Nyte_Shaide

I too keep getting the Server unable to connect when trying to login, I put in my password and then get the message telling me to check for server maintainence or whatever since I DLed the newest patch.

I haven't changed anything in my PC, have checked my driver's, run the file check on the game, restarted etc and nothing works.

Glad I'm not the only one being swayed by the yum of the picture lol. Will probably be French toast for lunch for me too.

....that picture is making me hungry....

I don't know why wings with magic bolero is such a problem all of a sudden. After all, we've been able to use wings with the wedding pack tuxedo for a long time now, and nobody's had problems.

Greetings Everyone,

It has come to our attention that a bug has slipped through the cracks in all the excitement.

Currently with the purchase of the Magic Pack you are given the ability to have 2 capes. This is a bug and will be fixed in the next build to live. Once the fix is published to the live servers, a visit to the tailor will remove the 2nd cape option.

Players purchasing the pack after the fix will only see the original intended options.
Players wishing to keep the option should refrain from visiting the tailor.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Can't you just let it stay? theres some good combos and really a little bit of clipping I can deal with...

anyone else having trouble seeing the pictures?

Sirrah blinked and cocked her head to one side, regarding Nyte with a quizzical expression.

"I have not seen you before," she remarked in a soft, whispery voice. "You have wings. They are pretty."

Nyte paused in her actions, snapping her cell shut and regarding the women in front of her more closely. Self conciously she ruffled her feathers at the compliment as though trying to tuck the wings closer to her body - which was silly but while Nyte was used to stares and the occasional comment...but very few compliments.

"thank you...you have a lovely voice"

And she did, it was a voice that got ones attention without needing to be loud, or perhaps it was simply the matte of fact statements she had made which got nytes attention.

"I just moved in not to long ago"

Nyte had intended to return to her apartment after the others had gone thier own way..but had been sidetracked by text message from one of her comrades. she was in the process of replying when the expanding pressence of another person caughth er attention.

Normally such a thing was not worth noticing..afterall people were constantly moving in and out of Nytes mental radar, for the most part she ignored it..filtered it out as background noise...once in a while however something would catch her attention. Something like someone approaching her from above in the middle of an alley and clearly not useing the noisy fire escape.

Glancing over she quirked an eyebrow at the person landing apparantly under her own willpower, not that that was unusual in Paragon.

"Sneaking out?"

She questioned the new arrival.

Nyte nodded at Crestfallen as he moved away, watching him with slightly furrowed brow before turning her attention to Erik as he spoke to her, giving him a warm smile.

"No rest for the wicked I suppose, It's Paragon..when is there not trouble of some sort to deal with?"

Nyte smiled a the man shook her hand although thier touch sent a shock through her - it was as though suddenly a wounded animal stood before her..though the imagry soon faded she was none the lsss aware that Soren wounded in some way..although not physically obviously. Her brows furrowed slightly..but long expirience with such things made her careful...people tended to close down when you confronted them to swiftly. With some effort a smle returned to her face as she withdrew her hand and followed his gaze to the building.

"Yes..just moved in actually, still getting to know everyone I'm afraid"

Nyte stepped back as the man exited the doorway, feathers ruffling slightly as she shifted her wings, eyes appraising the man before her, her empathic mind connected the fact that he was the only one around and so was most likely the one who had been watching her exchange with Maury but as she sensed no outward hostility from him she greeted him with a smile.

"Thanks quite alright,I've done the same thing many times, I don't think we've met yet..I'm Nyte"

She answered offering her hand to shake as she introduced herself.

Nyte was more then slightly annoyed as she rounded the corner, about halfway there she had realised what or rather who it was she had sensed - and thankfully it wasn't a giant rabid wolf, that had merely been jumping to conclusions, couldn't really blame her however - it'd been a hard day.

Leaning against the alley wall and no doubt waiting for her was Maury - one of her - or rather Grif's more annoying contacts, he was an arrogant little cuss and after figuring out Nyte could see through his lies had dropped quite alot of cash on a nice little magical artifact which muddled her empathy. What Nyte had sensed was his dog - a foul tempered mutt that the man dragged with him everywhere. Given half the chance Nyte was pretty certain the dog would eat Maury...Maury must have though so too since the beast was muzzled.

"what are you doing here Maury?..scratch that..how exactly did you find me?"

nyte asked him before the man had a chance to open with his typical crude statement. She was far to tired to deal with that. Maury must have taken note of her less then plesant expression because for once he didn't waste time verbally sparring with her.

"Our mututal friend told me to bring this to you, said he would catch up with you about it tomorrow"

He stated holding out a small package which Nyte took and tucked under her arm without opening.

