Brigade's Worm CYOA V6
Original CYOA Glyph's ModTwo entities spiral through space, past stars and planets alike. Their parts shift between dimensions. Approaching a world, one you recognize as Earth, they shatter into hundreds of millions of pieces into millions of Earths. The shattered pieces, shards of the entities, take root on empty Earths before bonding with humans. Humans at their lowest, who would go on to learn through conflict. Through this, they would advance the entity. Something went wrong with their cycle this time. A mistake causes the more intelligent of the entities to crash into a planet where it is, not long after, put down. The entity's shards remain, in the hands of those who wish the death of the other entity, but things are not so easy. Even with all the Parahumans, those bonded with the entities' shards, working in perfect unison, humanity would stand no chance against the remaining entity in a fight. However, you may change that. You had the luck to be born in a world with an unrestricted Precog who didn't know he was one; Wildbow aka John C. McCrae. Unfortunately, your whole universe is a blindspot for all Thinkers sans the entity itself. Wildbow's predictions, while perfect, do not account for your shared universe's existence. Your shared universe is many years ahead of Earth Aleph and Bet, where it is still 2011, or even earlier. One day a portal opened up under you while you slept... An alien with a grudge against the Entity decided to make you into something that can stop your species' destruction at the hands of the entities, as had happened to his own species, or at the very least ensure that the Entity died. Its name roughly translates to Last One. Disclaimer: I don't own Worm, Ward, or any of their characters. All rights to those go to John C. McCrae aka Wildbow. This is merely a non-profit fanwork. I made none of the pictures in this CYOA and their rights go to their respective artists. I am planning on finding out as many of the artists as I can, and I'll list the names they go by here: pabel and Nine, Super WhiteV, Togizz, JK ↓, ARIIRF.com, ⸸ Mafia, Blueblurapple, Carl Rosendahl, Pavel Tomashevskiy, shim, Velspar, Cyrix, Lonsheep, MonsterLover12, TheStarlitOrangeTree, aerryi, christoefour, Carlos (karu3d) García, Robert Zietara, Tomasz Jedruszek. If you know the name any of the artists use, please send me a message on Reddit, along with which picture(s) they made. Real Author: PixelGMS (On Reddit and Fanfiction.net) or SoundByte (On SufficientVelocity and Spacebattles) I'm fine with anyone using this as a basis to make their own CYOA as long as they give me credit where credit is due.

Directions
1.) This is an Interactive CYOA. This means you need to click any option you're taking. 2.) When something says Incompatible: or Required: followed by a single item, and it does this multiple times, then it means each of those items are required or incompatible. If it has Incompatible: or Required: and then multiple items with commas inbetween them, that means that only one of those items are required. 3.) Some sections have requirements that aren't shown for the sake of space. Make sure you've checked every tab before moving on to the next section.
Tabs
Difficulty
Meta (Target)
Who are your choices affecting?
Meta (Awareness)
Were these choices made by the target? If so, in what form did they make their choices?
Scenario
Alignment
Each section in the alignment section reflects yourself and your plans for the future. This is not an absolute scale, just a rough approximation. You can change your alignment, and your bonus will change with it. Feel free to bend the definitions quite a bit.
Lawful Alignment
Lawful Alignment regards how you view the law, rules, and your willingness to be lead by others.
Moral Alignment
Moral Alignment regards how selfish and kind you are.
Cape Alignment
Cape Alignment regards which side you fall on in the game of Capes. If you act in a way that blatantly goes against your chosen role, you will lose the benefits. You will not get the benefits from whatever your new role is.
You
The portal completely tore you apart until only your consciousness remained. This area is for opening and closing areas relating to your new body. [Author's Note: I suggest just pressing Open All. This is mostly just for my convenience.]
Incarnation
How are you going to survive the loss of your body?
Age
How old is your body? Answer: Negative something seconds old, it hasn't been created yet. How old is your body going to look, though? Your body will biologically be that old. As long as it fits the chosen age range, you can choose the exact age
Sex
Your sex, aka whether your body is male, female, or other.
Gender
Your consciousness is being tweaked to be compatible with your chosen body, so you don't need to spend months trying to figure out how to move your body correctly. While you're at it, do you want to change your gender? (Gender is what you identify as.)
Appearance
This won't get very specific, only very general. As long as it fits your choices, you can choose to look however you want. What do you look like?
