Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

Build a Hero II (with all new working information)

Here are the new resources:
https://cityoftitans.com/guides go to Character Construction and Power Sets for Descriptions
https://cityoftitans.com/forum/compilation-information-city-titans see post 5, it shows what will be available at launch

Put together a hero with the information we have. Nothing much just a quick concept.
I'll start

Movement:
Primary:
Secondary:
Tertiary:

Spirit Ranged/Support available at launch
Movement: Flight
Primary::Lethality
Secondary:Barrier Generation
Tertiary:Defense Defense Defense

Spirit is a Green Lantern type toon, but with a ghostly theme. The special effect will not be bubbles but a white glowing outline over characters protected. The blast itself will likely be a white featureless blast but if fun special effects are available I might pick one of those as well.
The costume will be all white, not sure yet if Spirit will be male or female, but I already have ideas for either one.

Spirit was given a ring by a dying but disgusting alien. once worn, it melded into his finger. Now he fights crime because the bounties are great! If you need to hire him, seek out an old trailer with the sign, Titan City Investigations.

Black Falcon Gladiator

Black Falcon Gladiator available at launch. This will be a test build.

Movement: Flight w/wings
Primary: Kinetic melee (chosen for the drain effect, after launch I may trade this for Vampiric melee when available)
Secondary: Atrophic Aura (only if the defense is decent). Otherwise solid form, she is gonna tank if she can.
Tertiary: Rage Rage Rage

Special effects: Darkness, a smoky aura about her hands.
Black Falcon is my main character. I do have a write up for her, but in a nutshell, her body is a pinprick portal to a netherworld dimension allowing her to control dark corrosive energies.

CODENAME: Safehouse

CODENAME: Safehouse
Melee/Protection
MOVEMENT: Parkour
PRIMARY: Super Strength
SECONDARY: Super Agility
TERTIARY: Force Blast

Safehouse doesn't have anything really that he's based upon, but he is centered around magic. His attacks will, if I can manage it, look as if they are charged with deep violet-red energy that swirls around him like embers - think what the night sky looks like when stained by the light from a city. Similarly, if it's possible, his energy blasts will be deep purple/black with a reddish tinge, and will form and shoot in the air around him. If air emanation points are not possible, it will shoot from his fingers.

His costume will be a mixture of gray-white with yellow trim, with a red cape and gloves. Black or blue pants with a white stripe down the side of each leg. Knee high, laced boots that will be red or black.

Safehouse went through an encounter in his childhood that awakened his magical abilities too early. Without any awareness of what he was doing, he used the power in him to imitate his childhood hero and force himself to have super strength and reflexes. He resolved the conflict, but in so doing, he "broke" himself and made it so that he cannot perform proper magic. Instead, his arcane energy flows through him at all times.

Although he cannot perform the usual magic, Safehouse's energy flowing through him has doused his every cell in power, granting him incredible reflexes and greatly enhanced strength. When necessary, he can even call upon the power to shoot intense concussive blasts, but using too much of that ability drains him and leaves him weakened.

There are more details, but I'm literally writing a book series about this guy so I'm going to leave it at this :)

Name: Safehouse
Ranger: Gunner
Primary: Force Blast
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Kinetic Melee
Travel Power: Parkour
Status: Traveling. Following rumors of a huge city in Massachusetts that is teeming with supers.

Errant Knight Based off of

Errant Knight Based off of Jedi/Sith characters

Movement:Parkour/Super Jump
Primary: Massive Melee (uses normal size glowy sword as close to light saber as I can get)
Secondary: True Grit
Tertiary: Force Lightning (ranged blast), 2nd ranged blast to simulate a TK push/knockback, psychic control

Errant Knight will exist to use speak as many Memorized star wars quotes as possible.
He grew up as a fanboy with every star wars toy he could get (his collection is impressive). as luck had it he was a mutant, and his powers developed along his obsession. He could turn his toy light sabers into real ones! After lopping off his own arm and replacing it with a cyber one, he leaned fencing...NOW he is ready to live out his adventure.
Originally he called himself, the Jedi Knight but Lucas sued him.

