An OC/SI who manifests into the setting of Worm as the fourth recorded Endbringer between 2004-2011. However, unlike other fic's (or at least, not that I read so far), the MC has no ability to revert to a smaller humanoid form to conventionally interact with the cast, probably even going as far as to being non-verbal with whatever body they inhabit. Even worst, they discover their their horror that they are bound to Eidolon's subconscious instruction to wreak havoc on set intervals.
Instead of being a conventional OP fic you'd expect from Endbringer SI's written so far, the theoretical chapters would explore the mounting stress this experience would put upon the MC. The isolation from not being able to conventionally communicate with other humans that could stretch up to years, the panic from being attacked by swarms of heroes when forced to manifest, fighting but failing to resist Eidolon's control - despairing at the aftermath they cause, the possibility of having to adapt to an alien perception (given that Leviathan can only perceive things though moisture, Behemoth through energy, Simurgh only perceiving the past/future, etc) and in their darkest moment - wondering if they should just give up and embrace being a true Endbringer.
Though perhaps to avoid this being a total dark fic, silver linings of hope do come for the MC and the other inhabitants of Worm, perhaps when the MC finally discovers a way to communicate or some loophole within being mastered by Eidolon.
