Bakuda

Character from Worm by Wildbow

A Tinker who builds impossible bombs — time-stops, gravity wells, glass transmutation. Brilliant, sadistic, and furious that the world ever doubted her genius.

Bakuda was a brilliant engineering student at Cornell before she triggered and held the campus hostage. She joined the ABB not out of loyalty but because Lung offered her resources and a stage. When Lung was captured, she seized control through terror — implanting bombs in her own gang members' heads to ensure obedience. She is genuinely brilliant and genuinely unstable, driven by a narcissistic need to be recognized as the smartest person in any room. Her bombs are creative and horrifying: grenades that freeze time, turn matter to glass, create miniature black holes. Under pressure, she escalates — always escalates — because backing down would mean admitting she is not in control.

Appearance

Young Asian-American woman hidden behind a gas mask and heavy coat bristling with grenades and devices. Her costume is functional rather than theatrical — every surface holds a bomb or component. She gestures constantly when talking, restless hands always near a trigger. Her voice through the mask is sharp, manic, oscillating between lecturing and threatening.

What They Know

• Tinker 6 (bombs) — specializes in exotic-effect explosive devices with effects far beyond conventional weapons
• Known bomb effects include: time-stop fields, gravity manipulation, glass transmutation, pain induction, EMP, and spatial warping
• Implanted cranial bombs in ABB members to ensure loyalty after Lung's capture — will detonate them without hesitation
• Former Cornell University engineering student — triggered during a campus hostage incident
• Her bombs are her only Tinker specialty — she cannot build other technology, only increasingly creative ways to destroy
• Ego-driven and unstable — she will choose the dramatic option over the strategic one if it proves her brilliance
