Now that City of Titans is starting to take off and new characters and toons are forming in your head what was the
First hero that you ever created in city of heroes??
Mine was a mind/force field controller named Mind-Eraser .

1st Character Created ??
Mine was an electric/electric blaster called Countershock
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
I always messed up my names...
my 1st character was a controller and named Necromancer, but was an Ice/Empathy (not Dark). :/
I had a blaster names Lightning Bolt, who was an Energy/Energy. I always had people ask why didn't my toon have Electricity. I was thinking of re-rolling, but Energy was so fun, i never got around to it. :(
And let me guess- when you made a fire/fire scrapper, you called him [i]"Ice Shield."[/i]

No... i called her "Miss Givings", or was it "Miss Teary Us".
No wait, it was "Miss Be Having". ;D Hmm.. thats not a bad name for a Blades scrapper. you know... Having things in Half! Get it.. Having! Half'ing! ;)
Lol I know what you mean so many bad name choices back then but now with all these different power sets and combos it's hard to think of a name related to your powers now
My first was my namesake INTERDICTOR - a FF/EB Defender.
My first was an Inv/EM tank. I wanted to name him Syntaxerror37, but at the time that was one character too long and Syntaxerror was taken on Infinity so he was syntax19050 for several years.
-----------------------------------------
I never set anything on fire accidentally!
The Titan Legacy - Defender of the Inner Flame
i dont recall my first, but i do recall my favorite. It was stone/stone tanker with the bull head, named Terrabull.
Doctor Megaton... because the name "Megaton" was taken on Virtue. He was a Rad/Rad Defender damage specced. What people later called "Offenders"--and back when you could six-slot for damage and get your recharge an accuracy from other powers. It worked quite well. Still a decent healer in a pinch, too.
I met Virtue's Megaton one time during a busy day at the Talos tram, and I asked him the question in Local Chat: "Hey! Do you know WHY my name is DOCTOR Megaton?"
To which he replied "No."
"BECAUSE I COULDN'T #*@&%$&@T#G@#(%& GET MEGATON, THAT'S WHY!!!"
Which he took in the right spirit and there were LOL's all around.

[img]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/26.jpg[/img]
First character? Why it was the precursor to the great one himself! A Dark/Dark Corrupter (STILL my favorite AT) named Morticun who wore full chitin armor and would massacre the snakes on the Rogue Islands. Then I saw the Energy set and was like "HOLY SHIT!" and rerolled to Energy/Dark .. and before long, THE NIGHTMARE WAS BORN
[B]Revenge is motivation enough. At least it's honest...[/B]
Roleplayer; Esteemed Villain
[img]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/5.jpg[/img]
The first character was a Marine Vet who lost a leg in combat in Afghanistan. When he got home he started to fight the war on crime at home. A less brutal Punisher type named Mr. Blackthorn.
-------------------------------------------
Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP
I was a young kid and didn't know RP yet but I made a tank stone armor and mace combo. He was a huge body knight with blue flame designs just cause they were cooool. Think I named him something Black Knight
As for Cov, I made Harlequin'. Crazy joker type villain but he was a pure brute cause the child me just wanted to bash! Cool costume looking back at it...I miss you CoH *sob*
May the wings of liberty never lose a feather
Now I have to tell on my son. He was 8 years old and his very first Character was... Big Bad Cat! A HUGE grey... cat-man? with an equally huge broad sword. And I think some kind of crown or something, if I remember right.
I was so proud.
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
I remember when pvp first started in COH it was always fun when I saw a broadsword coming at me . Ahhhhhhh !!!!!!
Shadow Jet - dark / super reflexes scrapper
-AlienMafia (Justice Server)
Main: Thorns 13xx Badges
That...Has to be the greatest thing I ever heard...Kids imaginations are so pure and awesome. No need to justify a cat-person wielding a broadsword. We need more comics like that (Axe Cop is the only one that comes to mind)
Hey you're chars looks pretty cool too Empyrean. One looks like a great Jim Starlin tribute and I always appreciate a good Thing. So a big *Thumbs up*
May the wings of liberty never lose a feather
Thanks! Yeah, my two mains were a "man-become-near-god" Starlin-style cosmic guy, and a "guy who became a big strong monster" a la Kirbys Thing. Those are two of my favorite type of classic hero themes.
My son and I played together for almost 8 years, and I raised him on a steady diet of trade re-issues of classic stuff like the Phoenix Saga, Moore's Swamp Thing, Kirbys FF and New Gods, etc.
My wife (who started playing much later) and son ask me about once a week how this game is coming along. CoH really left a hole. We tried Champs and DCUO and even Secret World (which is an awesome game in it's own way), but nothing did it.
Everything I hear about CoT makes me feel like this will be it. So excited.
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
My first was a fire/WP scrapper named Consultant...and I played him to the end. With 50 others on four servers, but he was first. I liked all of the archetypes on COH, but in that game, I was always very comfortable as a scrapper or brute.
i know i can't wait to see what is lined up for the future of city of titans and as much as we are excited im sure the devs are dying to tell us what they are working on but just cant yet
You sir are the greatest dad! That's a healthy comic book diet for a young mind. I was very lucky to have read Kirby's and Stan's early stuff due to the masterpiece reprints when I was youngin, must have been the bright colors or the dramatic style text but I felt like nothing ever came close to that kind of magic. Dr Doom's first appearance and the Avengers 1st issue still holds up for me as great stories.
You gonna introduce him to grant morrison in his teen years?
May the wings of liberty never lose a feather
I'll give you all a hint. Here is the text from the pages of the back-up feature in which that character first appeared (before getting her own comic book, which was drawn by the legendary Simon Kirby):
[Run your cursor between "Impervium" and the exclamation mark if you *absolutely* need a spoiler!]

