I play "Villains" far, far more. I know the Rogue Isles like a second home; I've never been above Security level 24 in Paragon City.
I need to read more of the comics to get a feel for Statesman... -
Quote:I swear that I earnestly read this as "Manticore with States". It's seeped into my subconscious.Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
IIRC, States gave them bottles of wine from the Three Sisters Winery (read the WEB OF ARACHNOS novel for more info). This is apparently quite the gift, considering how potent this stuff is.
There, still, is a couple that mystifies me. I would have sooner paired SP with States than with Manticore (that whole ageless thing). Meh.

Either way, I updated my post with the exact description of the wine. I trust your knowledge of CoH lore that this is an awesome gift. -
I was thinking about Statesman's character this morning and how the most personality I ever saw of his that was, well, interesting, was the limited duration wedding event that happened when Manticore and Sister Psych got hitched. You had to uncover what wedding gift each member of the Freedom Phalanx gave them.
Statesman gave them a bottle of wine:
Quote:Anyway, that was the only moment I saw of him that interested me. Edit: The core of a character is in the details. Unless you're dealing with extremely high fantasy (Lord of the Rings, for example), a character needs to be deep and rounded, like a Bon Bon of infinite nom-iness. What do they like? What don't like they? What are there flaws? What's Statesman's favorite book? A real character has answers to these questions.Bottle of Wine
From the 'Three Sisters' winery. The tag says 'From Marcus'.
Maybe it's because I don't play Heroes that much, but I don't ever see much besides "He's perfect; now go away." -

I can see Fusionette's furious confrontation with Faultline now:

No, no, no. If you're REALLY going to go for heavy metal love, it's got to be Nemesis/Clockwork King all the way.

This reminds me to track down the program that lets me change the game's loading screens and log in page.

I approve.

I think the burden is on the paparazzi to get some photos.

Quote:It's unrealistic! UNREALISTIC!Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I think it's hilarious that we can accept characters who've drank potions, been hit with intergalactic radiation, teleported to alien worlds and experimented on, killed and resurrected, killed and not completely resurrected, and mind ridden by 80 year old hoochies in green celophane armor, who, while they gained the ability to shoot laser beams and withstand being hit by a truck, are absolutely immune to any changes in sexuality. Even when their sexuality has never explicitly been discussed.

Warden, why would Fusionette necessarily be dreaming of hurting Statesman? She could be okay with Faultline's poly-lifestyle.

But... but I'm defending the possibility of hawt man-love? Just 'cause most people are straight doesn't mean statuesque proportions are only thing Statesman borrowed from Ancient Greece.

I say they just use the number "40" to mean "a lot" and move on. Forty people died on Vulcan; there were only forty survivors. They lost over 99% of their people.

Quote:I'm going to call this post "Cutting Logic on the Legitimacy of Slashfic".Originally Posted by FunstuffofDoom
While the subject's being tossed around, that, too, is a fallacy. It's called the induction fallacy, after the fundamental problem with the logical process, induction, and the ruling is, you can't say something is certain because it's really, really likely. David Hume is famous for beating western philosophy upside the head with this concept, and, for a giggle, since large parts of Science are inductive, large parts of science are formally fallacious. Weird, huh?

It doesn't (i think I covered that...that's what "on the DL" means), and I'm not. But just playing the numbers, odds would be they're straight as opposed to bi.
I'll play those odds. And, photo evidence suggests, so would Faultline. -
Quote:1) As I stated before: How does proving that they like women prove that they don't like men? I could google the word Bisexual for you, but I'm at work and like employment.Originally Posted by Furio
well, except in this case, there is evidence to the contrary. Namely Faultline's relationship with Fusionette, and that States has been married (to a woman) and spawned progeny. Sure, they *could* be on the DL, as the kids say, but lacking evidence of that, I'm gonna go with the position that *does* have evidence.
2) How are you taking this thread seriously? -
That post got away from me, yeah...
Well, I can hear you, Prime. -
People assume that peoples' love lives are a strict parallel of their on-screen affections, but actually from a more realistic, distanced viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of smoochy-woochie, kissy huggy... stuff.

Raging man-love?
Except tug boats. Chris Hanson has no cause for concern. -
I think it'd be really cool if one of the tutorial mission involved Statesman saving you. That way, when you save him at level 50, it carries much more meaning for the individual player.
