That sounds pretty cool to me...I would be willing to be either the controller, defender, or the blaster, it don't really matter to me....well, im off...will be checking back within a day or two, to see how it's going.
if i can chose i would perfer the scrapper.
Wow, sounds great! If I could, I would be the Scrapper. (always wanted to try a Superspeeding Scrap)
Unfortunately, my time schedual is so horrible, I would never be able to play! 
When it gets together, post screenshots and possibly a story of what happened so those of us that can't do it can listen in.
LOL - I was wondering if I was going to get any bites. So I've got tigersrlife800 down for the defender and Ryan_the_Shadow down for the scrapper, leaving the tank and blaster available (hopefully for husband/wife team). BTW, this is a group project so if you don't feel 100% comfortable rping a female, we can work that out. Hell, the group can be four brothers if you want. You guys email me (here) if you want the builds to discuss.
BTW, despite the challeneg this group will present to those used to min/maxing (less than optimized scrapper, damage types pretty much only energy and smashing, etc.), there are some VERY good tactics built into this group as each AT fills its role. Hell, the bubbles from the defender and controller alone will grant everyone sick defense and mez protection.
Hmm... intriquing to say the least. Though I guess Khelds aren't int he books huh? Shame, I love mine. Having had my fill of Eng blasters as Froststar got me to 50, and never being able to focus on a Scrapper, I'd have to go with my preferences being the Defender, the Tanker (just for something radically different) then the Controller.
Though in honesty, my playtime shifts as my workdays rotate throughout the week and weekend. Then there are times I would like to play my other cadre of RP girls. Still, the idea intriques me greatly.

My play schedule is a little wacky at the moment, but this concept intrigues me and I'd love to take on the Tanker role if you can't find a husband/wife team.

I will defenatly be able to post after school round 2:30 most days, thats eastern 
that sounds pretty cool!
i love the idea people on these boards come up with!
VERY RARELY am i on a team with only 5 ppl (with all 5 ATs) but its fun as hell when it happens! Im frequently a controller when that happens and it so fun to just lock down a mob and watch the team go to work! it even makes frostfire bareable when im on a team like that.
Anyway, great idea. Hope it turns out to be the best group on the server!

<-- boy
Well, just so ya know, its been..I dunno...Maybe around a week or so, and I am still willing to be the defender...Will be checking in by Sunday or Monday, so hopefully by then the husband/wife thing will be found!
If tigerslife800 plays the blaster, and Arashi plays the defender, we may be able to get this off the ground...
((I dunno, just thinkin'))

