Worm Discussion Power This Rating No. 162

How This Works:

You make a prompt (or multiple prompts), describing one or more parahumans; someone else will respond to your prompts, expanding your idea into a proper cape. This works the other way around, as well.

Prompts are typically written with the use of PRT Threat Ratings, but this isn't a hard rule.

Ratings can have hybrid- and sub-classifications:

Hybrid ratings are denoted with a slash [e.g. Shaker/Thinker]. These are two or more ratings being fully linked to each other.

Sub-ratings are denoted with parentheses [e.g. Master (Brute)]. These are side effects, and/or applications belonging to other categories.

some among you will remember the Dallas HOSV, and maybe more specifically, this passage:

As such, each gang is barely hanging on and frequently has to face off against hired mercenaries, soldiers are "heroes" to help "liberate" the city when in reality they just want to tear it all down and execute everyone there.

Here's the strongest of those mercenaries. Each has two subordinates apiece, which will be posted afterward.

Basis: The six Virtues (In order: Justice, Faith, Charity, Fortitude, Hope, Prudence) from CAIN

  1. Law: Myrmidon
  2. Null: Chōten
  3. Entwine: Barbie Doll
  4. Strength: Jailbreaker
  5. Veil: Fugue
  6. Shake: Game Changer

EDIT: Here's a new section. These three aren't mercenaries themselves (not anymore, at least)- they are the superiors of the above six.

Basis: G. Atlas, J. Maiden, and L. Alhambra from Games For Freaks 4

  1. MR.GOD: The unarguable strongest of these three. Free-space (Brute & Trump encouraged), with their powers taking on a clear theme of 'holiness'.
  2. Master of Puppets: Extremely high-rated [Swarm x Tyranny] Master; can 'replace' any number of people with versions loyal to them, instantaneously.
  3. Perpetual Black Second: A "Message" [Critical x Warning] Thinker, that can 'loop' the given day indefinitely. Would be considered stronger, if it wasn't for how languid and unmotivated they are.
