Alright! *cracks knuckles*

Pocket D is a good place to meet other RP'ers, both heroes and villains can go there, it's a neutral place so you don't have to worry about getting attacked. As for being easy to get to, if you have the Good vs Evil version of the game, you get a teleporter that teleports you to Pocket D, useable from level 3, with a recharge of 30 minutes. Otherwise, you can get there from Kings Row (Close to the station), Talos Island (Close to the station) and FOunders Falls hero side, and Port Oakes (Close to the ferry, but you have to run through Mercy to get there first if you're starting out), Sharkhead Isle and St. Martial on villains side.

Regarding the speechbubbles, I'm not sure if you can turn them off for individual channels, to write custom emotes you can use /em , /e or ; followed by your text, which unfortunately appear in thought bubbles above your head, but in the chat window look like:

*I type /e leans on the bar and orders a glass of wine.*
Zortel leans on the bar and orders a glass of wine.

And it'll appear above your head in a thought bubble as:

leans on the bar and orders a glass of wine.

Thanks very much, mate. Hope to see you guys around whenever I'm on.

I'm just asking around about the game, but all things considered would you guys recommend Pocket D's as a good place to meet other RPers? Is it easy to get to and can both heroes and villains go there?

Also, I'm still a bit awkward on the use of chat channels. Is there any way to make it so that channels I'd consider OOC (Global, Team etc.) don't appear in speech bubbles when you write a message in them? Is it possible to write custom emotes (as an example, in WoW you could type something like /me chews on a string of Silverleaf)? How do you get dialogue to appear in thought bubbles (I saw someone do this when they were RPing a "symbiote" (I can guess where he got the idea) with a split personality)?

Joined the game not so long ago, first post here. Just filled out my slots, trying to decide which one to devote the game to.

Global: @Barguest
Server: Union
RP Characters:

Heroes:

Spiritfang (mutation scrapper) - wolf mutant, a bit of a loner and adept with a sword. Has come to Paragon to figure out what to do with his new life.

Lady Shadowstep (normal scrapper) - looks like a ninja and wields a katana. She has no dark past, she fights crime because she discovered she was good at it.

Deadeye Joe (technology blaster) - vigilante obsessed with westerns. He dresses like a cowboy and builds his own guns.

Gigatile (mutation tanker) - a large reptile mutant who swings a dirty big axe. Looks fearsome but is a bit of a gentle giant.

Angel Delight (magic defender) - daughter of a parson, a very sweet woman who just wants to help people.

Psyche-out (science controller) - perfected a serum to give her great psychic powers, but which caused her body to start rotting away. Covers up her zombie-like body with a lot of robes.


Villains:

Barguest (science brute) - a vicious dog mutant. Hates heroes intensely, seeing them as tools of the government who experimented on him and "took his freedom".

Steel Magnolia (technology mastermind) - more machine now than man, she believes only the cold, emotionless mind of the machine can guarantee "peace".

Kerabash the Inferno (magic corruptor) - a demon who was pulled through to the mortal plane. Figures that this world would be a nice place to "develop", because Hell's overcrowded.

Veinery (magic dominator) - believes that blood is the key to expanding her power. Has been known to cut herself constantly.

Cheeky Chappy (normal stalker) - petty thief who got busted trying to hit the big banks. Always wears a mask.

Shocklizard (mutation brute) - reptile mutant. Not much is known about her. Doesn't speak English.

Timezone: BST

RP Type: Will always act IC if RPed with. OOC in most channels, but still figuring out which channel's what. I need to practice sending mail and making custom emotes if that's even possible.

When I'm on: I still run a guild on WoW, plus I have real-life projects to pursue, so it's currently on a "as and when I feel like it" basis. Maybe a couple of weekday evenings per week.
