I hope this is as good a place as any to post this. I don't plan on doing anything with these characters. They're just some ideas I came up with
--Boiler--
Classification: Striker 8-ish
Power: Boiler can drain heat from any object he touches and is incredibly resistant to extreme temperatures. Heat he absorbs can be stored and later transferred to other objects. He is capable of draining objects of heat completely, leaving them at absolute zero. Draining or adding heat takes more time depending on the size of the object and how much heat is transferred. He is manton limited, but nobody wants their shirt to freeze or their gun to get as hot as a frying pan
Costume: Boiler's costume consists of black coveralls modified with kevlar, steel toed boots, and a welding mask modified for better visibility and range of motion.
**Additional Info:**He acts is a vigilante that primarily targets drug rings and prefers not to go up against other parahumans. His alter ego works as a welder and his trigger was related to an accident at his job.
--Wub--
Classification: Tinker 6-ish (Shaker 6, Stranger 3, Trump 2)
Power: Wub specializes in sound. Given time, he is able to bring down buildings using harmonic frequencies, or silently kill an entire crowd with subsonic waves. He can deafen, disorient, and even blind people, earning him a stranger rating. Wub can design devices that interfere with or temporarily disable some powers if he is able to observe the power in action.
costume: Wub wears shutter shades and a different rave outfit every time he goes out in costume. He wears DJ headphones of his own design which are connected to various other devices on his person that protect him from his offensive devices.
**Additional Info:**After triggering, Wub easily got a job as the dj at a high-end nightclub. During a large event he activated a subsonic wave which silently decimated the entire crowd, after which he took his time looting the wallets and valuables of the entire deceased crowd. He has many bitter enemies and a place in the Birdcage waiting for him due to his ruthlessness and tendency to ignore the unspoken rules.
--Brechwell--
Classification: Brute 6, Shaker 6
Power: Brechwell is a Case 53, with super strength and the ability to produce a toxic combustible gas from his mouth which he can then ignite. He is unaffected by the toxin and is durable enough to stand in the midst of the gas explosion with no damage done to himself. He is able to crash through brick walls and destroy concrete with his explosions.
Appearance: Brechwell has large horns and tusks, a large mouth, and small eyes. His thick muscled body is covered from head to toe with armor plating and scales
Additional Info: Brechwell mostly keeps to himself, living in a series of abandoned buildings. Other than raiding grocery stores for food, the only times he ventures outside are when there is a major threat to the city (S9, Endbringer, etc...).

Forming a villain group of left-wing terrorists that all have Stranger powers, need help filling the roster out. Their charismatic and intelligent leader is Everyman, who dresses in outlandish costumes to make his speeches, but has the power to lose himself in any crowd, even a small one.

Maybe this is slightly OP, but the idea is for the power to be similar to Fetch from First Light. I wanted this character to have powers either similar to Dauntless or Purity, with an ability to 'grow' his powers or 'absorb' energy from light spectrums (or Neon lights).
The problem isn't so much as the power itself, I'm just having a hard time figuring out how the trigger can occur. Blasters typically require physical threats.
Its very important that my character's trigger event is tied to his sister being in danger. His identity is heavily tied to her. But I can't seem to figure out a situation where he triggers through her behalf. Imagine if Brian knew Aisha was in danger, but was in another state and there was no way he could reach her. That's very close to the scenario I had in mind. This OC is distant from his older sister, wants to help and/or save her, but can't.
He doesn't need to trigger at that specific moment, but he does need to trigger afterwards as a result of him being powerless to help her. Are there any scenarios of how he could gain these powers, somewhat tied to him wanting to protect his sister? Or are there any variations of this power that could occur from this scenario?

What ratings would the Overwatch characters have in the Wormverse rating system? I'm particularly interested in Tracer, Reaper, Soldier 76, Winston, Zenyatta, Bastion, Orisa and Lucio.

So. Self Insert Kills Jack Slash, just to satisfy the audience, everyone knows it and has an opinion on it. They want to see all the unpleasantness negated and the 'bad' people given what's due by a Protagonist that knows better and can make it better. It's that bit of vicarious enjoyment, isn't it? Or the "I am so much more awesome moment".
So let's give them what they want, and make them regret asking for it.
Alright, we've established the effect of the power.
The basic guts of the Power is that it's a 15 second reset in 'time' with a 15 second cooldown between uses. Meaning it's quite possible to get caught on a bad path.
Background details is that it's Scion's Magic 8-ball shard, cut to the bare minimum, released into GenPop because 'Enh, it's an unremarkable bipedal species, we can take 'em'. (Basically, but nobody knows this)
Anyway.
Previous to this, the Power was used during the Leviathan boss-fight to provide warnings, with the effects being that different people died each iteration until eventually one iteration was allowed to happen. But the ultimate effect being that some people still died.
Other Background foreshadowing events planned:
Using the Power to dodge a Bakuda glass-burster bomb.
Using a tazer-type attack on someone in a half-assed way.
A minor event where a missed opportunity is seized with the help of the Power after the fact. A few 'violent' moments suggesting being someone Jack Slash might be interested in.
So, to cut a long story short, our protagonist is passed up for the initial candidacy selection due to Jack finding a different person's narrative more entertaining, but events change and Jack decides to play his usual game to take out potential a threat.
Jack's avenue of attack, is that the Power is used during the Leviathan attack to choose who dies, so why not again? The protaganist can choose to either answer Jack's pointed and tricky questions about things that make Dinah's numbers tend towards certain annihilation, or watch a hostage die horribly.
To cut a short story shorter, after getting pushed to the point where the Power triggers over and over again, witnessing the same creaming death over and over again, and with a few dead hostages Jack Slash steps in line of the type of attack foreshadowed above. The Protagonist realises this. Jack's secondary Power kicks in and he moves before the Protagonist can capitalise.
The Protagonist then triggers his Power to take the shot, and shock Jack Slash to the point where he falls over, with repeated shocks keeping him down until something heavy renders him unrepairable by Bonesaw.
Jack still wins with the parting line "Welcome to the Nine"
Or something like that.
The Contessa appearrs with the suggestion that Cauldron's operating on a completely different plan, the revelation of the above tidbit about the shard and the resulting WTF collapse of the protagonist.
With the net result being Jack Slash dead. The entire scenario for Golden Morning hosed. The Protagonist in Dire need of the services of Jessica Yamada.
So, ye get your dead Jack Slash, but at what cost?

