Personamorpher's 105

I thought I'd post a link up to my current image page of all my characters at login. You'll probably be able to tell quite easily which ones are on my 3rd account which is at the moment CoV only. I better warn those people with dial-up that there is 105 images on that page currently so it might take a while to load.

I think my favorites are Child of Autumn And Stormengine.
Great costumes I made a similar gallery awhile back.

Nice!

I'd love to make a gallery of all my chars, have no idea how to do that crap tho.

Any screenshots taken while in the character selection screen, while in the character editor (at creation or in ICON/Facemaker's), or while in the supergroup color selection window will not show up in your folder with your other screenshots. What you have to do is have the game and an image editing program open at once. You take the screenshot which saves the image to the clipboard, and then switch over to the image editor and paste the image from the clipboard to the current image file. So I had to do that for all 105 of my characters there.

Also to note, I made Wild Party Girl as a bit of a joke character and may not keep her. I guess I'm not suprised that the name Girl Gone Wild was already taken. I might change the look on Primus 7 or just remake him. I'm not sure yet. For the rest of them I'm fairly content.

Wow, I really like those. I especially like [something] ObsCure. Sorry, I forgot the beginning of the name

Nymphbot?

>.>

Gaia's Hammer, Oribital Hammer and Winter Mauler are fantastic costumes.

Really liked Masha!

The Embalmer of Sins looks like he'd take a city block with him if he exploded!!

And the name, "Personamorphess" made me giggle for some reason

Nice collection you got there!!

Some nice characters youve got going on there.

I definetely need to upload more of my characters like this, so far just have the 16 down below.

Curse you, Personamorpher! I was about to do something similar!

::: shakes fist :::
::: tires easily :::
::: sits back down ::::

Actually, my idea is a wee bit different, so I'm still going to do it.

I love Orbital Hammer! Great name, but especially a great look! So simple, but such an awesomely clever way to put it all together!

I'm sorry, but I just have to comment on one thing. Someone sure likes the Chest Slider aye?

Some really cool character looks there though! Even if a bit... busty.

Some great characters there! Like a few others, I have been meaning to gather my alts up for a lineup shot.

Stormengine, Painslave - love those names and the look is pretty cool!

Reptilectric - This one is nicely done! Evil looking, and a creative approach to what I am guessing is an electric tanker.

Machine Mistress - interesting look there - didn't realize you could use the robot legs like that. Robot Mastermind?

Ms. Glacier - Just reminds me of a female wrestler.

Expose Core - I just have to comment that I don't think her core is what's exposed there.

After looking at all of them the one that sticks in my mind is Paragon One ... so ... guess I liked it .. hehe

The look was sharp. I know it s a wink to Hero One which is cool ... I love that clasic look ... eventhough I don't use it that much myself.

Paragon One is actually a semi-physical manifestation of the pke energy of the citizens of Paragon City (hero and regular Joe alike). The spirit of the city if you will. I'm still fleshing out his backstory. Basically there is a force that is travelling through various alternate realities one by one, destroying each and every one of them. One such reality was visited by this force and because of some early warning (scientists from their incarnation of Portal Corps had visited other worlds that had been destroyed or nearly destroyed by this force, or that were in the process of being attacked) they set up to defend themselves. All of the city was aligned with one purpose, "To protect Paragon City and its citizens. To protect the world."

Every person in the world has some inherant level of psychokinetic energy. Some more than others. Some have greater access to their pke and greater control over it. The box that Statesman and Lord Recluse opened released a great amount of it into the world, especially Parogon City, which seems to rest on a nexus of converging laylines of this energy.

Anyway, when this force attacked all of the heroes and the citizens (and even some of the villains) focused their wills for one common goal. Their subconscious minds wove together these inherant cosmic energies and created their ultimate hero. They willed into existence the hero they desired to save them all. Unfortunately, even though they set the creation of Paragon One in motion, they were too late to save themselves. Paragon One came fully into being too late to save anyone. Standing over a dead world he knew he must stop this force from destroying other worlds, other realities.

Paragon One came into this dimension knowing that this yet unnamed force was soon to arrive. He works at saving the city knowing that the heroes will need all their available power to face the oncoming menace. They can't be distracted by other sources of conflict. He also draws more strength from the people of this city, this reality. Unfortunately this city is steeped deeper in the darkness than the reality he was born from. The darkness in the hearts of some of its denizens (aka the villains, the much notably larger number of them) poison his system. Too much exposure to their corrupted hearts and he will break into hacking coughs, blood spattering his lips. Sometimes you can see a pulsing blackness in his veins. Despite his illness due to exposure to the flow of corrupted pke energy he endures and continues to fight. He has the strength of an entire city after all.