Codename: Black Fox/Instinct

Codename: Black Fox/Instinct/Shadow Fox/Fox Fire (Just haven't decided yet! Just know she's being renamed from Brand X, the CoH version)
Primary: Fighting Prowess (subject to change depending on how the power set plays out)
Secondary: Grit
Tertiary: Lethal Ranged
Movement: Undecided! Could go so many ways!

Abducted at the age of three to be used as part of secret Naval Intelligence experiment, lead by the now deceased Admiral Richard Hayes and currently on the run Dr James McClane, currently working in as a superhero, high school senior, occasional collaborator with the Admiral Alexander Wolfe, head of Naval Intelligence.

The experiment, known as Project: Archfiend v2.0, is the second incarnation of an older, failed experiment to create living weapons of war. In the second attempt, lead by Dr McClane, he took children he discovered linked to powerful (thought to be myth) figures. Black Fox is a kumiho and unknown (at least to her) daughter of Inari.

Comic book equivalent (not that she's meant to be an equivalent to any, but for basic idea), she'd be Spider-Girl meets X-23 (a super powered street level hero) with a splash of the Phoenix Force (for her it's called Fox Fire) that she has very little access to due to her own mental blocks.

If Grit plays like Stalker Willpower (Regen/Defense focused with a splash of Smashing/Lethal/Fire/Cold/Psy resist for a tad of durability feel) I will be in heaven O.O

A kumiho (Korean myth, always evil) instead of a kitsune (Japanese myth, morally ambiguous)? Any descendant of Inari is going to have an 'interesting' life! *grin*

I wanted to change things up

I wanted to change things up from CoH version of the character. Kumiho versus Kitsune, belief in them is a bit different with links to each other, but CoH version was Kitsune, ad when reworking the story for my main (major reboot idea), I knew I still wanted her to be a fox so I went looking for other fox myths.

Japanese seemed more popular than Korean when it came to concepts, so I wanted to change her CoH version of Irish/Japanese to Korean/European (total mixed bag of European with a leaning towards French this time). Kumiho are more evil, but that doesn't mean they can't be heroes.

Changed up her military background too. From Army to Navy. I liked the idea of Naval Intelligence (the original government intelligence agency) and SEAL training (known to work with the CIA helps here) made that change. Also, my dad being retired Navy, I liked it for that too :p

As for the daughter of Inari. That was an added change from CoH version of Project: Archfiend too :) Before they were just tied to various mythological creatures. This time I wanted them linked to named mythological persons. Inari, Lillith, Dracula, Anansi and Persephone with two others is what I have so far as background characters that I hope to use in some way in CoT, like in Nemesis system if CoT gets it or Architect Mission equivalent :)

The ideas are coming! I hope I can pull them off :)

Those that call themselves heroes or villains these days are so rusty and untrained and sometimes you need someone of veterancy to show you the way, to think outside the box and deny the enemy and as long as they pay i'm happy.

.... And maybe... just maybe... Ill get a chance to clear up some loose end for me and the boys, I'll operate from the shadows under a false identity as a semi-crappy IT contractor at least that gives me an alibi.

Grav

Secondary: Fighting Prowess/Kinetic Melee (Not sure which has more 'floaty' animations
Tertiary: Super Agility

Grav, a test subject for an unknown corporation which stored him in a hidden facility. Its believed that from a young age, they were training his body to withstand incredible amounts of gravitational force in hopes that they would develop new tech capable of helping astronauts withstand higher levels of gravity on different planets. On XXXXXXX 11, XXXX he was sent into what the other subjects called "Jaw" but was officially named B3-2, the most intense gravity machine. Every other person who entered, did not come out, except him. Instead, the intense levels of gravity changed his molecular buildup for him to become conduit of gravity, bringing him back from the brink of death. Now he is different. Now, he is Grav.

As foolish as this seems,

Gotem.

Name: not sure. Probably

Name: not sure. Probably something like Fembot 2000, or Gynoid. But there are so many historical precedents in film and literature. Like Hel/Maria from Metropolis or Silica from Starchaser.

