Spidon21

Ha, mine's lvl 38 too. I'm tempted to either change the real world costume of Spidon, or else make one of my seconadry costumes in game become the main one. We'll see. Good luck with your endevours

I am really in the same place as you mistformsquirrel, I have a couple of concept drawings of my characters, and he has a pretty generic outfit that no one could say I'm using CoX's costume pieces. I have a stripe that goes from the waist up and down the arms...like Spider-Man's red section, however my suit is purple and green. It's always been that way, and CoH just happened to have the same thing, so it worked out. Next, he wears jeans. I'm pretty sure anyone can wear jeans. And sneakers. Other than that, he has black skin (real black, not african) and glowing purple eyes.

I guess what I really need to do is find those old sketches I made.

I'm hoping that simply publishing my stories (that has nothing to do with CoH) and turning them in for my senior project is alright and CoX won't sue me for writing down my ideas.

So, just to make sure. I created my character way back in 2000, I had images of him already, but used City of Heroes to render him in a way I don't have the knowledge to do. Obviously I can't use images of City of Heroes to promote my character. But, I'm a junior in college, and a creative writing major, and I intend to write my series of short stories needed to graduate about my character, Spidon. Can I get in trouble for that? Even if I get it published? Otherwise, if I just deleted my character from the CoX servers, would that be enough to escape action against a character I created before the game existed?

[Edit] I'm basically in the same boat as mistformsquirrel. I made up a new backstory involving CoT and the Tsoo for City of Heroes, but I have a different backstory for my writings.

[Edit2] After going back and reading through this thread, if I change the core suit of my hero, but keep the name, can I then write about a Spidon who wears purple and green with jeans? Whereas the Spidon in City of Heroes wears red and black?

The Spidon I created turns into shadows and can use them to teleport. The Spidon in CoH can't make a portal to teleport through, he glows with a bright light. He also connects to the Netherworld, the Spidon in my stories does not. Is that enough, or is the mere fact that I used my character's name as an alias or username enough to get me in trouble?

Someone please let me know, I'd also hate to delete the Spidon in City of Heroes that I've been playing for 2 years.

To RednosedMoo, Thanks, that saved me time and energy, very well done.
To Muad_Dib, thanks for the inspiration to come up with the card.

Anyway, here's mine:
Fear the Boss

After reading this thread I had to find some of my own. Here are a few favorites.

"If I had a coin for every time some newb tapped me on the shoulder looking for answers I'd be be rich."

"The Circle thinks Arachnos is in league with their ancient enemies. Some group of losers called the 'Moo.' Maybe they're cow men?"

"WSPDR has a story about demons running amok in St. Martial. The story got killed though because demons is bad for tourism."

"There are two kinds of villains. Successful ones. And your kind."

This is also a typo I saw:
"Some say the Arachnoid mutants were created by Longobow."
