    Cool tiger head. And pawed feet. I won't be using any of the photo-realistic animal heads or anything, but if there are over 60 parts I'll be able to find use for something. If nothing else I want it for the beast run so my monkeygirl can run around on all fours for laughs.
    Not till the 23rd, sadly -_-

    Actually, if you look at the allignment emote picture and the wider shots in the video, it seems that one is wearing long white flares with the new cheetah pattern on. Why? Iunno. Probably just to show off the pattern on other, older parts too.

    HELL FREAKING /JRANGER NO!!

    With us being able to make more animal toons they should make a group of animal baddies.
    They really need to upgrade the Warwolves with the new head and tail. The current ones look bloody awful.

    That's been happening a lot, recently They seem to use Arbiters in quite a few tip missions, and they take the powers and stats of Bane Spider Executioners. However, that seems to have leeked over, meaning you sometimes see them in regular missions and other places.

    T'be honest, I think theres plenty of people, Hero or Villain, who would happily flip Recluse the bird by beating up his Arbiters

    Does that female torso have defined muscles on it?
    If so, I know a certain Mr Tow who will be rather happy, even if it's only the start of something
  10. I like the way Thor sounded, personally. If it had been too 'Thon and thine' and all that it woulda got a tad...I dunno...overcooked, IMO.

    It can't seem to decide wether it hates non-Admin more or Admin mode more
  13. Woh...sixty parts is still big.
    Pity the picture they used had NONE of the new parts in, it's just the current junk we have atm

    Twenty third? TWINTY THIRD?! How am I meant to live that long, damnit?! KAAAAHHHHHNNNN!!

    And hey, I didn't say I agree with everything the fandom does. It's like some regular family that is constantly trying to forget the Hillbilly cousins that live far out and subside off of beer, beer, dead bear and 'keeping it in the family'

    The Ninety of the Night Comes to Paragon


    Most if not all readers will know of the Nuclear Ninety, Ninety children born around the world in the same year, all of which had natural magnetic nuclear fusion reactors for hearts. All of the Ninety have some form of super power granted by these potent mutations, the most common including (but not limited to) flight, incredible strength and resilience, and potent energy manipulation abilities. The most well known of them in Paragon are probably Vanguard Operative Fusionette (also considered one of the most unlucky Ninety members by many), and Canadian Heroine Starjet.

    So it might come as a surprise to find one member of the Ninety, until now relatively unknown both within and outside the US, has some rather different tricks up her sleeve.

    Annabelle Featherwick, 20, was open with both her name and identity, citing the fact she was an orphan and already rather easy to identify as reasons for her lack of concern over security. This reporter had to admit, she had a point; fairly tall at around six foot, with neat shoulder length brown hair, a very well kept figure and a striking black mark around her left eye which was in turn covered with an eye patch, it would be hard to miss the woman who has come to light as the 'Midnight Nova'.

    And, while other members of the Ninety wield varying and various levels of energy manipulation, Miss Featherwicks abilities seem to have an altogether darker twist to them, in a rather literal sense.
    "There are others who use the energy of the place commonly known as 'The Netherworlds'," she explained, demonstrating her abilities by cloaking an entire arm in dark matter with but a flex, and banishing it just as easily. "Through past events, I've ended up being something of a living conduit for neg-energy from there."

    When pressed on said past events, Miss Featherwick was elusive.
    "I'm not the only person who didn't have a fantastic childhood, lets put it that way. It left a few marks, I'll admit," she added while a hand strayed to the eyepatch and the stark black, star-shaped mark that seemed to be emblazoned around her eye, "All that matters now is that I can know that is all over, and I can start working to make sure other kids, and other families, don't have to go through the same thing. That's a promise I intend to keep."

    It seems that even the shadows are no longer safe for wrong-doers, as the now public Midnight Nova sets to work aiding the Heroes of Paragon in making our city, and our world, a better place.

    Dark Angel or Darker Demon?


    Everyone knows the Nuclear 90. With big names like 'Suicidette' Fusionette and the blond canuck bombshell Starjet amongst there number, only someone living under a rock wouldn't have heard of them.