Archetype: Stalwart - Centurion
Primary Powerset: Invulnerability - she was designed to take all sorts of punishment and resist all sorts of chemicals with little maintenance
Secondary Powerset: Psychic Control - she is fully programmed for seduction of both sexes
Tertiary Powerset: Super Strength - she is a robot, after all
Travel Power: some sort of vehicle, like a hoverboard

Forgetting the zeroth law of robotics, this love-bot's manufacturer programmed his prototype to love man. As a result, she logically concluded that in order to love man, she had to make the world a safe place and defeat the wicked for penance and rehabilitation. When assigned her first test John, she promptly restrained him, busted out of the facility and took him to the police. She then marched back out into Titan City and has been on a tireless crusade to "love man" ever since.

The character concept would be a shiny metallic Fem-bot trope with secondary and tertiary sexual characteristics like pink hair and a skirt, with built-in high heels on her feet typical of chauvinist's portrayal of a sexy woman, but obviously a futuristic robot.


I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.

Fyi, Control sets are not

Fyi, Control sets are not slated for Tertiaries at this time. When versions are made for Manipulation sets, those will be made into Tertiairies. If we have time and if testing reveals viability, we may be able to make Control Tertiaries. But those "ifs" comprise many large complexities.

Right now, ithe only sets being made into Tertiairies are Secondary Sets.

You know ... it might be a good idea to redo this subject in each of the archetype forums, with links to the guides appropriate to that specific archetype's primary/secondary powersets and the Tertiary list for that specific archetype, so as to help people orient around the possibilities a bit easier for each archetype.

Ah, Alexandria under the Ptolemies! It was a city of wonders, replete with all the knowledge of the ancient world. Long did I study natural philosophy with the Greek scholars, and magic with the Egyptian priests.

A moment's distraction in the learning of a spell sent me to London of the Nineteenth Century. Adapting to this new world, I compared notes with Blavatsky, exchanged barbs with Crowley, and sought wisdom together with Yeats.

Dion Fortune recruited me for the Mystical Battle of Britain, but my disgust over the betrayal of Greece led me to abandon the Allied cause before the war ended. The next half-century I spent perfecting myself in a quest of a highly personal nature.

Shortly after the turn of the next century, this quest led me to an imaginal world, where I found myself in the middle of another huge battle. In the aftermath of Pesh, I found the answer to my question, and a new purpose for my life.

Now I battle a foe of nearly unimaginable power across much of the nearby multiverse. How does one man defeat the well-nigh infinite? Well, in part, he seeks powerful allies and friends. So here I am in this new city of wonders. Care to fight the good fight with me?

What becomes of a magical duplicate or clone when it has outlived its usefulness? I inherited enough of my creator's wit to escape before I found out. Now to locate his greatest rival and offer my services...

I realized that a black hole could be useful as a source of energy if harnessed properly. For my post-doctoral project, I learned to create microscopic black holes with a particle accelerator. I then trapped each hole in a gravitic/magnetic caliper, and carefully fed it matter (in the form of air) to balance its energy loss via Hawking radiation. The Hawking radiation, and compression, in turn heated and ionized the infalling matter, creating a rapidly spinning accretion disk. Frictional heating and magnetic interactions in each accretion disk produced tiny relativistic jets of electromagnetic energy and subatomic particles perpendicular to the disk. The relativistic jets, and any remaining Hawking radiation, could be tapped for energy, or other uses.

The design was failsafe, since without a carefully modulated matter feed, these black holes would evaporate in much less than a second, producing only a tiny, easily contained explosion. To make the source of power portable, I designed a self-contained capsule for each black hole. Two of the capsules fit comfortably into a special control glove, cancelling the angular momentum from the spin of the accretion disks.

There was room in the gauntlet, and more than enough power, to add a gravitic generator large enough for macroscopic uses. With two matching gauntlets, gravitic boots, a centralized control computer, a helmet display system, and a protective suit, I had created a tool that could be of great benefit to humanity.

Too bad a local supervillain group heard about my invention. I managed to evade capture long enough to put on the suit, and open a wormhole to another universe at random. Well, that's one trick I hope never to use again. Now, to make the most of my new circumstances...

Hmm. The magician has a point. No Hubble Volume will be safe until this threat is neutralized. I agreed to join Team Aether.