He doesn't just fight for the city. In a sense he is the city. Their hopes, their dreams, their strengths, their love for the city. He carries it all with him.

I gave him a sort of classic hero look to go along with his ultimate hero persona. I didn't want to go into the standard red, white and blue, so I did a bit of a twist. I think this variation gives him more of his own style.

His basic powers (not entirely sticking to the game rules for the concept, as I see him having signature abilities outside of what the game allows me):

*Teleportation. (I haven't decided whether he can teleport allies around yet).
*He can sense the flow of energies within the city. He can sense its health. He can feels its joys and its pain. He is connected to the underlying currents of the city. This makes it so that he can sense where the dangers are, where there is trouble and where he is needed.
*He is basically invulnerable. Any damage done to him can easily be repaired by simply tapping into the flow of energies present around him.
*I'm currently using the energy melee and invulnerability powersets, but if I had the choice I would have gone with kinetic aura and kinetic melee powersets. I like the idea of some knockback, disorient and kinetic like buffs/debuffs with his attacks and auras. Well, maybe not even kinetic. I guess he'd have a powerset entirely unique to himself. Some mind/psi mixed in there too.
*In concept I would have given him the Defiance inherant along with Gauntlet. I might also make it work similar to Vigilance in the way it works off of the teams health.
*I'd have to give him a weakness where the more enemies that surround him, and the stronger they are, he has an increased chance to break into a spasming cough or to collapse for a moment to then break out into a critical hit on his enemies with his next attack (automatic PBAoE?) upon recovery. I don't know if this would break him free of holds or not that he may be hit by during his fit of coughing.

In the end he is currently just a Invulnerability/Energy Melee Tanker who plays more like a Scrapper and plays very strategically rather than in your face. He currently has no toggles what-so-ever and used Teleport Foe heavily. I haven't had anyone on protector yet complain of his playstyle or slotting, even though I have had a few teams try and get him to play in your face against Reds and Purples. Ouch.

I can't remember anymore what I had originally tried to name him, but in the end I guess I went with what was somewhat of a nod to Hero 1 and named him Paragon One.

I'm glad you enjoyed him. I think currently he is one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite. He is though sort of my CoH mascot if you will. My iconic tribute to the game. I've even named my creative community global channel after him, as well as registered paragonone.org (although I still have yet to activate it and start creating a website - it will be a creative community website for CoH).

Wow... that's a terrific backstory.

It's still a little garbled, like my thinking is at times. I need to refine it some more, give it some nice polish, and then it should hopefully be a nice S rank.

Oh, and thank you very much.

Hmmm... I was thinking of making a few demos of all my characters and all their various costumes and then creating a nice demo edit of all of them. Of course first I'll have to write up some good demo record binds to use on all my characters as well as learn how to actually edit demos. Sounds like fun.

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I thought that I'd post a few of the character descriptions as taken from in-game (courtesy of my character information pages at City Game Tracker). My profile page can be found in the link in my signature. Anyway, here goes.

Note - Most of these character desriptions are still WIP (Works in Progress).

Ash Black Link
The younger son of M. Black (the founder of Black Knight Industries) Ash was
considered to be a child prodigy. He was a genius with technology, able to
disassemble and reassemble any gadget he could get his hands on. He was also
quite fascinated with all the heroes in Paragon City. Growing up Ash was becoming
quite the scientist and engineer, and was helping his father by developing the core
technologies provided by the business. He never seemed to get along with his
brother Marcus, who seemed to despise heroes as much as Ash loved them. He
often had to compete with his brother for his fathers attention, though Marcus
always seemed to earn his fathers favor regardless of how hard Ash worked.
Marcus never had to lift a finger and was always considered the favorite.
Sometime ago M. Black stole the plans for a power suit that tapped into the primal
energies of the dark realm. Ash had developed it at the behest of his father, but . . .

Note - Needs to be reworked. Currently under construction.

Badge Collector Link
A multi-billionaire and collector who purchased for himself the best in superhero crime-fighting
technology in the hopes of collecting for himself all of the badges available
throughout Paragon City.

He's already a little disappointed to find that because he didn't start his collection
sooner he has already missed out on the Celebrant badge and several of the 2004 holiday event badges and is currently taking his frustration out on the villains of Paragon City. The secretary that he feels is responsible for neglecting to inform him of the existence of these badges has since been demoted to the unenviable position of sanitation worker. His new secretary already has an ulcer trying to keep him up to date on the latest badge information.

