<nowiki><ref name="Story Arc"></nowiki>Guts & Glory Story Arc as it stands<br><br>Panacea - born Amelia, Marquis' daughter, he only took custody of her after her mother died of cancer.<br><br>Around the age of five or six, the Brockton Bay Brigade (later to become New Wave) attacked Marquis in his home. He protected Amelia with his body, taking a critical blow, and was later brought into custody.<br><br>Amelia was taken in by Brandish and Flashbang, because they were afraid she'd be abused/kidnapped by others who'd blame her for Marquis' actions or use the chance that she was that much more likely to trigger to get a child with powers.<br><br>A short time later, the Brockton Bay Brigade unmasked before the public, advocating capes without masks.<br><br>A short time after that, Fleur was murdered in her civilian identity, putting an end to that movement. Lightstar (brother to Carol/Brandish and Sarah/Lady Photon) quit the team.<br><br>Amelia's (Now Amy's) childhood was somewhat lonely - Carol/Brandish didn't quite want her, Flashbang was battling clinical depression. Amy grew close to her adoptive sister, Victoria, who was the same age as her.<br><br>On being informed that she was the daughter of a notorious villain, she withdrew into herself some. She became worried that she'd follow in his footsteps (quite possibly helped by Carol/Brandish's attitude).<br><br>Victoria triggered (easily) in gym class, started to go out in costume, more and more as years went on, as Glory Girl.<br><br>Amy triggered a little later on. It was more devastating than joyous, because it was one step closer to her following her father's path. There was a great deal of pressure as well (outlined in the latter half of interlude 3), with her inability to heal everyone.<br><br>Carol's attitude, one can guess, became even more distant.<br><br>Amy realized she had feelings for Victoria. She bottled them up. Readers have speculated that Glory Girl's 'awe' aura might have had long term effects on the emotionally vulnerable Amy, helping this along (or making it happen).<br><br>Bank Robbery (late chapters in arc 3) - Tattletale threatens to out Amy and/or tell her her father's identity. Amy freaks.<br><br>Post-Bank Robbery - Amy has a conversation with Gallant, she confesses the strain of having a healing power, he notes how close she is to breaking, and that she has 'strong' feelings towards him. Implied to be love, but it's (as later stated) jealousy and resentment; he's the guy who's dating the girl she loves.<br><br>Endbringer attack - Gallant dies. Flashbang (Victoria and Amy's father) receives a head injury. Amy's desperately afraid of using her powers on people's brains because she knows how easily she could cross a line, and doesn't heal dad. Grows more distant from the rest of her family. Victoria is upset that Amy won't provide emotional support after Gallant (Victoria's boyfriend) dies. Amy's struggling with her mixed feelings over his death. Gap widens.<br><br>Things come to a head when the S9 arrive. Amy finds out who her dad is, and Bonesaw forces Amy to either heal her adoptive father's brain or let him die, and Amy heals him. Convinced there's no way she can stay, she flees, striking out on her own. Victoria intercepts her, and a shaken Amy unconsciously/unwittingly uses this previously unexplored aspect of her power on her sister, altering Victoria's feelings for her. Victoria runs.<br><br>S9 continue rampage, and Amy gets swept up into it when Mannequin and Siberian attack her. She temporarily teams up with Undersiders to give a helping hand and to help her sister. Victoria gets injured by Crawler, Skitter rescues her, Amy stalls the damage and puts Victoria in a cocoon of fleshy bits, to restore the previous damage. Flees.<br><br>Jack and Bonesaw catch up with Amy, and Jack engages in head games with the already unbalanced, unstable girl. Skitter intervenes before giving chase to Jack/Bonesaw. Amy/Victoria flee.<br><br>S9 arc resolves. In the wake of it, Carol/Brandish is left wondering where her daughters are. They finally get a lead (thanks to Tattletale, in exchange for New Wave leaving Undersiders alone) and find a distraught Amy. The girl used her power on Glory Girl, and at the end of her rope, suffering a mental breakdown at at least one point, she used her power on Victoria, and forgot how to put the girl back together. Using her power only forces her to face the scale of the changes she's already made, and in panic/desperation she does more damage than she fixes.<br><br>Victoria goes to Asylum. Amy asks to go to the Birdcage, and authorities weigh the risk of her having another breakdown (and creating a plague that eats plastic/glass/stone/whatever/doing a lot of damage to a lot of people) against the risks of incarceration, put her in Birdcage. Amy reunites with her father.<br><br>In Marquis' arc, we see Amy trying to come to terms with what she did. Marquis is trying to ensure she (and he) don't face rebellion from within his cell block due to the issues her presence poses, and organizes a meeting with the other cell block leaders. He manipulates and charms his way through the worst of it. The meeting of Amy and Glaistig Uaine (a cell block leader with the ability to retain the 'spirits' of recently dead parahumans, along with their powers) clues Amy into something. She thinks she's figured out a crucial piece of the overall puzzle, and outlines it all to the surveillance systems that Dragon has in the prison, in the hopes that Dragon will pick up on it and act on the information. The Simurgh alters course and blocks/muddles the signal, and Dragon doesn't receive it.<br><br>Amy gets a tattoo so she has a reminder of Victoria and the crime Amy committed against her, without having to dwell so heavily on it. - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?682837-Worm-Bet-the-Alternate-Thread-The-Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogy-Still-Sucks-Though&p=16772221#post16772221 Comment by Wildbow regarding story arc]</ref>