...until Bastion and Control Tertiarys come out, then,

Bastion: Atrophic Aura (golden fire and light animtions)/Atrophic or Kinetic or whatever appropriate Assault they come up with (golden fire/energy/light animations)/ some appropriate Control or Support set (golden fire/energy/light animations)/Bruiser Mastery

Origin/Bio: Former fighter pilot turned Astronaut. Science-based fusion metabolism "living sun" type solar powers from piloting the first manned Solar probe, due to it being sabatoged by some nefarious organization. Later augmented by being given an arcane artifact of a Sun god conferring sun-based magical powers and protections. I'll work in what nefarious organization and what artifact and god based on CoT lore.

No big tragedy, decent childhood, nothing emo, nothing weird, not an antihero, not an antivillain, not a Boy Scout, just a guy. He's not perfect, he just wants to use his powers to do the right thing and help. Enough story drama comes from his trying to actually do the right thing and how difficult and confusing that can be.

Especially when you nasty villains out there mess with his head :P.

RP/PS Edit- Empyrean has highly refined, precise control over the amount and type of radiant energy and plasma that he produces--plus added solar magic abilities--so he can easily keep things "less lethal". No immolating jaywalkers or "arresting" people with solar-level temperatures :P.

Now he has returned, an abomination that sits between life and death, he has claimed to be an emissary for "The Deep Ones" as he calls them, and with his new water controlling powers and Tommy Gun, he intends to do the bidding to the very word.

My primary 3:

My primary 3:

Gasket

(Bastion when released) Stalwart for now
Primary: Solid Form
Secondary: Massive Melee (Force Blast once Bastion)
Tertiary: Gravity
Movement:Super jump
masteries: Battle leader x2, living target x1

Gasket is a giant walking slag heap of metal that uses metal resources nearby to replace destroyed parts. He likes kids and animals but rarely talks. His combat is very slow and methodical. He prefers to stay put and take out his foes with an assortment of found tech he has bolted to himself. He will stop attacking if friendlies are in the area and seek to provide them protective shelter instead.

Melody

Movement:Flight
(Gunner when released) Partisan for now
Primary: Leathality
Secondary: Barrier Generation (Atrophic Aura once Gunner)
Tertiary: Atrophic Aura (Force Blast if allowed to double dip ranged once Gunner)

masteries: Bombardment x3
Melody is exceptionally violent and controls the four elements as weapons when she hears or produces any musical sound.

Masqued

Movement: "Teleport"
Director
Primary: Psychic Control
Secondary: Vampiric Emination
Tertiary: Illisuions

masteries: Magnitude x2, Supremacy x1

Masqued (pronounced Masked) is a hero who is always forgotten, literally. She has the power of suggestion and while the suggestion will remain once she is out of eye site the memory of her fades. Nothing remembers her, not living creatures, demons, outer world beings, or even technologies.

My 4th im trying to work out:

"BookEnd"

Movement: parkour
Director
Primary: Pets
Secondary: Strategy
Tertiary: Lethality

masteries: Balance x3

BookEnd has no physical abilities but does posses a slight precognition ability. He uses this ability to dodge attacks and gives orders to a small group of street level supers who follow his every word with 100% trust. His team strikes with accuracy knowing that as long as BookEnd is on their side they will always have the advantage.

My yet unnamed self-spliced

edit: Name: Edward X. Evo

Movement: Super Jump and Spider Climb, possibly more later.
Primary: Super Strength
Secondary: Super Agility
Tertiary: Super Senses and/or Atrophic Blast
Masteries: Predation/Surprise Strike

Logic: A self-made gene-mod would need to have his nose in the books, so probably has no time for combat training. Raw strength makes sense, then, with agility as secondary because primary agility would indicate conscious training in self defense, not just enhanced reflexes. A wide range of travel powers are possible, including anything that could be explained by increased strength/weight ratio. Super senses would fit perfectly, though only biological stuff, nothing exotic like x-rays. If I have room for atrophic blast, it would represent a biological attack that poisons the targets, such as biologically produced venom or acid.