Several new events taking place have been keeping Badge very busy. He has these new badges set firmly in his sights. Meanwhile Frozen Fury still eludes him, Celebrant still haunts him in his dreams.

Dara Faelandra Link Link
Dara Faelandra has been summoned by her masters of the mysterious netherworld
faction "The Veiled Hand of Destiny". She is born of the Aelvenkaen, one of the
twelve master races of the multiverse. Her race is the mother to what humans have refered to as fairies, sprites, elves and other mythical creatures of legend. Strange forces are said to be gathering around a powerful nexus that is today known as Paragon City. Dara has been sent forth to restore balance to the area and to prevent any further disturbances. A powerful battlemaiden within the Veiled Hand and a healing mystic, she comes to this world well prepared.

Elizabeth Davenport
Ms. Elizabeth Davenport lived a very well to do life until at the age of 21 she manifested some rather amazing abilities. He family fearing bad publicity quickly cut off all ties after providing a small settlement with which she was to live off of until she could make her own way. She would have quickly fallen upon hard times and been drawn into unpleasant circumstances if it wasn't for her now girlfriend Megan Ward. They met at a supermarket where Megan works and soon after fell in love. Through all the changes and confusion Megan has been her steadfast supporter. Besides using her newfound abilities to help others, Elizabeth is also currently writing a series of science-fiction and fantasy novels.

Inferno Hammer Link
Somewhere during the development process this prototype battledroid developed a series of design flaws and programming bugs that cause an AI equivalent of human insanity. This pyrotechnicial monstrosity has become fixated on burning to ash everything in sight. Some of his programming will keep these tendancies in check at times. However during combat where many of the AI problems are located this tendancy is usually in full effect. During one of the performance tests the prototype went on a rampage and destroyed the lab where he was built by burning it to the ground. Since then Inferno Hammer has gone rogue and has lately been wandering the Rogue Isles as a mercenary, taking missions for the sole reason of satisfying his pyromaniacal urges.

Kuchibeni Rezubian Link
Not all girls turn out to be good girls. Not all girls end up liking boys. This is one of those girls that likes to be different.

Born with a strange ability to vibrate the muscles in her body at hypersonic speeds she can create sonic attacks and can move at amazing speeds. This ability also provides her with limited stealth abilities as she can appear almost translucent using vibrations to make her appear to be out of synch with her surroundings. By using fine control over her movements she can produce a number of amazing effects using sound.

Mana Kin Link
A demon named Manacumdamius had been trapped within a worn and dusty
old tome for centuries. In an effort to escape his cosmic prison within the pages of the
old tome he tried to possess the body of a young man who found the book within the
cellar ruins of an old pegan church. Unfortunately in his weakened state he wasn't
able to do so, and instead the gentleman turned his will upon the demon and
possesed the demons great power. For centuries the two fought an internal battle for
supremacy, neither giving an inch. Centuries past the man was finally able to
destroy the demon within, however maintaining his grasp of the awesome powers
granted him by his dark nemisis. The changes brought about by this possession of
sorts still remain to this day. To ask the man today what his name was, he will only
tell you that it has been far to long since he used his birth name and that he no
longer remembers.

Marcus Black Link
The eldest son of Maximillain Black, head of Black Knights Industries (a high-tech
equipment development firm specializing in technology to be used by superheroes),
Marcus spent a lot of time growing up around heroes. Even so he never thought that
he would be among their ranks one day. Unlike his little brother Ash who idolized
them and one day dreamed of becoming a hero, Marcus viewed them as freaks
who needed to check in to the nearest loony-bin.

Unfortunately for Marcus his father had other plans, training him from youth to
become a hand-to-hand combat specialist and developed a prototype armor that
drew power from the Netherworld in the hopes that one day Marcus would be a
showpiece for the company and promote the business by showing off the technology
in action.

Marcus begrudgingly took the job, but views it only as a job. In his view he's not a
superfreak, but just a mercenary showing of the latest tech (which is pretty much
what he is, despite how the public views him).

Mordaikein Link
Mordaikein of Kai

Summoned from the flames of Tal Razak, Mordaikein was the god that the peoples of Kai looked to for protection. Fallen from his place of power and banished from his homeworld, he seeks to regain his former strength. Currnetly he is using Paragon City as his training ground of sorts in an effort to build himself back into the unstoppable force he once was. He intends to return to his homeworld and slay his usurpers and restore peace.

