Updated, also Swan's counterpart is open once more, decided to focus entirely on C and as such can't justify blocking a spot

Bump

To be honest i'd much rather give up my Signature hero alt to make room for more members, than to have another "Manti-clone" running about.
We have to remember that we arent the only ones in the game, and other might be inspired, and i for one, playing a Manticlone am fearing than now that Arc/TA are gettign buffed we'l likely have an inflix of manticloses whom arent associated with ous, and there isn't much nevelty in being one out of 20 or so copies.
I am however not opposed for a player to say make alternate copies of their character.

Just made a Swan ripoff named Atratus
Sonic/Kin Corruptor

I know of an am member of 3 themed SG's

"PGG - the Paragon Ghost Guard" Military themed Heroside SG
Focusing on Natural human, as well as a few technilogically/Scientifically enhanced ones.

"TGR - The Ghost Rejects" Villainside version of the above

"Twisted Helix"
Villanside group of Cloned/Manufactured/Trained counterparts to "the Surviving 8" (Statesman, Positron and the gang) with possible expansion into versions of "the Vindicators"

The two first are recruiting and a short description of them both as well as links to the PGG forum can be found in the Union SG thread (heroside)

Ok so we are free to level independently of each other?
Then i'll have something to do, most of my other theme team are on a "all play or no game" policy, so this frees up some playtime

So how do we go about meetups, arragements via here, sg message of the day or what?

Blue shield is copyable, but he is infact the one hero that wasn't there from day one, originaly BaB's was taking care of kings, but he was moved whan galaxy was created

For reference, would you say that the opposite of using a shield for both offense and defence (Blue shield)wouldn't be using two swords?

To make an exact opposite a stalker migt be possible as they are low aggro, low defence, high damage, the polar opposite of tankers.

Lol imagine it

Oedipus,
Small boy who was in love with his mother, he killed is father then tried to kill himself after his mother disowned him for being "sick".

Joins Recluse who utilizes his hatred and love for his mother, creates a berserker that weilds a mighty Axe and roams the rouge isle searching for his dead love

Infernal Oedipus is born

[/ QUOTE ]

Making his mother commit suicide and him makin a deal with a demon to get her soul back would be neat too, maybe the soul getting put into the axe and as such he loves to swing it about, dancing with mother, soaking it with blood to keep her soul trapped inside.

Hehe im not really creative on my own, i am however prety good at twisting stuff allrady made, wich is why this theme team fits me so well.

Heh let's just say that the lumber yard won't let me buy any 12pound sledgehammers after they saw me swinging one about one-hand like a baton, also they've moved their double bladed axes into their storage area as well...

Yeah, they really made a boboo in i-11 a axe/mace is a 1000 times "Brutier" than dual blades, also a hero running around with an enormous axe using "beheader" on purse snatchers, with enough force to send them flying several yards...

[Edit] or a Infernal with a even more extreme and sinister over the top mother issue...

Ooh deep Bru, had a feeling it was somethign like, that but calling anothers character... alternative, just based on a hunch is pretty bad form so i took the mild version.
Also, this REALLY has potential, looking forward to when/if we expand with Anti-Vindicators later.
Also, im not sure if you know but the whole "Out of the ashes came eight beings shrouded in smoke." is a pretty neat mirroring of "the surviving 8" as our hero counterparts are collectively known

[Edit] Wow 5 posts came in while i was writing this up, and i even though i was being quite fast...

[ QUOTE ]
Some were direct clones of their Hero counter-parts. Some had their DNA enhanced by the DNA of their counter-parts. Some had been mechanically engineered from scratch. Some just had their inherant gifts nurtured.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh, missed that before, this makes it a lot easier to fit in my background.

(Edit)
[ QUOTE ]
all in all i like the story means I need to tweak my original idea for byb as i was gonna go for the growing up together thing with bab but easy to sort

[/ QUOTE ]

Ooh let me guess, in kinda good at that.
"BaB was a bully, beats up scawny little asthmatic ByB, had love/hate relationship (admires BaB strength, hated being bullied), PLOT_DEVICE brings ByB to Rogue Isles,
ByB tries to beef up, no succes, offer is made to buff him up in exchange for being villaneous"
Close?

Looking brilliant, but how are we handling Cockatrice/Manticore's creation?
I don't know if you can clone the circumstances and mindset which turned a millionaire playboy into a hardened (yet still human) crime fighter.
The though of implanted memories has however struck me.

Thread desperately attempting to organize and improve overwiew of SG's recruting

Time travelling and changing the past is imposible by the equation:
Event X causes Person Y to go back and prevent Event X.
But if Event X never happens, Person Y never goes back.

Now some would state that a "Chronologic anchor" would preserve Person Y's motivation, but with Event X never happening Person Y has no motivation to preserve.

As such timetravel becomes pointless, aside from going back and learning from the past, trying oneself against a foe before he is imprisoned so one might be prepeared for once he is no longer so.

So you can't change the past to change the present, but you CAN know your past, change the present and thus shape the future.

I (CCockatrice) will be waiting for you as well

The Ghost Rejects are seeking new recruits.
TGR is a Villain group for those whom have little or no "special" powers yet still with to make their presence felt on the isles, and in unison we will!
We encourage lightweight RP, so farily digninfied names and costumes are required (ideally donning the TGR standard issue body armour, as it is quite funny standing about Pocket D looking nearly identical, especially peoples reactions)
These are however just guidelines as it is the members that shape the group.
You can contact me at @Diakos, or our other recruiter at @Tarash

Bump to keep afloat

Sadly im not able to attend wednesday, got my regular heroside theme team there, same for Sullster if i recall correctly.

http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...ge=0#Post20415
There you go, now if all of the groups there rejects you ,then you'll have a proper reason to be a Snapping Whineosaur.

Seeing as he villain groups in Union seems to be lacking a central recruitment hub, I'll rip off Pen_dragon's heroside thread.

"If you are running a Villain group on the Union Server, why not post some details about your group here.

Usual things - name, motto, any character limits, objectives, how to join, RPG style(if any), and anything else you feel perspective members would want to know.

I'd ask that those interested in joining a group not post here and contact the group they are interested in directly. Just keep this space as SHG digest - save a lot of time trawling through all the boards. So over to you ...."

Also if this Thread kicks off a STICKY would be golden.

Just make sure not to get caught IC by Zero, last **** that tried to pull a fast one in the D found himself in a pocket dimension of his own for quite a while
