Ephemeris

My guess is 74.

The new costume pieces look great! Too bad you have to gamble to get them. The CoH team has slowly been eroding my faith in them starting with costume parts unrelated to the trials being locked behind incarnate trials. They continue on their downward trajectory with super packs. I only want the costume pieces and could care less about the other content of the packs.

So, if the costume pieces ever become available on the market as a bundle, depending on the price, I'll purchase them.

This is Citlalmina (Aztec for 'shooting star'). She is a fire goddess that has appeared in many cultures (particularly Mesoamerican and Pacific Island cultures)...This is her Pele form:


I'd love to see a pin-up of Citlalmina.

(This toon makes me wish we had Hequat's accessories.)

I wish the the minions of igneous magmite lord's skins were available in character creation....

Here's my sentient molten lava creature:


This is Ephemeris' second iteration as a fire/stone brute inspired by power customization. First screenshot is with his armors on, second is the log-in screen (to see the base costume). The base costume is from from spectacular...it looks better with the armors and mudpots on. The crystal armor was meant to look like geodes...


This is Ephemeris' first iteration as a fire/fire tank (since deleted). It's his three costumes...first is his normal base costume, second is his mostly cooled rock exterior, third is an homage to my old character skin from another game (hence the gloves and boots).

Hequat

These are Iron Tusk's first two costumes.

I can get on all English servers, except Freedom (the one with all of my characters)...

I guess I missed Justice initially...

Devices... (It's the only power set I don't currently have in my stable of toons. It was deleted at 22.)

I know they're powerful, but I don't have fun playing toggle debuff sets like radiation and dark. I think it's because I don't like losing anchors.

Oklo (Spine/Fire Scrapper) typically is a humanoid dinosaur. But I did make a robotic version of him.




Heavy Mettle (Dark/Electric Brute) is a Rock 'n' Roll loving robot. The costumes are meant to emulate Judas Priest, Guns N' Roses, any hair band (maybe Poison), Kiss and Iron Maiden (Eddie from Somewhere In Time's cover)


Junk Shot (Electric/Energy Dominator) is inspired by BP's failed attempt to fire junk down the damaged well in the Gulf. These are older pics, he's added the steampunk backpack to his costume.

Here are most of my names (all on Freedom):

Kalenta (Dual Pistols/Traps Corruptor)- First mate and weapons specialist on Chronotrapper's ship. Name came from a random cat-person generator.

He's named after the chemical weapon VX, which is just a ploy to strike fear in his victims. He was originally my entry in a character design contest on another forum before CoH came out. His pets are named after chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

White Clover (Illusion/Empathy Controller)- A master of Celtic illusionary and healing magics. She was nicknamed Clover because of the luck bestowed on her family after her birth. She was also my character contest entry on that other forum that was never completed.

Zibelline (Claw/Regeneration Scrapper)- 'Having to do with sables.'

I'm waiting for a small team (2-8 people) option for incarnate advancement or a less punitive shard conversion rate... Both are pipe dreams...

Elyndiel looks awesome!

Touche and Underdog came out great!

Receiving this in my inbox today was quite the surprise. I love it! It left me with a stupid grin I couldn't wipe off my face for over an hour. You made my day Twizded!

Thank you so much for holding this contest TwizdedSoul!

The late Isaac Hayes as Kadabra Kill:

Deceive
Flash
Superior Invisibility
Tar Patch

2) Lousy Day

Oklo was meant to look like a humanoid combo of ankylosaurus (helmet and armor) and stegosaurus (spines).

Here's my spine/fire scrapper Oklo.



And his other costume:

Sweet, I didn't think White Clover had a chance with all the other awesome costumes in the thread. Congratulations to all the others that won! I look forward to seeing the arts of all the winners.

Thank you Twizdid for holding a contest like this.
