Juniper Tonic

48273 could spell 'guard'

Hey that's my girl Freyda! Thanks ChristopherRobin for posting her here for me.

I’d like to thank Isikol for his wonderful work. It reminds me a little of the movie Excalibur (the visuals for that movie have always made my jaw drop). I’m overwhelmed at how well his artwork portrays her expression, body language and overall sense of badassedness that I felt when I played her.

I highly recommend Isikol because he was polite, professional, and fast. He asked questions and listened to what I had to say. Please do think about immortalizing your best loved characters with some artwork. It takes a little of the sting out of losing them forever.

At this point I'm thinking about commissioning another...

As Toadliquor’s wife, I’m the lucky recipient of the “ignoring orange text” prize. I hope this is the right spot to post this.

Toadliquor, you are a super Smartypants! Thank you so much for this wonderful Christmas gift. Don’t forget, though: you were stuck on the puzzle all day at work until we started talking it through out loud.

I’d like to thank ChristopherRobin for coordinating this great contest. You sir are one of the many many reasons that this community is the best of all. I’d like to thank all the wonderful artists that donated their time and talents to the contests as well.

The character I chose to immortalize is my main, a broadsword/shield scrapper that I created on the day shield defense came out. I make a ton of alts, dozens of them get deleted, and she was originally supposed to be a jokey kind of creation: big, mean and slow; a fantasy medieval look in a tights-and-masks world; with a cumbersome name to boot. But when I started playing her, I discovered she fit my playstyle perfectly. Yes, she was slow, but she hit hard, with authority. I really liked that. And then came shield charge and way over soft cap defenses, hol-ee schneikeys!

Toadliquor will have a laugh if I say this: “properly buffed, she tanks like a beast”

She’s been the one I bring to get badges, accolades, kill AVs, do crafting, events, etc.

She is based on Erik the Red’s daughter, here is a little article on Wikipedia about Freydis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freyd%C...Dksd%C3%B3ttir.


So without further ado, CoH, please meet Freyda Eiriksdottir:

At the end of my very first day playing City of Heroes, I was a little overwhelmed with everything, this being my first MMO. I took my newly level 8 DB/SR scrapper Juniper Tonic to a corner post on the wall to the right of Ms Liberty. I just sat there for a while doing a sit emote that I had learned.

I watched other heroes go by, chatted with my husband (who had just shown me how to do the sit emote), and just kind of drank in the atmosphere before logging off. Atlas Park has changed a little bit since then, but there is still a corner post to the right of Ms Liberty and I intend to sit her down there again, let her drink in the atmosphere before she has to go.

Thanks devs for giving these away.

First post, woo!

Thanks again for the sweet Apocalypse gramps. It was fun busting a few heads before the cc, too.

Great job choosing the venue, because looking up at Atlas' bum-bum during a costume contest gets old. A change of scenery is always nice.
