Ive won a few contests before, most of the time im completely oblivious and people have to tell me. for instance, I was completely doubting my winning, but looking to STEAL from the winner, but suprisingly won 3rd place. What threw me off was the wonder from down under....My char. from the phillipines. But, i didnt hold it against him. Then there was the time when i was involved in maybe the longest, most organized CC EVER!! It was four judges in AP city hall, and a line down the stairs to atleast M.A.G.I. Surprisingly, everybody stayed in line. There was much Jibba jabba. The judges would hold up signs, and a magic 8 ball would tally the scores. I had not won, but i thought i did. And thus the "Stand close to the winner" trick was born!! If the judge is nice enough, he'll let you keep the prize. For some reason...I win alot actually...Odd. Oh oh, dont let forget about the time, i declared a "Bad-Costume contest" The prize went to the guy with the worst costume. No one did anything. So i gave up. About ten minutes later, i see a message in brodcast: Terrible costume contest, who has the worst costume!!" I Was infuriated. So i let him have it. But no one believed me...I will never forgive that guy.

I put a paragraph about costume contests in my guide. I think you guys should read it. Wait, ill post it right here.
COSTUME CONTEST
One of the biggest elements of city of heroes. Even in virtue, the unnoficial RP server, has almost daily costume contests. The prizes for costume contest are always alot, and there are always the scandals of a heroine picking the female who just HAPPENS to be in the same SG as the judge. Females often win, but there are the tims when a contest has a male and female, grand prize winner. Theres an old trick to get money during a costume contest, that works sometimes. While the winner is about to get their prize, satnd obscurely close to the winner. Hopefully, the judge will accidentally trade iwth you, giving you the prize! Run away fast, FAST! and ignore any tells if you dont wanna have to give back the money. The saddest part of these contests is the fact the winner often spends the inf on what?........THEIR COSTUME. -

This was a just an idea at first, But ive decided to bring it to the forums. Even if im not a very good writer, it seems like a good story to me.
Chapter 1
Things had been quiet in the Cold Front headquarters; only a few heroes were there. These 2 heroes were SumGyadruBlueX, and The Awesome Xyfen. BlueX was a large man who had survived the rikti invasion, among other things. He was a founder of the popular Super Group Cold Front. He was one of the few surviving products of project spectrum. He was dressed in a blue t-shirt, which matched his long, pony-tailed hair; the most distinctive thing about his casual clothes was his large robotic arm.
Xyfen was a current member of cold front. Everyone that knew him called him Xy. But, his real name was Kenny and few people knew that. He was also wearing his casual clothes. His green jacket matched his hero costume. There wasnt much to him except his tan Philippine skin. They were the only two humans in the club at the time. The other two were Robots The one who didnt mind being called a robot, was Ol Big Gun, Xyfens creation. Big Gun was made from various parts, he didnt have a very good voice, it was just a speak and spell. It had a brain of its own, but he still took any command from the proper hero. The other was Prototype Blue, a strict, state of the art Robot. He was much more functional than Big Gun, in that all Big gun had to protect himself was, well . A really big gun. The two men were sitting down, watching T.V., while Big Gun made drinks. Prototype Blue was reading a book at the time. The TV was set to the paragon news at 6. Xy and BlueX were watching diligently. It was because, tonight, they would be showing Cold Fronts rescue of a former paragon police officer.
Today we bring you footage of members of the Superhero association, Cod Front. As you can see, they have rescued one Dennis Hertz from impending Doom. It seems Hertz had been strapped to the tracks of a yellow line, by an unknown villain. We thank these Heroes for saving another life.
Check it out Blue, thats me and Big Gun unwrapping those steel bracelets. What were you doin again? Asked Xy.
I was stopping the train with the help of Prototype. BlueX replied.
Yeah well .
Mr. Hertz was sent home to recover from shock, as it seems. However, he has been reported as missing since his return home.
Missing? Thats odd. Prototype? -
Yes, General Blue.
Do you remember the address of Dennis Hertz?
Yes I do.
Xy BlueX got up and put on his coat.
Aaaaw do we have to go somewhere?
Yes!
But I just got comfortable!!
COME ON!!
