Not including Silence is Not Consent. It’s easily one of if not my favorites but I recently reread it.

So the idea of this is loosely based on an attempt to “wormify” the power system of the soulsborne games, although if anyone had any other ideas I’d be super interested to hear them!

So basically this power is centered around a sort of immortality power and an escalating brute package that resets every death. Every time the cape kills someone they get slightly stronger, faster, and more resilient with the boost being proportional to how hard the fight was (so no walking into a hospice with a gun and going to town) with capes giving an especially big boost. However, this gets completely reset to whatever their physical baseline was whenever they first triggered every time they die (including their biological age, so if they triggered at 15 and made it five years without being killed and then died they’d go from a biological 20 year old back to a 15 year old). On death their old body is left to rot while a new one “spawns in” wherever they consider to be their home.
