this his is costume for now

here is the story.

A 22 out of work EMT in a smalltown outside Pittsburgh PA, USA who is disillutioned with life. He had a car wreck a year ago and now is unable to get work on an ambulance, or anything that involves driving.

He lives at home and is taking pharmacy technician classes. Although he has tried to get work at many places, he is either under-experinced or over-experienced. he is smart but he needs a job.

One day after coming home from an interview that didn't go so well he sits down and watches tv. a knock comes on the door and when he answers there is nobody there, just a package.

When he open the package all thats there is a disc. Being bored and curious he puts the CD into his computer an a program opens up. A large sign flashes on the screen and says,

"WELCOME TO SIMMAN
PLEASE PUT ON ASSOCIATED HEADSET"

HE follows the instructions and comes to a screen asking him to load his SIMMAN. he does and the character appears in a city somewhere in the US. After playing around he begins to notice famous landmarks, The atlas globe in front of paragon city hall. He had seen many time on the news. Ms Liberty standing talking to heroes. It began to dawn on him that this wasn't JUST a computer program, not JUST a game.

After logging off for the first time a Shadowed figure loads onto the screen.

"Dear user,
You have been chosen to run the latest edition of Simman, a computer program written in advanced computer code that allows it to interact with the real world via Hard Light Hologram. It has the ability to harden it self giving it a sort of faux-invulnerabilty useful for protecting others. It also has the ability to make itself light as air and fly. It can combine these two abilities and say harden its hands to hit an enemy while flying. It can also interact with any computer system and download, decode, and translate it in a matter of seconds.

Please be aware that if you choose to accept this responsibilty you accept the dangers that go with it. There are people looking for this program using twisted version of thier from code stolen from me.

I will be in touch.

Sincerely the creator."

FIN.



the character is basically a mix of TRON, using the character being controlled by a user. Arnold rimmer from red dwarf, being a hard light hologram. He is also slightly based on Vision, even though he is a hardlight prgram he can change his density.

These factors lead me to the INV/SS/FLY powersets.
I'm still working on his costume but I'm leaning more towards the perplex set, since I don't see it very often.

eventualy through use of Simman, the character eventually comes to have a greater feeling of self worth and renwed respect for humanity.

He goes onto become a programmer and and is eventually recruited to help create the next generation fo Simman, thus becoming the next Creator.

one aspect I like is that characters that are unaware of what Simman is tend to call him Simon, so when he is teaming with people that is his nickname, though IG his name is spelled correctly.

and I totally posted this in the wrong forum :P

another piece I commisioned from Playworkart. This one is actually from the concept for my SW:TOR character. on problems with the pic that I didn't catch until JUST now are the lightsaber hilt looks kinda short and his hair is backwords (should be parted on the other side)

Speaking of Inf....

Anyone notice on Hero Side when you save a civilian from getting mugged, etc, they pay you? Isnt that a little... weird? Haha. I know that its a means of gaining money and exp and earning money without having to do mishes but... in real life, I cant say I'd PAY a hero for saving me, or as a Hero TAKE the money. Haha.

[/ QUOTE ]

WELL.. that all sort of revolves around their insisting that Influence is NOT money. According to NC Soft and Cryptic before them Influence was/is your reputation within the city so you saved a citizen and your reputaion improved (a bit) since one more citizen now thinks you are great!

It's the biggest joke in game IMO I use influence to buy (YES BUY) everything from added costumes to enhancements, recipes, salvage, inspirations and can even exchange it for prestige to support my SG base (that rate is awful at 2000 prestige for 1 million in inf but it does exist out there). INF is money... Sorry NC Soft but when was the last time you went to the store and picked out new clothing and then told the sale clerk "Oh I am using my Reputation to purchase these things." *pause* "No wait why are you calling Securty?" LOL

Heck we have our own version of the STOCK MARKET these days in Wentworths and the Black Market.. "Buy low, Sell high" so the idea that Influence and Infamy are anything BUT cash is sort of silly But there is your explanation for why you get paid.. your not being tipped you have gained repsect in the community.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's why the Inf!=Money argument isn't perfect, but that IS what was said by the Devs. The only way things really fit together for me, RP wise, is that our ID card is a piece of high tech equipment rather than just a plastic card. Your ID can be changed at any time and gets updated on the spot when your Security Level grows and you gain new powers (ever tried to get your Drivers License updated when you move? Yeah, that can take time).

I've RPed that the card itself is a miniature tracking device that records your actions as you do them. This is the only way that you can gain Inf when you're doing things that are supposed to remain a secret, like missions with Crimson, Indigo, etc. The card itself gets the scan "Powers used. Combatant Defeated. Relative Power Level: +1 Minion. Credit X Inf to account" which is then used for your expenses.

The Influence/Infamy has to be a definable amount when you consider the City Hall has set up an entire system to support its Heroes. In the extra info in the back of the old Blue King comic mentioned that the city used your Influence to pay for your rent, food, and such so Heroes don't need to struggle with a 9-5 Job and Heroing around it (and the Comic is canon; War Witch/Apex's Apartment, the comics Storyarcs being playable, Cyrus' Statue all help argue that they are, making the extra info/stories much like Star Wars' Expanded Universe Canon).

This would mean that Inf is a tangible currency of some kind, and the only thing you keep with you at all times is your ID Card. This would help explain that the card itself doubles as a kind of Debit Card for use in exchange for goods and services. This makes Inf less of an abstract, but also helps fill the gaps left by the abstract.

I had always assumed that influence is some kind of government assistance program for registered heroes. that's what you said. you get a card that registers your infulence and you use it to pay ret, buy groceries. and then those who take the currency get reimbursed buy the governement for so many cents per influence

nice cake....to bad it's a LIE >

OOT was awesome

they ALWAYS come back <.<

Yeah, players don't get that helmet. We also don't get the modified Gladiator Shoulders or the Imperius Cape Mantle shown in that picture, though I sure wish we did.

BTW, a link to an image works like this.
