As he travelled the shadows of the netherworld he came upon a Lich, it seemed to walk with a purpose.

Must have been summoned by a necromancer, as it passed it was muttering something about 'Find Mechano.' and cursing its summoner.

"Hold it, where IS Mechano, more to the point, if YOU'RE heading for Mechano, where is your master?"

The lich hesitated for a moment, this being knew Mechano, or at least seemed to.

'Mec...han...o' it pointed off to the left slightly.
'Mast...er' it indicated a rocky outcropping to the rear.

Lykofos nodded, "I think I actually understand what you mean. I must thank Necrosis for teaching me a little about zombies." he stood for a moment thinking.

"Could you take me to your Master." he hoped that the distance would dull its senses and allow it to take him back.

It slowly nodded and led him around the outcropping and pointed to the shadow of a large boulder. "That exit, thank you. I can help your master, I believe we have mutual interests in finding the good Doctor."

He stood in the shadow and focused and before he knew it he was standing knee deep in sewage water. "Urgh, not good, this better be worth it. Hello? Anyone down here?" he had a good idea where he was and didn't like it.

James Patterson was already in Paragon when the attacks started, in fact he was in the same PPD Building as Rylus.

He heard the pulse rifle fire and knew something was going on, he'd heard rumour that the NWA was on the move again. He had thought to get Lykofos in on the action but he was detained by Paragon Customs. He was hidden behind a door when Rylus made his call to Ed. All he heard was the final line "Me and my retinue are ready when you are."

He turned, two Officers were running down the corridor, shouting about laser fire. As the first officer passed him he close lined him to the floor. The second span towards him and drew his weapon.

"James? What did you do?" James smiled and raised his arms out to the sides, he summoned all the power he could and the cop raised into the air spinning around. He walked over to the officer, a man he had known many years. He leaned in close and whispered to him, "Andrew, you know that villain you've been searching for...Lykofos?" he stepped back and back flipped. As he landed a dark cloud washed over him and he stood in his true costume.

Lykofos stepped forwards, "Survival of the fittest Andrew, and right now, you don't look to good. Farewell." He reached up and broke his neck. He drew the darkness into himself and unleashed a torrent of dark energy upon the first officer, now stirring, he cried out and vanished, dragged to the underworld.

"Now then, time to party." He knew what the target was to be the only place worth hitting today was the PI bank.

I actually like this idea, think of those heroes on the loading screen that we don't know who they are, they would be perfect as a 'hero for hire'.

Thing is, what would we be willing to sacrifice to take them? XP? not likely, Inf? the way the market is likely to go after the MA changes, probably not.

/signed anyway

Hobnobs are, to quote a Mr Peter Kay, the SAS of the biscuit world.

"DUNK MEEEE"

Just added a Quick Handbook Entry for Lykofos

Will get his Main costume over to you tonight.

I was on but hadn't checked the forums for where I was to be, I did send a certain Dr a tell but oh well, think he had his mobile turned off.

I seem to recall someone telling me that the guy with the topknot was called Tribal but I wouldn't put money on it.

Tuesday will probably be ok, what time are we looking at?

I'd be up for that with my Main Villain, Lykofos, the leader of the Rogue Syndicate.

THAT is what we wanted, last night was great War, brilliant meeting you and having a chat.

I laughed so hard when I read the one about the Galaxy Purse Snatchers.

GhostRaptor and Avatea are not devs, they're EU community reps, and GR's leaving at the end of the week.

I knew that FFM just to see them online was good.

What do you get if you cross a Skunk with a Boomerang?

A Bad Smell you cant get rid off.


That ^ describes me perfectly well (appart from the smell.... I hope )

I've been here since day one of EU and I'm here to stay, I've dabbled with WoW and FFXI during my time but my sub for heroes has only ever been ended because I couldn't pay it for a couple of days.

I'm here, I'm going nowhere, people were complaining about the announcement? Why? OK we learned NOTHING new, but the last I checked we didn't get One, or Two devs in the training room with us, but FOUR!! In 4 years of EU I've only ever met ONE GM and in one day I meet and talk to 4 devs.

Amen Broken Heart, I've been here since day one of the EU Launch and I have to say that while all it was described as 'Fun' and not 'Big' you would have thought that to have us staying up for the announcement so late it would have been more than that.

TBH, we learned more by bugging Positron with questions on test than we learned from the Announcement.

To see so many high standing members of our community leaving us is a sad thing, I will have teamed with many of them under various guises, both mine and theirs.

All thats left to say from me is, FFM, take care mate. Hope you find yourself an MMO to call home and I hope that you can find the space for Paragon in your heart with a later issue. Again, take care.

Happy Birthday City, 5 years of my life you took from me, and gladly given.

But please don't make this the day where I decide I want those 5 years back.

We want, nay, need, NAY DESERVE, more than a re-hash of previous events and AV/GM fights, sure the Kronos Titan in Atlas was a surprise but now its getting silly.

Keep out faith, there's still 12 hours of time to give us, make it count.

OOO never thought about Luck tbh, thanks Donna, still not quite ready to slot him. Too skint. Still trying to get my empath slotted properly.

Good on ya GG, always leave it to the golden one to tell it like it is.

Neither is Tyrant I don't think, I was looking for him but couldn't find him.

I did a respec a couple of nights ago and as usual, after clicking to accept the changes, I had to go through the annoyance of reorganising my trays.

Why don't they add a feature to save your tray config, and after a respec you can just reload the tray. Anything New or Removed would not appear but at least everything else would.

This would also help with the Dual Builds, though I'm not sure how the trays react to build swapping. Do the trays Auto change or is it another reorganisation fest?

Kid turned to Chief and quickly nodded before heading out the door and into the warehouse where Aisha and Flash was waiting.
He leaned in close to Aisha "What we got?" he whispered.

Kid nods silently, he had withdrawn back into himself, and composed himself before fading out of sight.

"I can scout ahead he whispered to chief, what do you think?"

oops my bad, still VERY useful bind, Speed Boost on a kin springs to mind.

I used the very same bind set up for my empath, when you reach your own team slot it repeats on the previous target then continues onto the next in team list.

Create a new folder, named keybinds, in the location of your choice (I used C: to make it easier to load)

Open 8 new notepad documents and in each put in this line,

F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 1$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 2$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 3$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 4$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 5$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 6$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 7$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"
F1 "powexec_name [power]$$team_select 8$$bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt"

With each file, the [file name] part should be named for example cm2, cm3, cm4, cm5, cm6, cm7, cm8, cm1, in that order.

To load, type /bind_load_file c:\keybinds\[file name].txt

Kid sighs and mentally does eeny meeny miny mo.

"I'm taking that one, anyone coming?" there was a determination in his voice. He was one hero you would NOT want to be messing with.

He strode over to Building No.565 and stood watching the others.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, now that's gonna be a game that will eat up my summer.

Kid could hear Aisha's words but had already left the room, the results of the attack were weighing heavily on Aisha.
Problem was, they were affecting him to, 'Why didn't I do anything. I should have tried. I could have...' he stopped and looked up at a swat member, he was watching him. The look in his eyes told him enough.

"I....I...."he looked down "I'm sorry, for all that in there."

He left the sewers and sat on an upturned garbage can, waiting for the others and thinking about who is responsible.
"Hmm the Council, nah no robots like the description, unless Vandal has been busy. A new clockwork king construct? Could Crey be building something new, the Revenant Hero Project not working for them? It cant be Freaks, not their MO, nor Malta. Nemesis, is crazy enough I suppose. Who else could have done this, the only people left are Arachnos and the Sky Raiders, Arachnos? Possible, not Raiders."
