Gobolo

After a while of not playing this game I've decided that I wanna get playing again but when I do play I feel that what's missing from all of my characters I used to play was the feeling of a mentor having a role in their rp'd lives.

So basically I wanted to see if anyone's got a toon that would appreciate a sidekick, and while I haven't asked -all- of my friends on the global list I thought the forums would be a good place to start. Because I'm not attached to any archetype, origin or power set I'll let you decide them so it suits your character.

The only issue is timezones, as I'm in New Zealand (basically 5 hours behind PST but the day ahead), and only my afternoons and nights are free. If, however you're interested post your global handle and I'll send you a PM in game to iron out the details.

Also if anyone else wants to look for mentors, or look for sidekicks outside of my plight feel free to use this thread

tl:dr:
Looking for: Mentor
Alignment: Any
Archetype: Any
Origin: Any
Power Set: Any
Gender: Any
Misc: I can only play late nights/early mornings PST

Look forward to it!

tl;dr at bottom

I came across something when creating a new toon due to my n00bness which has one known symptom as severe altisis which gave me a question to give you guys.

If you are RPing as a character who has an origin which origin do you pick?
In my context a toon (Thugs/Poision MM) has always had an amazing ability to perceive - he can tell if someone is excited, nervous or lying from a single twitch. But he keeps how he can a secret. Even I don't know if he uses spells, if he was born with the ability to do it or he's so used to people that he can figure it out.

However I do know how the ability started. The base of this ability is that he used to be able to notice things better than the average person. And by practicing that he could apply that to people. Sure you could say "That's natural origin - he trained to be able to do that!" However you look at telekenetics and most of them start out really weak and have to train on lifting up the spoon with their minds before they can move onto the toaster and that's definately not natural origin.

Anyway I won't tell you which I picked in the end. (I might later if you ask nicely.) I want to know what you guys would/have use(d).

tl;dr: If a toon you rp keeps how they got their powers a secret which origin did you pick?

I can sympathize with Heroid's school of thought and those who have a similar feeling towards Warshade/Peacebringer in terms of roleplay.
However one of the toons I enjoy playing is a warshade that I roleplay as being a galactic bounty hunter who tracked down a Nictus and forced it inside himself. And became an Anti-Nictus. Like he supressed the Nictus' will with his own. However he was forced to go to Earth to learn the way of the warshade so that he could control the Nictus inside him.
I think that they are Khledians (sp?) are very maluable if you know how to create variants on a theme - for instance a bond with a third Khledian, or the Khledian was forced out however some powers still remained. Maybe a Khledian left the person and they searched for a new one? Sure there is the big you have to have some connection to an energy being aspect. But if you were to go for a stone/stone dominator you have to have some connection to the Earth itself. Just like any other archetype. Tanks have to somehow be able to take a lot of damage.... you get the picture

Back on topic I'm still new so I am experimenting :P Although my stone/stone dominator is really cool.

Regardless of all this advice about what to do I advise something on a different angle - you to tell us what method you picked and what the end result was. What you decide to do does not concern me - I just wanna know what happened! XD

What would be the best time to be searching for a respec team? Peak hours? Or some of the off hours? And where would be the best place to find people who wish to do the trials? Sorry for bringing up these questions - I'm sure there are several people who are like "Darn it use the search button to find that thread which has the answer you are looking for!" you say. But I'm ne-"That's no excuse! You can still search for the appropriate terms! Even if you are new!"

Actually it is an excuse - I'm so new I don't even know for what terms to search for D:
but anyway could someone please answer my question? Regardless of the forum fanatic's rantings?