"So your running his errands now are you, it better be important...this is my home not my office Maury...now scram someone's close"

Nyte stated before turning and walking out of the alley - no doubt Maury would make himself scarce..the man was slightly paranoid. Stopping at the corner she let her gaze rove over the area searching for the pressence she felt watching her.

Nyte alighted upon the sidewalk in front of the apartments several hours after leaving the site of Hunter's wolf attack. As she landed she realised it might have been wiser to use the fire escape again - the better to avoid certain people..but Mabel was old and it was late...here's hoping the old coot was sleeping.

Nyte was to tired to check, she was so tired even her wing's hurt she and her comrades had been run ragged attempting to uncover the source of an unknown plague in an alternate dimension for Portal Corps. She was just about to push open the apartments main doors when a wave of anger and torment washed across mind, a low snarl issued from the alley beside the apartments. Nyte wanted to bang her head on the glass door.

"You've got to be kidding me.."

She stated in annoyance before slowly turning away from the door and cautiously moving towards the alley.

*wanders off...but only to find a garden hose, come's back whistleing*

Yep I'm set to weather the fire myself and yes everyones entry is terrible but mine thier all a load of unoriginalblabber not worther of the greatness of Foo's art.

*nods and hopes her attempt to be mean makes the grade...isn't very good at being mean*

((No problem Hermie hope everything gets situated for you, computer problems are never fun))

Nyte glanced over the edge of the building at the wolf was quite literally put down, she cringed slightly because frankly she loved animals...not giant mutated rabid animals...but animals none the less.

Seeing that Agent Smith was there and as Hunter hopped down to talk to him Nyte decided it was time to make herself scarce - it was past time to meet Grif anyways and she didn't feel like dealing with the department.

Stepping back from the edge Nyte made her way to the opposite side of the building unclipping her cell phone as it rang.

"I'm on my way" Pause "I know I"m late I was sort of busy being chased by a giant rabid wolf....No..I'm completely serious....Everything fine I'll be there in a few"

Clipping the phone closed she lept off the roof edge taking wing towards her supergroups base.

absolutely loving some of the bios and character ideas in here - of course I also love just hanging around Atlas and reading random bios sooo

Sounds like fun heres my Character Entry

Character Name - Nyte Shaide

(Short) Description of the character concept - She's a defender who follows around a particularly reserved and anti-social scrapper (played in game by my husband) because she believes its her purpose in life to 'fix' him, this drives him insane and he basically put up with her presence because she just wouldn't go away - over several years however they've developed a fairly good understanding she's his buffer against the social world - and he feels enough responsability for her that he makes sure she dosen't die in her wayard attempt to make the world seem like a better place. Her full bio/better description is listed in my sig on our Guild website.

(Short) Description of the character's look - Screenshots will work better I think, but a few thiings - the top part of her wings are always either White, black or some shade of grey, the bottom half changes on her whim, her hair is typically streaked with whatever colour of clothing she's currently wearing.

costume 1 costume 2 costume 3 Nyte Armour

Nyte having knon that her tendrils would not hold the beast for long was not surprised when it tore free and at long last found its way to the roof - the fact that it wall jumped there was suitably impressive but she didn't think the beast would really cared if it was impressive of not - all it wanted to do was destroy something and she was now the closest target.

The wolf lunged and Nyte lept into the air, a powerful downstroke of her wings taking her out of harms way...for the most part at least a scattering of feathers told that the wold had come perilously close to finding a truer mark.

Nyte was used to such things however and didn't flinch at the close call, Feeling the creatures anger first at missing her and then from the sting of Hunters blades Nyte twisted in mid-flight to send a bolt of darkness at the creature from above as it lept for the next building. Due to her height and the beasts leap she hoped the bolt would catch it between the shoulder blades and send it either crashing down into the alley - or at the very least mess up its jump enough so that it hit the wall not the ledge.

"Hunter! RUN!"

She yelled at the man, darting foreward through the air towards him while attempting to draw on enough darkness so that she could hit the wolf again if it preservered through her latest strike.

Nyte spent several hours attempting to make the apartment display some sort of personality, it was always a challenge in such places and she vowed to stick around long enough to actually make painting the wall's worthwhile this time around. In the end the place seemed lived in if not yey homey. Oh well- it was a start.

She still had some time before Grifters specified meeting time but clamouring around the apartment was hardly a thrilling idea - neither was clumbering out the window - although that was worth it if it ment escaping time with Mabel.

Her mind made up Nyte slipped through the window and lept off the side of the fire escape, she let herself fall for several thrilling seconds before unfurling her wing and letting them catch the wind proppeling her up and out of the alley.