Subject: Your Nilles University Application
August 21st, Y1
Dear Applicant (Point_Me_@_The_Sky@mail)
We regret to inform you that your application for graduate study in our department was turned down. We look at each application and applicant as a whole and decisions are based on a composite of information including your previous academic performance, referrals, relevant professional activities, proposed research statements, and test scores.
Due to a high volume of applicants, this message has been partially automated.  Your application was received by paper and email and discussed by me and one other faculty member.  We responded by email as per your preference.  We would like to stress, for your particular application:
•  That we would very much like you to apply again in future years.
•  That we would encourage you to use the same email address, as we can easily tie it back to this application.
•  We felt your academics were very strong.
•  We felt your extracurriculars were exceptional.
•  We felt your references were exceptional.
•  In a time when records are often lacking and references may be hard to identify or contact, your application stood above and beyond in how complete and thorough it was.


Nilles is one of three Universities serving an estimated population of fifty million on Earth Gimel and its associated territories, and it is the sole post-secondary institution offering graduate studies.  Over one and a half million bright and eager minds have applied to Nilles in avid hope of starting or resuming their educations, and regretfully, with our current facilities, we cannot accept more than twenty thousand.
Although these circumstances mean we must regretfully send you an unfavorable response, we appreciate your application.  We wish you the best in your future endeavors and look forward to hearing from you next year.
Yours truly,
Dr. Marilyn Ginbar
Graduate Advisor

Grad school implies that Point_Me isn’t a teenager/old enough to have finished undergrad degree. Which is pretty impressive considering they’re a cape – balancing cape life and college can’t have been easy. I wonder if she has a Thinker power, instead of the Blaster that many have been theorizing?
Also, Glitz and Point live together (given her “say hi to the family” comment, they could even be related), which is an interesting detail, but I wonder how much they actually see each other, given their chat history. Curioser and curiouser…

Looks like Point_Me_@_The_Sky is a high school teacher in their civilian persona – “might go for long trip before h.school semester starts + I get busy with work.” (Alternative would be that they’re a high school student, but in that case they wouldn’t be applying to grad school.)
Also I’m impressed that they’ve got grad schools again, so soon after the apocalypse …

A caped high school teacher? I have vague recollections of one of the teachers at Taylor’s school being a cape, but I don’t have the free time to sort through the archives to confirm. Either way, I presume they have to let their school know, for student safety issues and the like. I wonder if Sky’s cape status is seen as a negative on the grad school application.
Also, I bet Sky studies astronomy or astrophysics, and their power has nothing to do with their name.

ironroomenigma on October 31, 2017 at 00:36
I like the idea that it was because Sky is a cape. That might have been what they meant by “sentiment”. It’s possible that Sky maintains a civilian identity, though that doesn’t rule out the discrimination, provided the Uni has a Private Investigator or Thinker on hand.
Excited for the rest!!

