Well I am confused a little bit for the changer, mainly does the thing he changes into have to be a physical thing like a creature part (such as a mantis arm) or physical material such as being as intangible as water. Could a changer make parts of their entirely full of bright white energizing light, made of solar plasma, to even being made out of pure darkness; anything magical or “ethereal” basically. Since some of this is Breaker material.

Spoiler: Jackie Lexis (click to show/hide)

Name: Jackie Lexis
Age: 16
Appearance: A slum boy, gaunt and skinny from malnutrition. At 5'6, Jackie adorns himself in his best clothes, rags of colorful cloth in the loose form of a shirt and a skirt, and make-shift jewelry made from scrap metal and shards of colored glass. 
Personality: Greedy, Naive, Curious
Background: Raised in the slums, Jackie first memories were of his Amie's Gang, a group of orphans the older boy Amie corrals, having them pan-handle and search through the garbage dumps for valuables to sell off. In the decrepit undercity, Jackie tries to find beauty where ever he can. Even if it comes from a tin can of glass that makes a pretty noise when he shakes it.

As far as I can gather, a Changer's shifting is purely physical and abides by the laws of nature as we understand them, but a Breaker's shifting is often intangible or otherwise impossible, and defies the laws of physics as it sees fit. If you can give me some good fluff I'm sure we could stretch the boundaries there.

Name: Jocko Nix
Age: 20
Appearance: 5 foot 9, stocky, with a glistening shaved head, dark skin and gregarious features.
Personality: A very middle of the road sort of person, Nix prefers to find compromises that suit everybody as opposed to taking hardline stances. Always polite, as much as he can be. Wanting to help other people in his life while also desiring to stamp out his own identity and sense of being.
Background: Born into a large family, Jocko often wondered who he was as an individual. When around others he felt in the background, and when by himself he felt like a camera, simply watching the world pass around him. With no real sense of purpose or impetus, he decided to apply for an entry level position in one of those big megacorps that everyone knows about but can't really tell what they do. See what goes from there.

There's a lot of room for character development here, and I like that, I like that a lot. IN. And as for RNGesus, let's see what he has in store...

Jocko Nix is a Tinker, and their power has a focus on technology, or, would it be better to say that their power is technology? What's Jocko's Specialty and how does it manifest itself?

A street urchin? It was inevitable, and besides that well-written and the first to post without reservation to boot. IN.

Me oh me oh my. Yottawhat, you've hit the jackpot.

10, 9, 3, 3

Huh. Jackie Lewis has a diverse power, with a Changer aspect, a Striker aspect, and two simultaneous Brute aspects. What a doozie. How does it all fit together?

hey, I didn't reserve at all! The edits were to fix typos because phone autocorrect is stupid.

Whoops! Scratch that Yottawhat, you're the second and the honor goes to Dustan Hache. I've been busy and haven't had much sleep these last few days, no hard feelings.

Looking at the Worm wiki page for Tinkers right now, what do you mean regarding specialties? Sub-categories or more specific? How broad are specialties?

In the Worm universe in general, are Tinker specialties and restrictions based on their personality, on their Trigger Event, or other factors?

Looking at the Worm wiki page for Tinkers right now, what do you mean regarding specialties? Sub-categories or more specific? How broad are specialties?

In the Worm universe in general, are Tinker specialties and restrictions based on their personality, on their Trigger Event, or other factors?

It varies, very very very widely. By Specialty, I'm asking which area your power's primarily focused on, which could be anything from Refrigeration, Medicine, or Pyrotechnics. Your specialty can be as broad or specific as you'd like, but the narrower it is the easier a time you'll have working within its confines, and with a catch-all specialty like Combat or Healing, you'll have a more difficult time than you would otherwise.

Generally, a Tinker's Trigger Event is a long time in the making, the culmination of months, if not years of struggling with a single unsolvable problem. The circumstances of the Trigger can influence the Tinker's power, but it could just as easily result from a previous obsession, a pervasive personality trait, or even constant close contact with something specific at their day job.

As a Tinker, you have a lot more leeway here than most. Oh, and here's a link from Worm's author, Wildbow, where he goes into great detail on the aspects, ins-and-outs, and whatnot of being a Tinker for his yet to be finished tabletop.

Spoiler: Tinker ideas (click to show/hide)

My idea for a specialty is Information. Or to be more specific, Information Acquisition and Adaptation. Primarily, the creation of tech that can absorb data from the environment. This would include headsets, visors, that can perceive data from the environment, run internal simulations, and the like. Materials or mechanisms that can change, repair themselves and otherwise adapt to environmental stimuli, using knowledge gleaned from repeated trauma ( i.e. armour or weapons that adapt to heat, blunt force, radiation, etc. ) Stuff like that.

His methodology I feel would be Focal. Just going by the Google Doc ( HOLY SHIT can Wildbow world build ) I can see my guy having this pathological need to understand what's going on around him. An absence of internal motivation or clear direction would create an almost impulsive need to just compile knowledge about his situation.

Is this alright? I also have an idea for how to tie this knowledge acquisition obssession to his Trigger Event. I'm hoping none of this seems overpowered or disjointed.

That's absolutely fine. There's relatively little combat utility, but there's plenty of room to work with if you're clever, and it ties in with the established character quite nicely. I'll add your sheet to the OP.

Name: Mark Malarky
Age: 17?
Appearance: Mark is a short, stocky male of european ancestry.  His hair is grey, with but a few strands of brown betraying it's original color.  His face is weathered from hours of exposure, thick with lines that serve to contrast his brilliant forest green eyes.
Personality: Reserved, Calculating, Deceptive
Background: Mark claims that he was an orphan, snatched up off the streets by a local villian to serve as his slave.  At the age of eleven he was rescued and returned to standard education.  He claims to have lived a normal live since then, although little inconsistencies pop up when people notice that, for example, there are no records of him in any of the educational institutions he claims to have attended.  Not to mention him appearing about thirty years older then he claims to be
 

[Yottawhat]

Whoop! Just what I was hoping for.

Since I got a assortment of powers, I'm going to go with a multi-trigger/grab-bag power, a cape that has a few little powers and one moderate power.

A striker power that let's Jackie manipulate inorganic matter to form small weapons and armor plates.
A changer power to insert objects into his body.
A brute power to create reactive blasts of destructive energy. Inorganic matter hit by the blast fragments violently while organic matter (such as humans) are only knocked back.

Cool. Here's the idea for my power.

Mark Malarky? That's clever and given the potential for shenanigans, I think I'll let the advanced age slide. IN.

Looks like we're rolling 2d12.

Mark Malarky's power has two aspects, one Mover and one Thinker. How do they fit together?

The Striker and Changer powers are fine, but your power has two Brute aspects and you've only detailed one. That's more of a Blaster power than it is a Brute but I could see concussive blasts falling under the Brute category, so I'll allow it.

Cool. Here's the idea for my power.

Strength from Pain: The more pain Lilly is in the stronger she becomes.

That's completely in-line with the Brute category, and I'll add your sheet to the OP in short, heh order.

Cool I'm glad it was ok
