Hi all, while we wait for second chance, what are you character concepts that you are going to build in the AB? I am planning to make a California Raisin Police Officer. In one of the costume demos on you tube a commentor said that one of the test characters looked like a California raisin. Later on when issue 1 comes I am going to make him a ranged dps toon who has ties with the TCPD.
What about you folks?
My main, [url=https://i.imgur.com/7irzffm.png]Scaleback[/url], is only really going to be possible in a character creator like the one that CoT will use. I'm very much looking forward to bringing her into motion, even if she's not one-to-one for her model sheet there. I've found that female characters of this sort are exceedingly rare, which should make me stand out some.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
Awesome! I agree there!
From what I have seen from the videos you def can make anything. I know this is going ahead but, what Arch Type and power set you are going with for Scaleback when combat alpha comes?
My main is pretty generic. No doubt I'll be able to make him, the only question will be what details I can add or might have to change. I have an alt that's a street wizard, I'm very curious to see if I can get him to look right. Power customization will also be key with that one.
To be honest, with all the customization features this game is going to have, it can be daunting for a lot of us for a full character concept. With power customization, the emanation points makes everything more personal for your characters. It will be interesting to see what they offer us in the AB beta. I am def anticipating this a ton!
For Scaleback, I'm currently planning on an Enforcer. She'll be Massive Melee/Invulnerability character, acrobatic for my travel power since that's basically parkour, and for tertiaries my current plan is to go for super senses and something that amps up her regeneration (so she heals, despite primarily being focused on preventing damage in the first place). I'm also planning on picking up the Rage enforcer mastery, so that she builds up momentum as she attacks - Fury is a really fun mechanic in City of Heroes, and Rage sounds like it'll essentially play the same way that Fury does.
It's a pretty loose plan at the moment since I don't have access to the power layout stuff, but that should be an entirely reasonable set of options. Regeneration will shore up the one weakness invulnerability tends to have (that is, you can prevent damage, but you can't recover the health you've lost), Rage should work wonders alongside Massive Melee since MM gets faster and stronger the more momentum you have, Acrobatics is I believe a launch movement power, and Super Senses is something I've talked with people like Tannim about for what kind of things you can theoretically do with it in the final game. All-in-all, she's liable to be strong, tanky, and very fun.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
I'm still not even sure what power sets my street wizard will have. On paper, he should be similar to a Dominator from CoX. His most important powers, thematically, would involve freezing enemies in blocks of ice and blasting them with fire. But if possible, it'd also be nice to fit in some force field powers as well. And some teleportation powers for travel.
Captain Citadel himself is dirt simple, he's like a relatively de-powered Superman. No special ranged attacks or supersensory abilities, just an indestructible flying brick that smashes things with super strength.
Awesome! I like the rage mechanic for you character. It def fits. Regeneration, man she will be nasty! In terms of moral route is she going to be villain, Hero, or Neutral?
For my Police Rasin guy(Still have not got the name down yet) I am planning to go the City of Heroes Praetorian Police route. I was thinking instead of ranger I go operator. My character uses advance technology to subdue foes instead of out right killing them. I have power gauntlets that holds and damages criminals to the point they are defeated and sent to jail. In the previous WIP update, I see they are doing well on the morality missions route. I am thinking when they finally release the quest and faction mechanics, going to align myself with the TCPD and take on Radio Missions if they have. In terms of travel power, I am still at a stand still. My character is more of natural person instead of a super powered human.so still planning travel power route which shouldn't be a issue with Aesthetic decoupling
Scaleback is definitely heroic, morally speaking. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty if she thinks it'll help people, but that's more along the lines of choosing a lesser evil, even if it's slightly staining to her soul (so she'd absolutely kill someone like, say, the Joker, but most villains she'd just put behind bars).
It sounds a lot like your character is going to be like the Praetoria Police in CoH - gauntlets capable of shooting energy with a variety of different modes. For travel power, I'd definitely recommend Acrobatics as your go-to non-super character, since it'll be the most reasonable for someone to be able to do heroic-grade parkour.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
Defintely, I wonder if I can take flight and have a jetpack? He is sort like a sky police officer.
Your Character reminds me a bit of She Hulk. She is awesome character. Are you planning to switch costumes so when she goes into a rage she gets bigger? That would be awesome!
Heh, I'm not. she's always gonna be big and green, and her appearance won't change at all.
A jetpack should be entirely doable, yeah.
An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".
Nice! I cannot wait to see your character. I like the way she is drawn in. Based from what I see from earlier demos of the Avatar Builder you should have no problem making her. For my guy, I have to plan his concept a bit more. I was thinking since we can make asymmetrical portions, I have one of his power gauntlets broken down or malfunction while the other one is in good shape. His name will be "Srgt Grapvine" heh
My heros are pretty Spandex-y so they're pretty good to go. I'd like some more patterns but that's just being picky :p
My villains are largely arcane so I need more robes for them :(

All my heroes fit into two basic categories. "crimefighting in streetclothes" or "power ranger spandex"
Wait until you see the... nope, that would ruin the surprise.
Yeah, there's not enough options yet for me to make my favorite, but I think I can make my other one well enough.

Nice ideas folks! there is going to be a lot of nice character ideas. If the 2nd chance starts before Halloween, it will be nice to have a Halloween costume contest.
Several of my characters combine 'modern' and 'ancient'. I have a liking for long, fancy coats, instead of Capes. Combining clothing and armor. Also, yes, often "fighting crime in street-clothes", or in 'party' clothes. One character wears a leather trenchcoat over nearly naked Fur. Plenty of characters go for the 'spandex-armored bat-suit'. I have one that's a robot and a couple that are 'statues', who go about in the 'altogether'. I made one with a 'spandex' bodysuit made of rugged 'velveteen', it looked like very short fur.

I like the concept Fireheart! It sounds like folk are going to make a lot of cool toons!
Photobucket has gone to the evil.
One of the purposes of clothing, besides keeping the environment off our tender bits, is Pockets!
Be Well!

I mostly try to make batman style villains, modern meets 1930's sort of style, lot's of suits rather than spandex. I never really gave my characters spandex, closest I ever gave them where mechsuits.

By some amazing artists.
And I also have Screenshots of several characters, from the 'old days'. I expect those will assist me in making those characters again, if, by some strange mischance, I should forget them!
It's a bit derivative, but this will be the first character I attempt to recreate once I get my hands on the AB.

Well I can't tell what it's derivative of in under 5s so it's alright :p

I'm pretty sure I've done some teaming with you on Homecoming on either Judge Barbarous or Brutum, Citadel.
Puny Heroes.
Entirely possible! I did a lot of radio missions in Peregrine Island a short while back. Feels good to be recognized :D
Mostly I just meant the fact that my character's color scheme and overall style and theme are very reminiscent of Superman, so some people might call that uninspired or derivative.
Personally, it's better than a spiderman derivative :p As long as his powers aren't greater than minor gods, good in my book.
