    One that I knew about for a long time but forgot in previous posts: The female "Metal" top-with-skin, when used in conjunction with something that covers the torso but leaves the neck bare (in this case, the Victorian corset - various jackets and robes also work), makes a fancy necklace.

    !!! That's excellent! I think I'm gonna test that out with a formal outfit I was planning.

    Yep! Her skin's not like, super dark, but she's black. It's much more evident on Mother Mayhem.

    that's a shame. The new one looks nice too, at least!
  4. Some damn nice ones! I like a lot of the Aurora ones, with extra points to the people who remember she's black.

    Why do we do that? I'm starting to worry it's pathological - and I do it too.
  6. FlashToo, you have many awesome tricks I may end up using.
  7. I'm remaking my first fifty, an emp/rad def as a rad/martial combat w/medicine pool and sorcery pool blaster, because that's really closer to how I thought of her in my head.
  8. The loading screen looks a bit... off, but Marauder really is the cutest villain.

    Dunno how you're gonna change it, but I love the look/concept of it right now. Everyone's about the chainsaw but damn, I like that cape.
  10. Boo. The only new thing is some IDF transformation powers and they put the fishbits on sale.

    Oh, that's neat! I had a feeling they couldn't be that horrible. I've had to fend for myself more than once when my pets had a horrible accident right after summoning due to one of those annoying electric control freakshow rezzing.

    Haha, I totally forgot about that. It's just not on my radar, I guess.

    I hadn't considered that nature affinity might come today, like someone suggested above. That would be nice. I have a character planned out and everything.
  13. NCsoft has a new game?

    I want goodies, though. So whatever gives me goodies.

    Goodies.

  16. Centurion, I think since Skeletor is such a generic looking grim reaper design (in his own way. His absolutely unique pieces you can play around with until you find something noticeably different you like just as much. You'll be surprised what you end up with!), you should be fine as long as you don't adhere exactly to him. Make sure to give him a top, no purple skin, stuff like that. Maybe since he's a homage to the Skulls with his name, you could add some details from that enemy faction? Like their coats?
  17. Oh dear. I hope they leave the Praetoria zones intact, I haven't managed to play through all the storylines yet D:

So, boom. Here is why I chose SuperMan for the Platonic Conversation, guess what, there has been a "Robotic Superman". In cases like this is there no way to get far enough away from the source material, or am I looking at it wrong?

    Well, that depends. Are you going with the thematic elements of Superman (like I did, alien/adopted raised by goodhearted people, champion of people? I note I added a bunch of other stuff. Her father is a Chinese vigilante based semi off the Phantom, her brother may be a detective who sticks to the shadows, etc, which further differentiates it even though it uses other things similar) or are you going with transplanted details? Like, 'it's Superman! But he's a robot!'?

    Because one's easier to do whatever the heck you want with because you're not really tied in beyond idea, and the other is 'yeah, that's a superman ripoff'

    EDIT: I realize I sound like a dorkus, but I'm fighting through illness to be coherent right now. Forgive me.
  19. I'd go with at least 50%/75% different for safety's sake. That's what I did with MY Superman thought experiment. I was like, the idea of Superman, but for a teenage girl from China.

    Hera wasn't so bad. She was the goddess of a lot of important things, and a lot of the gods did a lot worse than her.

    ANYWAY oh my god, I just found out about this thread and these costumes and re-inventions are amazing.

I'm working on a few small projects involving different images in the game, for instance, hopefully, creating an animated forum avatar...
    Hmm, I don't know, but these are useful images of them made by SyrusB (if you use, remember to follow her crediting information): http://syrusb.livejournal.com/133000.html

    Cornrow Hairdo, you have 3 choices, First choice is without the ponytail and just short cornrows. This is the second choice with the ponytail.
    omgomgomgomg. I've been wanting a hairdo like the ponytail for so so long. Thank you, Dink! Thank you so much!
  23. This may replace devices as my go-to non-powered secondary.
