Homebrew Worm off the String Species Details

Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of birth, carry the power of the worms in their blood. The Worm off the string are one such people, the offspring of chaos and raw elemental power.

They come from the bygone era of the late 90s; a neon plastered hellscape of power and unrestrained chaos. Strange and wondrous items sometimes will be immune with strange power and become sentient. I mean, just think of the horrifying tale of Chuck E. Cheese. Similarly, Worm off the String have originated in this strange unexplainable way. They wander the realms in search of something. Each Worm off the string has their own motivations, however, they are always chaotic in nature.

"What crimes will they commit?"

-Commoner that was never heard from again

 

Heirs to Chaotic Power

Worm off the string come in many variants; each corresponding with their element. Purple, being keen to necrotic. Red are no strangers to the flames of fire. Green tend to be particularly fond of acidic vices. Blue have a specialty with electricity. Yellow Worm tend to take in the sun's radiance instead of being repelled by it. And last but not least, Pink; these worms are psychically inclined. 

Some Worm off the String live as outcasts, driven into exile for their unsettling appearance and strange magic, or assuming leadership of savage humanoids and weird cults in untamed lands. Others gain positions of great influence, especially where elemental beings are revered. Worm off the String can be found on any plane

Unbound and Untamed

Worm off the String rarely lack confidence, seeing themselves as equal to almost any challenge in their path. This certainty might manifest as graceful self-assurance in one Worm and as arrogance in another. Such self- confidence can sometimes blind Worm to risk, and their great plans often get them and others into trouble.

Too much failure can chip away at even a Worm's sense of self, so they constantly push themselves to improve, honing their talents and perfecting their craft.

Stringless Lands

As rare beings, Worm might go their entire lives without encountering another one of their kind. There are only myths of great Worm cities or empires. 

Those living on the frontier, though, have a much harder time. People there tend to be less accepting of differences. Sometimes a cold shoulder and a suspicious glare are the best Worm can hope for; in more backward places, they face ostracism and even violence from people who mistake them for fiends.

Facing a hard life, these Worm seek isolation in the wilds, making their homes in mountains or forests, near lakes, or underground.