Before they left, Xy had to lock the doors. They found the base by chance. One day, a few of the members were running from Vahzilock, and stumbled across an open door. It led to a warehouse, which was a perfect hideout. They had all gotten there quickly. BlueX tried knocking.
Hello? This is General Sumgyadru BlueX.! He knocked again.
Hello? Xyfen pushed BlueX aside.
Big gun, if you would
Ok Big gun pulled out his gun and blasted a hole in the door. Xyfen reached up in it, and opened the door.
That was completely unnecessary Said Prototype.
It worked. Replied big Gun. -
cool, youd be a good addition. BTW im also a houstonian.
-
hey, i wanted to let you guys know. Im taking a shot at writing. Ilike all you guys characters. So tell me if you would like to be included, I know enough about you guys after reading this story. I wont be posting it, im still working on my guide.
-
Thats the truth. For a while i actually had a beard, then i shaved it off.
-
((This might have already been done. I wanna make this thread for people to post their story-like origins, if you dont feel the need to write an entire novel about it, like some. This is just to give a brief story of you))
The truth about Kenny Lebowits.
Hello Boys and girls, if you like tales of magical stuff then.....Why are you even here? I mean really, this is a city of heroes message bored...seriously. Anydangway, You people might know me as xyfen. You might also know me as Sam Austin, Zach Girkikoff, and various other names. Now im stating my actual name, which is: Kenny Lebowits. I have fooled many people over my 2 years as a resident of paragon, for instance:
"Hi, I am Michael, whats your name?"
"Sam, and Im not a troll." He said getting up on his own, "And I coulda took him."
Ok lemme clear sumthin up....I AM NOT REALLY GREEN. That was another one of my cover ups, why? Well, youll find out in a lil bit. Ok, back to the skin, thats oil paint. Oh, and i used to have a tail, FAKE. Why would i be born with a tail? I'm pretty sure theres only a few mutants out there with odd colored skin and a tail, but im not one of them.
Ok then were was i?....Oh yeah. Allright, when i was born, i was suppposed to be a normal girl. But, instead, my parents got a freaky mutant child who could shoot electric bolts from his hands. I was born in the phillipines, and im jewish. Think Rob Shneider. My parents were happy with me, so they raised me well. When i was a teenager, i got an interest in Hip-Hop, which explains all the slang i throw out in private, not during hero work. When i was old enough, I moved out. I decided to head to Rhode Island, because i heard thats where he heroes are. On my way there, I had a run in with the 5th column. Lets just say, they werent happy to see me. After a week of torture, i escaped to paragon. It was there that i changed my name to Sam Austin, painted myself green, grew a beard, shaved it off, and got my heroes licence. It was until, the council took over the 5th column, that i stayed in an act, when they were gone, i did everything my way. Got rid of the tale, washed my skin, and put on my better costume. Now, im a part time bartemder, fulltime hero. I joined a supergroup, made some friends, and now i can be myself. -
I want you guys to tell me if you think i should keep writing, or hand the idea over to a better writer. This just a rough first chapter.
Chapter 1
June 17, 2:34 A.M.
The Chief of Paragons finest was putting his coat on, after a long day of work. He wasnt looking forward to going home and only having a 3-hour sleep. A policemans work was never done. His name was Finnegan, and he was a happy guy. He loved paragon for the helpful company of the heroes. But while he was heading for his car, he saw a mysterious figure. Finnegan had dealt with many of these punks before. He pulled out his gun.
Listen buddy, you picked the wrong night! Finnegan yelled. The mysterious figure chuckled lightly.
Oooh Finny, hehe, you were always such a tough guy. Thats why I chose you.
What? Who are you?
Oh you know me, you let get tortured by those freaks, while you and your donut gobbling minions wrote speeding tickets, letting those goody-two-shoes heroes do all the REAL police work!!
Is that you? Hertz! You should be at home! Whats wrong with your skin? Finnegan could see the figure close up now, in full light. He looked like he was terribly burnt with gray skin. He was only wearing a hood to hide his disfigured face.
Yep! Its me! In whats left of my flesh!! Those freaks did this to me, I couldve ended the pain, but those heroes couldnt bear not to have their precious TV time! Oh, Im better now; Im more powerful than I ever was! Hell I even learned a few new tricks. The Figure grabbed Finnegan by the sides of his head with both hands.
