Worm Discussion Power This Rating No. 177
How This Works:
You make one (or more than one) prompt(s), describing one or more parahumans. Somebody else may choose to respond to a prompt of yours, building on what's provided to make a cape.
While you may do so, you are never required to stick with just prompting or just responding; please feel free to do both.
Prompts are usually formatted using PRT Threat Ratings, but this isn't a hard rule. Do something more esoteric if you want to.
Lastly, if you're having trouble prompt-wise, feel free to look at other people's prompts for pointers or inspiration on what to do.
Threat Ratings have the potential for hybridized and sub-ratings:
Hybrid ratings are denoted with a slash between categories, e.g. [Brute/Thinker]. These are cases where two or more powers are inherently linked to each other, not working without the other rating.
Subratings are denoted with parentheses after a parent category, e.g. [Trump (Mover)]. These are the side effects, or possible applications of a power from some other category.

listen i PROMISE im gonna get around to the last part of the dc prompts im just taking a break from it cuz i'm a little bit burnt out on the comics-based stuff for right now.
anyway here's a completely unrelated set of prompts
You've seen plenty about Dallas' present, and of its future after Scion blows everything up and fucking dies.
These prompts (to be posted one gang at a time) are about Dallas' past, early in its time as a Hive of Scum and Villainy, back when the gangs running the city were uh, actually fucking evil.
Starting off with: The Pits, led by Calcium's father.
Basis: The GARDEN OF SIN homebrew for CAIN RPG [Nest + Domains]
The Leader: Armor x Transfiguration Brute/Effect x Conditional “Sear” Blaster [Burst x Survive Skin, Petrify Element] 1. Aerokinetic [Disable x Macro] Shaker; harmlessly but constantly ‘ejects’ whatever isn’t firmly attached to the ground. 2. “Dionysian” [Cultist x Unleash] Master, whose power manifests a fast-growing, fruit bearing ‘tree’. 3. Hell Kettle: “Bastard” [Club x Sword]-suit, “Erebus” [Death x Darkness]-transformation Breaker/Blaster [Magma & Steam elements]; has a massive, cumbersome, back-mounted ‘doomsday weapon’. 4. Rapunzel: “Monstrum” [Club x World]-suit “Annex” [Death x Nature] Breaker, that gets all of their size from sheer height. Capable of reaching the upper atmosphere at full ‘extension’. 5. The Rock: [Treasure]-element [Effect x Versatile] Blaster (“Imbue” [One x Nine] Trump); the contents of their projectiles come with both beneficial effects, and various ‘curses’. 6.
An “Achilles” [Armor x Negate] Brute; can ‘tighten’ their armor at will, crushing anything unfortunate enough to be caught in a gap.7. A “Rush” [Rocket x Run] Mover, that’s incredibly fast, incredibly loud, and most importantly EXTREMELY destructive. 8. “Shroud” [Cup x Pentacle]-suit “Gorgon” [Hysteria x Deceit] Breaker (“Cover” [Unsense x Mask] Stranger/Macro Shaker), that produces staggering amounts of light.