Since she was out and about she thought perhaps she should drop a line to Agent Heine..if for no other reason then to get the surly little man off her back for a little while. Grifters explaination was a good as any and they'd just have to suck on some lemons if they didn't like it.

Powerful strokes ofh er wing propelled her towards the building in which she had left Hunter earlier - it was much faster flying, as she got closer however a general disturbence in the emotional atmosphere somewhere nearby caught her attention.

Typically Nyte had to be fairly close to a person in order to get any sort of emotional readon from them, in fact her 'emotional radar' as it were was quite limited compared to other empaths she had met. However when a large group of people all expirienced the same emotion - in this case fear - it became for all intents and purposes a rather shiny beacon on said radar.

Drifting from her original path to follow this disturbence Nyte flew for only a few moments before she came across some more substantial evidence that something was wrong in the general area - Citizens were running in every which way like a flock of petrified pigeons. It might have been amusing ...if it didn't mean something nasty was afoot.

She didn't bother asking the paniced citizens what had scared them - paniced people were rarely very helpful, instead she simply continued towards the epicenter of the mass exodus.

As she came closer she recognized Hunter and landed lightly beside him before peering over the buildings edge where a source of large irritation was emenating, the sight of a giant snarling wolf making his way up a fire escape made her arch her brow somewhat.

"Seem's you made fido a bit angry Hunter"

The wolf was quickly making his way into leaping distence and Nyte frowned slightly, she very rarely exhibited the second side of her abilities in public, indeed it was almost as if she was ashamed of her shadowy control of the nether...still when it came down to useing said ability or being lunch ofr a wolf Nyte decided on the first option.

Sighing slightly she relaxed her inner hold of said power - it was like relaxing a tightly held fist deep within her own being, as the mental fingers released thier constant grip tendrils of shadowy nether began to escape, flowing around her like snapping wraiths. Nyte hated the feeling - it was like being covered in the very essence of death and it chilled her to her very bones.

But it was necessary and she was capable, turning her mind from the disgust over the tendrils she wretched control and flung them towards the approaching wolf. The beast howled as the shadowy energy knocked him from his foothold once more to send him sprawling in the alleyway. Nyte shuddered slightly at the tendrils joyiously turned on the wolf inky black tendrils springing upwards to encase him as they leeched his lifeforce.

Nyte was fairly certain he wouldn't stay there long and turned to Hunter.

"That won't keep him for long and he seems fairly determined to get to you, I suggest we move"

Nyte had headed back to the apartments after leaving Hunter, she still had alot of unpacking to do - and now what promised to be an exciting conversation with Grif about some burnt down warehouse. The warehouses in her opinion were so frought with crime that burning them all to the ground would probably do the city some good. the city however did not share her opinion.

She avoided running into Mabel by landing on the fire escape and with a bit of prying entering her new apartment via window, which she left open because well the air was a bit stale inside - apparantly the apartment had been empty for quite some time.

Throwing the packet of paper Agent Haine had given her on a nearby chair, not caring overly much when half the papers slipped out to scatter across the floor. She was proccupied with attempting to get Grifter to answer his phone - she'd already checked in with her supergroup..and he was as normal off-com there as well.

"Why the hell won't you answer your phone..if your off by yourself again I swear!"

She ranted into his voice messages before snapping the phone shut in irritation.

"you swear what"

Came a gruff voice from behind her, whirling she glared at him - Grifter was one of the few people quite adept at sneaking up on her, his emotions held so tightly in check sometimes that he was but a muted presence in an otherwise busy world - at least when he wasn't loosing his temper.

"You kno I hate it when you do that"

She huffed in refrence to his sneaking up on her to which he replied with a look clearly ment to state she should have been paying more attention, He ignored her after that glancing around the tiny apartment with an appraising look.

"Nice.."

His tone was clearly sarcastic and she rolled her eyes.

"Yes well we can't all live in penthouse apartments"
"you could if you'd take some of the profits from our work"
"I take enough to keep my gear up to date..and we've had this discussion before I don't much care about where I live....besides the people here seem fairly nice."
"Did you run background checks"
"No"

He fixed her with a look to to which she stubbornly glared right back - Grifter was far to suspicious for his own good, she wasn't about to pry into her neighbors lives simply to appease his over-protective sense of responsability, which she knew he had even if he refused to aknowledge that fact..or even that they were even friends he stated quite frequently that he had to put with her because she just wouldn't go away and knew how to find him. Which had been true...in the beginning, he needed her weather he wanted to admit it or not, now they made a good team - and no one else seemed capable of putting up with him long enough to get things done.

