A Grab-Bag Cape is a cape that is created when 'multiple triggers' happen at the same time.

Overview

Though dealing with trigger events this is a separate article as it deals with some psycology and sociology. The term itself it rather straight forward, Capes termed 'grab-bag's display three or more powers that work together, rather than one or two predominant ones<ref name="9.3">Sentinel 9.3</ref>. This does not earn the Grab-bag a trump rating as they will always have the same powers(unless the trump power is part of the 'grab').<ref name="SB1">Discussion on Spacebattles</ref> Rather the powers are copied around individuals manifesting in a way that assists the expression of the main power.<ref name="R1">Comment on Reddit</ref>

Capes within multiple trigger groups tend to be hostile towards each other. For example it is implied that Flechette had a trigger event at the same time as a nemesis of her's named March<ref name="9.3"/>.

Known Grab-Bags

Circus Flechette Hoyden March Watch

so a multiple trigger event has shards divide and coalesce combining into multiple powers and conform to things.<ref name="SB2">some more stuff on Spacebattles</ref>

 Worm Spoilers: ooooooooo
 Multiple triggers are actually the endgame of the cycle, prior to the reabsorption and collapse.  When virtually all individuals in the setting are parahumans, connected to shards, the introduction of multiple-triggers serves to stress-test powers and compare and contrast the smaller powers.
 “Trigger events are a crucial element for study, because the timing, nature and spread of these emerging powers may provide a clue as to where these parahuman abilities come from. More women than men have powers, for example, and there are more powers in undeveloped countries than there are in industrialized ones – Some of you may remember me mentioning this fact in the 101 class, when I was talking about the witch burnings in The People’s Republic of Uganda.
 “Another pattern we will be exploring is the apparent effect of multiple trigger events occurring in the same time and place. There is a very strong correlation between coinciding trigger events and individuals displaying three or more powers rather than one or two predominant ones.”