    So why has it taken the most recently announced member, one Annabelle Featherwick, who goes by the monkier 'Midnight Nova', so long to come to light?
    Well, maybe it's because the Midnight 90 has something to hide?

    While others make do with powers from the strange 'fusion reactor' hearts that is the trait of the 90, Miss Featherwick deals in a whole different brand of crime fighting. 'Midnight' seems an appropriate description, when you learn that her powers come from the shadowy realm known collective as the 'Netherworlds'. An already sinister place that holds God-knows-what manner of horrors and darkness, and a place that many notable Villains seem to draw their powers, it seems strange for a member of the N90 to delve into using it.

    At least she doesn't look like one. Around six foot tall and with curves to die for, the Midnight Nova costume certainly seems to play to Featherwicks body-type. Criminals are as likely to be distracted by the key-sheer mesh circle as they by any calls to justice.



    The eyepatch and strange star mark draw even more questions, however. Is it merely a tatoo? A hidden wound earned while fighting crime? Or dies the nickname that city criminals have already attributed to her, 'The Star of Wrath' or simply 'Wrath', have anything to do with it? When mentioning she is a 'conduit to the Netherworlds', this paper has to wonder just how in control of that power Miss Featherwick is, or if the reverse could be equally true?

    Only time will tell wether the dark has angels, or it's own agenda to play out.

    Yeah, that worked. However, as soon as I don't run it as the admin, I get it popping up again sating 'A previous update has not been applied properly!' despite the fact it clearly has =/

    Confused much.

    Bazurka waaage!!

    You do that.
    I will be on the Dark/Dark Scrapper that got down to a sliver of health, and then hit [Dark Regeneration] and [Dark Consumption], before promptly massacreing everything stupid enough to be standing nearby.
    Nearby meaning the mission map/zone.

    C-C-C-Combo Kill!

    But yes, the level up rampage tastes of Win.

    Funnily enough, we were having this exact same discussion on one of our channels in-game.
    Technically, 'Catigirls' as in the oft scantily clad women from anime and manga aren't, technically, anthromorphs. That is, a non-human object or entity given human characteristics, I.E. a wolf walking on it's hind legs, having hair and expressions like a human and being able to speak.

    Catgirls, on the other hand, are already human. They look human with cat parts stuck on already. Technically, that'd make them zoomorphic characters, an entirely different subsect.
    So...if you lump catgirls in with furrys, you'd also need to include werewolves (lycan/therianthropes), because they are two entirely seperate things from anthromophs.

    Also, I agree saying 'a whole server of catgirls' is grossly over-exagerated, by whatever measure you are using.


    P.S. Yes, I realise I just went all technical and nerdy about all that. Whatcha gonna do? Sue me?
  19. @Furio; No, but 'the ammount of Furry adoration' isn't exaclty a phrase used by a person with much tolerence now, is it? Theres not exactly any 'adoration' going on anywhere. Unless I missed something.

    Do you honestly have any idea what the term means or where it came from?
    Or are you just another pig-ignorant internet-taught hater who thinks that its cool to hate on certain people because everyone else does?

    Honestly, its the sheer bloody stupidity and ignorance on the net and even on these boards that distubs me...
  21. Ugh, keep getting the 'A recently updated pack has not been applied' thing at boot up. I seemed to get the mini-fix that was posted a day or so ago twice, which might be causing something whacky.

    Not an A grade problem, but it is mildly irritating everytime I boot up to have to let it fix itself everytime.

    Patience is a virtue and the longer it takes the cooler it'll be.
    I'd agree, were it not clearly ready enough for them to have released, or at least uploaded, the Shop Image for the pack (since modded from this and the other thread)

    Which also bamboozles me greatly.
    Players: Hey guys, look at this! This pack is going to be so coool!
    Marketting: ARGHARGHARGH we didnt show you that, its not on our schedule, did we say you could see that! *snatch away* PUNY HUMANS!
    Players: ....wha?

    At least thats as much sense as it makes to me.

    And hey, who you calling childish, you meatsack!