Character-Insert
You've chosen to character-insert into someone you know of from Wildbow's predictions. Who will it be? All data is assuming it's April 8, 2011. If you choose a Scenario prior to your chosen person's birth, you will awaken when your brain first develops in the womb. You will not go insane from this. Warning: If you character-insert into a member of the Protectorate, Wards, or New Wave, you will likely be put under M/S protocols either due to Gallant's sudden inability to read your emotions and/or Panacea's sudden inability to see your brain, or the fact that Gallant can still see your emotions and Panacea can still see your brain causing them to believe you've been Mastered (mind controlled).
Good
Neutral
Evil
Identity
What do you do as a civilian? You gain the memories and skills of the person you reincarnate as, so as long as they had the prerequisite knowledge, you do too.
Job
What is your job? You have the necessary/prerequisite skills and knowledge for any option you take here.
Education
Where do you go to school? If it's Summer, this is where you're going to school at the start of the next school year. You have the necessary/prerequisite skills and knowledge for any option you take here.
Home Life
What is your life like outside of education/work?
Shard
Powers are granted through connecting to shards of the entities. Which type of Shard do you have?
Shard Ranking
How powerful is your Shard? This effects the maximum strength of powers you can receive.
Be The Shard
Is being placed into the world of Worm to much for you? How about I turn you into a massive crystalline supercomputer instead. As a Shard you will be granting your powers to a host instead.
Shard Perks And Drawbacks
As a shard you have several innate abilities. You can perceive everything your host can; You can understand everything they are thinking as well. You have an innate understanding of the powers you can give out and the mechanics by which they operate. this lets you use thinker powers you have chosen. You can communicate with shards in their system of communication. If any of your hosts are in a cluster with other parahumans than you have a connection both to the shards and parahumans in the cluster. You can use your perks from this section on those cluster members at a weakened strength. You have a finite ability to access energy. Some perks use this energy. You can store energy for later use.
Shard Influence
You are pushed toward conflict by your Shard. How bad is it? If you choose no options here, your Shard will not alter your personality in any way, shape, or form. Your Shard might still push you toward conflict through strengthening your powers during times of conflict. These can all be improved through therapy and effort.
Power Drawbacks
Your shard failed to properly create your power. If you take no options here than I will repair it to fix your power.
Point Conversion
Do you need some more points to get what you want? Trade all you like.
Perks
Perks are side-effects of either your power or your travel to Earth Bet that benefit you
Drawbacks
Drawbacks are side-effects of either your power or your travel to Earth Bet that harm or hinder you.
Skills
You will find that you've had skills downloaded into your mind, kinda like the Matrix. Choose what skills, if any, you've installed. By default, if applicable, your new body will have the muscle memory of having done this skill.
Weapons
Weapons are commonly used by Capes. Regardless of what you choose here, you can still get a weapon once you're on Earth Bet. If a type of weapon fits multiple categories, you only need to choose one.
Items
Things like a phone, a Cape costume, etc. You can choose whether each physical item is sent to a warehouse where you can retrieve it at a later date, if they'll be teleported to your person, or if they'll be teleported to your house/dorm. You will know the location of the warehouse, and no one will steal or destroy your stuff before you retrieve them.
Secret Base
Size
How large is your base? This affects the maximum number of rooms.
Concealment
How hidden is your 'secret' base? This determines how easy it is for others to find your base.
Features
What kinds of rooms does your base have?
Powers
Open and close power-related sections. [Author's Note: I suggest just pressing Open All. This is mostly just for my own convenience.]
Power Classifications
The following text is copied from the Worm wiki, worm.fandom.com. Mover - An ability that enhances mobility. Shaker - An ability with an area of effect. Brute - An ability that grants enhanced strength or durability. Breaker - An ability that allows the cape to shift into another state. Master - An ability that allows a cape to control others or create minions. Tinker - An ability that allows a cape to create or alter devices with futuristic technology. (Tinker Technology includes black boxes in it that make it very difficult to reproduce.) Blaster - A ranged, offensive ability. Thinker - An ability that focuses on information gathering. Striker - An ability that is melee-ranged or touch-based. Changer - An ability that allows the cape to alter their form or appearance. Trump - An ability that allows the cape to manipulate powers in some capacity. Stranger - An ability that focuses on stealth or infiltration. You can Second Trigger to make your powers more powerful or versatile, but it requires a traumatic event. If you had an actual trigger event, then the nature of the trauma must be similar to that.
Tier 4 Powers
These powers do not require Shards. One of these isn't even enough to make you a street-level Cape on its own, though if you're clever and skilled enough it might give you enough of an edge for you to succeed. These are all caused by your own biology, due to the effects of the dimensional transfer, so a biokinetic or biotinker might be able to remove these powers without touching your brain.