He grunted and let his gaze flicker to the door.
"No peephole"
"I'm an empath Grif I'm fairly certain I'll know if someone's trying to bust my door down"
"I got in without you noticing"
"Your differant, you want to tell me about the warehouse fire"

She asked kicking the pictures on the floor to send them skittering towards him. He glanced down at them with a shrug.

"There were three bombs I only found two, the third was some new model and neither intelligence nor any of the equipment picked it up"

Nyte considered that for a few moments before replying.

"Well at least there's a legitimete reason"

He nodded glancing around the apartment once more before heading to the door, opening it he glanced back at her.

"Be at the base by 7, the boss has given us a few marchign orders"

Without another word he strolled out letting the door close loudly behind him, shaking her head Nyte went on with unpacking.

Nyte followed Hunter into the DSPA building, she considered his words thoughtfully more pieces to the Hunter puzzle it seemed although not enough to truly make heads or tails of it quite yet. She had barely stepped through the doors when she felt the approach of a familiar person - how lovely.

The receptionist visably winced when she took notice of Nyte, Nyte ignored her but she could sympathise - typically her visits caused a bit of grief.

"No worries...I'm here unoffcially at the moment, no nasty damage reports or requests for collateral damage funding"

She assured the receptionist before handing Hunter a card.

'You need help getting anywhere else you can reach me there, I'm about to be accoosted by Agent Haine, he's a lovely angry little man who just dosen't appreciate my partner's good side"

She stated turning at the exact second said agent - a short stern looking and almost portly fellow with a cranky look on his face. "Your partner dosen't have a good side" the man stated with near venom.

"You see...I'm always right. Take care of yourself"

Nyte quiped to Huner before pushing off from the counter and flashing the Agent a smile.

"Agent Haine..how lovely to see you again"

Could be heard floating on the air back to Hunter as Nyte joined Haine who practucally threw a packet of papers at her, Nyte caught them deftly in the air opening the folder to glance at the picture's..which she admited didn't look good on first glance. Oh Grifter...What trouble have you gotten into while I was moving? It wasn't the man's fault really he did what he did for good reasons he was mostly just...misunderstood, Nyte played the go between acting as a buffer between Grifter and any agency,person or group that required one. ?Nyte was a far better people person - it was just easier this way.

"Yes well I'll speak to him but I'm sure there was a very good reason that the building caught fire, I mean there were criminals attempting to take it over..."

Nyte nodded a few times flipping through the papers before pulling a pair of sunglasses out of her pocket and with a cheery smile at Agent Haine and a wave to Hunter she breezed back out the front doors settling the suglasses over her eyes before unfulring her wings and hurtling away into the sky.

Nyte considered his answer for a few moments, gaze roaming over the buildings imposing silouette before dropping her gaze to apparantly study her fingernails for a few moments before glancing sideways at Hunter.

"Oh..there are always choices,sometimes thier just not apparant for a while"

Smiling she started foreward again.

"So chin-up, whatever they've got you into you might eventually find a way out of."

Nyte glanced at him for a few moments before responding.

"hmm..yes I suppose it would be wouldn't it?"

As his steps slowed she adjusted to match glancing over to see what had caught his attention, her gaze settled on nothing more extravegant then thier destination, arching her brow slightly at the imposing buildings...which truth be told she was never completely comfortable in herself.

"Not so sure you really want to go in there? Can't blame you"

Nyte laughed lightly, she was pleased to see him smiling - even if it was only barely there, she had the feeling Hunter was not prone to such things - he had a rather reserved air about him.

"I try very hard to be unique"

She told him with a solem gaze - although she only managed the serious look for a few moments before smiling again.

"Now the question is..is disarming a good thing? or a bad thing? I admit it's probably a step-up from irritating but maybe a step down from angelic"

She joked lightly, many questions floated through her head about Hunter...but it was best not to push for such things such details would perhaps be revealed in time - or maybe not who could really tell?

Nyte remained silent along with Hunter as they put some distence between them and the aparatments. She let her gaze sweep the streets before them before casting a sideways look to Hunter as she answered his quietly spoken statement.

"Don't ever apologize for your emotions Hunter, how you feel about a situation can be hidden - from most, but should never be apologized for. People lie with thier words and thier actions but strong emotions can't be faked and one should never feel sorry for the truth, sometimes emotion is the only truth people have to offer."

Realizing that she was quickly decending into a philisophical discussion on emotion - something she found intresting due to her gifts but others tended to find rather dull she smiled and returned her gaze to the streets.

"In any case it was my fault, my guard was down as I become familiar with the building and all of you living in it I'll becom accustomed in whatt to expect and be able to filter most of the emotional background noise out"
