Lorekeeper, you need Lorekeeper, if your on Virtue Message "Fist of Osiris" and i'll send you a mail composed of every Secret Contact, where he is(The /Loc) and the badge that unlocks him.

(If you are offended by acts of violence or stuff like that look away, this thread is not for you!))

(This will be one of many chapters of this story, but please feel free to give your opinions and helpful story-writing tips here! If I don't get any tips on how to improve it'll just be that much harder to improve.)

A punch flew for Joey's gut as four men were holding each of his limbs, trying to keep him still as about six Family Mafia Men were kicking, punching, spitting, and shooting him in various non-lethal places. Joey's massive left arm raises up, lifting all four of the mobsters holding onto it. Joey begins swinging his arms, struggling for dear life trying to shake them off sending a few of the mobsters into the wall of the buildings in the small alleyway they were in.

However his efforts were futile as a group tackled him to the ground with renewed vigor, holding down the thrashing behemoth of a man. One man in a freshly tailored white suit, a white fedora, and a pair of black 'Daddy-O' style sun-glasses walked up to the restrained Joey.

"Joey, Joey, Joey, Didn't your mother ever teach you manners or was she too busy on her knee's to teach you anything?" The man in the white suit said with a wicked sort of smile as Joey's fighting spirit was renewed as he thrashed even harder againts the huge group of Family Mobsters holding him down. The man in the white suit took out a silenced 9MM Pistol and fired it repeatedly into Joey's massive body. Everything went dark and the voices faded, except for ringing, slight, soft, ringing.


Joey quickly jerked up from his bed to the sound of his Cellphone Ringing, his body covered in sweat, his bed in shambles and his breathing labored from the panic of the nightmare. He reached over to the desk beside his bed and picked up the Cellphone, opening it and answering it.

"What?!" Joey said rather harshly, still upset from his dream.

"Watch your tone, if it weren't for me you'd still be rotting in Ziggursky, your just a worthless no name thug in the Rogue Isles, if you want to go anywhere you'd best listen to me." A Female's voice said from over the line, he studied it for a few seconds before remembering it to be Kalinda's.

"I am sorry Mistress Kalinda, it's just that I...well I had other things on my mind." Joey said, his tone dramaticly changing into that of a whimpering puppy.

"So I see, being haunted by the past Joey?" Kalinda's voice said with a wicked sort of tinge mixed in.

"Mistress Kalinda I am grateful for you letting me become a Destined One but...I wish you wouldn't do that...I hate it when people rummage through my mind like that." Joey spoke passive and quietly.

"Yes yes, well I did not call you for mindless chatter..I have a job for you, and if you get this right I'll pass the word onto Huntsman Oheka to consider your initiation into the Wolfspider Unit. " Kalinda spoke, her voice never changing from its cold, emotionless tone.

"Im listening Miss Kalinda." Joey said as he sat up in bed to devote further attention.

"It involves your good friends the Family Joey.." Kalinda spoke with a sort of amusement, feeling his reaction. Joey was not the brightest bulb, which worked well for Kalinda since it meant he had no mental resistance whatsoever. Kalinda was confident when she made him a Destined One that he was destined to be a servent to Arachnos..



(Look Forward to the Next Chapter.)

Your site has not had a new movie in a while! I was giving up hope
I've been a Mr and Miss Abyss fan for so long and havent heard an update on the movie site for a while.
I am a big fan of Hellions and Monolith, and hope for more movies of that type.
Just got done watching this film, great as always =)

Leet Term for Aggression.

Bump

Okay, so to make things easier for people to get into roleplay Im making this survey thing to give people a bunch of questions to ask about their characters, cause unlike me not everyone is a writer with books to pull ideas from.

Name:

Race(Black, White, Alien):

Origin(Mutant, Science):

Hero or Villain:

Archetype:

Former Job(If Any):

Current Home: (Can be anywhere you quest at, or hang out at, or anywhere your character was born, go nuts.)

Brief Physical Description:

Brief Personality Description:

Goals and motivators:

Does your character care about Freedom Corps/Arachnos?:

A typical quote from your character:

Do Heroes or Villains Recognize your character, if so how:

History:

RESPEC
A respec can be gained by doing a trial at level 24(?), or sometimes after an issue goes onto the live servers because of the amount of buff's or nerf's you will be given a respec because of this. The Respec is a thing accessed at "Jack Wolfe" in freedom plaza in galaxy city, it allows you to rechoose the powers and slotting choices you made or messed up on, but it wont let you rechoose your Archetype or Powersets. DONT USE THESE AS A SAFE POINT TO FEEL FREE TO MESS UP YOUR SLOTTING! Why you might ask? Because they are very hard to get your grubby mits on them, free respecs dont come every day.