Worm was by far one of my all time favorite story's. Wildbow kills it with his detail to character development, and story telling. In his story he has a place called the Bird Cage. It's where the worlds most dangerous parahumans go.
Since I'm a big villian fan/Wildbow fan, I offer this: The Bird-Cages Most Wanted. A list and discussion of created characters by you who have escaped Dragons formidable prison and banded together as one!!
Have fun with it! Create you! The evil you, you always wanted to be.
Give- Name, Alias, Affiliation before you came to the cage if you have one, Height, Age, Gender, Power classification (http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Power_classifications), Power/with trigger event, Event that lead you to the Bird Cage.

A boy. Your father was so happy when you were born, he always wanted a son. Your father loved you as much as he could, things were hard as a single parent. You were home schooled because he wanted to give you the best education. As you grew up you began to have feelings for the other boys in the neighborhood, but you didn't want your father to know you were gay, you weren't sure how he'd react. As you grew up you remember having weird pains and cramps, your dad told you to man up and ignore them. Then one day, you were sixteen, you sneak out of your house to hang out with one of the other guys... things get heated but it was the best night of your life. Few days later you got sick, every morning. You began to gain weight. You try as hard as you could to lose it, but eventually collapsed and was rushed to the hospital only to find out...pregnant?
"How could that be?" you ask in total confusion. "Guys don't get pregnant..."
You trigger.
Working on a character, came up with the trigger for her but haven't figured out what to do for power. I was thinking this and a subsequent miscarriage would be enough for maybe a second trigger.
TL;DR Dad wants a boy, gets a girl. Raises her as a boy. Makes her think she's a guy the entire time. Girl ends up convinced she might be gay, goes out with a guy one night. Moment of passion. Finds out she's pregnant at the hospital and that she's been a girl this entire time, triggers.
Update: She could have simply been petite, or maybe her father did slip her testosterone. Both good options, second one is a lot of fucked up which is always bonus points when it comes to Worm

So a strange idea popped into my head while playing destiny the other day and it won't leave.
I have no idea what type of trigger could possibly do this, probably something with ether. Or maybe a cauldron vial but the idea of a twelve foot tall kell Taylor in the bay cracks me up

I'm guessing you've come here for help. That's great! That's what we're for.
But as you can probably see... the subreddit isn't the most active of places. The reason for that is we're primarily located in the Discord server, and this subreddit is more of a way for people to discover us. Basically...
The server is a LOT more active (we recently passed 1500 members and 4,000,000 messages!) so if you're in need of help, that's the place to ask! And if you've never used Discord before, don't worry; we're happy to help you out with that, too.
Here's the link: https://discord.gg/mFkEnjh (it's completely free)

Just a fun little brain exercise I was interested in talking about, in regards to the Corona Pollentia, as well as the Gemma while we're at it. If these sections of the brain hypothetically existed, which brain sections would they move out of the way? (Or did they take the form of a brain tumor like structure?)
I'm trying to understand if I got the fictional anatomy of it right, for fun of course, this shouldn't be taken as a serious Anatomical inquiry, as I am only an amateur when it comes to the brain and it's anatomy.
And more importantly, do we have any reason suspect this portion of the brain wouldn't be made up of traditional nervous tissue and cells? With Neurons, Glial Cells, etc, with maybe Synapses connecting them and all that good stuff? With maybe one or more neuron's Axon corresponding Synapses leading to a Microscopic portal that leads to a giant brain monster in another dimension?
Do I have that down more or less?

Is there a resource somewhere detailing what active kill orders existed at the beginning of canon Worm? Obviously all the S9 members and the human Class-S threats, but I don't know what others might have existed.

I made a spreadsheet to simulate cape casualties. It's based on the Leviathan arc, listing relevant capes (either previously mentioned in canon or the ones that end up mattering, so no Chubster or Strapping Lad in the list).
I used the overall survival odds based on Legend's speech, (roughly 1:4 chance of dying), adjusted for experience and a bunch of fudge factors (e.g. plot armor, being a non-combatant). There's column to check if the odds make sense, predicting your survival chance if you participated in all Endbringer battles (60ish, up to 2011) with those odds, so we can see the single encounter odds for the Triumvirate must be pretty good for them still be alive with a decent chance.
The spreadsheet updates every minute, giving you a new scenario.

So, we know Chevalier, Miss Militia, and Mouse Protector were original Wards. I've been wondering on the other 3 (Since I've had an idea for a fic centered on them.)
Anyone have any interesting ideas on their powers?

If he were suborned by The Simurgh and his Shard suddenly didn't hate him?
He remains intelligent and sort of becomes Jack Slash-lite. I just want some quick ideas I can flesh out into full ones.