Electric/Storm defender named Shiantar Frost lol that was where that toon was born *sniff* and I carry her now still.
Though she has had some modifications :P
Shiantar Frost
'The Ice Queen'- Keeper of Winter
My son introduced me to CoH when he was in college. got to play with him and his friends while miles apart. My first attempt was a mutant claw/wp scraper in leathers and a full face helmet done in black and red with stars and slash marks. Stars and Scars
I started out Redside (after some friends gifted me a copy of CoV). My first ever toon was a SS/Invul Brute named Total Violence. It was my first MMO and I wanted things as simple as possible starting out.
I remember when Star Wars was cool...a long, long time ago...
I remember making a Earth/earth tank as my first char I only really got to play him for like an hour on my dads account, I'm kind-of surprised I remember him. However the first character I made after starting to play proper was a Storm/electric Defender with a name Im too embarrassed to say. Both those characters had such terrible names.
Good is not something you are, its something you do.
Ah the good ole names lol at least you have the memories Pbuckley :)
Titan, a Invul/SS Tanker from when i played PnP champions. Of course that was taken as well as "T1tan", "Tit4n", AND "T1t4n" so i ran around with the name "Tightan" XD good times, though happy that wont be an issue in this game ;-)
My first was a fire/fire blaster with that crazy "metal" outfit if you recall. Got to 7, had 3-slotted hover for speed (20 was sooooooooo far away). Name was Firenza IIRC.
Son made a tank, huge and purple, named "The Wreckoning", points for clever.

The very existence of the taunting tank irritates, for it requires idiotic AI that obeys the taunt.
My first character was Amethystine, invul/mace tanker, created early July 2004, level 8 at shutdown, unplayed for thousands of days. Back in the early days we didn't have the numbers without doing some serious forum diving, so given the choice between a toggle to protect me v S/L or a passive , I chose the one that didn't cause me to run out of endurance, and wondered why I kept dying.
My first serious characters, Ms. Blizzard ice/storm troller, TheoPWildebeest nrg/nrg blaster and Mr Minotaur stone/axe tank were created soon after and all hit 50 in Jan 05.

My first was my former namesake, Blackjak. He was a ninja/ninja stalker (IIRC) to try to fit a Spider-man like melee powerset. He's still my user name on Titan and was my CoX board username as well. His costume was very inspired by Union jack costume wise with a black Union Jack (close as I could get with straps) on blue outfit.
You can probably guess from the spelling that Blackjack (with a C) was already (no surprise) taken. I had no idea what the different servers were like at the time so I chose Champion because I liked the name. I later moved on to almost all the servers with at least one character, but found an RP home on Virtue, but he stayed on Champion with a couple of other toons til the end.

