Notes for "When You Begin to Worry"

These are the notes for "When You Begin to Worry."


[Character design by [personal profile] dialecticdreamer]
World-Worker -- He has light olive skin, gray-green eyes, and short brown hair with a short beard and moustache, along with a lot of body hair. He has a long face with a big nose and wears big glasses with squarish lenses. He is tall and skinny. This is a chat room username for a friend of Halley Finn.
World-Worker is the oldest, and the one with the least accommodating
school situation when he was a kid. He ended up a black cape much the way
Juan did; they were the people who bothered to meet his /basic/ needs. (In
his case, boredom is DANGEROUS, not something he could "learn to deal
with" without DECADES more practice than the teachers were willing to
allow.) World-Worker /is/ a super-gizmologist and a black cape. He is serious about helping other soups, in hopes of preventing the kind of awful mistakes that he made.
Origin: His powers grew in during childhood, causing a lot of trouble. The super-intelligence came first, then gizmology by his preteens and super-gizmology in his teens.
Uniform: Street clothes, often jeans with a hoodie.
Qualities: Expert (+4) Computer Wizard, Good (+2) Concentration, Good (+2) Dexterity, Good (+2) Peer Counseling
Powers: Expert (+4) Super-Gizmology, Good (+2) Super-Intelligence
Vulnerability: Boredom hurts.
Motivation: Anyone can be hacked.

"When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem."
-- Joyce Meyer