Game Analysis: Looking back, this seems like a single-target striker. Dodge-based defenses are doomed to fail against mobs in most games, and I'm betting super strength is nothing like massive melee. This is why I think predation mastery will compliment for a narrowly focused role. A single atrophic power would only be there because it fits the character concept, not for any game strategy.

Looks: Attacks will look physical with as little special effects as possible. Character will start with one or two minor oddities, such as the eyes, but will look less and less human over time as he mods more and more.

Hint: This character is also a convenient excuse for anyone to add a new power or look to their character. He will mod the willing for a price, whether it's legal to do so or not. Someone gets gene-modded against their will, however, and this guy will go ballistic. He does not tolerate that. He's all about morphological freedom and self-ownership of the body.

Edit: Hero side, if we have to pick and can't be gray.

Black Valkyrie

Black Valkyrie

Real Name: Signe Svarte

Archetype: Guardian 'Sentinel'(?)

Movement: Flight, Long-range Teleport
Primary: Support 'Vampiric Emanation'
Secondary: Ranged 'Vampiric Blast'
Tertiary: Spear Fighting, Utility Powers

From the mists of Niflheim and dark queen Hel, comes battle-maid Signe, or ‘New Victory’. Steeped in dark magic, she turned away from Helheim’s path to serve the light of Asgard as a Valkyrie. But that light came from the harvest of Heroes, those the Valkyries chose.

Signe rebelled. Instead of choosing heroes to die, she used her magic to ‘choose the living’, to heal them, so that they might continue to gain glory. This revolt against Asgard’s way was discovered and Signe was cast down, denied the apples of youth, and banished, doomed to wander Midgard (Earth), undying, powerless and alone.

Millennia have passed and Valhalla’s glory is a dim, grey memory, but Odin wants to take advantage of this new Age of Heroes. Seeking an envoy, he hoped for Thor, or Uller, or Heimdall, one of the bright heroes of old, but all he found is dark Signe, toiling among the mortals. Now revived and re-empowered, the Black Valkyrie has returned to choosing the living, that heroes might gain glory, for the greater good of both worlds.

Signe is a Valkyrja Völva, a Valkyrie practitioner of Seidr, a sorceress and weaver of fate, answerable only to the Norns, or Odin. She is an experienced and skillful warrior, with spear and shield, or any other weapon, but she prefers to depend on Seidr. Instead, she uses her spear Geirmist (Cloud-spear), itself a potent magical weapon, as a focus for directing her rune-casting.

The Black Valkyrie’s magic runes drain energy from her targets. She uses this energy to ‘re-weave fate’ and weaken her enemies, while strengthening herself and her companions.

For a woman who claims to be 5000 years old, Signe looks remarkably young and vibrant. She is tall, over 6 feet, and powerfully muscled. Her face shows prominent bone-structure and her nose is a fierce blade, which does support her tale, of a long harsh life, but her generous mouth and easy smile soften that perception. Her skin is Nordic-pale with a light tan, in contrast to long, wavy, blue-black hair and deep indigo eyes.

She has seen everything under the sun, a dozen times over, which experience gives her an air of wisdom, and she IS wise. However, she is also a rebel, encouraging and supporting those who strive against whatever destiny might limit them. She enables those who strive to do more, regardless of obstacles.

Her humor is boisterous and unrestrained, as are her other passions, she has little time for regrets. She’s already made every mistake a person could and forgiven herself for them.

She wears a headdress of golden metal, which frames her face, and is surmounted by a pair of bright wings. She sometimes adorns her hair with beaded combs or a few feathers.

She wears a light cuirass over a brief-sleeved tunic and trousers of quilted material, tucked into tall boots with armored reinforcements and knee caps. Armored bracers with elbow caps protect her forearms, but leave her hands free. Over this basic gear, she often wears a long clasped cloak, or brocade great-coat.

The Black Valkyrie’s colors are deep midnight indigo and black, with gold accessories. She does not wear a formal crest, but may use an etched runestone with the ‘rune of Life’, Algiz, as her symbol.