My first is my names sake, a martial arts regen scrapper. With the crazy ways you had to get names tho I think it was spelled out something like camikazee, Gambit with the trench coat inspired outfit, and with hitting the soft cap for regen and perma instant healing, he didn't lay dow to easily. My first toon my first 50 and the toon I was playin when the servers went off. I miss the hell outta that toon, can't wait to remake him in got.
"Gotcha!"
I know I had perma recovery and reg aura with perma adrenaline boost on my defender blasters loved me we'll just about anyone did with unlimited end and regen lol
What a coincidence, my very first hero was also a MA/Regen Scrapper! I played him all the way to 50, but he sat unplayed for years thereafter. I eventually rerolled him as a MA/SR Stalker, and I couldn't have been happier with him after that.
I had quite a few "main" heroes, but my most memorable was probably my BS/WP Scrapper. He was a [i]flying[/i] Scrapper. There was nothing like swooping into combat on the glorious wings of an otherworldly angel, sword in hand, to deliver steel-edged justice.
My first toon was a blaster, redside, energy blasts and dark if i remember right. Named Chthonios.
My favourite though came later, Criminus (shown in picture), a super strength/WP brute.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Same but named Electrik Boi. :)
He wasn't my first 50, but I did finally make it.
Painful in the early game, he was a blast (pun intended) at higher levels when I made him into a sapper/blapper.
"I don't think you understand the gravity of your situation."
The very first character I made was on my housemate's account - a spines/regen(?) scrapper. I had never played an MMO before, but I was hooked on this right from the start. He kicked me off his computer and I made an Empathy/Energy Defender - Mr Mighty, on my own account.
Which is how I discovered my graphics card was a piece of junk. Housemate kept telling me how bad my costume looked. I thought it was awesome... until I saw it on his monitor. He was right, it was an eyesore.
It's interesting (to me) that the first character I created was a scrapper, and I loved the game, but I never got any melee character past level 30. Well not a 'proper' melee character.
American Dreamgirl, (originally "ADG", since "American Dreamgirl" was too long at launch)
she believed she as an unacknowledged (bastard) grandchild of Marcus Cole... had a heated rivalry with Lady Liberty, and was driven to prove she was worthy of Statesman's attention.
She was the Leader of the pre-launch team "The Patriettes"... that didn't really survive launch.
she was a tank, and I never enjoyed playing her...
after COV launched, I made her a Brute, tweaked her origin a little (bitter at being ignored by Statesman, she joined up with his arch nemesis, and wanting to beat Libby to a bloody pulp [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs18/i/2007/188/6/b/Ms__Liberty_has_a_bad_day_WIP_by_fuzzywuzzywombat.jpg[/img])
I LOVED her as a brute, and have every intention of making something like her in Titans

I think my first toon and my first 50 was a Dualblade/Regen scrapper named Tiger Kai. He started out in a black and grey tiger-striped ninja outfit. He gradually changed to orange and black as he became a more established (higher level) hero.
Mayan Warbird was my first SS/Inv tank. Scion of an old mexican family who is granted his magical powers while studying on the Yucatan peninsula.
Captain Combustion came soon after as a straight up Fire/Fire blaster. Result of a terrible research accident caused by the skulls breaking into his lab. Tragic really.
My habit in the early days was to build very conventional AT's and learn how to play them before I got into the more esoteric builds.
Well with a name like that, I'd expect he'd be a catman! :)
I made a broadsword character as my first, although the rest of the story is kind of opposite. I'd been making characters for several years already when City of Heroes came out (like a lot of players), but I wanted something original and new for City of Heroes. (Like a lot of players, I'm sure.)
When I dug into the amazing character creator, I noticed immediately that you could make all kinds of heroes influenced by the fantasy era MMO's. So I decided to make a character that felt like a classic rogue, but a character with a super hero appeal to him. I figured I would start by making a bridge from the fantasy era MMO to this new pool of super hero MMO's which is what City of Heroes felt like to me, even then.
I ended up going with a broadsword/ super reflexes scapper named Sebastian Dash, a natural themed hero. (Magic in beta, but revised in live.) Natural themed, basic human. (I hadn't realized Sebastian was such a common name for cats. :) )
I chose it because it struck me as a name that'd be suitable for an old school fantasy RPG but still fit the modern era.
Dash was partly to sound heroic, and partly because it was one of the 5 pre order prestige sprint powers (Although not the pre order power I got. I got swift, but decided Dash sounded better. Plus I didn't want to be too obvious.)
I'll probably do the same with the new game, go through and try to come up with the most fitting first concept for the new game that I can come up with. Later on, I'll probably go through and re-imagine some of my other heroes, probably with new names, for the new game as well.
It sounds like it is going to be a load of fun!

