Obscure Blade

Actually, the Praetorian version of Paragon - known in Praetoria as "Shroud City" - was nuked in the Hamidon Wars and abandoned. It's mentioned in Tyrant's bio.

OK, here's my idea. Long ago this species was low-to-average in intelligence by human standards, but compared to humans lacking in self control and long term focus; they had difficulty thinking in anything other than the immediate. Then benevolent aliens encountered them and much like happened to the Rikti decided to "uplift" them, in their case by granting them a brain symbiont as well as some basic technology to get them going. This symbiont acted as a sort of coprocessor, augmenting their intellect to human genius levels and giving them the self control and capacity for long term focus they lacked. Their technology advanced by leaps and bounds, but as you say they mostly misused their new intellect; they went from fighting for momentary advantage, to fighting for conquest.

After a long period of advancement their civilization finally developed biological weapons, and used them - and eventually, one of those weapons killed the symbiont. Suddenly they went from geniuses to normal-or-worse, and their self control and focus was even worse than when they started; they'd leaned on the symbiont for that too much, and indulged their passions too much. They lost most of their civilization and technology, with their short attention span it was a struggle to maintain even the portions they could still understand.

Your character had however spent its time in learning, philosophizing and in honing its own self discipline; when it lost its genius, it still had a greater level of self control and had habituated itself to long term thinking. It also had a great deal of accumulated knowledge and records, where others of its kind had only cared for immediately useful information.

As for appearance; as basically a product of a post-apocalyptic civilization your character can certainly mix tech and primitivism; like high-tech costume parts with Stick Fighting. Especially since it never had much interest in the old high tech warfare in the first place.

Agreed. At least something good came from this necro.

Warehouses. Offices, caves and warehouses are the three most common maps I think.

I also like the Rikti Axe, unlocked by the invasion badges. My zombie Axe/WP uses it.

Actually no; someone on your team had a damage aura running and it destroyed the world.

No, it's pretty clear that he is actually unaware of a lot of what's going on.

Meh; having separate servers allows for different server cultures. The powerlevelers/farmers can hang out on Freedom, RPs on Virtue and so on. I'd prefer to keep a servered environment, even if the servers were only virtual.

I've too much of a villainous mind; I see "Puppy Water", and I envision Dr Aeon proclaiming that Puppy Water is "made from only the finest liquefied and distilled puppies!"

I Drown You?

Because he's Spider-Man. Guilt trips are pretty much his thing.

I hope not, I don't want it to end up as limited as Ice.

"No. Acid."

As I recall, the term used was "cartoon gems", which I took to mean as "really fake & tacky looking".

And Sonic Blast characters.

Or a Vigilante! Or a Rogue if you pay them enough.

Mwa. Mwha. MWHAHAHAHA! That's what you think!

At least one of the fancy back pieces looks connected to the back if you are using the Mangler Gears shoulder piece; I have a power armored villainess who has that and it actually looks kind of cool.

I'm the exact opposite; I've barely touched the merit system because I hate gambling.
