.

She gave her best formula to someone with a massive inferiority complex. Everything that went wrong in Worm could have been avoided if Eidolon had been someone who wasn't a depressed little bitch.

>>53372443
It provided a way to keep heros and villians from killing each other. Contessa's goal was to build an army and you cant have an army that doesnt want to fight together.

>>53372771
No, the Endbringers fucked everything up. They killed a quarter of the Parahumans fighting them on a good day, and destroyed anyone trying to come up with an alternate solution besides "fight each other until you all die." They were explicitly why they had to trigger Golden Morning early before the world got too destabilized. No Endbringers meant close to a decade more time, plus they wouldn't have lost some incredible assets like Sphere and Richter. Possibly Hero and Manton as well, although I can't remember if that was also a Ziz plot or just him fucking up and accidentally his daughter.

Pencil is all about keeping things running. This motherfucker joined early on with Cauldron as a drone - not very interesting and not very useful, but important in filing all the things Cauldron needed filed, writing memos for other Cauldron drones, and keeping documented reports of capes.

There's some merit to being good at your job, and having too many people means a lot of potential for leaking information. It's hard to discern people's motives sometimes, after all. Pencil was easy to discern. He's hard working, but simple minded. Rather than dealing with an office worth of random people, Cauldron found that having an office worth of Pencils instead might be a better idea.

They don't have a huge need for office workers, but they do have need for someone to note down and file the results of their experiments. And we're missing a 'Number man' Equivalent as well. Someone to run the numbers on economies around the world, and to provide 'secure' banking for Villains.

Number Man, secretly, works for Cauldron.

>>53373630
Part of the light reading I did went into Number Man. He served as a inspiration, but Pencil is toned way the fuck down.

Number Man seems to be brilliant, the kind of guy to figure out finance in a few seconds.

Pencil could absolutely take over experiment files and world economies, but he wouldn't do in such a sexy way. Instead of "I'll give you the account numbers of the last 500 people I worked with as well their last 500 investments from memory", he's the type to say "I have the files of the last 500 people I worked with. Clones 12 to 46 are still writing up the spreadsheets."

He lacks that sexy hyperintelligence that Number Man has.

>>53373804
>Number Man seems to be brilliant, the kind of guy to figure out finance in a few seconds.
That is literally his power, he sees the numbers in every thing and can apply those numbers almost perfectly.

It makes him good at economies, and good at combat.

It may not be as sexy, but your power will get the job done.

Worm is pretty good early on, but when I read it I got extremely fucking worn down, not because it's long(Though it does start to really, really fucking drag on.), but because the author cannot seem to settle into a fucking coherent and reasonable niche.

It's like the Dragonball Z of fucking reading. The story just keeps fucking ramping up and up and up until it reads like some crazy fucking powerlevel fanfiction mockery of itself.

The earlier on you are, the better it is, really.

Also, nerve controlling dude's power is INSANELY good, it's just that he can't use it to maximum effectiveness whenever. Basically, if he has like an hour to fuck with their nerves and get used to their nervous system, he has the ability to have complete remote body control over them, IE, he literally possesses them and can make them do whatever the fuck he wants up to and including using their powers (See what I mean about powerlevel shit?).

I proudly admit I did not. I will wait for HBO to premier it and watch it then. Should happen in a couple months at worst.

Wait, that kinda makes me wonder, if Contessa or Eidolon don't exist in this setting, why are Cauldron or Endbringers still around.

>>53374211
I don't know about you, but I don't subscribe to that DBZ bullshit where I need to fight someone strong enough to kick my ass out of some mad desire to prove myself. I get that from video games, where there aren't any consequences besides me getting fat.

>>53374279
I see no reason for Contessa, at the very least, not to exist. Seeing as no one, not even Conspirators, can afford her power.

>>53374279
Cauldron exists because people decided to make Cauldron. Endbringers exist because people decided to be Endbringers. We are our own worst enemies.

>>53374279
We would have to make the Endbringers as something else in this setting. Without spoiling to much, we need to give them another vessel, or we could retcon them as shards animating themselves to life.

>>53356288
The power list is pretty retarded.
Why would you use the classifications instead of making a list of possible shard types and then allowing the player to select a specialization based on that shard type?

For example, make Broadcast or Queen Administrator more expensive shards and increase the costs for Trump, Stranger and other relatively more powerful categories.
In fact, how about having a "make your shard" section? You then have options like "dead shard", "shard attunement" (i.e. the opposite of what Leet has to work with), etc.
If you want to build a tinker, you'd have a unique case where you can either take a pure Tinker blueprint shard, or a shard adapted into tinkering. The latter would then either be a method or thematic tinker (e.g. "all equipment is time-based but the specifics are down to materials and the tinker's ideas") instead of one with a set of specific blueprints.

Having a list of pre-defined powers that neatly fit into the power classifications completely defeats the point of the setting.
Note that I do not advocate for building trigger events in a CYOA. That would be fucking retarded.

>>53374401
It's not autism, what you are doing can be done for literally anything in existence.
Someone could literally shitpost, literally have a "What type of shit did you take CYOA" and by your logic it would be /tg/ related

>>53365885
Keep in mind that a Worm power is unlikely to be "just telekinesis", unless it's a dead shard.
Natural triggers get required secondary powers, which can often be as useful or even more useful than their primary powers.
In the case of telekinesis, this might be the ability to sense your surroundings passively.

The entire point of powers is that the shards want you to get creative with them. If it's a power that's too straight-forward to use creatively, it sucks.

