Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter One: The Cosmos (section)

===Training:===
Wyrms are often the most security-minded of the Inspired, focusing on acts of subtle retribution: Computer, Investigation, Stealth, and Larceny are areas of particular focus, and most Neids favor Subterfuge over other Social skills. Generally, Neids prefer the oblique approach.

Many Neids are brilliant, and even those that were mediocre scholars before their Breakthrough feel their intellects transformed by Mania upon becoming Inspired, meaning that most favor Mental Attributes. Many Neids make poor Social specimens, though, with arrogance, suspicion, and sheer orneriness limiting their ability to make friends and influence people. A few Neids, though, keep their bitterness well-hidden, and are often masters of Manipulation, but few of the Banished have much Composure; the slightest hint of rudeness can send one careening into an insane rant. Whether a Neid is physically-oriented varies greatly; most come from academic or technical fields, which makes it unlikely, but the few non-scientific Neids who appear are 
often tough and physically capable, and others see fitness of body as an important adjunct to fitness of mind.

Despite their frequently limited Social abilities, many Neids have old contacts and favors owed that give them an impressive collection of Social Merits: Allies might be rare, but Contacts, Resources, and especially Status are all very common, and even Fame is not unheard-of; at least one infamous Neid even has a late-night radio show where her rants about the government destroying her research have made her a local celebrity.
