rian_frostdrake

late to the thread, but glad it got resolved. some things murder your performance, fiddlin' about sometimes helps, glad it did for you. if you have gameplay related stuff, toss it up here, we will be glad to help. just take a sec to calm down first, angry or threat posts can get you more noise than information. see ya ingame maybe.

eh that may be the general definition. the definiton i was always taught was a variation in the gentic makeup of an offspring. and that was the point that i was getting at, that mutation, while it is a term bandied about in comics as something giving insane powers like telekinesis or weather control, it is really something that is generally very mundane, like the two aforementioned cases of hair or taste sensitivity. not ginger baiting, merely giving the slightly more scientific perspective that mutations are actually generally boring or annoying. I will admit that while i was double checking, i didnt find your definition anywhere, as most mutation definitions i found dealt specifically with the offspring and its "parents" and how it was defined by either environmental or genetic error alterations to have traits not predicted by its genetic fore bearers.

I would certainly get behind that. most longbow and ppd stuff is already pretty easy to emulate, but the hardsuits have a unique look that would be well complimented by some power armor styled powers.

how on earth did i miss that one for a dirty joke..im dishonored.

yeah, that kind of struck me, qualitative judgments don't really have as much weight from someone who is pants-on-head retarded.

pineapple mauve box-top. remember 51888888888344355555

you will, oh lord will you ever.

(and on liberty, you will see mine, in a few months)

my namesake was a ma/sr from june 22, 04..and i had flurry because i wanted superspeed. you can see why i can be snarky when people complain about sets becoming "unplayable", im really not a mean guy, i just have a different perspective

mine tends towards black adder and monty python, but yeah, england=funny guys for me.

as for my characters, i dont have many with specific ethnicities that i do anything with, because i always worry about blundering across the invisible but perilous line between characterization and stereotype. but weatherbug, my humorous mad scientist hero (ice/storm controller) is samoan. but its a minor plot point, and barely known since he is encased entirely in power armor with his various weather control devices

my night widow, terra romanov is black, and of russian ethnicity, as she is partially based on the story of paul robeson.her parents left the us in the 60s for russia, where they thought the racism would be less pervasive. Russia didnt quite work out, and post the fall of the soviet union, the fled to the rogue islands to escape creditors that they could no longer pay in the shaky post communist russia.

lady bizzybee is african american,.nothing really done with it though

seraph blue is from mexico, and before being killed to silence her protests against a crey factory that was destroying several local communities, she was a civil rights lawyer.

atomic angel is indian, from a wealthier family. nothing really is done with it though.

rian frostdrake is german, but his ethnicity is kind of shakey, because he is fairly nomadic and when he was born in the the black forest area, it wasnt a unified country yet.(he was born around 1790 or so).

marquis renard is of french descent, but he is from louisiana.

glesengel is german/chinese

Cammie yin is japanese, of the somewhat cliched ninja family backgorund..hey they aint all gems, kids she is part chameleon yokai, thats worth something, right?

most of my other characters are monsters, robots, pre-human divinities or space aliens, so they lack actual nationalities, or are generic Americans or rogue islanders.
now that i look back, i guess i do have a few, but as i said, they generally are more basic story hooks rather than being major story points. Rian has hopped countries from armenian to tibetian to german, basically i needed a remote location for the dragons to be and ethnic tension to kill off rians family, beyond that its kind of arbitrary.

but not the atkins diet

most of my villains are low on the scale, violet is more of a robin hood style urban defender who finances that protection by stealing from the wealthy. dire worg is a punisher styled ex hero driven by guilt over a botched rescue and looking to keep punishing villians by measures that even lognbow would be uncomfortable with. my only villain who actually wants to cuse trouble and is selfishly motivated is my crab soldier, who is basically paris hilton with a copy of soldier of fortune magazine, advanced athletic and technical skills and a love for political upheval.

be careful with that joke mister, its an antique.

they do, but on a thread that is supposed to be at least somewhat about putting on a united front and enticing other peopel tocome, particularly after they riterated that they wont be doing a new pass on old content int he near future, maybe it could be held for a more constructive thread and not trawled out as a blunt weapon to swat the developers with yet again so soon after they already commented on it. keep in mind you are drawing this observation from the same pool of people on kotaku that seem to beleive that co is the graphic update of coh, and that we need to raise the level cap. so maybe these arent the best voices to go to for a rational outlook. I want old content revamped too, particularly the shard but can we keep it focused for the intent of the thread before we kick and scream for candy at the check out line when we have already been told no? no one is asking to shut up(well, not before the diversion) but maybe placing the thought in an appropriate thread, can we get that maybe?

perhaps they do, well, id imagine keith moon and John Entwhistle probably dont.
