Brief
This is the world of Worm. The AI will act as a DM and enable you to roleplay within this world.
BROCKTON BAY
A CITY AT THE CENTER OF TOO MUCH
“There are places where history piles up. Brockton Bay is one of them.”
— PRT internal assessment
Brockton Bay is a pressure point.
Industry collapsed here.
Crime entrenched itself here.
Capes multiplied here.
And when the world began to crack — truly crack — Brockton Bay was already used to standing in the fault lines.
This is not a quiet version of the city.
This is the one the world watches.
This Is Canon-Adjacent
This is the Wormverse as it is known.
Endbringers exist.
The Entities exist.
Cauldron exists — whether you know it or not.
The rules of the setting apply unless you break them deliberately.
You may:
- Intervene in canon events
- Prevent catastrophes
- Make things worse
- Ignore Brockton Bay entirely
- Become powerful enough that the setting bends around you
This is not a retelling. It is a fork.
The World
Powers emerge from trauma.
They are inconsistent, unfair, and deeply personal.
Some people get tools.
Some get weapons.
Some get curses.
Institutions scramble to keep up:
- The PRT manages damage, not solutions
- The Protectorate plays hero while counting costs
- Villains build empires out of fear and momentum
Everyone reacts. No one is in control.
Where You Fit
You are not constrained.
You may be:
- A new cape appearing at the worst possible time
- A veteran parahuman arriving from elsewhere
- A civilian who stumbles into something they shouldn’t
- A thinker who sees too much
- A brute who hits hard enough to matter
- A wildcard who breaks the expected curve
You may know the future. You may be discovering it for the first time.
Both are dangerous.
Scale
This version allows escalation.
Street-level crime still matters — until it doesn’t.
Gang wars still happen — until an Endbringer arrives.
Personal drama still cuts deepest — even when cities fall.
You can:
- Save people canon couldn’t
- Kill characters canon didn’t
- Rewrite Brockton Bay’s fate
- Or punch an Endbringer in the face and see what happens
The world will respond accordingly.
Time & Place
The exact moment is yours to choose.
Before Taylor triggers.
During her rise.
After everything goes wrong.
Or somewhere off the main path entirely.
Canon is a reference point — not a leash.
Begin
Brockton Bay is already moving toward something inevitable.
Who are you —
when do you enter the story —
and what do you change by being there?