TheHobbler on October 31, 2017 at 00:40
I’m afraid all we have are Mr. G and the post S9 principal. And they aren’t capes.

Parrakarry on October 31, 2017 at 00:47
Don’t think any teachers at Taylor’s school are confirmed or even suspected capes, if anyone can contradict me please do.
Reply
sheer_falacy on October 31, 2017 at 01:17
Remember that this is their Cape in Civilian Clothes account, so it shouldn’t show up as a cape. So the school shouldn’t even know.

“Nilles is one of three Universities serving an estimated population of fifty million on Earth Gimel and its associated territories”
Damn….. fifty million is not that much. My (possibly unfounded) assumption is that Gimel received a large proportion of Bet survivors, and maybe not too many other survivors. If so, the population has dwindled immensely.

“Point_Me_@_The_Sky: Rational part of me thinks high demand program + only so many grad students allowed in
Point_Me_@_The_Sky: That part of me outnumbered 14 to 1 tho”
I do believe that number is too specific to have no significance. Perhaps Point_Me is in fact the only character in Worm confirmed to have fourteen irrational voices in their head alongside one voice that thinks itself rational. Conclusion: Point_Me is Cherish.

It’s definitely too specific – they go on to claim that there’s “15+” alt-earths, which fits the pattern.

Do you mean 25% and 14% here? One third corresponds to approx 33%, so a bit of a sudden jump there :).

A third the number of people applying (2.5% of 500,000, or vs. 1.4% of 1,500,000), not the # of people accepted.

Ah. I think I got caught up with the fractions 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6, and assumed they were talking about the same thing. Rereading it makes sense now :).

<!--“Power,” Citrine said.  She turned her back to the portal to meet my eyes, her dress flaring slightly with the rotation of her body.
“Power isn’t magical,” I said.  “It creates as many problems as it solves.”
“Power is less a thing unto itself than it is a journey.”
“To where?”
Her eyes were penetrating as she gazed at me.  “Not all journeys have destinations.  Power is the ability to effect change, and people who create change ride that tide, with far-reaching effects.  For some of us, that’s something we’re born into.  Our fathers or mothers instill us with a hunger for it from a very early point in time.  We’re raised on it, always striving to be the top, in academics, in sports, in our careers.  Then we either run into a dead-end, or we face diminishing returns.”
“Less and less results for the same amount of effort,” Grue said.
“Others of us are born with nothing.  It is hard to get something when you don’t have anything.  You can’t make money until you have money.  The same applies to contacts, to success, to status.  It’s a chasm, and where you start is often very close to where you finish.  The vast majority never even move from where they began.  Of the few that do make it, many are so exhausted by the time they meet some success that they stop there.  And others, a very small few, they make that drive for success, that need to climb becomes a part of themselves.  They keep climbing, and when someone like Accord recognizes them and offers them another road to climb, they accept without reservation.”
“Which are you?” Grue asked.  “Did you start with power, or did you fight for it?”
Citrine smiled a little, looking over her shoulder at the tower.  “I suspect Tattletale will tell you, if you’re curious enough to ask.”-->
Snare 13.5
She broke the lingering silence, “Coil told me that people would leave me alone if I got powerful enough.  If I had allies, if I had money, if I scared my enemies enough.”
Info afterwards is useful for how Taylor sees Rachel
power in this battle you’re talking about, everyone loses.”
The Travelers were way, way too fond of that line.
Everyone losses keeps coming up again and again

First draft focused heavily on Faultline, introduced Scion, Legend, Narwhal, Hero, Alexandria and a major heroine named Mary Sue. Introduced Faultline’s crew, which was composed of Newter, Slug (Gregor), Spitfire and a scandanavian girl with Genesis’ power. Later drafts introduced Endbringers, Dauntless, and Cauldron.