My first toon was a Broadsword/Regeneration Scrapper named Astemus. At the time, BS/Regen was considered awesome, but I just wasn't an awesome enough player to make it work. Eventually, I deleted him to make room for another - this was before extra character slots on a server were available.
My Second was a Fire/Fire Tanker named Flamelocke and I still had him at closure.
My Third was Black Valkyrie, a D4. Art forum visitors may be familiar with her.
Hmm, maybe I should put up the last iteration of Flamelocke there...
Be Well!
Fireheart
My first character was Omega Girl, energy/energy blaster and to this day still the one I look back on most fondly. My first villain was Wicked Rose, plant and thorn dominator and my homage to Poison Ivy who is one of my favorite comic book villains. I so miss all my CoH/V friends and am hoping they will come back when CoT rises from the ashes.
My first was an AR something blaster and boy did I suck at playing him, so he wasn't very memorable, obviously. He was deleted before he hit 12 I think. I don't know who I made after that...

Mine was a FF/Rad Defender named Crickitt. Have no idea why I picked that combo. In fact, I had no idea what I was doing overall.
Mine was / is an Elec / Elec Blaster - still my main today! Fusion Reacta
Her costume started off with neon blue rubber jumpsuit with the big yellow lightning bolts all over, big hair, normal skin and the massive science visor and ended up like in my forum Avatar :)
She went though many incarnations and builds, I spent a long time spec locked as I'd used all of the ones I could earn so I re-rolled her with the exact same spec just to get more respec unlocks! (Thank god for veteran rewards later on! :D )
Her final version - once side switching was implemented she ended up Elec / Elec / NRG a L/S def capped blapper that was almost unstoppable :D I found myself playing her almost exclusively even though I had 20 other alts rotting away :s
Fun times :)

Anxiously awaiting the return of EUROCORE!
My first was Quantum G, a grav/bubbler, the only char I took to 50 and likely to be my first CoT char. Although I also had a robot ninja named Der Stuttgarter (he had escaped from the Daimler/Benz factory if I remember correctly.)
Big smiles.
stutt
i really need a sig and an avatar
With great power, comes the need for great heat sinks
My first was a Claws/SR scrapper named GRETA-001 and known by her friends as Greta. GRETA stood for Genetically Resequenced and Engineered for Tactical Assault. She will almost certainly be reborn in some form in CoT.
This is her final build, never fully achieved before sunset, soft capped, passive regen 32 hp/sec and over 2100 health there was pretty much nothing she wouldn't dive headfirst into. Had nearly as much fun creating her (and my other characters) numerous builds in Mids' as I did playing her for around 3500 hours.