It really doesn't look like we are gonna find a husband/wife team, so I think Zoocreeper's idea is just about the best we have (Even though I would prefer to be the defender over blaster, but will be blaster if need be.) So, I will be checking up on this in the next few days, see how things are going. Hope to see you all in-game within a week or two!
Ok
I will be anything you guys have left! i just want in on this and my play times are not a problem. Assign me a toon and I'm all for it!
Umm...Its been like, 3 or 4 weeks since Wiggz posted, which is kinda concerning me...Just a random check up -- How many of you are still interested in this?
Err... i think that i might just have to drop out of this cuz i really don't see this happening
Im gonna wait another week, so...Thursday next week, whatever day that is, soooo, if Wiggz aint posted by then, I'm gonna drop out to...
This is something I've always wanted to do. I'm putting together a pentad (5 person team representing each of the CoH archtypes) connected by a common theme and rp background. The goal is to play together (my idea is at a weekly scheduled time, though it could certainly be more often) with these characters from level 1 to eventually level 50, experiencing all that the game has to offer, be it badges, TF's, whatever.
I'm a bit of a build specialist, so the new characters are still optimized within themselves but have a great deal of 'personality' inherent in their builds.
I originally put this together using optimal builds that would absolutely maximize their effectiveness together with little or no regards towards rp, but I thought perhaps it would be a bit more challenging and a bit more fun to approach it from a role-playing angle. Not to do so would, in my opinion, be to rob yourself of a powerful facet of the game and I want this group to be able to have it all.
Here is the concept:
In a distant part of the galaxy existed a world unlike any other. A community of five trillion souls from several races living on a Dyson Sphere built around a binary star. Constructed millenia ago, this world had evolved into a haven of enlightenment and research, of cooperation and multi-culturalism on a scale no where else imagined. Until one of the stars began to show signs of going super-nove, threatening them all. Every effort was made to stop the collapse, but that proved beyond even their technological achievements. It was then that one of the Celestines took action... minutes before the final explosion and collapse of the star, one of the Celestines, the entities who act as caretakers for the galaxy, sacrificed itself to rejuvenate the star and preserve the great community.
Each Celestine is served by a being known as a Celestial Guardian, chosen from among the intelligent races to commune with its essence and serve its will. The female guardian honored to serve this particular Celestial entity managed to preserve a shard of its essence against their most sacred laws, so fearful was she that it would be lost forever. She feld to the furthest reaches of known space to hide, and to find a vessel suitable for the treasure she carried.
Finally, she sought refuge on the planet Earth, a planet in a system as yet unadvanced enough to have been contacted by the Celestial Consortium and thus far beneath their notice. It was here that an echo of the great entity begun to call out to those it favored, those it sensed would have a need for what little it had yet to give. For reasons unknown, members of the Master's family began to share the same dreams and eventually sought out the Celestial Guardian even as she was compelled to find them. The moment they met, the last shard of the great entity's esence burst forth, infusing each of them and then faded away forever...
The Guardian, her powers now far diminished due to the loss of her entity has vowed to stay with the inheiritors of the Celestine and guide them as they begin to learn just what has taken place... and what significance it carries.
Here is the cast of characters (and their AT's):
Dr. Masters (Inv/Eng Tank)
Dr. Abraham Masters is a professor of Astrophysics, or was before the transformation. He is the moral center and conscience of the group, leading it by example as much as anything else. He is logical but compassionate and his sense of self-sacrifice often tests the limits of his 'invulnerability'.
Laura Masters (Eng/Eng Blaster):
Laura is Dr. Master's wife and worked in his lab on the campus at Cal-Berkley before the transformation. She is brilliant, beautiful and dedicated to taking care of her husband when his heroics get him in over his head... or when he gets so lost in his research that he forgets to eat.
* If possible, I would LOVE for an actual husband and wife team - which seem quite common in CoH - to take on these roles. Who better, right?
Alicia Castellen, aka 'Allucia' (Force Field/Energy Defender)
Taking the name of her beloved grandmother, Alicia is Laura's twin sister, a woman who spent her life working at a children's hospital before the transformation. Her reunion with her sister was a happy one, if under very unusual circumstances. She has been the most affected by the experience, absolutely dedicated to using her new-found powers to protect others, but inwardly terrified of what it might mean.
Johnny Masters (Martial Arts/Super Reflexes Scrapper)
Johnny is the enigma of the group, hot-headed and impetuous. The manifestation of his powers was internal, accelerating his metabolism and reactions beyond the point of being super-human. His perceptions were also increased, allowing him at times to actually 'sense' things before they happen. More than any other, he has embraced what has happened, though his acceptance of the inherrent responsibility seems to be lacking. (For you scrappers out there, he is designed as a super-speedster, rather than a traditional scrapper - just so you know what you're getting in to).
Celestial Guardian (Gravity/Force Field Controller)
The Guardian, whose real name is Shi'allis Achtu'lan remains with the group always, guarding and guiding them as they learn the extent of their newfound abilities. Their preservation is all that matters to her for in them, her Celestine lives still. (In all liklihood this is the character I would run, though I'd be willing to take on another if it was necessary to get the group going).
I have the costumes already planned and I think it would be fun to make the level 20 costume option a 'plain clothes' concept for when the group isn't out fighting crime. Of course I am open to any and all ideas once the final group comes together as - more than anything - I want this to be a team concept. Anyone who is interested, please respond here or drop me an email - I would like to fill each slot with a character who has some degree of experience with that AT/powerset, but that is not absolutely necessary. What IS necessary is a desire to rediscover (or continue) your love for the game and all that it has to offer, a decent amount of availability and commitment and a team-first attitude.
Thanks!
