Wyrds of the Multiverse
 Villains and Vigilantes
Local law enforcement are frequently at odds with
Wyrds due to their penchant for taking matters into
their own hands as either villains or vigilantes.
As villains, they’ll sew the seeds of chaos using
their abilities to get rich or execute violence until
they get what they want. In some cases their quirk
can overcome their sense of reason and drive them
insane, or perhaps free their inhibitions and allow
them to become the true villain they’ve always been.
Oddly enough, in many worlds being a vigilante is
seen as even more of a threat. With anonymity and
power, the Wyrd rarely answers for their so-called
good deeds. Sure, the Wyrd may save the day, but
they are ultimately breaking the law each time they
hold their own moral code above the rules civilised
society has agreed to follow!
Whether or not a Wyrd becomes a vigilante or
a villain depends largely on who and how they are
trained. Most Wyrds encounter their quirks alone
and can become frightened of them due to the dra-
matic transformations they evoke. Without support,
it is an unfortunate liklihood the Wyrd will become
villainous or at the very least, extremely self-serving.
If a Wyrd does take this darker path, however, it is
not necessarily because they were just born bad or Wyrds of the Beast Within appear in a variety of ways.

happen). In most cases, much like how a vigilante

Wyrds of the Multiverse
 A “Wyrd” is a heroric archtype in which the hero has powers and abilities only when transformed.
This transformation is usually granted by a special entity, item or phenomena and invoked by
reciting a special word or phrase, using a special item, or some other special action of the hero.
