The Ritki's contempt for humanity knows no bounds.

Yet sometimes, their most calculated plans and experiments can be used against them:

Adventures of Spiked Venom

I just did the lowest thing a character can do. I left a Frostfire team, right at the very last room.

It was out of frustration and it was very late and I was very tired.

Some idiot scrapper kept sliding right into the middle of the room, aggroing everything and we'd all die.

He did that the first time, we all had to go to hospital, come all the way back and I was yearning for sleep, real sleep.

Then we get all the way back and before I even turn the corner, the idiot scrapper has once again slid right into the middle of the room again and I'm dead in 10 seconds.

Went to hospital and quit pretty much without a word.

Normally, I'd talk it out, try and get a better strategy, but it was so late, I was so tired and I was so cranky, I couldn't help it.

Worst thing I've ever done in my CoH career.

My name is Scorpio Red.

I am the victim of scientific sabotage.

I was an Arachnologist and I believed there was untapped potential in the healing properties of scorpion venom. My work was ridiculed for years, then Harvard University recently made a startling discovery with this:

Scorpion Venom Blocks Bone Loss

My own work on the unique properties of this venom was near completion. I had developed a serum would have aided mankind's fight against the Ritki threat.

Before I could perfect my discovery, I was stabbed in the back. Now that work is lost and all that is left, is my desire for revenge and justice.

I am Scorpio Red and you shall witness my retribution...

Scorpio Red's Journal

I am not an emotional man, as you well know Cap'n. My goodness, there is even some debate as to whether I have any humanity at all.

Despite that, I found this story to be touching.

I often consider myself a pariah and I harp often about the burdens that I bear. Then I read the hardship you went through, all that you have lost and I realize I am not the only one wandering this Earth, with a great burden.

I remain your loyal servant Cap'n. I hope one day we can bring you home, truly, truly home.

It is written for fun, not with any aspirations attached to it.

I appreciate your kind words however! The log has been updated with some thoughts from last night:

Apologies!

Dr. North owns a PhD in Psychiatry, in particular he specializes in the psychiatric analysis of superheroes and the unique psychological and psychiatric impact they have on themselves and ordinary citizens.

His published work on the subject has won many accolades and is considered the leading authority on the subject.

He also has started a charity recently, to help kids who want to leave the Freakshow gang and put their lives back on the straight and narrow.

He is currently dedicated to defeating the Freakshow gang and recently liberated 5 city councillors from brutal kidnapping by the Freakshow.

I have begun to log my adventures.

Comments welcome, thank you.

I am very new to the game (entering week 4), so my comments come from that perspective.

I don't know how possible these things are, but I would like the following:

1. The ability to add a key custom phrase or slogan to the team. A simple key bind would execute it and your character would proclaim it loudly, maybe with a specific movement.

Teen Titans Go!
Justice League, to the rescue!

...are examples of what I mean, from older comics.

2. I'd like additional titles besides the two that exist. The ability to name someone treasurer, events coordinator or whatever would be useful. Indeed, ideally you could create two or three of your own custom titles and bequeath them to members.

3. I'd like additional XP rewards if your team is 4 or more members for a mission and contain all members of a SG. Perhaps a simple check to make sure they have been members for 7 days+ so its not exploited. The XP reward should be minimal, but enough so that it encourages SG play together.

4. I'd like a SG bank account, where members can donate influence to the SG bank and only specific titles can access that and spend it. Also if you are in an all SG team, you should get bonus influence to that account, maybe 5% in addition to what is dispersed to each individual member.

4(b). It would be ideal if SG members could buy ENH and INSP and donate them to the group, and the group would have an inventory of these things, that certain titles could bequeath to members as rewards or to gear up for a big mission.

5. I'd like the ability to see more info about the SG, when I click Info on a character. I should be able to read the bio of the SG he/she belongs to in a separate tab, that could include info on who to contact to inquire about membership.

That's it, those are my ideas. You've created a wonderful game. Congratulations on your success.
