Yeah, Rikti War Zone tailor is accessable via Atlas Park at level one. I've actually done costume changes before I fought a single mob if the colors looked different in the sunlight or something. Got to use all those Vet costume change tokens for something.

But you might as well visit Steel Canyon and unlock your second costume slot since you're at that level already.

The short time I was in the beta, it seemed that everyone was either wearing trench coats, "Family" style gangster suits or some military get-up. There were some excellent costumes done in those veins but those ideas seemed the most common.

I'm waiting on the retail box with the goodies and free month but I already have my blaster picked out, costume ready and name saved. Come GR, villains in Paragon City will get some retro Blaxploitation justice from Afrodyte:

Haha... "Zoombie" cracks me up. That's just stupid enough to be funny

Erm, I mean that in a good way.

Enough of this commission stuff! I demand character artz that Caem did himself!

Not as short as yours but my shortest one is for Rose Veldt:



Everyone else who has a bio scratches at the character limit.

I wasn't all that enthused with DP (I'm not saying it's terrible, it just did nothing for me) and I don't play much red side so I can't think of any other reason to pre-order. Especially when all the goodies are in the full set to be released later one, including a free month of play making it a better value than the pre-order set.

Above and beyond its length, Positron is just boring. All the different mob groups and stuff makes it feel more like running radio missions for three straight hours than being on a task force, taking down big names. I've read through all the TF text and it's still boring. The length only makes it worse.

It sounds as though they're splitting it in two and also changing up the plot and villains. That's two great things about I17 wrapped into one TF update.

As I recall, BABs has said that the issue with polearms, scythes, staves, etc is that creating a model with two weapon connection points is beyond the capabilities of the engine. Things like swords and assault rifles fake it (one hands isn't really "connected" or both connect to a single point) but animating the swing of a scythe would require both hands to actually connect to the weapon and use it fluidly regardless of model type and size. Same for twirling staves or swinging halberds or whatever.

I'm not sure I can explain it better than that (and I'd love a polearm/staff set) but that's what has come out of previous threads on the topic.

I liked it! I'm not much of a writer so I don't exactly know how to convey the ups and downs of it but I'll give it a shot since I'm sure you'd like better feedback than "liked it".

I thought the tone of it fit Rose. I liked the writing itself which was engaging and easy to read (not that it was shallow but it wasn't overly laden with dense prose that served no purpose). I thought you did a good job of projecting the character. Although you couldn't have known it, I chuckled at the "Most Dangerous Game" line because I actually say that sometimes in game, usually after faceplanting -- "Truly, Malta are the most dangerous game." For a biography and setting of a character, I thought it did a good job.

Critically, I thought mashing the two themes of Rose's hobby & her xenophobia was a little clumsy although I know that was about all I gave you to work with. I think a more developed path about one or the other would have worked out fine. The last paragraph repeats "Not only that" twice, one almost right after the other. You might want to watch for that when you're writing.

I look forward to reading something you do about someone else because I think it might be easier to read/review something I'm not connected to. But I'm sure you were waiting for feedback on this one so I wanted to get something out to you.

Yoinked a slot (I hope). I have no idea who I want done yet but since I'm at least 8th in line, it looks ike I have a little time to think about it.

Looks awesome! Is it staying B&W or is it going to get colored? Looks great as is, though. Nice action & movement and nice detail in the lines.

Rose Veldt doesn't really have a history beyond the couple lines in her story box. Feel free to try to elaborate; I'm not worried that it has to be canon just because you wrote something. What little we know about Rose is in my sig.

For slightly more guidance, she's American, she obviously has access to a good deal of money to support her hobby (I assume old money but never worried about it), she's single & heterosexual. Her "world", so to speak, includes various creatures of myth and antiquity such as sasquatch, chupacabra, mammoths and megatherium. More cryptozoology than fantasy.

Rose is extremely xenophobic towards aliens to the point where she'd almost rather spend her day with a nun-and-orphan-murdering human psychopath than a Peacebringer. In her opinion, you don't travel untold bajillion lightyears to visit someone unless you're planning on screwing them over and their superior technology and resources means that humans need to deny them a foothold now rather than wake up one morning to find out we've lost our planet to our "friends". She compares it to the conquest of the New World -- some came with straight-up conquest like the Spanish, some wrangled one-sided legal "deals" like the English and some acted all friendly and just wanted to trade, like the French, until the Indians were slaughtering one another to be the one to trade beaver pelts in Montréal. In every instance, the losers were the indigenous people. Earth for Humans!

(I don't RP this aspect of her in most groups because people understandably just want to run missions, not see me pick fights with the Warshade we just invited)

As some of you may recall, I once posted asking about the best way to get some of my digital treasures turned into paper ones. The majority reccommendation was to head to Office Max or the like and have them printed there. I haven't done so yet because I'm a big sack of lazy but I still want to.

The one piece I do have is the pencil sketch of Rose Veldt from Wassy which she mailed to me. It's not matted/framed but rather propped up on my desk waiting for some sort of more permanent treatment. No tape or anything on it though! Just slide behind my desk clock so it stays upright.

Thanks! I have more I can add but I was getting a bit lazy and tired of cropping/resizing headshots. Also, I was getting a bit heavy on the 'Princess. I need some more Rose Veldt art and maybe another up-n-comer to dilute the pool.

Also, Wassy is over-represented which is something I'm sure she'd agree with

I'm much the same way. I'd like to play a brute or corruptor Blueside just to see how it goes but there's a reason my highest level villain is 24.

S'what I get for not reading to forums last night.