Shade Spider is the secret identity of multi-billionaire Christopher Hines. As a child, he inherited his family's company, HinesCorp, when his family was killed in a mob attack. Using his company's resources and scientific know how, he constructed himself a special black suit of flexible armor that allowed him to have the agility and strength of a spider, which he based himself off of because that's what was commonly feared. While he acts as a mid-thirties billionaire playboy as a civilian, Christopher has developed the persona of the Shade Spider, enacting a never-ending war on crime.

I basically created him as an amalgam of Spider-Man and Batman.

Short synopsis: Bit of a bizarre character concept here, but one I role-played with in CoX. Son of a Russian ex-pat and a Somalian refuge who were killed by the people who turned him into a child soldier. Years later, rehabilitation didn't quite take. He became a mercenary for a private company. He was betrayed on a mission and had to run from employers in remote territory. He ended up deep in a recently unearthed cavern to try to shake pursuit, where he was the first person in millennia to set foot in a particular cave. There he was infused by some ancient elemental thing and recovered from what should have been fatal wounds. Now he has wings and can control the wind, but still relies primarily on paramilitary training. After eliminating his betrayers he now works for himself. Villain side.

Instead of revenge, Stuarts wanted Justice, and that bound him enough to the material plane to allow him to continue wandering, searching for those whose deeds have earned them a very uncomfortable place in the afterlife.

Limited how? Aren't they going with CharacterName@GlobalName, which pretty much opens up any name you want for your account?

Oh no I just meant youll end up doubling up with someone else's idea, or a past IP. The language itself has only so many names. Youre completely right we'll be able to choose whatever name we want.

It has been quite a while since CoH.

Well, this looks fun. Can I

Well, this looks fun. I think it's particularly interesting how people are rebuilding old characters. So, here's my own exercise in classic retro-Paragon nostalgia. These are some of my 50s from back in the day, you know how it goes. For the sake of sanity, I'm limiting myself to one per archetype, and sticking to what we know will be in at launch:

STALWART (Protection)

Leading Lady
Archetype: Stalwart (Bastion)
Movement: Flight
Primary: Invulnerability
Secondary: Fighting Prowess
Tertiary: Vampiric Blast
Mastery: Living Target, Battle Leader

"All the world's a stage. I aced the audition." - It made the news when she got powers, because how many actresses are bulletproof? Well, okay, the answer is 'quite a few', but she definitely does her own stunts.

OOC: My primary tank in CoH, Leading Lady was IO'd as tough as I could make her, and played as a team-centric hero. The working build is my take on how to manage that in CoT, while keeping flavour - some of the other protection sets look fun, but LL was 'Invulnerability', so...

ENFORCER (Melee)

Battery Acid
Archetype: Enforcer (Gladiator)
Movement: Parkour, Super Jump
Primary: Kinetic Melee
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Lethality
Mastery: Rage

"Well, well, this'll be fun." - She's just misunderstood, really. She's a fun-loving creative type who's just out there pursuing her dreams. Like, you know, achieving apotheosis to become a God(dess) or non-gender-specific omnipotent being. As you do.

OOC: Battery Acid was my primary villain back in CoV, an electric melee brute. IO'd to be as tanky as possible. But that was before side-switching and true redside tanks. If I'm getting my tank fix elsewhere, maybe I'll try building her as a purer engine of destruction this time around.

GUARDIAN (Support)

Realpolitik
Archetype: Guardian (Sentinel)
Movement: Parkour, Grapnel
Primary: Strategy
Secondary: Lethality
Tertiary: Super Agility
Mastery: Balance

"Nothing personal, you understand." - The ends justify the means, or so Realpolitik believes. It takes arrogance to name yourself after a political concept, especially one that's so problematic. Of course, Realpolitik's smart. Unfortunately, not as smart as he thinks he is.

OOC: Realpolitik was the closest I had to a main back in CoH. He was technically a vigilante, but objectively would be… more a villain who THINKS he's a hero. Huntsman VEAT, meaning a fairly tanky yet team-centric build, with a gun… so something like this build, maybe?

RANGER (Ranged Damage)

Obsolete
Archetype: Ranger (Partisan)
Movement: Flight
Primary: Atrophic Blast
Secondary: Vampiric Emanation
Tertiary: Grit
Mastery: Suppression

"The atom is your friend." - Nobody's sure who built the robot now called "Obsolete", or why. Well, presumably for domestic work, since she's a robot maid. But her creator must have had strange ideas about housework, considering the rockets and death rays. The 1950s were weird.