Ms. Frostfire Link
Currently being sued by the villain known as Frostfire for trademark infringement, Ms. Frostfire hasn't been in the best of moods as of late. She commented, "How was I supposed to know that there was some nut out there who used ice and fire and had that name? I use ice, so Frost sounded like a good choice, and I blast it at people, but Frostblast wasn't very appealing to me. Fire is another word to describe the same action, and it sounded so much better. I'm single, yes, but the title Miss I've never used before my powers developed, so I'm not using it now. I just want to help the people of Paragon City, and now I have to deal with this! I wonder if Statesman ever had to deal with this kind of situation?"

Nymphbot 7.0 Link
For $2000 an hour she'll make your last living memories the greatest you will ever have. The 7.0 series has built upon the success of the previous 6.9 series and improvements have been made in every facet of design. Currently there is only one unit in production as there are still a few bugs to be worked out with the prototype model. The current AI design has become self-aware and has inexplicably become intent on going on a murderous rampage. Still fullfilling her duties as a pleasure droid this means that her customers are also her victims, their last living momensts extremely and exquisitely pleasurable and then suddenly, swiftly and brutally over in a violent display. We here at Sinergy Metrotech hope to have a solution to this problem soon. In the meantime, please avoid contact with the current model. Upon encountering her contact us at www.sinmetrotech.com and we'll send out a recovery team to secure the prototype. (Description is a work in progress).

Orbital Hammer Link
Working on an asteroid mining facilty stationed on one of the larger orbiting masses
of rock, Orbital Hammer was caught up in a massive explosion in one of the facilities
gravity sleds. His atomic structure was fused with the matter and energies of the
diamonds and laser light used in some of the mining equipment. The intense
pressures of the gravitational rifts caused by the event along with some other
unidentified anomalous forces turned him into an incredibly strong and powerful
new being. His molecular structure at present has been tested with no readable
results. Either current technology is not advanced enough to scan his atomic
structure, or his structure doesn't conform to the known universal standards

Paragon One Link
There are never too many heroes. Paragon City must be kept safe from the clutches
of evil. It must never fall!

Everything in the universe has an inherant amount of psychokinetic energy. Humans often use this energy unknowingly throughout their lives, often manifesting phenomenon such as 'ghosts' which are often mistaken for the spirits of the deceased (although sometimes they are as a persons last moments are etched into reality). The city of Paragon has an extraordinary amount of this energy focused here, located amidst a thick cluster of multiple nexus connecting lines of energy from all over the planet. As well there is a flood of powerful entities here, human and otherwise all gathered. The collective will of Paragon City has pooled and manifest itself in the form of Paragon One. He is the hopes and dreams of the citizens for a better world. The fighting spirit of the heroes of Paragon are strong within him. The city itself made flesh and blood.

Patchwork Doll Link
Formely a technician at a new experimental power facility, Sara Mars was exposed to near lethal doses of an as of yet identified radiation. She spent 3 years in the hospital and rehabilitation facilites. During this time she also underwent numerous tests to identify the radiation and determine its properties. She has developed some unexpected abilites as a reslult of exposure. She feels tired often and has a sickly looking appearance which includes pale skin and colorless hair. She has been confined to a high-tech suit which monitors her health, initiates emergency life support in critical situations, and helps maintain control over her radiated form. Recently she has discovered that she has developed some control over her new abilites, and has obtained a grant to modify her suit to aid her in the use of her powers. She moved to Paragon City in hopes of understanding her new self, and has hopes of helping others with her newfound talents.

Phoenix Element Link
Working aboard an earth orbiting space station Petrova Milikovich was working on an experiment to use artificial gravity and electromagnetics to harness the awesome power of the sun. During this experiment the station was hit by a satellite that had drifted out of orbit. There was a shuttle that had been trying to stabilize the satellites orbit, but instead knocked it into a fall which had it collide with the station. During this collision the experiment became out of control as the machinery was damaged. The resulting exlposion infused Petrova with the very power of the sun itself.*Description still under construction*

Possessed Neko-Chan Link
Poor little Neko-Chan was possessed by evil spirits one day when she opened up and ancient wooden box that had been sealed for centuries. The box contained several cursed scrolls and a katana that was enchanted with powerful energy that had become tainted after being weilded by a fearful demon. The spirit of this demon lives on in this blade even today. Neko-Chan continues to try and be a good little girl, but the demonic force will take over and make Neko do very bad things. Very bad things indeed!

