:Ah, but see, I love tormenting people. I’ve got a bit of a mean streak. I’ve seen people on Spacebattles & other forums saying they want Taylor to have a power boost. I know that there’s readers of ‘shounen’ series that are so used to the protagonist getting that next power increase (The week of training in an isolated location, learning that special technique, going super saiyan, whatever). I also know the traps inherent in going down that road.<br><br>So it’s fun to tweak people’s noses just a little, knowing what they’re hoping for.

<!-- Disaster shook her head, “Most of it is really passive. When the first heroes went to the North to figure out what was going on, they found a ton of really hostile fungus growing out of one of the glaciers. Some of the fungus is dangerous enough that the entire world is preparing for the time it starts to spread again. Some of it is just useful... like the fabric.”
“Doesn't look that special,” spoke one of the boys.
“It's tough enough that a bullet won't go through it, virtually impossible to tear or cut, reduces the force of ambient psychic effects and it's fireproof,” she concluded with a glance in Spitfire's direction, “Yes, Bastion was wearing it, so am I, and so is every major league superhero out there.

Questions that guided creation of this character:
Why are there some people in worm who think
stuff capes can do is magic? Are they able to point to specific examples? <br> '''&''' <br> What type of character would people like Sarah, Taylor, and maybe even Jacob, legitimately fear meeting?
 
Now after that fun mission statement let's see how badly I can fail! Retro-cognizant Cape, (past sight) that can reconstruct a dead persons personality well enough to use them for advisement and insight. Is any 'secret' safe?
 
Now some interesting ideas on [https://uncertaintist.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/tulpas-the-latest-thinking-about-thought-forms-from-stanford/ Tulpa's], she likely has an upward limit (three pops up a lot in religion) that this women can construct before resources are strained.  Likely able to do more with a second trigger.
 
Exclusively focused on people? Could it be used to see what happened over a fixed time in a given area, or is that to powerful?
 
Mechanism: cloudy indistinct  "force-fields" nothing straight and neat but able to use it for sensory input, unrestricted by sight. Thus could stand over (earth/water/sky/fire) burial site and use this field to enclose necessary amount of corpse and start the modeling process to 'make' the ghost. Is not a completely accurate (60-80%)modeling only catches actions and not the thoughts in the persons head, best with extroverts.
 
From what I see on reddit someone else already made a character who can talk with ghosts. Mix it up with the ability to see what occurred in the past?
 
Could implant a tulpa into others? A nmurderer would truly know her victim.
==== Personality/trigger ====
The loss of entire family of really intelligent people, not there herself but learned about it afterward.
 
Scholer? traditional and conservative concerned with peoples actions more then thoughts in their head, 'Builder' conservative costudial nature if that does not make her to cliched.
 
How much is already there or how much is it the trigger event?

Roughly the interior space size of a highschool gym. Ever seen the statistics of how far your digestive track, circulatory system, and nervous system can stretch? (look up statistics)
 
probably can absorb and digest lifeforms and use abilities parahumans it has 'eaten' (think Star Wars EU sarlac and Father from animorphs), can only communicate through feelings needs an empath. Is still highly intelligent but can not communicate normally.<!-- power dampening to certain capes inside of body due to a glitched Manton effect-->
 
==== trigger ====
what happened to the old Russian science cities? would they be reactivated?
 
Anyway can transport people by putting objects in the 'foyer' in a compressed space time field anti-bubble(normal space inside and out 'distorted|warped' space 'field|barrier') and then 'shoots' said anti-bubble at destination, 'recall' is inversion based around smash-able object. It can be breached but this does not usually harm occupants ('borrowed' power?). Power is meant to be unusual as the usual factors for negating teleporters do not necessarily apply. no kinetic bombardment, to easy and already been done.

In 1989 a super-pedagogue set up an semi-independent african nation composed of gorillas, super-liberal sign language gorilla commandos 20 years later.
 
emergence of superpowers allows for the independence of tibet with parahuman refuges being made throughout the mountainous region, how much does cauldron know, likely helped set up then turned on when recruits were needed, relations likely soured. this disruption is one of the reason for the CUI forming in the first place.
 
