A few quick questions.
How should people contact you in-game?
What sort of base will they be setting up IC?
Upon joining, will people be given an ultimatum on treatment of members from a different faction?
How will the group keep out people with malicious intent, such as, say, a Crusader that's all "omg no way, i'm so goin to ruin ur stuff"? -
Quote:Original context: In the mission 'Rescue Hostages in the Ministry of Technology' the bossmanperson says: "Go get Tanner on his flippies, we'll ashtray his thinkbox first."
When I first saw that word, from the context, I was pretty confident it means "brain" or "head". You might wanna double-check that.
Otherwise awesome list! Thanks!
This could either mean Tanner's brain/head, or show that the Ministry of Technology is his, as Dr. Tanner is a lead researcher or something. Discuss! In the meantime (?) added.
Done. -

This sounds interesting. How do you intend to find other Praetorians IC? Simply through word of mouth?
-
Midnight Grasp is one that seems lackluster.
An alternative animation could be, say, the one from Foot Stomp or Stone Spears, as their animations seem more popular, and perhaps more fitting.
Though I don't know whether it would be possible to change the animation on the enemy, perhaps rather than tentacles the visual effect on them could be like the dark wispy effect you get in Petrifying Gaze. Just more centered around the legs. -
Of the other species in the empire, who are the most notable?
-
Sounds well thought out, though I do have a few questions. Please correct me if I'm wrong in any of my assumptions in the questions, or if I just missed something in the exposition post.
Most important: Why are they on Earth?
Being lawful, are they here as cultural ambassadors of sorts, or more as scouts?
Why fight our crime? It sounds as if they would have at least a little real concern for Earth's problems, as they seem kind and all, but would they do it because they actually care, or because it's a simple method to show the world's population that they come here only with the best of intentions? -

Name: To Cripple a City
Arc# 278039
Morality: Villain
Level: 40-54
Enemies: Longbow, Paragon Police, Custom Group
Description: Paragon City has seen more than its share of Villains. Most are forgotten within a few years of their arrest or disappearance. A few, however, are immortalized in the history books. The trick is earning that honor. -
Is there a way to have, say, AVs fighting each other in a one on one fight? And if not, has such a thing been considered?
-
After the Mu-Oranbega War, what happened to Ermeeth?

*Enters the D. Glances around. Looks at the bottle of rum. Opens it up and chugs it. Dies.*

Alright! The Rad/Traps Corruptor has been created and is sitting at level 7, if I remember correctly. Should be able to get him to 12 quickly. I ended up going with the name Noxtech for him.
-
Hm. I may be able to use that idea for my character, actually. I'm leaning towards having Radiation as the primary, at the moment. Mister could have provided him with a cybernetic part on his hand/arm to create the radiation blasts. Seeing what sort of person Mister is, that part could release some sort of addictive substance. The more the power is used, the more effect it has.
At this moment, what are the naming/costume guidelines, if any? I still haven't settled on a particular look or type of name. -
Sounds interesting. I'll happily join a team like this. At the moment I'm leaning towards a /Traps Corruptor, though I'm not absolutely set on that one. Though building around that concept, I'm currently thinking of a small time crook who thought up ingenious methods of using common objects to break in and rob homes and businesses, though never with much success, due to not having the resources to really test their creative limits. Until of course "Mister" came along and offered to help them. But again, that's just off the top of my head.
For the meeting days, I'm assuming by the lack of specific days listed that there's no set days yet? And on another note, I may have a friend or two that would also be interested in this. I'll poke them and see what they think.
In case you want to contact me for whatever reason, my global is @Viseur -
Oho, now this sounds like fun. I'll be there for both on my Kin, Sean/Sonus Casus

I have far too many screenshots.. a few at a time will do.

I know she cheated! I'm just not sure how...
