That's like saying a Federal Air Marshal should shoot at least one person on every flight he goes on, because why else would he have a gun?

Wonder if it's full of sea men.







What, someone had to do it.

But then again, I'm looking at my list and wondering if some of the following really deserve going to that next level.

Like: Emu Kid, a AR/fire blaster who is the teenage son of a mutant crime fighter who saddled him with stupid useless wings and who burns himself in order to feel alive. Or Noob Cow, a Mind/Kin troller who was a bovine with mad cow disease before scientists tried to cure her with Superadyne. As two examples.

Don't get me wrong, they are Incarnate now, but I wonder if when a meteor is about to hit the planet, are these the folks you want to be in control of saving us all?

On a similar subject, here's the Storm of the Century from 1993. I remember this one vividly; it was quite a doozy.

Other than that, I loves my taunt auras precious, yes I does. I'm playing a melee AT, so logically I'd want to keep everything in melee, no? I'm also playing an AT that obviously terrifies the crap out of everything, seeing how much my Scrappers without a taunt aura have to deal with runners. I only wish /SR had one. Oh, and Dark Armor, which could use one even more seeing as it has all those PbAoE mitigation powers.

I really wish none of the various aura powers for Scrappers had Taunt in them. When I see that Shield Defense or Invulnerability has one of them, I consider that a serious drawback to taking the set.

I left him standing in Talos Island if I can recall, standing there, with no slotting and nothing to his name but a pair of ragged pants.

I've had to do the same to my other characters. Basically I can afford to play 2 I figure, and that is without the extreme expensive stuff too.

I really want to revisit my elec/elec tank, but he's too far away from 50, and too broke to care. lol

I have a 30's tank I'd like to revisit, but I basically 'stripped' all my other 50's to keep my scrapper rolling....

So what's your Incarnate item? This is all pure RP and flavor, of course, but I'm curious to see who imagines what.

My main, Julian Drake, has his two pistols. Julian Drake is a Thugs/Traps Mastermind who is less a villain than he is a spoiled brat on a joy ride. With millions of dollars at his disposal and no greater imperative than "A good time", he doesn't stop for reflection or contemplation. As such, his decisions are geared towards what's "cool" at the time. Nothing's cooler than Guns that may well make their owner immortal. So what started as an impulsive idea has resulted in a destructive chaos rolling through the Rogue Isles.

Your turn!
