My greatest accomplishment was not only breaking a year and a half long streak of writers block, but developing a whole new source of creative expression via my videos.

My regret? All the videos that I will now never be able to make.

Agent Tavarisch: Dimension shifting the Hamidon nucleus. Nuff said.

Agent Blake: Soloing Baron Zoria and crew at the end of Twilight Son's arc at +1/+1 on a dark/psi def, only to turn around and realize that I'd managed to keep Cyrus Thompson alive the entire time so he never actually died.

Profiteer: Taking a Mercs/TA MM on an LRSF, and thanks to the sheer arsenal of temp powers she'd collected for 'RP purposes', taking out Luminary with a Revolver, Swan with a Throwing Knife, Valkyrie with a Gabriel's Hammer (kill shot on all three, btw), and then surviving the fight against the Phalanx WITHOUT pets, and bringing so much debuff to the table that we walked all over them.

Soulsteel: Doing the Barracuda SF, back when the MM buff was broken (and not having enough team debuff to make up for it), she pointed out very coolly in-character that it was not a problem. She summoned her bots, threw every dark power she had at Reichsman... and then hit him with the Ace of Spades, dropping his defenses and resistances straight through the floor.

I think Smersh is right... (goes to check)

Yep.

Veng, sent you a PM with some edits for the new article.

Hey, I'm not saying my version is THE RIGHT ONE and everyone else can go hang. I just like it as a prototype. (And I tried to get that coppery/teal effect on it, but it just wouldn't work (grumble).

Is it done yet?

Don't even bother dignifying it with a link. (You've also been scooped on this one already, FWIW.)

As the saying goes, "Everyone has a right to an opinion. That does not, however, automatically confer the right to be taken seriously." S/he is entitled to make a statement - but getting angry about it only diminishes our cause.

Actually, hubby's account had it, so I just borrowed that instead.



Link in case it doesn't appear.

I figured that Crey would be a bit less concerned with looking heroic, and be more toward functional. So the fabric look underneath could be all-weather insulation (and hopefully fire/acid/whatever-proof), while allowing a bit more flexibility than a full-on tank-style suit of armor.

Crud, no way for me to purchase Mecha and Tech Knight on beta. I've got an idea or two and now I can't make them.

Sorina Tavarisch would probably look at me for a long time, not saying anything, but with a look of resignation and sadness on her face. Then she'd go to Fort Trident, wish the Phalanx good luck, hug Positron hard enough to dent his armor, and tell Numina to take good care of him. Then most likely she'd go back to the War Zone to join Vanguard's efforts in saving Last Bastion in Praetoria, secretly hoping all the while that she'd get killed in the process.

Andrea Blake would probably just shrug and go back to partying in between her efforts in saving the world. As an Incarnate of the Netherworld, oblivion is a concept she is quite familiar with. And as far as she's concerned, every time she thought it was all over, she came back. So why should this time be any different?

Jo Sinclair (aka Mender Anomaly)... hers you'll see in my farewell video.

Only 2 of my characters are pre-COH (Johanna Sinclair is the protagonist of my TRINITY BLOOD: UNEXPECTED RESULTS series, while Kakita Nasami is my L5R character who later became the protagonist of my SAMURAI 7: THE SWORD OF THE SOUL stories).

All the rest came from here. And their backgrounds are strongly tied to the lore. While Andrea Blake could certainly be 'ported' over to another system or fandom or whatever, the idea of Tava anywhere other than the COH-verse is almost unimaginable.

I once (and only once) managed to Dimension Shift the nucleus during a Hamidon raid. It lasted for only a second or so, but it was enough for all the tanks to go "WTF?!"
