Back story:

Despite being the son of one of Paragon City's many heroes, Terry did not possess any supernatural powers or abilities at birth. While growing up Terry idolized his father and dreamed of fighting alongside him when he was older. In order to achieve his goal and make up for his lack of super powers Terry trained daily in many aspects of hand to hand combat. (Mainly boxing) During Terry's teenage years his goal was about to be realized. His father had invited him to fight alongside him in some of the simpler missions. Under the name The Red Hawk, Terry and his father Gray Sparrow became famous among gang members in Kings Row as a powerful crime fighting duo. However this would not last long. Around a year after having begun fighting crime Terry had become dissatisfied with the idea of remaining nothing more than a sidekick. Having received a tip that a local bank was about to be robbed by Hellions Terry headed off alone in order to prove that he was not just a sidekick but a full fledged hero. Unfortunately upon arrival Terry found that the tip was false, he was not facing a rag-tag group of Hellions robbing a bank but an organized platoon of Arachnos soldiers. Outnumbered and outclassed Terry found himself severely injured after defeating only a few of what seemed like an endless supply of soldiers. Before the final blow was struck a shroud of black fog swept into the bank and clouded Terry's vision as well as that of the Arachnos Soldiers. Using the cover to his advantage Terry rolled out of the way as he heard a familiar voice rise up above the sound of the occasional gunshot.

Seems I got here just in time. You know better than to run off on your own. Now it's time to clean up your mess.

Terry still couldn't see more than a couple of feet ahead of him but he could hear what was going on. The Soldiers were firing randomly as his father began picking them off with his fire blasts. A few minutes and numerous screams and thuds later the dark shroud that had enveloped the bank began to dissipate but Terry could not see his father. Despite his injuries Terry scrambled to his feet and began to look for his father whom he later found on the floor behind a pile of soldiers

Da....I mean Sparrow, are you ok?

Well I'm alive but I'm afraid I can't move my legs. I think one of the bullets they fired off into the darkness managed to hit me in the spine.

Terry fell silent. His actions had left his father paralyzed....it was all his fault but he didn't mean for things to end this way.

Come on now; help old Sparrow back to safety before the media arrives.

Terry kneeled down to allow his father to climb onto his back before fleeing the scene as quick as possible in hopes that if he was quick enough the family doc (A hero himself) would be able to assist his father. However the words that the doctor told his father later that day did not bring comfort but a grief that still hounds Terry to this day.

I'm sorry Greg; these were no ordinary bullets you were hit with. They managed to completely sever your spine in multiple places. You had a good run all these years but I'm afraid it's time to hang up your cowl, focus on enjoying yourself you know. Crime fighting....it's just not for you anymore.

Fraught with grief over the end of his father's career as a hero, Terry promised to both rid Paragon City of crime and to never be put in a situation where someone would have to lose everything to save him. In order to achieve this goal Terry would need more than just raw fighting talent. With his father's permission Terry used his father's DNA to create a serum which if successful would infuse his body with super powers similar to those of his fathers. With nothing to lose Terry injected himself with the serum and awaited the results. A few days later the serum proved to be a success when Terry was able to create a small ball of fire in his palm but there was no sign of any darkness related powers. In order to relieve his frustration and not having a complete set of powers Terry hit the gym where he began laying into his favorite punching bag.

1,2,3

1,2,3

1,2,3.....

The final punch sent the punching bag flying across the gym and left Terry in a state of awe. After consultation with his father he learned that rather than being able to manipulate darkness like his father he had obtained the energy manipulation skills his grandfather had possessed. With his new found powers The Red Hawk was dead and from the ashes rose The Red Phoenix.

~2 years later~

Terry continued to avenge his father under the guise of The Red Phoenix but all was not well. Despite his continued improvement in ranged fire based attacks and close range energy strikes Terry was beginning to notice a decrease in his stamina, even when compared to a few years ago (Terry had switched from a Scrapper to a Blaster). To rectify this problem and to further his effectiveness as a hero Terry, alongside his father and some family friends began development on a technologically sophisticated power suit which promised to help mitigate some of the damage Terry took as well as well equipping him for many different situations.

Suit Details
Visor: 4 Modes, Normal, Binoculars, Thermal and Visual Sonar
Normal: Allows data to be brought up on targets in Terry's Line of Sight.
Binoculars: Same as normal with increased magnification
Thermal: Displays heat signature just like a regular pair of thermal goggles.
Visual Sonar: Uses the antennae on the side of the helmet to emit a high frequency sound wave which is then translated into a visual image once the sound bounces back to the antennae. Similar to thermal but has the advantage of not being blinded by massive heat signatures while also possessing the disadvantage of not being able to detect anything hidden behind solid objects.

Power: Powered by an obscure orange gem located on the chest

Communication: Antennae are also used to pick up communication from a variety of sources including the police radio and other heroes or villains.

AI: The suit comes preloaded with an AI named Phoebe which provides situational analysis and any data that is possessed on various enemies, allies and locations. Phoebe communicates directly through the suit and can only be heard by the one wearing it. Terry communicates with Phoebe through thought. Phoebe also possesses the ability to control the suit by herself should Terry faint during combat.

Voice: The suit can distort Terry's voice if he deems it necessary

Got it to work by selecting a different file to download to then dumping a copy of the EU files in there.

Is there a way to switch from using a EU client to a US client? I've heard that you can simply rename the Updater from the CohUpdater.EU.exe version to CohUpdater.exe but when I try that it keeps asking where I want to install CoH and then says "Error Opening file C:\Program Files\ City of Heroes/CohUpdater.exe"

What is a simple way to switch clients?
