Parsec_NA

Ok, I need another costume idea for my villain, Y2K Bug:
Y2K Bug (hard to tell from the pic, but he's as tiny as you can get... all scales are set to minimum, except his head I believe)

He's a Robotics/FF Mastermind with Flight and Leadership. He has Scirocco as a patron so that he'll be getting those electricity powers once he's 41 (he's 40 right now), so I MIGHT change him over to a black/red scheme just so that the red lightning doesn't look out-of-place (though I prefer the blue/green scheme he has now).

His backstory goes like this: all the angst over the year 2000 created a massive surge of psychic energy that ended up lingering across the globe well after Y2K had come and gone. It eventually collected all in one place and manifested as the Y2K Bug. Though he is technically psychic energy, his power comes from technology, as he has an inherent control over it, but he also has an inherent hatred of technology. He seeks to eliminate all technology everywhere and to plunge mankind back into the dark ages. So while he's not the ACTUAL Y2K bug, which turned out to be harmless anyway, he's the physical manifestation of the fears surrounding it, becoming everything the Y2K bug could have been.

Anyway, I DO like his costume right now, but it could use a facelift.

We are continuing to look at the set. Being one of the new sets in the game, it is going to be scrutinized beyond just the Training Room server.

If the set continues to prove itself sub-par on the Live servers, then some adjustments will be made.

This was one of the hardest sets to define. It falls out of line with the "normal" Defender sets. It isn't a buff set, its a debuff set. Its really a different playstyle than Defenders have had before.

For those who complain that the Archetypes who have the fewest sets were overlooked... the next planned powersets are melee based.

If I may suggest a stretchy scrapper or tanker set? Not as strong as the other ones, but the melee range is longer, and if you give knockback powers, you can keep others out of their melee range while they still remain within yours. And to compliment it, some kind of elastic defense?

CuppaJo, I would gladly start out in any of those support positions, if CoH is in need of any; just let me know! After I get a little experience with support, maybe I can move on to writing or music, as I have experience in both.

You know, with all the people I see looking for programming positions, artistic positions, writing, music, design, whatever... I'm surprised all these people don't just lump together and start their own development team instead of trying to get into existing ones. That seems to be the easiest way to start in the business...

^ Nah, for my civilian, my primary power would be gaining insight into the fact that maybe, just maybe, I was wrong about capes. My secondary power would be the ability to run up and down a King's Row sewer entrance over and over for eight hours without getting tired.

Anyone? I didn't know about the meeting this weekend, so I'm completely lost. Nobody replied to my email, so I'm kind of stuck here, I have no idea where to go.

On champion with our new characters, or just with anyone? (Because I haven't decided what to play exactly yet)

Sorry to bump this, but I was kind of hoping to get an opinion on my writing...

I've never played a controller... I'd like to give it a try. How about if I made a character named Magus Liber? He'll be a magic fire/empathy controller.

I'm in. Weekend meeting times work the best for me, except for Sunday mornings, although late evenings often work well (like, after 10pm EST)

I wrote this backstory for one of my characters, Tripwire:

The True Heroes

The soft green glow from the computer console was the only light in the room. A lone figure sat in front of it, tired, but alert nonetheless... one of the Universal Time Protectorate agents, codenamed 'Parsec'. He wasn't too concerned about danger, since nothing ever happened on his shift. Not that anything ever seemed to happen anyway. There had only been a dozen or so incidents during the agency’s entire sixty-five year history. Still, it was his duty to keep watch right now, and it was a duty that he always took seriously.

At least my shift will be over in a few hours, he thought to himself. He was looking forward to returning home, relaxing for the evening.

As he lifted a coffee mug to his lips, the green glow from the screen suddenly turned red, and a loud alert klaxon went off. The mug fell out of his hands, crashing to the ground, as his hands quickly flew across the controls. He had been trained for this moment, and it had finally arrived. "Computer, display source of disturbance," he spoke softly, but with a sense of urgency nonetheless.

"Affirmative, Agent," came the computer’s response. Behind him, the holographic pedestal on the ground lit up, and a three-dimensional array of dots appeared in the air above it. The Main Sequence line cut through the center of it, with a green dot at his current location. A pulsing, red dot appeared further up the line. The computer announced, "We have confirmation of a Class Four event."

So, Parsec thought. It’s the real thing. "Estimated time for complete reformation?"

"Nineteen-point-eight seconds," replied the computer. "Flow-lock shields have already been risen."

"Okay," he said. He returned to the computer console and started working the controls again. "Bring up all relevant data on the location. Prepare equipment for operation."

"Affirmative." A few seconds later, the air shimmered strangely, and the computer continued, "Complete reformation has occurred. Now doing standard scan and comparison."

Parsec sat back and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. It was an odd feeling, knowing that outside of the safe walls of the facility, everything was changed, and everything he knew probably no longer existed. The flow-lock shields that protected the facility prevented it from vanishing due to changes in the timeline. Now it was only a matter of comparing historical data stored in the computer with scans of the new reformation. A beep signaled that the comparison had completed, and he quickly said, "Display results."

The information rolled across the display. As he read it, Parsec was astonished. The world as he knew it was eliminated. It was almost a barren wasteland up there now. He found the focal point of the change, and everything became clear. An absolutely enormous influx of villany in a single location, Paragon City, around 500 years prior to the current time. The success of the heroes at Paragon helped prevent future alien invasions from being successful, but with all these new threats appearing, they might be overrun. That’s definitely it, he thought. If the destruction of the world is someone’s ultimate goal, they couldn’t have picked a better target.

Panels on the wall slid open, revealing his field equipment charged up and ready to go. The equipment had the same flow-lock technology as the facility, so he could safely leave and travel to the past without fear of being erased from the timeline. He gathered it up, putting the Time Displacement Belt around his waist, followed by the wrist computer and eyepiece visual interface. Once they were set, he prepared to start his mission, keying in the sequence immediately for time displacement to the proper year...
