Im running a game set in the worm universe, where people manifest thematically appropriate super powers during trigger events(moments of incredible stress that are often life threatening/altering)
tell me about your greatest trauma so I can give you a power and use you as an NPC in my game.
Once, I accidentally took part in a 30 people slav brawl equipped only in a cheap scooter helmet and took only minor damage
I have severe emetophobia.
you have an aura of passivity that extends 10 feet from your body, its stronng enough to deescalate major conflict(murders, rapes) into minor ones(assault) and completely stops minor conflict.
you can turn the effect on or off but have no control besides that, you are resistant to the effect of your own powers but far from immune.
I got fouled in a basketball game
I was working in a grocery store and a drunk guy broke a bottle of wine and cut his own throat with it and me and the baker had to restrain him and put pressure on his neck until the EMT's arrived
it needs to be a specific event, likely one pertaining to your emetophobia.
My best friend killed himself, and sometimes I see him in my dreams.
I was sexually assaulted by a friend after we all fell asleep on our buddy's floor after a house party. We'd hooked up a few times before and were kind of a thing, but she just started touching me while we were surrounded by about five of our sleeping friends on the floor and couches. I tried telling her 'no' repeatedly (as quietly as I possibly could, to avoid waking anyone up), but she didn't stop until I involuntarily came.
She thought it was funny or naughty or whatever, but we were surrounded by our sleeping friends and I was so terribly uncomfortable. I tried shoving her hand away and telling her to stop, but I was terrified that people would wake up and see what was happening if I made too much noise, and I was also scared of hurting her because (I thought) she was my friend.
Having an orgasm while having a panic attack simultaneously has kind of fucked up my relationship with sexual intimacy for the last couple of years. Every time I do anything with anyone there's always this nagging voice in the back of my mind saying "If I ask them to stop, will they?"
Yeah, fuck, this got heavy. I've never told anyone about this in real life. I guess being a victim of this sort of thing is fairly easy to theme a super power around, though.
I was thrown into a wall by my own brother, and it knocked a knife off a wall display and that knife fell through my wrist. I had to go to the hospital with the knife wrapped in place still inside my wrist, where the doctors removed it. My hand now makes clicky noises when i rotate it, but i kept the hand.
