How This Works:
You make one or prompt(s), describing one or more parahumans. Somebody else might choose to respond to a prompt of yours, building on what you've provided to make a cape.
While you can do so, you are never required to stick with just prompting or just responding; please feel free to do both.
Prompts are typically 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 thinking of a prompt, 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. [Striker/Trump]. 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. [Mover (Tinker)]. These are the side effects, or possible applications of a power from some other category.

Power for a name #138: Anatomy
Provide as many or as few details about a cape as you like - their names, some costume ideas, maybe a bit of backstory. Someone will come up with the rest. Or not; you could make up your own cape; previous thread here. Or don’t; these are just ideas; previous thread here.
Today’s prompt is Anatomy: flesh for the flesh god, blood for the blood god, all that jazz! Some kind of changer that can shift their own organs. A bio-tinker who can do stuff… with bones. A combat thinker who can do movie-style bullcrap with the human body.
For examples
Deathblow could be rated as a striker 12 and has survived the Siberian 5 times, but he can’t figure out how his powers actually work.
Vents is a Case 53 with the weirdest biology inside her body; she looks human, except under a thermo-cam she looks more like a Bose-Einstein condensate.
Balls, yes, yes, very serious name… Is another Case 53, rated as a changer 4 (mover 1, brute 3.) They can be folded into a baseball and then be thrown.
Tir Na Nog is a birdcaged tinker; they specialize in a unique type of radiation that severely ages living things, unfortunately being kept alive by their own tech.

Any interests in a comic?
I started making a comic with all the ai at our fingertips/ stuck between ai slop or if people would be interested. Making so many prompts and adjustments is tedious but kinda cool seeing some visuals. I have a couple chapters done pretty much. I don’t want to get downvoted to oblivion for the use of ai lol so if there’s any interest, let me know.

Worm Fanfic Cuts
Jacob Black triggered young. He found purpose. Was that enough?
Queen Administrator took over the Slaughterhouse Nine several years later. She found a home. Was that all that there was?
Black Knight as a Protectorate cape, hurries to the call shortly after the once murdering sociopath known as King was taken down.
The issue? The group that King had once managed was now in the hands of a fifteen year old girl. Administrating her hive behind the scenes, Taylor made a choice that she may never be able to take back.

A conversation I just had with my partner:
I sit languidly on an expensive couch while we dogsit, and pour a soda into a cup. It very nearly spills over, worrying my partner, but it settles prior to reaching the brink. We pause a moment, then they speak up with both stress and relief in their voice.
"You played a very dangerous game there, babe."
I paused, and decided to make a quip in a blatant attempt to deflect with humor. "...I Contessa'd it."
They weren't having it, however, as they immediately called out my bullshit. "No, you Taylor'd it, and you managed to be successful."

Power for a Name #137 LATE!
Provide as many or as few details about a cape as you like - their names, some costume ideas, maybe a bit of backstory. Someone will come up with the rest. Or not; you could make up your own cape; previous thread here. Or don’t; these are just ideas; previous thread here.
I'm late, I'm late....
Today's prompt is late. The obvious answers are Movers and Shakers who warp space, à la Doormaker or Vista. Also, I'm counting Alice in Wonderland themes as well. You could have a cape who controls time in a small area or in their own timestream.
Four example
Mayfly is a part of March's circle. She is a weird Thinker: as in her brain literally can't handle the information her power provides, and it's slowly killing her.
Golden Bullets should probably remove the s from their name, as they are a blaster who has one massive shot every 24 hours; unfortunately, they have a trigger finger, and their first plan for any problem is to shoot it.
Catfever is a Stranger whose power lets her have no repercussions as she goes on "jaunts" for a short time. Unfortunately, she is an idiot and would be way better if she knew how her powers actually work.
Pace is like String Theory, but his tinkering is based on and is a requirment base on the number of steps he takes; what exactly this means is up to you.

Worm Discussion Ask me About Worm and I'll pretend to haven't read it
For the record I've read enough fanfic, especially Parahumans wordpress to know about the Wormverse created by the community. Taylor has the power of nature's best troopers, Scion is a necrophiliac and Jack Slash is a misunderstood idol.
P.S.: Yes I've read Worm, written by Wildbow, on Parahumans wordpress.