Also, the powers have a tendency to go "fuck your puny human viewpoint", which leads to things such as all mind-based powers having no will-save possibility for their victims, a guy who turns into something that is described as a "dragon" but has a fucking four-pronged face, and a girl who passively brainwashes everyone in her vicinity to like her.
Some powers can fuck you over in subtle ways, by fucking up your personality or feeding you information that will make interaction with other humans hard.

It's a bit like monsters from beyond the veil granting people powers, in the genuine attempt to help them, but doing so through their own kinda weird way of looking at the world.

Reichsmarschall was born an raised in German, as part of Gesellschaft. Like more than a few people he was kidnapped by the organization, and forced into horrible situation after horrible situation until he finally Triggered, at which point he was brain-washed by the organization. He is a living weapon, designed to strike at the enemies of his creators. A few years back, when the 88 needed extra numbers, they requested Gesellschaft send over aide, in return for payment at a later date. After much internal discussion it was decided that Reichsmarschall would be sent. Due to his keen tactical mind, and loyal to the path. Not widely liked amongst the other Parahumans, his abilities have gathered him a small following amongst the unpowered members of the Empire.

Glad you like her. I admit I started with wanting to just come up with an asshole villain, but budget constraints forced me to come up with a way to make her work. Which is how I came up with the more sympathetic backstory.

Anyway, you could probably reskin Invincible Batman over there as a Cauldron Conspirator too, since he has 19 points.

>How could these D-Tier capes beat S-Class ones like Glory Hole?
For starters, Glory Girl isn't S-Class. Or even A-Class, really. If her forcefield stayed up she would be, but it doesn't, and so she isn't. Skitter and Taylor aren't D-tier either. Skitter's power is low-key OP, and Tattletale is a powerful Thinker. Glory Girl might have stood a chance if Tattletale didn't have a gun or Skitter didn't have her sister hostage, but they did. So that's how that played out.

>buying into the Glory Hole nickname
Glory Girl is a way better person than any of the Undersiders, by the by.

>>53375418
Ah, ok. Seems a little silly, since you can cheat the 15 point rule by going Dead Shard Humble Beginnings and the Second Trigger rule by going Cauldron on top of that.

I'll write my followers later but they'd be stand users. Overall Deo Dione is a focused but kindhearted individual when it comes to his allies. His Hero name is the same name he uses for his heroism. Along with punchghosting his stand also has the ability 「Around The World」where it makes a time stop bubble. Combined with Mirror Image, Deo's fighting style also allows him to use "afterimages" for multiple physical attacks with his stand along with setting up multiple time stop bubbles to lock down groups of opponents. Time stop can become wickedly OP so Slaughterhouse 9 wants him because the only person with a power similar to this would be Grey Boy and they want a monopoly on this type of power (also Grey Boy might become a rival because of similar time powers).

I know it's a meme but you named it STAND and didn't expect a JoJo post?

>>53375960
Not everyone who bought Cauldron Vials is an actual Conspirator. You may owe a few favours to Cauldron, but you're not one of them.

>>53374404
The tinker idea I came up with for a character is basically a Dexter tinker with two specialties. One is building things that separate him from danger (flight pack, 'invisibility' field, distraction devices, etc) and the other is building things that allow him to engage in confrontations (weapons, stranger counters, etc). He can also build things that overlap in those categories, like ranged weapons that let him fight from a distance, or a personal forcefield that gives him a mild Brute rating, protecting him while letting him confront stronger enemies.

It sounds pretty good, and if the Shard didn't have restrictions he would be really powerful. But the Shard does have restrictions. Normal ones, like resources and having to research principles and powers and such before he could build devices around them. Flight pack works off of reduced gravity from electrostatic levitation and ionic wind, blasters are modeled off of Laserdream's hard light blasts, personal forcefield is modeled off of Manpower's, etc. But the main one is different. Due to the paradoxical nature of his trigger (stress from the inability to escape danger and the powerlessness to confront another, they both meet in his home) his passenger drifts in and out of sync with him. Meaning he won't always get the device he wants. For example, maybe he studies Grue's darkness to find a way to see inside of it (which would fall under enabling confrontation) but instead winds up with the idea to mimic the power, and instead gets a device that essentially blacks out his body by stopping light from entering a personalized field around him and stopping sound from leaving (falls under separation from danger, allowing him to hide). Also consider that the devices need maintenance and repairs, and if the passenger isn't in the right "mood" to help him fix whatever needs fixing, it'll be a real chore.

Sorry for the blog post, but it's hard to capture the nuances of Worm's powers in a cyoa.

The journalism life is solely lived to allow me to observe as many powers as possible, and with the help of Trance and X-Ray Vision i can build up quite the collection. However I am not much more than a collector, and won't disturb the villains greatly. I would like to see them gone eventually, but that is long term. Short term I just want to amass the greatest collection.

Also as a vigilante I love to showoff my collection. I am perhaps a bit young and reckless, but that could never go wrong. I never take threats seriously, because as long as i survive i got their power and everything will be fine right. Strategy and Tactics are my two life-savers.

So, did anyone figure out the ridiculous combo that is Temporal Overwrite + Enthrallment? The potential of borrowing from future without end... Hoo boy.

The Consultant is exactly what her namesake implies - a parahuman consultant, in both senses of the word. She hires out her services to anyone - hero, villain, vigilante, and rogue - who can pay her price. In exchange, she'll tell them how to use their shard in ways they had no idea about, provide tactical and strategic advice, and provide seemingly impossible insights a Parahuman would never have considered.

While her mercenary attitude hasn't won her many friends, the necessity of her abilities has led to an unofficial "hands off" policy regarding her, enforced zealously by Parahumans who might want a consultation someday.
