[prophet118]

in case anyone is curious, the screen shots come from City of Heroes..lol

Mattox and Mind Rip are both characters i play (on freedom server)

[Jerry D. Grayson]

The characters all look way cool. I like the themes.
It seems like characters are always cooler when they have a theme. It also makes them easier to make.

My favorite so far is Hydrox. Cool use of powers

[prophet118]

i thought ya might like that one....lol

i owe alot to Violet on that one, for the "only can use such and such power when.." clauses

the idea behind Hydrox is less like Hydro man from Spider man, and more like a cross between the T1000 (from terminator 2) and that blob thing from the Abyss

more or less..lol

HI Prophet,

Love the characters especially Fast Ball (I like speedsters). I just have two questions:

1) any chance of posting their backgrounds, I'd be really interested in reading them

2) With City of Heroes do you need to be online to use the character creation software. I've got the chance of getting a copy but as I only have a land line at the moment (no broad band) I don't want to have to log on each time I want to creat an image.

Keep up the good work

J.T.

1.) im working on them, some are easy, like Mattox and Mind Rip, since both are my characters, ive kinda figured out more or less whats going on with them... more or less..lol

i'll do a background thread for this super group soon, i'll see what i can get going, now of course, the stuff would be mutable of course, designed to fit in with whatever you need in your own games

2.) yeh, unfortunately ya have to connect everytime you want to use the character creator... now of course the generator in city of heroes isnt obviously designed to be a RPG tool for table top, but ive found the costume options and graphics to be far superior to Hero Machine (ive used it extensively, its ok, but not the best, i usually have to do major edits to get it to what i want.)

so yes, backgrounds will be up soon, i'll probably post up Mattox and Mind Rip here in a little bit, because they are more or less like 5 sentences a peice.. lol

Mattox's origins are for the most part an unknown oddity, he was found deep below "The City", no one has seen him without his power armor on, leading many to beleive he is either hideous, or simply cannot live outside of it..

Neither are true however, Mattox's true origins may well be shrouded in secrecy, but a few select high ranking officials in the USER know the truth, Mattox was born Matthew Oxford, in 1941. he served in the military and quickly shot up through the lower ranks (he seemed to always fall short of any promotion that would keep him away from infantry combat)

He was MIA and presumed dead in Saigon, however that was to sever all ties to his true identity, Mattox was born October 12th 1968. After several years of testing (and having to watch the conclusion of the Vietnam War from the sidelines) Mattox was Disavowed from the Agency, and left for dead in a stronghold beneath "The City"

All tests showed that Matthew Oxford had gained no enhanced abilities, but in truth, Matthew regretted leaving his fellow men to die, and loathed the agency for making him, so he founds ways to cheat their tests, assuming failure, the agency had left him for dead, but not before setting their bunker to flood with an extremely corrosive acid, by chance, he was found by Fast Ball, who helped him escape, Together they formed the Symbols of Freedom.

(next up, Fast Ball)

[prophet118]

Fast Ball is an identity, pure and simple, Peter Petra created it, at the time he was a struggling painter (mostly surrealism) he could never seem to capture what he saw when he painted.

all that changed one day, when he began painting blind folded, he doesnt know how it happened, but the faster he painted, the more he could see, the quicker his strokes, the better he could see the next one.

a month passed and his portfolio of worked has surpassed a lifetime of paintings, the art community shunned him, proclaiming him a fraud, in truth his work was brilliant they said, but in one short month he had created 167 "Brilliant Peices" there was no way humanly possible for him to create this work.

that was march 2nd, 1982, Peter has been running ever since, but he still found time to paint, and during one of these speed painting sessions, he had a flash of something different, something elusive, he saw someone in peril, a great behemoth of a man, strapped into some sort of machine.. he managed to find out where this place was, all the while creating an exact likeness of the room.

1 day later he found the bunker, and the man.

(next up, Mind Rip)

[prophet118]

Jacob Tarnour used to be normal.

Mr. Tarnour as he was known then worked for the Bank of America in "The City", he was a highly paid senior bank teller, but that all ended one day, when by fate, a bullet found its way into his heart.

the Bank was being robbed, he reacted as any teller should, by cooperating, but something was different about this robbery, for one, the lead robber was a 6 foot tall wolf (later to be identified as War Dog (as chimerean discovered in the frozen wastes of Northern Canada)), something seemed to aggravate this creature something about Jacob bothered him, so without hestitation, War Dog shot him point blank in the chest... putting an end to that feeling, for a few minutes.

something extraordinary happened, Jacob felt his body lift off of the floor, and his mind stretch out, as if unfolding a long underused muscle, War Dog and his lackeys shortly found themselves fighting amongst themselves, within a few months, only War Dog remained, extremely confused, but also extremely terrified...

Jacob felt himself collapse, then some time later he feels something gently rousing him, opening his eyes he sees his wife, Molly, behind her are a few men in official looking suits... the non descript kind.....

(feel free to continue Jacobs story from here, in City of Heroes, the men he meets are part of the Super Group he was in at the time, but they could easily be USER, or atlanteans, or chimerans (not too likely of course) or Elohim (not likely to be black october though))

i'll get the others up as quick as i can

[prophet118]
