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!
Do to mortality scare consider all writings here open source. also comments welcome on workflow
Rewarding?
When and if I ever have think of playing weaver dice
The 'leader' visionary
Funny Guy-Dr.Mindbubble/prof.Dumbledore as grandparent, to get the joke look through the kingdoms that science classifies life.
psilocybin "magic" mushrooms "psilocybe cubensis" Improve eyesight temporarily, but what if your body can be thought to replicate the effect? Talk about how the entities chose a world that did not focus on looking inward, on brain development. New studies point to modified placebo effect replicating some medications

Last of us
Highly re-engineered version of Cordyceps or similar, fast acting enough to overcome the human immune system, you know the game I reference. Cordyceps actually has its own parasite Cordyceps also seen in medicine but so far I am just seeing stuff that looks like scams, though there is a link to the anti-rejection drug Neoral which is based on Ciclosporin first discovered in switzerland, hmmmm.
the voice in the night inspiration for Motango and others.
Aspergillus niger and various species of genus Stachybotrys A damaging house mold
Early worm drafts mention something called the Rhizome, I think a 'mushroom tinker' could make such a thing
trigger/irony
Grandparent triggered thinking of a way to help their grand-babies, develops prosopagnosia due to their tinker/thinker Tecton/Accord-like abilites. Can become more 'powerful'(cool down time goes down?) through 'multiple triggers'(something else entirly) but losses even more human social ability and similer as a result
the muscle
a Trumps Trump, can you have a trump 0?
To every thing away, possible cape name:Entelechy the Dividual
or even more away an alternate name: Paragon the Future Guy/Girl
Ellis's Midnighter/Morrison's Fantomax/Cassandra Cain/Marvel's Echo, Taskmaster, and Finesse, could you sound like a nonative speaker in every spoken language?
Myostatin-Related Muscle Hypertrophy
dense bones,
healing
secondary/combat nervous system the tertiary for emergencies
Given Taylor Hebert's experience would a next-gen morality system be a 'power'?
scary lady
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?
&
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 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?
the transport
How twisted can humans become Authority Carrier/ Neth/the girl who was a building seen in Franken Fran (I think it was 26)
Used the services of Alan Gramme so that (s\he/it) could survive, needed another tinker who could (replicate\add to) his work to thrive. cyborg has other enhancements?
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.
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.
more features
in an effort to bring more superhero cliches into worm or earth he
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 Olympian Erin Aldrich and why weaver looks like her.
Look up the Bogatyri they were used for story by Marvel so there may be complications, luckily there are so many different anglicizations.
Antagonist Proposals
Wildbow apparently brought up these guys before. Sovereign Citizens taking the names from old patriotic superheroes, I wonder if they know anything about the flag code, though I do suggest using the costumes as inspiration.
| Patriotic Capes | |
Alternatively you could go The Fallen route, making them a family of patriotic immigrant haters

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.
Baphomet-A bud shard of the smokey bandit guy[citation needed], converts controlled smoke into 'their' smoke and can manipulate and sense things through it. When in smoke can use it to travel at high speeds, like how apparition is handled in the Harry Potter movies. As a STEM student, and having an interest in special and practical effects used in movies, they; like Taylor; he considered how best to use his abilities. In this case recycling military surplus smoke canisters filling them with 'their' smoke giving him more to work with.
Grew up in the Bible belt and in a town that had saw fights between an incompetent members of a nascent Haven and the ever annoying Fallen. While obviously a hero they crafted there 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.
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 likly. Obviously inspired Satyr\ical, as well as other heroes, even if they joined haven.
Trivia
- 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 some pronunciations.
- 19th century England writers used the Greek god Pan when talking about nature and similar almost creating a genre.
- While in America at the same time nonsense words were coming into vogue, words like discombobulate, absquatulate, bloviate, sockdolager, hornswoggle and 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, one should be able to make up their own mind. Also basically shares the agenda of the satanic temple before it was cool.
- Possibly triggered in a fire alomst dying from smoke inhalation, now pyrophobic? Orphaned?
