My little man

[junebugtwin]

fun little Worm ocs I've got stuck in my head (under the cut because this post ended up longer than I thought it would be):

Kathline 'Katie' Darner aka: WYSLMIIWAW (pronounced like 'wise-limm-wah') a nineteen year old runaway and member of 'The Party Crashers' a small and relatively informal rouge group that steals from the rich/ morally questionable and gives to the poor. (in this case they are The Poor but semantics) The party crashers prefer to target villain groups or cops- which makes them pretty much villains in the eyes of the law, though other villain groups find that opinion controversial.

Her power is that she can 'transform' into a worm (in reality its more like her consciousness switches into that of a worm that has been teleported where she was and her body has been teleported to another dimension in a location where it is physically safe, but she doesn't know that). It happens instantaneously and can be undone instantaneously, which gives her a surprising amount of movement and agility.

She can use her powers to dodge hits, survive falls she wouldn't as a human, sneak into places, hide, or dig through the ground. She perceives the world similar to how she might if her human body was made tiny, as though she has somehow retained her human senses- though they are fuzzy and tend to 'lag' a half second or so behind reality.

If she dies as a worm she wakes up in her human body in another universe. She does not know this because she has assumed (fairly) that dying as a worm would just kill her like normal.

Her name is a acronym, the full title is 'Would You Still Love Me If I Was A Worm'- a truly stupid name made up by her girlfriend that she went along with. They have not bothered to explain it to the press or anyone outside of their group- which, hilariously combining with the fact that the 'worm' aspect of Katies powers is mostly unknown- leaves her as a mysterious figure with an annoyingly instant mover power.

Katie mostly stays quiet in costume, but as a civilian she's relaxed and pleasant to be around, if not incredibly easy to push over and boss around.

Maxine 'Max' Arbor aka: Hot Wheels- An eighteen year old girl who lives with her grandparents and barely passed highschool. She's one of the other members of 'The Party Crashers' and girlfriend to Katie.

At fourteen she was in a bad accident and became permanently disabled, resulting in her using a wheelchair to get around, among other chronic pains and annoyances. She does not let this stop her from being an active member of a semi-criminal gang of hooligans, though maybe it should honestly.

Her power allows her to use as much force as the most powerful thing to impact her (ever) into any movement she does with her body. She can not tone this power down- if it's on it's all the way on. This would not be so disasterous except the most powerful thing to hit her was a bus.

Max's physical body is protected from the after effects of punching/shoving things with the force of a bus, but it does not protect her immedate surroundings, the floor, or her wheel chair.

This is unfortunate because she definitely cannot pay for multiple wheelchairs, and thus uses her thievery as an income to replace her mobility aid which she destroyed via her job as a thief. It's a self perpetuating cycle that she doesn't really like thinking about.

Max has obvious brute powers, and can move extremely fast when necessary- however she's not so great at the steering or stopping part of things.

She's naturally impulsive, quick to anger and quick to forgive and a generally kind hearted person when she remembers to be one.

Rose Winters- A nine year old girl who doesn't have a cape identity because she doesn't really consider herself one and hasn't stopped to think too hard about things.

Rose is extremely intelligent for her age, in part because of her powers, and in part because her parental situation is neglectful enough that it borders on abusive and she's sort of had to learn how to fend for herself.

She has a tinker power in a round about way, she makes little 'statues' out of mud, rocks, grass, leaves and other natural items- with each ingredients adding different abilities or quirks to the statue as she goes. The location the items were found in, the condition they are in, the order they are added to her creations, even her emotions toward said object all effect the final product even if only slightly.

These creatures are made animate when she considers them 'done' and are friendly towards her, with the problem solving skills of maybe a particularly smart dog. She can make them at any size, but it's quite hard to make them overly big without it collapsing in on itself.

Each statue has it's own simple personality, and some work together better or worse than others. Depending on what she put into them they can have a huge range of abilities and properties, such as blending into the background, being hot to the touch, shooting gravel, making extremely loud sounds, seeing in the dark, or giving out a mild electric shock.

Rose is more interested in collecting, making and testing out her statues than the local cape scene but she has accidentally caused some chaos- her creatures are free to roam where they want and not every one takes seeing what is obviously some ones minion wandering around their turf very well.

I do have more characters, including the rest of the members of The Party Crashers, but this post is already waaay longer than I thought it would be and it's getting late. Feel free to ask me any questions/clarification about these guys, I'm always down to talk about ocs.

Barracuda: Tinker with a specialty for traps and lures. By cape standards she's ancient, being roughly in her mid sixties, and has made far too many enemies for retirement to ever be an option.

Years in the cape scene has made her rather, eccentric, to put it nicely- and desensitised her completely to most atrocities.

She has saw trapped people before and she'll do it again

Heist Team broke her out of the transport to the birdcage a while back and she is particularly fond of them.

Has gone by many Aliases, but some of her more famous ones are: Tangle, Decoy Duck, and Mousetrap

Fanart of @halizumab Weaverdice OC Made-Man!

A gift for a great friend of mine!

Art by me! Ridtom!

[ty-bayonet-betteridge]

weaverdice having the audacity to say "yeah tinker triggers are long, protracted information reveals, which culminate in a moment where a character realizes what was wrong the whole time, as opposed to thinker triggers which are a SINGLE moment of sudden new information rushing in" when the one tinker trigger that we get to see in worm to my recollection (Riley's) and the most prominent thinker trigger we see (Lisa's) are literally THE OPPOSITE OF THAT

More Worm ocs that I've been spinning around in my head!

Meet Kinsley and Maggot! Just two hermit lesbians living off in the woods together #happy pride

(The top picture does not have Maggot in it so that people can look at the pretty background)

Kinsley is twenty seven and Maggot is twenty eight, and they've been together for five years. They met when Kinsley was on the run from a local parahuman gang that wanted her dead for allegedly funneling one of the Tinkers projects to other organizations for cash. (There was some suspicions that'd she was up to something for a while, but no one had ever acted on them because of her familial relations to two of the gangs members.)

Maggot wasn't running so much from the cops as she was from society as a whole- her powers gave her a form that was monstrous, and while she was capable of forcing herself back into her old body, it was not a very comfortable or long lasting solution.

The two ended up helping each other escape and survive, and eventually- (though not without a few slight bumps)- ended up in a loving relationship in a picturesque cabin where they wouldn't have to deal with other peoples nonsense (though Kinsley does like to visit various family members in other locations from time to time)