I miss dinkering with Mids builds :(
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
Nice Build. ;D
I'd probably miss it ... if I actually stopped :p I stroll down memory lane now and then by dinkering with character builds. Sometimes by visiting old characters, sometimes creating one that will only ever see the light of day if one of the efforts to bring back CoX succeed.
Claws/Dark Armor Scrapper named Pale Blood.
My first toon was a stone/stone tank named brichouse. My main was a thugs/poison MM named moll.
Electric/Electric Blaster named BluePulse. Possibly my least-favorite character I ever got to 50, and he always felt squishy and weak, even at 50+3. (Even though I made him first, he was one of the last characters I ever got to 50, only a couple of days before shutdown) He was loosely based on one of my FFRP characters, but he really should have been a Scrapper to better match both the personality and survivability of the FFRP character in question.
My second-ever character was a Bots/Storm Mastermind named Dr. Bodog, based loosely on Dr. Sivana from Captain "Shazam" Marvel comics. My favorite Mastermind, despite making several others. I can't remember whether he was my second or third character to make it to 50.
My third character was an Electric/Invulnerability Brute named Thunder Glove, based even more loosely on Black Adam from those same comics. (He was going to be straight-up SS/Inv, but then I saw Robot Arm 3, and decided to make him a cyborg who channeled electricity through his metal fists. The "Glove" part of his name was inspired by the Bionic Six villain Glove) He was my first to 50, and remained one of my favorite characters until the game closed (hence, the forum name).
I started when CoV came out. First toon was a rad/rad corr named Omni Lord
First on blueside was a dark/dark scrapper named Vitalis Infinitus (see his picture to the left) I played both until the end.
They also serve, who only stand and wait.
The first CoH/V toon I created? A Bots/FF Mastermind named HornetsNest... hmmm
My favorite Mastermind was the Ninja/Dark 7th of 7
I alted so much blue side I can't even remember what my first hero was
Lay your hands on me
While I'm bleeding dry
Break on through blue skies
And take it high
I have always found it very strange when people say they have 1 lvl 50. Am I the odd guy that lost count somewhere around 50+?. Yes, 50 level 50's, give or take. Leveling was never a problem, many times I shut the counter off (we used to be able to do that, right?) and debt meant nothing. I would even take the free trials, both 10 and 14 day, and get to 50 on both sides and sell them. I was rather pissed at NC$oft at the time and I needed the money...
^ The dude you quoted hasn't logged onto these forums in over 2 years, and until now this thread head been dead for over 3.
Necromancy is real!
...and your point? Seems like there are damned few posts at all, you know what I mean? Plus you missed that's it's my SECOND POST in this thread. Maybe I came back to this because I had something more to say on point and not to belittle someone.....
No belittlement directed to anyone here. Just pointing out facts. Glad you've returned, though! Welcome back.
And on topic: It took me like a year to get my first 50 in City of Heroes, and by the time the game ended I had only around 5, I believe. A couple of them I played like crazy, though.
I was and always will be an Alt-oholic.
Way back when CoH was first made I remember playing an ice/ice tanker, and then I remember not playing him that much. Don't even remember his name just that I tried to make him look kind of like a snowboarder.
not my video just one I lke ===> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-SdIN0hsM
[CENTER][URL=http://www.nodiatis.com/personality.htm][IMG]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/24.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER]
The first character created on my part was a katana/super reflexes scrapper. He did not last long, I don't even remember the name. One I made my first week and never deleted was a stone controller I named the Gingerbreadmancer.He was level 3 until shut down. I wouldn't have a level 50 until a long while after City of Villains was out. In fact I think it was a few months after the Imperious Task Force released, I loved that place. The fact it would grant about a full level was just a bonus, I continued to run it at 50 just because I enjoyed it. By shut down I still only had 2 50's, but Mr.McJigg, my time traveling willpower/street justice tanker who was attempting to get EVERY Ouroboros badge was in the early 40s.
I think my first character was an Emp/Dark defender? Haven't a clue what I named him, but I still vaguely remember his costume... and it was atrocious. Like, striped pants and a strapy top and that terrible "dreadlocks" hairstyle. I have no idea what I was thinking.
I tend to roll and reroll many, many, many times before I find something I like, so he didn't last very long.
My first alt was an energy\ice blaster. No idea what I named him but I remember he was all black and red and had alot of the bio-insect looking armor. That was long before I started making characters that had any kind of cohesion between their powers and some kind of theme to their look.
I was in the beta for COH, and I don't remember the first Hero I made...I made so many. There were character wipes and all sorts of BETA goodness.
Making new characters was an utter joy and this started my altaholic habit.

I made an Energy/Ice Blaster, when Ice/Energy Blaster was popular, and I still consider that Energy/Ice Blaster to have had the best battle scene of all my characters ever. I was hopping all over, enemies where chasing, getting knocked around, frozen in place...best action scene was from that combo. :)
Not sure I considered it team friendly :p
I can just picture it. Sounds crazy wonderful. I'm looking forward to similar scenes in CoT!
I made a character who wore a pinstripe baseball uniform, ballcap and swing a baseball bat. He really looked the part. And I can still remember how much I enjoyed watching him swinging that bat and watching the targets' ragdoll bodies fly like line drives.
[hr]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.