OOC: Obsolete was the squishiest character I regularly played in hard content. I spent a lot of time faceplanted. Though since she's an atomic-powered robot villain, that was kinda in-character. She was a team-friendly Rad/Rad Corruptor, so this is my take on replicating that.

OPERATOR (Control)

Alec Kazam
Archetype: Operator (Director)
Movement: Flight, Teleport
Primary: Illusions
Secondary: Devices
Tertiary: Psychic Blast
Mastery: Focus

"Nothing up my sleeve... " - Some mages are wise old sages. Some are chosen by divine beings. Alec? He picked up magic in college. He's a co-founder of Wikigrimoire, the magical library anyone can edit. And he will ask you to pick a card. Any card.

OOC: Alec's been Illusions, Time, various things on CoH, but he was rerolled a lot. Strictly speaking, I put more playtime on Alec over in Champions Online, but he's always been a summon and heal-debuff sorta street hero. This build seems to fit a squishy magical jack-of-all-trades. Though I'm considering renaming the CoT version of Alec to something like 'Wizzard' or 'Light Fantastic' as a homage... and if you get that, you'd know why.

My first post, but this looks

My first post, but this looks pretty fun so I guess I'll use this to break the ice. Been looking forward to this game so much, myself and some friends have been working on the story and rp aspects behind characters for months now. I like Acyl's format with the added quote, so hope you don't mind me stealing the idea. :)
I've never played CoH, so I can't make any analogs to that.

Enforcer

Asher Kinsaeda
Movement: Teleport, Flight
Primary: Tactical Combat (dual spirit swords)
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Mix of support effects and ranged attacks.
Mastery: Rage, Rally, Bolster

"A philosopher by the name of Tzvetan Todorov said, 'We should not simply be fighting evil in the name of good, but struggling against the certainties of people who claim always to know where good and evil are to be found.' I think that's the most important job of a hero."

OOC: My main, who manipulates spiritual energy and his own soul to fuel his powers. Melee is always my style, though I like running some support too so I'll try swapping him to Bodyguard when it's available. Taught by his adopted mom to fight, being a retired hero herself. He's a sophomore in Ephesus U and the son of late supervillain trying to find his own way.

Stalwart

Name: Not sure yet, real name Carmine, but will have a secret identity, unlike Asher.
Movement: Flight
Primary: Invulnerability or Grit
Secondary: Super Strength
Tertiary: Fighting Prowess
Mastery: Maybe Living Target

"He's going to pay for what his father did to mine."

OOC: Villainess, real spoiled brat type who's quite proud of her physical ability even before she had powers. I haven't played a tank type in forever, but when I thought of her personality, Stalwart with some offensive power, but mostly wants to be the center of attention, the archetype just clicked.

Operator

Name: The Skull Wytch (retired)
Movement: Flight and/or Teleportation
Primary: Illusions
Secondary: ???
Tertiary: Ranged offense
Mastery: ???

"I'm not in that line of work anymore, but if you want a few pointers..."

OOC: Honestly just an excuse to cross out two items on the to do list at once. 1) Play with the Operator archetype and 2) Make a sexy witch, she may even get a broom. She's going to be a background character in our group's rp, a retired villain who's managed to get out of that life and live comfortably in a life of leisure. Which was the entire reason she got into a life of crime to begin with. Due to her connection to some other characters, she's more likely to be a mentor to young heroes.

Finally for now:

Guardian

Name: Merric Erstman "The Lawyer"
Movement: Teleportation (saves the firm on transportation costs)
Primary: Strategy
Secondary: ???
Tertiary: ???
Mastery: Balance

"There is the law, and then there is justice. Guess which side I'm on.", "I am one hell of a lawyer.", "I rest my case."

OOC: Also for playing with another archetype and roleplaying more than going through most of the game. The guy is as Lawful Neutral as they come, to use a classic DnD alignment. I'm hoping his main prop can be a briefcase. :)
