Nemesis really doesn't exist in Praetoria.
Which is, of course, the real Nemesis plot. After all, what could be more disruptive to Lord Nemesis than another Lord Nemesis? The amount of cross-plotting involved would be stupid and insane. That's why Lord Nemesis used Portal Corp's technology to ensure that in Praetoria, he would never realize his true genius.
Naturally this will be undone, because not even Lord Nemesis can stand in the way of the genius of Lord Nemesis. -

Graaff is a pretty pure hero. He's a robot who decided to do justice as part of Standard Robot Programming. His weird 1920s ideas of justice MIGHT lead to vigilantism.
Kid Conductor, on the other hand, is a troubled teen with lightning + radiation powers. Vigilante Defender for sure.
Ceylon Krait is a pure villain, through-and-through, and I can't see him going anywhere else.
Lidaelle is very much a hero and I can't see her deciding to do evil.
Doc Soldano might make a good rogue - my current concept has him a bit unhappy about his status as a villain but still not quite connected enough to be a good guy. Likewise the unstoppable Doctor Mechanicus, who wants to make the world perfect by connecting everyone to a global processing system and using them to fuel his robot army (and then defeat the Rikti and establish the dominion of the Metamind over the universe). In fact, most of my mad scientists are Rogue-esque. Plus, mad scientists are fun to terrorize Paragon with. -
Hey, good to meet you. I'm pretty new to Virtue as well. And yeah, there is RP here, but there's plenty of non-RP too. You can pretty much wield the (())s as you feel fit. It's a pretty fun, friendly server for the most part.

And not for any of the reasons you're thinking, although they do factor in. Yes, I love the community of it. Yes, I love how light and easy to play it usually is. And of course I love the fact that I end up spending eighty thousand hours in the character creator.
But what I really love right now is the fact that this is the only game I've ever played that encourages one particular habit in its players:
Talking like a comic book narrator.
Never before have I seen so many two-line (or if you're particularly prolific and clever about the character limit, two-paragraph) synopses peppered with exclamation points. It's beautiful in a strange, damaged way. I love you people. -
Haha, to be honest the visual design for Graaff is still a bit rough - for all its wonderful features there are still limitations to the CoH designer (and, more importantly, my patience). But he is a fun concept to play with. The basic backstory is that he comes from an alternate 1920s where the Wardenclyffe tower was finished and a global wireless energy network allowed for the construction of robots, the Starling Company Mechanical Men. Then he got side-shunted into our universe by their version of the Tunguska Event. He is quite fun to play - he's basically my excuse to play a superhero with a much more 1920s "crime-busting" attitude, somewhere between the Shadow's moral ambiguity and the good ol' 4-Color "Now I will punch this guy because he's evil" style of doing things. That and it lets me use horrifically out-of-date slang and annoy schoolchildren, and even at my own young age that's already hilarious. I can't wait to get old and do it to kids in real life.

I would definitely be interested in joining in on this, probably with my 1920s Mechanical Man, Graaff. He'll have to play a bit of catch-up, but I've got time to get him in the 20-ish range by the weekend (pretty close already). And come on, couldn't EVERY RP use a little alternate-dimension old-fashioned Tesla-manufactured robot Tanker? He's Electric Armor/Superstrength.
-
Hahah, utterly hilarious. Mutagenic bassist for sure. Because why not? I'll give him some amusingly apropros power set.

I've just joined Virtue as well, as a fun robot from an alternate 1920s (with more TESLA!) who was flung across time by the Tunguska event. Haven't actually found many people to RP with, but I hope it will.

I'll definitely join the Brass Lion Whatever It Is. Steampunk is always great. Wardenclyffe will join the group! Mmm, Tesla references.
EDIT: Wardenclyffe is already taken as a name, so I'll have to reconcept, but there will definitely be an International Steampunk Ninja.
