She will move there before her trigger event, actually. You are welcome for Worm awareness!

I cannot wait for Wormverse Bell.
Especially since (Worm spoilers) there's still a Brockton Bay, and that means the Endbringers are still actively squashing anyone who significantly improves the world, and somehow I'm thinking of Simurgh versus Bell as a fair fight. This can't really avoid being awesome.
Isn't 12 a high number for this? Aside from Triumvirate-level characters, there is one power rated 12. Combining it with a usefully powerful Tinker ability is even bigger. I'm almost worried she might be too powerful to be a Wormverse protagonist.

I don't think she's too powerful. The Thinker power is, as I said, completely passive - it renders her immune (but only personally) to some other powers, but it doesn't let her do anything by itself. To do things she needs to tinker.

Ah. In that case we're only disagreeing about the classification, and that doesn't matter.

I was just thinking about which worlds I am most looking forward to reading. Here's a list for no particular reason!
Unthreaded:
Pacifica
Frozen
Cape
Dread
Threaded:
Cenozoia
Edda

Unless I am forgetting about some unthreaded worlds or threads-still-in-progress, Cape is at the top of my unthreaded list and Cenozoia is at the top of my threaded list (excepting the Vorkosigan threads which I am very excited about but cannot read yet because I haven't finished the source material).

Read them anyway; that's what I'm doing. Just assume that anything Awesome is because of our friendly neighborhood writers, and anything Not Awesome is from the source material. It worked great for Luminosity.
But on this list, nothing beats Cape.

Of the unthreaded, I'm most excited about Lorica, Gem, and Sierra.

I sort afraid about Lorica because I want to read Worm before, is she showing up soon?
Cenozia isnt that exciting but it was interrupted sort of abruptly-ish?
I still suffering from a little hype backslash from frozen. Which canon is "Dread"?

Lorica's suffering from timeline problems. We will need kappa to have unusually large reserves of brainpower to be able to address them. But once we have that sorted out, I already have the first post and we have lots of plot mapped.
"Frozen" isn't movieverse. We're doing a proper Snow Queen adaptation - the Frozen movie has only two things in common with the fairy tale, a) the concept of a snow-related queen b) medically insupportable side effects associated with ice injuries to the heart.