To be continued...
Feel free to add anything you can think of to help the young ones.

Origins
What is an origin?!
Glad you asked Billy, its how your hero became a hero! It also picks which group of paragon officials you will work with and what tasks you will get. It also chooses what groups of villians you will fight early off. If your a roleplayer and have a story in mind, go for whatever. BE WARNED SCIENCE IS HARD FOR A STARTING ORIGIN AND MAGIC IS HARD UNLESS YOUR GETTING HOVER AT LEVEL 6!

Science: Vahizlok, early, avoid this like the plague unless you really want a challange or have a story in mind. If your going for this go for lethal damage, stuff like archery assault rifle, katana, and broadsword.

Mutation: Easy Squeezy Lemon Peezy, Just Hellions and skulls, small time thugs, easy for new commers.

Magic Hellions and Circle of Thorns, if your getting this you need hover, or combat jumping and learn the art of window jumping, because...well...alot of the Kill 10 Circle of Thorns missions get hard without them.

Technology: Clockwork, easy, just dont go with psionics.

Natural: Council, expect ambushes, because they will happen alot. Basicly as easy as mutation.

COSTUME'S, I.D'S, AND BIO'S OH MY!

All up to you, Icon is a helpfull tool to perfecting costumes later on, but it costs money and is hard to get to for anyone below level 18, and you can make a Bio via your ID option in the menu at any time, but your name will be forever, spend an hour, spend a day, just perfect it, IF YOU DONT YOU WILL REGRETE IT! It will eat at the pit of your soul untill you reroll from the annoyance.

WE LOVE OUTBREAK!
"B...B...But Hawkeye! We know the game already! Who Needs Outbreak?" You do, kill 100 contaminated for a nice badge, doesnt do anything but it looks cool. PLUS IT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GET TO LEVEL 2!

This, that, and a little bit of Super Hero!

Atlas Park and Galaxy City are your starter towns, their both easy to navigate, be warned, once you pick a starter town its hard to pick the other, at least it was for me because I memorized the town.

Badges are great, and they are a great way to say HEY LOOK AT ME! But only Accolades affect your character, go to this webpage to learn about badges.

DONT START A TASK FORCE UNLESS YOU HAVE THE HOURS OF ENDLESS GAMEPLAY AND TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE TO DO IT WITH! If you start a task force, you wont be able to stop it and restart it again, you'll have to do it all over again. Completing a task force ends in a badge, and is a great, easy way to level.

Icon is located in Steel Canyon, which the enemies there go from levels 14 to 20, ICON is a costume shop to change your costume or do quests to unlock your new costumes.
Capes are unlocked at 20, along with another costume, aura's at 30, if you know when exactly the other two costume slots open, tell me.

Peacebringer and Warbringer, The "Grey" Archetypes.
You unlock them at level 50, if your an altoholic dont expect to see them.

More will come sometime down the line.

Disclaimer: These are all my views on each archetype and origin, your free to disagree, or give helpful advice to improve the guide, flames just arnt needed, nor welcomed.


What does that mean?!

Tank: Well as tanks do in the military a tank means someone who can take ALOT of damage before going down, usually the person everyone wants the villians to pay attention to, usually referring to the tanker, and some scrapper builds.

Argo: Argo is the amount of attention the villians are paying on you, Defenders, controllers, and blasters all want less argo then scrappers, and everyone wants less argo then the tanker.

Crowd Control: This is often referring to the affects of many controller and tanker powers, such as taunts, sleeps, holds, fear's, anything controlling the actions or movements of a mob.

Mob: A single enemy or a group of enemies, they are the people your fighting.

Window Jumping: There is a small space on a window where your character can stand, many people have crafted an art of jumping from window to window ontop of a building, its not as hard as it sounds, practice in Atlas Park or Galaxy City with Sprint. its not hard.

Lethal: Most weapons do lethal damage, along with spike, thing sharp edges, most power descriptions describe the type of damage they inflict, Vahizlok are the annoying villians, and they hate lethal damage.

Psionic: Mind powers, Mind Control, Mind Blast, those sort of powers, very few things are resistant to Psionics.

Ambush: An Ambush is when a group of villians spawn ontop of you after a mission, or before a mission, usually on a task force.

Resistances: The Different villians, the different resistances.
Example: Someone from Alaska is more resistant to cold weather then someone from Mexico.

Squishy: A squishy is a controller, defender, blaster, and even some scrapper powersets. It means an archetype, powerset, or person who cant take alot of damage before he is sent to the hospital.

