Parahumans (A worm CST)

[move][glow=red,2,300][font=verdana]Parahuman[/font][/glow][/mov

Okay, let me start by recommending to you one of the greatest
things I've ever read, which this cst is based on, Worm by
Wildbow, located at
[glow=red,2,300]www.parahumans.wordpress.com[/glow].
Now, on to business. Basic plot= In the modern time period, a
very limited amount of people, known as parahumans, have
superpowers ranging from teleportation to bug control to the
ability to create time loops to hyper-intelligence. In order to
allot for these "Capes" as parahumans are often called, cities
have established a facility known as "The Protectorate." This is
basically a team up of all the capes that want to put their
lives on the line to protect people. There are also tons of
mercenaries, villains (criminal capes), rogues, etc. The
Protectorate also has a branch known as the wards, for people
who are under the age of 18, who take on easier jobs.
There is also a race of monstrous creature known as endbringers.
These are enormous, powerful creatures that destroy cities,
attacking until they take enough damage that they are forced to
retreat. Conventional weapons have no effect; they can only be
combated by capes. One appears every few months. At present
there are 6 (I know this is not accurate from the story, since
there were never more than 5 at one time, but it is relevant to
the plot of this C.S.T.). they are described below.
[spoiler]Behemoth: The eldest endbringer, a 45-foot tall
monstrosity with strange assortments of horns and claws.
Dynakinetic- complete control over energy for a range of about a
quarter mile. Uses lightning, burns you from the inside, sonic
booms, hits with ridiculous kinetic energy, etc. Also,
dynakinesis gives him extremely high defense.
Leviathan: An enormous, 30 foot tall serpent-like creature.
Macro-hydrokinesis. Also, water is generated whenever he moves
part of himself, like an afterimage. He has insane speed
underwater. Very tough.
Simurgh: The most feared endbringer. 16 feet tall, looks like a
beautiful woman only with dozens of wings all over her. Very
strong telekinesis, enough to lift entire city blocks. Also,
extremely intelligent telepath; if you spend enough time near
her, she begins to control your mind, affecting your actions.
Khonsu: Tall, bulky, black-and-white endbringer. Has 3 cylinders
orbiting him that he controls, as tall as the eye can see but
only a few meters across. Time is hyperspeed inside, so if you
enter one, you come out a skeleton. Also, he can teleport to
anywhere on the planet.
Bohu and Tohu: These appear as a pair, always. Bohu is a
3000-foot-tall tower, who starts to manipulate the structures of
a city, turning ordinary houses and streets into deathtraps.
Tohu has 3 faces and can adopt the appearance and powersets of 3
of the cape combatants, which she chooses at the outset of a
battle. [/spoiler]
In addition, there is an organism named Scion, whomis the most
powerful parahuman in the world. Completely independent, he
flies from place to place, protecting people, but he is very
unpredictable. Also, his skin is solid gold.
Rules:
-Standard forum rules.
-No god-modding. Somewhat OP powers are all right, since worm is
full of them, but nothing too crazy. this is a useful website to
use as a judge of overpoweredness:
HTML http://parahumans.wikia.com/wiki/Powers_Classification
-Out of character is in double parentheses. Ex: John kills Joe.
((I will be unable to post for the next few days because of
finals)).
-Character name at the top of each post in bold.
-I think you can figure it out.

Where does this take place in the Wormverse? After the events
of the story?

((Probably won't be able to C.S.T. much atm, but whatever.))
Name: Dennis Chowry AKA Spire
Age: 17
Gender: M
Alignment: Head of the wards
Trigger Event: (note: in the story, if your parent has a power,
it is way easier for you to get a power, with a trigger event
that is not nearly as devastating.) He accidentally killed a
shiny Gigalith.
Power: Can generate and control stone. Was tested to see if this
extends to sand and metal, results: negative.
Equipment: Basic tranquilizer gun and earpiece plus whatever
other equipment the wards use.
Falling in love: Sure.
Chibi: TBD
Other: Very natural leadership personality. His father is a
member of protection.

((This is if Scion never turned evil. Humans in worm didn't
exist, but things like endbringers and scion did.))

Gender: F
Alignment: Wards
Trigger Event: Was present at a school shooting
Power: Can swap one of her 10 human senses (sight, hearing,
smell, taste, pain, pressure, temperature, proprioception,
balance, time) for any animal sense she chooses, such as
echolocation for example.Her taste has been permanently swapped
for a danger sense that gives her a couple seconds of advance
warning of danger. She also regularly swaps smell for
echolocation during fights. Her good senses make her an
exceptionally good shot, as well as a capable sword fighter.

tranquilizer gun and earpiece. She also keeps michrophones,
mirrors, magnifying glasses, and a collapsible telescope to use

((I am joining [obviously].))
Name: Bruce Mann AKA Pupil
Age: 19
Gender: M
Alignment: Mercenary
Trigger Event: Death of uncle who raised him (he is an orphan)
Power: Upon touching an object, he discovers everything that has
happened to it. In humans, this extends to what they are
thinking right now. This also happens to things that the human
is touching, for example he can just touch your clothes or
something you are holding, to deduce the history of both the
object and you.
Equipment: Heavy armor. Always carries string, a gun with live
ammo, tranquilizing darts for said gun, and standard stuff (cell
phone, notepad, etc.)
Falling in love: Why not?
Chibi: [IMG]
HTML http://i.imgur.com/FRpzQVK.jpg[/img]
Other: Leads an elite team of mercenaries, taking jobs as a
"cape-for-hire" and having enough moral ambiguity to not really
care who he works for, whether it be the good guys or the bad.

((So he can touch someone and he gets all of their thoughts? I
believe it was stated that in the Wormverse, total mind-reading
was impossible.))

((I think he means that it's not all their thoughts, only the
one they are having at that specific time.))
((EDIT: I will probably start this when we have 5
characters...))

((Still, it's technically not allowed in-Wormverse. I believe
it was stated during the bank robbery that mind reading was
impossible. I'll try to figure out another character, as my
Impetus idea is too similar to Pupil.))

((Also, just out of curiosity sharkfin, is he named pupil
because he has white eyes or because pupil as in student?))