= other stuff =
Look up the Bogatyri they were used for story by [http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Bogatyri_(Earth-616) Marvel] so there may be complications, luckily there are so many different anglicizations. Also what about that Russian guy in Dragonslayers, is that name related to these guys?

== Protagonist Proposals ==
Looking into what powers can do, how positive a persons life can be while still being screwed up, I wonder if I need to work in more irony?#rambling.  
 
[http://static7.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/31666/1017502-baphomet_1.jpg Baphomet]-A bud shard of the smokey bandit guy,<ref>https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15026703/</ref> converts controlled smoke/soot into 'their' smoke(divergent molecular structure?) and can manipulate and sense things through it, has a finite amount that will dissipate over time. When in smoke can use it to travel at higher speeds, like how apparition was handled in the Harry Potter movies. Perhaps they can squeeze through smaller spaces then their mass should allow, or use slimier effect to cloak self and distort their body shape(that last one should only be learned and used after LOTS of experience). As a STEM student, and having an interest in special and practical effects used in movies, they; like Taylor; considered how best to use their abilities. In this case recycling military surplus smoke canisters filling them with 'their' smoke (or useful precursor materials) giving them more smoke to work with.
 
Grew up in or moved to the Bible belt, in a town that had fights between an incompetent members of a nascent [[Haven]] and the ever annoying [[Fallen]]. While obviously a hero they crafted their identity to annoy both groups. They shout 'satanic' catch phrases and profess interest in all the things hated by hard-line religious groups, while harassing and capturing members of the Fallen. <!--not matter what sort of 'truce' they fall under, age at time of trigger? joins the wards at any point?-->  
 
Later joins [[The Protectorate]], gets their name changed to Panic or Pan for short. Uses their position to teach sex-ed and free thinking philosophy at school assemblies in the Bible Belt. By the time Worm roles around has been dead or retired for some time, Simurgh most likely. Obviously inspired [[Satyrical|Satyr\ical]], as well as other heroes, even if they joined Haven.
 
=== Some fun points===
* IIRC: Baphomet was part of a smear campaign by the French king against the Knights Templar, an attempt to seize the order's assets by claiming that they were devil worshippers. Has numerous spelling and pronunciations.
* IIRC: 19th century England writers used the Greek god Pan when talking about nature and similar almost creating a genre. I also recommend looking up the celtic Nodens, the horror book The Great God Pan, and the Dunwhich Horror, I can not recommend Steven King's ''N'' as I have not myself read it but it is supposedly good.
* IIRC: While in America at the same time nonsense words were coming into vogue, words like  discombobulate, absquatulate, bloviate, sockdolager, hornswoggle and [http://www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-ram1.htm rambunctious]. When they change their identity to Pan/ic, such words become cornerstones of their vocabulary, they find them hilarious. The rest of the in-costume persona echoes Ned Flanders of the Simpsons for increased  ridiculousness.
* Identifying gender of protagonist was deliberately avoided, a potential player should be able to make up their own mind. Also basically shares the agenda of the [https://thesatanictemple.com/ satanic temple] before it was cool.
* Possibly triggered in a fire almost dying from smoke inhalation, now pyrophobic? Orphaned living with previously estranged family members? hmm has almost a second inverse personality as a cape(see above) slimier to the spider-men, and he continually clocks himself misdirection and subterfuge to keep others from ever getting to know the real them. the smoke abilities assists and accelerates this confusion, a possible second trigger would be realizing this.
* 'Inspired' to join endbringer fights do to a haven cape they had an antagonistic relationship with going, feeling it to be a religious calling, and dying there. Guilt and shame up the wazoo, made worse that the cape is not even remembered in a few months.
* Note: did not say the smoke\soot stays or is even fixed black in color, or that the cape can or cannot manipulate it's density. Also must acknowledge and distance self from the influence of InFAMOUS: Second Son.
* Finally this is likely to never see the light of day given prohibitions on religion in weaver dice.
