Overall Vindicator Make-over theme: A mischievous rogue psychic/time corruptor has joined with the vindicators and slipped some of the vindicators into a Chrono Shift- but the vindicators got stuck in the past and are now forced to fight crime as their teen/tween selves- but the corruptor has bent their minds back to the state they were in at that age!

The girls of the Vindicators have been reduced to giggling fits, gossip, and shopping trips... Never known to be shy women, photos were captured of them trying on new styles in a local paragon city shopping center...

Vindicator: Aurora

Aurora is keeping a more modest look, though still showing some peeks of her beautiful dark complexion through her shirt's fashionably worn-style.


Vindicator: Ms. Liberty

Always her fashionable and patriotic self, Ms. Liberty still shows her colors while golden accents give her a sense of power among her allies.

Vindicator: Mynx

Always one for DIY and outlandish style, Mynx throws on a spiky collar, heavy eyeliner, and custom Doc Martens to round out her punk-rock-esque look.

Vindicator: Swan

Ever pushing the dresscode limits, Swan dons some spice girl-era patent platforms and a strapless top, keeping it mostly age appropriate.

Vindicator: Valkyrie

Never one to go on shopping sprees with the girls, 'Val' stays close to her roots and dons a lightly armored outfit with winged headband.

Who will save the Vindicators from their silliness and bring them back to reality???

[edit: i seem to have forgotten the butt-shots... guess the ladies were self conscious about it...]

He often plays with his wife and was very wary of getting rid of aid self/other for that reason- but i'll see if I can talk him out of it/ explain rage and oppressive gloom as well.

He somehow didn't have any enhancements up until this point [????] and I'm still not entirely sure he gets it- but I figure if I email him a link to the build and get him to buy all the SO's he needs at least they're all set since he's above lvl 47 already hah.

Again, any help I can get on this is awesome- hard to convince a f2p player to put in $$ for sub if he keeps dying because of his build haha.

I have a friend that plays casually and isn't planning on going VIP anytime soon, but is looking for help with his build- Dark Armor/ Super Strength tank. He's currently lvl 48, so he has complete access to lvl 50 SO's and can +3 all of them in time. I took a small crack at it, trying to focus on status resist and net recovery while still having decent resistance numbers.

I chose not to take Cloak of Fear/ Oppressive Gloom/ Rage, as he is a new player and I don't want to throw harmful powers or debuffs that he won't understand at him. No Hami O's, just SO's for now- maybe the Hami's will come in time, or maybe I'll finally convince him to go VIP and he'll be confused all over again.

I will put a disclaimer that I am NOT a tank player by any means, and that is why I'm reaching out for help here.

Technology. There's just something about robots/ robot AI/superpowers. All of my characters above lvl 40 are Tech, but I have a small sprinkling of Magic/ Mutation in there.