Tier 3 Powers
These powers are, while not weak, not something that would allow you to solo an Endbringer. You may take no more than 5, unless you have Less Limited Power.

Power Copy
You're copying the power of a Parahuman. Powers like Eidolon's or Glaistig Uaine's won't be here. Takes Tier 3 slots.
Combo Powers
Sometimes when you have multiple powers they'll combine into something stronger.
Tier 2 Powers
These powers are powerful enough to give you a fighting chance against an Endbringer, one on one. You may take no more than three, unless you have Less Limited Power.
Tier 1 Powers
These powers are definitely stronger than an Endbringer. They probably won't allow you to fight an entity by yourself, but they will definitely give you a much better chance. You may only choose one of these powers, unless you have Less Limited Power.
(Master) Custom Endbringer Powers
Endbringers are extremely durable with an even more durable core. If their core is destroyed, they die. Endbringers are extremely strong and fast. All their powers are leagues stronger than those of most Parahumans.

(Universe) Oops...
Dammit! I made a mistake anchored your soul to the wrong world. Here's a dossier on the world you're being sent to. Keep in mind that the entity will still wipe out the multiverse and you still have just as much time as you would otherwise until then. With the exception of one of these, they're all other universes precogs in your world predicted. Your world has a strangely large amount of precogs that predict other universes. I think the Thinker Entity planned to use them to make sure nothing went out of hand in worlds with a lot of Parahumans or large amounts of non-Parahuman empowered people. If you chose Slaughterhouse 8 a small number of Parahumans will begin to Trigger so that this becomes possible. The members won't be the same as the Earth Bet Slaughterhouse 9, but the difficulty will be about the same. If you chose Endbringer Target then three Endbringers that aren't Behemoth, Leviathan, Simurgh, Khonsu, Tohu, or Bohu will appear in your new world, acting like the Endbringers from Earth Bet. For Reincarnation, any Civilian Identity you chose will be adapted to the setting. Depending on the setting, Case 53 might make you appear like a non-human species. Scenario: May 20th, 1982 = About 29 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: May 1st, 1988 = About 23 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: December 13th, 1992 = About 19 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: January 18th, 1993 = About 18 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: June 9th, 1996 = About 15 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: November 2nd, 1999 = About 12 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: September 15th, 2000 = About 11 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: December 30th, 2002 = About 8 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: May 9th, 2005 = About 6 years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: Summer, 2009 = About two years before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: January 3rd, 2011 = About 4 months before the start of what you call canon. Scenario: April 8th, 2011 = The start of what you call canon. Scenario: May 15th, 2011 = About one month after the start of what you call canon. Scenario: January 20th, 2012 = About 9 months the start of what you call canon. Scenario: June 20th, 2013 = The end of what you call canon, as it is now. Scenario: July 1st, 2015 = A little over 4 years after the start of what you call canon. Scenario: June 24th, 2064 = About 50 years after what you call canon. Note I: Major Threats are sometimes only major threats if you ally yourself with the eyes the precog saw the world through. Note II: Also, power copying / stealing only works on Shard-Based powers. The exception to this is Body Swap, which swaps Shard-Based and Body-Based powers. Note III: Anything related to altering or controlling causality, such as the Fates in Percy Jackson, Gae Bulge in Fate/Stay Night, or a Wish in Puella Magi Madoka Magika, can be protected against using Blindspot and Mental Barrier. Also, Disclaimer, I'm not strong enough to protect against a wish aimed at you, and this does not protect against time travel. Note IV: The maximum strength for an unpowered human in any world affects Apex and Captain America.

Locations (Available to Non-Earths)
Where were you reborn/transported? Do not take a location here that contradicts your location in the above sections.
Cluster
When multiple people trigger with powers in close proximity they can form a cluster. You can gain your powers in just such a way. Be warned, cluster triggers are never simple and often deadly.
Members
You must choose how many members are in your cluster. There is a maximum of ten across all types.
Gimmicks
Many clusters have some special mechanic that makes them unique. You may take on such gimmicks in exchange for points.
Companions
This section is entirely optional. You do not need to take 3 companions, you could take 2, 1, or 0. This does not stop you from finding your own companions or recruiting these people yourself. These will be your allies and teammates. There is nothing keeping them as your teammates if they don't want to, aside from maybe a situation you find yourself in. This can, and likely will, add butterflies. If you Character-Insert as a character, do not add them as a teammate. It won't do anything. You may choose the method they are made to join your team, whether probability manipulation, mind control or whatever else.