Schism/TELUTT v4: Everyone. Mary Sue gets a sex change and becomes Eidolon. Same power, minus the ‘everyone adores me’ aura (unless he needs it).

TELUTTT – One of the cases where I can’t really tell you the story, because some of it extends into spoiler territory. It took place in an earlier timeline (which is why Hero appeared more), stretching from a point before Faultline’s group was brought together, her forming her gang, and all that.

Aegis – well, I was cognizant of the fact that, then, pretty much every notable character I’d done was female. Runechild, Victoria, Amy, Dragon, Narwhal, Mary Sue, Faultline… I think writing from the female perspective is easier on a level, because the emotions aren’t held back, and, heck, I find girls more interesting anyways. But it was getting to the point where it was ridiculous, so I started experimenting on that front.
Mary Sue/Eidolon – See the bit on Aegis, above. The change was made last minute – even as I got four or five arcs into Worm, I was debating whether it would be Mary Sue or Eidolon in this universe. The decider pushing me to make the change was (as with Slug/Gregor, Disaster Area/Faultline) that the name was already taken.


Sovrano – I agree on the school thing, Spaceman. I think I was writing it more to get a sense of why people did it in the first place, and to try my hand at it, than to tell a story I wanted to tell. I wasn’t that into it, and it was kind of a slog.

Line 157: Line 386:
Ramrod was kind of similar to Skitter in that she was an (arguably) good person in a cynical – she was new to her powers, entering the Supreme’s organization from the ground level, but her priorities were mainly ensuring that her family was taken care of. As she ascended in the ranks, keeping that perspective would have been the main challenge. In terms of the greater plot, there was the question of why the villains were so organized and why Goddess, the leader of the superhumans, was able to keep every superhuman in line.

As far as I’m concerned, Supreme Earth is canon in the Wormverse. It probably won’t ever show its face, but it’s an alternate reality that falls in close parallel with Worm’s. Beyond the use of the name Ramrod, Supreme Earth’s characters weren’t really reused (though I think Regent might have poked his head in for one draft).

Well, there -is- a wiki. Just nobody’s really contributing. Some people, like Valravn, are creating the pages, but there’s no synposis – it’s just a framework. I’m grateful for his work and for the ability to reference it (which I use sometimes), but it’s thin as resources go. The deal I made at the time of the wiki’s conception still stands. If people edit the actual character/chapter pages, I’ll add trivia, detail and author’s notes.

Versus Dragon: If I remember right, it was the first chapter featuring Circus. You’ll notice she recurs – she was a protagonist for a stretch. She, a ‘Miss Miasma’ (tinker specializing in gases) and ‘Highbrow’ (with Browbeat’s powers) robbing a bank when Dragon shows up. The approach was very different (kick the door in, and they ran instead of trying to fight, despite being a more offensive team than the Undersiders, ironically) but I did use the same blueprints for the bank layout.

Line 165: Line 395:
Relevance? Well, I think it marks one of my first in-setting attempts to show a hostile takeover by villains (Supreme Earth was such on a much larger scale) and their attempts to manage a city once they’d seized it. Why didn’t it work? Narwhal was too powerful for a protagonist, and the length would have put it into an awkward place, too long for a short story and too short for a novel or even a novella. Once I realized that, I lost steam.-->

Welcome to the Worm Wiki sandbox!
This page exists so that you can practice editing or formatting (see Help:Editing) without changing any serious content. Feel free to try wiki editing out here first.
There is a tutorial on the Central (coordinating) Wikia that will step you through more of the things you can do. Wiki allow for rather complicated formatting. It can look overwhelming when you begin, but don't let it worry you. Just start with the basics... enter some text, and learn the other pieces as you go. Your content contributions are welcome and important. The wiki is a collaborative effort and others can help with formatting and other improvements.
Best wishes!