So your all set up to play City of Heroes huh? Well Log in and the first thing your confronted with is server selection.

CHOOSING YOUR SERVER

Virtue is the unofficial Roleplay server, the other servers are all great choices, i'd recommend browsing their realm forums, maybe posting a topic there, and asking them about their community, who says you cant be on more then one server?

GETTING STARTED (Archetype and Origin)

Now you've got your server and you see the Archetype(Classes) and Origins. Archetypes are as followed:

Blaster: An offensive juggernaut, unequaled in ranged damage you cant get a better caster then your blaster!

Controller: The backbone of any well founded group, crowd control is your game. You hold, you make them sleep, and you do some other nice crowd controlling feature's. Of course your secondary powers are your buff's, debuff's and damage dealers, while you wont do as much damage as a good blaster that doesnt mean your useless in that department.

Defender: The Defender is the friend of any scrapper or tanker, always there to pass on a buff, heal, or debuff their enemies. Your secondaries are damage, your on the same page as controller damage wise, you can do good damage, just not more then a blaster.

Scrapper: Scrappers are as their name implies scrappy, wirey, little fighters. The melee brothers of blasters they are unequaled by tankers in the damage department but if you decide you want to be the tank you might end up waking up in the hospital tube.

Tanker: The Melee brother of the controller the tank's prime function is control, dont let anyone tell you any different its the tank's primary job to keep the attention of all enemies, he is the beef, the prime rib, the meat shield. With your taunt, your various protective powers, and your few damage dealing powers you are the friend of everyone on your team, keeping them alive. But dont let it fool you, you can do good damage, and solo pretty good, but who needs soloing, you'll get your fair amount of team invites now that the new ranged powers are on the servers.

POWERSETS

Up to you depending on your style my oppinion is, post on the board of that archetype and ask about them, or hover your mouse over the powers, it will give a brief description, each powerset has its good and bad points
Example: Martial Arts: Nice Looking Animations with high accuracy but not alot of damage.
To be continued.

Like the Druid from Diablo 2
/threat
The Avatar runs a finger across his neck and then points infront of him.
/slit
<Playername> thinks someones gonna die.

That my friend is Anthromorphic crap.
Japanese pop culture at its worse.

I prefer normal kitties and puppies, or DOOM Kitties or puppies, not Anthromawhatsis.

An Energy/Energy Blaster, I have no idea where to start name or backstory wise. *....Hic!* Thought about making him fit into an old style hero like Wolverene or the Punisher, not exactly a "Dark" hero but an angry one *....Hic!*

He woke up slowly drudging out of a dumpster thinking he must have had another wild night with a few gnomes. He scratched himself and got dressed looking around searchingly to find a world of metal and confusing tall structures! Dear Gods! I hope their a brewery nearby! He thought to himself with no real thought to the confusing world he found himself in.
He looked around and saw a neon sign flashing, he didnt understand the words but he understood the neon symbol of a bear mug clearly as he ran inside the bar and came out with a large keg on his back and a mug in his paw. The Large Panderan sloshed around the street happily car's crashing into him with little affect to the drunken, huge, Panda-Man.
He wandered off into the alley he woke up in only to see three huge hulking Hellions with axe's, gun's, and club's looking at him menacingly. They all hunched over him punting and beating at him, his mug fell down and poured into the gutter, he cried as the Ambulance carried him off the hospital.
He woke up later in the hospital attached to life support, his keg on life support next to him, just then the sound pounded his eardrum as the Keg flat lined, the nurse went over and tried to revive the keg but it was gone, she looked down in shame of her failure.
The Panderan roared and his eyes went red as he threw the IV aside into a wall and huffed down the stairs and through the doors, without opening them. He roared and charged twords the alley am renewed rage in his heart for the murderer's of his beloved keg. The rage boiled in his blood and heated his heart sending rage through his body.
He charged at the three hellions throwing them about like rag dolls and punching them wildly. He ripped a lamp post out of the ground and wrapped it around them and left them in the middle of the street, still mourning the loss of his lovely keg. He crawled back in the dumpster and fell through, back to his own world, he had enough of this horrible, ale hating steel world.

((Sorry if its a bit hard to read, never learned how to paragraph in this darn Forum style chat box. =P ))

I've already done the patriot act char, its done for me.
Im a woman and I dont mind playing as a male avatar, dont quite understand the deal there.
Im either going to be a Martial Arts/Invul or an Ice/Ice Blaster.
I tend to like being the more laid back char.
Im not good with Bio's or costumes.
I could most likely make the Bio if someone created a questionnare.