Oh, by the way, its not Hertz anymore . Ive become, The Newt!! Newts fingers started to become slimmer and started to tunnel into Finnegans ears. Then Newts arms tunneled in. Until Newts body had gruesomely split into two parts, which tunneled into corresponding ears. Finnegan remained still for at least 10 minutes. Then, he made a twitch, and looked at his hands. Finnegan had became possessed by Newt. Newts first phase was complete. -

((Why is it that so many RPers are serious and as dry as a plank?
Every RPer i hang out with acts like they had there sence of humor part of the brain destroyed. And everytime I become humourous they call me immature. . I ralize almost every RPers bio includes hardship. Why? Why cant you just be hit by a radioactive beam and be excited everyday you get up and melt the alarm clock. But they always are sad about it.
Im not telling you too be humourous just asking why you feel the need to be so serious?)) -
Hey, cool idea. Im pretty sure all the info you need is in my signature:
what you can not do: He is 100% unserious about hero work. But in a team, if he sees ignorant freeloaders, he lets em have it. Lets just say he makes the best of everything.
P.S. Theres a good phrase i picked up along the way too: No one takes it seriously, until someone dies. I thought it was pretty good, feel free to use it. -
((well its in ur guys hands now, im not posting here anymore. too much confusion. And i dont care if i caused it))

Xyfen ran to the spot where all the CoT flocked in the hollows, to his surprise, they werent there. Xyfen figured to go into one of the portals. He climbed up in the middle portal, under shadow shard. He gave a deep breath, and held up the amulet to the sky. He waited but nothing. nothing happened. When xyfen started to walk away he heard a loud humming noise.
when he turned around he saw the hologram of a giant eye, it looked like an over seer only much larger.
" You bare the amulet, what do you seek?" asked the eye.
"Holy....umm...what is the power of this amulet?"
"It posseses a great power that can give you control over almost anyone. when we invaded your planet one of the generals forgot it, we have been meaning to come back for it."
"there are two down here, whats that about?"
"there was a duplicate made, years ago, that was left also. It is a fake."
"Well...then that means-" Once again he was cut off.
"Found ya troll!" heat storm blasted a firey ray at xyfen. quickly, he put the amulet in the way. It shattered in many pieces.
"IN NOT A TROLL!!!" xyfen yelled.
"Oh..."
"you! you heroes have destroted the amulet!! We will be coming, very soon!" The hologram dissapeared.
"Oh great...." Xyfen said.
"You idiot" said heat storm.
"WHAT?!"
"Why did you show him the amulet?"
"I wanted answers, i thought they wouldnt leave it here on accident!" Said xyfen.
".....i kinda see your point. But what are we gonna do? theyre coming here to earth!"
"Hmmmm....I have an idea."
"So do i." Heat storm and xyfen went to atlas park as quick as possible. They asked if there were any type of space vehicles. They were told of a large ship in Striga Isle that they were given acces to after telling the official of the attacking rullaru.
They made there way back to galaxy where they saw familiar faces, finishing up with the CoT. At the end of the battle, every hero involved in this mishap was summoned by heat storm and xyfen.((heat storm is still in possesion of one of the amulets))
"Allright listen up! Im gonna cut to the chase... this amulet is the rullaru's, and theyre coming to get us for destroying the second one. Were not sure if it was the fake or not. But were gathering up some heroes to fight the coming rullaru" Said xyfen.
"but dont they come from shadow shard?" piped up one hero.
"I dunno, ive never been up there. All i know is that some are coming from another planet.......if you wanna come and fight, step up and say I" -
xyfen had just made it out of the tunnel before it collapsed, only one thing was wrong.
"MY FRICKIN TAIL!!" His tail had gotten caught in a pile of debris. With much pain he pulled it out of the rocks. He was in the hollows now, he had a chance to rest. He sat down and started toexamin the amulet, it was gold with a leather strap. The side was encrusted in blue, pointy diamonds....or at least they looked like diamonds. As he looked closer, he noticed something chiilingly familiar: The diamonds looked like eyes, wide open eyes.
((anybody got an idea what the relation is:
Rullaru))
