#< guy with the ability to imagine any main character trio as a polycule

March 7th, smug as hell, having scored the two most fucked up prettyboys in the galaxy,

i have another idea for a cape

a cluster featuring the abilities

the entire or parts of the body into liquid gold that they can control think phosphophyllites arms in land of the lustrous

a cape who can make people feel either more intensely or less intensely towards themelves

a cape with the ability to compress air into dense spheres and then detonate those spheres whenever they want

these are the main abilities in the cluster

also is this too late for that?

My apologies for letting this rust on my inbox all day, however it is absolutely not too late to ask.

Okay so even without meaning to I've ended up considering how these different characters I'm coming up with would fit into an OC Worm story together and I did notice that the Protectorate branch was a little short handed.... Which actually works for what I've got in mind.

This is a trio of cluster capes who are unabashedly and unequivocally heroes, they're a polycule and are firmly on the kiss end of the Kiss/Kill scenario. The only possible worry that any of them can have is the niggling question of "How much of this is real and how much is the powers and mental bleed". Also there is an undeniable level of codependency, it's manageable but these three are definitely their own team within their team and trying to split them up is never advised.

Their trigger event would naturally have to be shared trauma....I was thinking that these three were all colleagues somewhere which was struck by a natural disaster, they were stuck for days and were the only thing that pulled each other through.

Being a cluster there's some sort of mechanism for sharing powers out but each of them has their primary power....also, individual personality is a little trickier to work out given the nature of clusters; so.

Liquid gold/metal body: This guy getting injured was the catalyst for the cluster's Trigger and the liquid body was a response to help him rip his way free of whatever collapsed onto him and reform the crushed limb. Cape name "Halcyon"...there isn't a Halcyon in Worm/Ward right? I googled it and nothing came up.

Emotional manipulator/modifier: The heart and soul of this Cluster, she was the one to keep the other two same and the one to convince Halcyon that they weren't going to leave him when he was trapped, even when the water ran out. Cape name "Hopeful"

Compressed air detonator: The rough and ready one of the trio, she was the one to rip the way out of wherever they were stranded....For some reason I'm really liking a hair/glam metal aesthetic for her costume. Cape name "H-Bomb"....yeah this one's not great but after the first two I wanted another H and something with Hurricane or Headwind didn't really fit, just imagine her trying to get this name through legal and PR.