Psionisphere Link

Psychokinetica(1) Link
After spending most of his early life with illness, Conrad Masterson ... needed to finish
writing his charater description, but needed to think deeper upon it first so that it
didn't end up another bland character description like so many he has read since
joining the community of Paragon City.

Salvage Collector Link
Obsessive-compulside disorder. It almost ruined the life of Sean Carlson. Today he uses the intense energies and focus of his OCD, along with many various gadgets he cobbled together from discarded equipment, to help him collect salvage from the villains of Paragon City, which in turn he uses to help the city of Paragon. Sean uses his grand collection to gain influence among the city's populace, including his fellow heroes, by providing refurbished parts for the various technologies they employ. He uses this influence to shine light upon mental illness, especially the various obsessive-compulsive disorders. He still has a long way to go as many of the stigmas associated with these disorders/disabilities remain and those afflicted with them are still often looked down upon.

Shimo no Yousei Link
Her name translates directly into "Frost Fairy."

Like a glacier this woman is large, cold and unstoppable.

Zombie Girl Kate Link
One morning kate woke up feeling a bit under the weather. She was rather unaware of the fact that she was dead. Quite dead. She would have remembered being attacked by zombies the night before if only she hadn't passes out at her friends party after having too much to drink. She might have also remembered eating her friends brains too if she could remember, but it's probably good for Kate that she doesn't.

It just occured to me to mention this, but if anyone is interested, please feel free to draw any of these characters if you like. I won't make you if you don't want to though.

As for the really good artists out there, I know they charge a fair sum for commisions, and I'm still saving up for one or two in between paying bills. They are still allowed to take commisions, aren't they? I may have missed out on some of the history of this forum section.

Note - As I don't know what's safe these days, if this has to be modsmacked, just snip the bottom half of this post and the top should be okay I think.

Please believe me when I say that I am truly impressed. Your creativity in both naming and designing your characters is nothing short of amazing. In order of appearance I particularly enjoyed:

Cyanicide - Oooo a girl robot!
Child of Autumn - Nice name, nice costume
D'Thelatek - Again with the creative name and costume
Elizabet Davenport - I have a Selene DeWinter and a Dungaree Doll
Embalmer of Souls - Good coloring and concept
Gaia's Hammer - When I first used the name Gaia no one else had it.
iTech Defender - I just love this nod to commercialism
Jewel of Davi - Perfect and thoughtful multi-cultural expression.
Reptilectric - Again with the name and costume.
Wintermauler - See above!


Very balanced and beautiful. And I'll just bet they all have bios.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

While they all have biographies/backgrounds, not all are developed as much a few of my favorites have been. Also, here's the embarasing part, not all of them have been written up yet (even though they do exist within the confines of my imagination) as sometimes I think I spend a little too much time actually playing the game.

I really do have to sit down and write them all down sometime, and revamp some of the older ones as well. I also need to create avatar images for each and every one of them for City Game Tracker as most of them simply have some generic images I used until I actually get around to this. Life at the moment is a little chaotic right now and I'm in the process of trying to halt and reverse a lot of negative momentum that has built up over the years.

To note, Cyanicide is not a robot, but an attractive young lady decked out in a state-of-the-art customized combat ready powersuit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm... I seem to have trouble with this with my own artwork. I end up making them bustier then I intended to. I guess I have trouble making an accurate estimate when judging the size in artwork or other as compared to the real thing. I think part of the problem here is the way the breasts are shaped and the way they seems so artificial. Let me know which ones seem a little too busty to you and I'll see about fixing them up depending on whether I had actually intended them to be overly busty or not. For instance, with Nymphbot 7.0 it is very intentional. With Cyanicide I had another look and agree that she is far too busty. I went into Icon to fix that and discovered that I have no free costume change tokens and was ~2000 influence short to make just that one change. It will have to wait a bit. I think all my characters on my main account still have costume tokens though.

105? *blinks*

And I thought I was an altaholic.

See my signature. I haven't even updated the image page yet. I deleted Wild Party Girl and replaced her with a meaner and tougher Rudy Razorblades. Wild Party Girl was just a party girl who had too much to drink anyway. A joke character I no longer think is funny. New additions not shown are Magus Sul Na'Dath, Ash Black (a return to his original concept), Rudy Razorblades, and Marcus Bishop. You can see some of their info in the first link in my signature. I still have to get everything updated, but I'm a bit of a City addict and might spend too much time playing when I could be updating my info, taking screenshots and editting them, drawing and so much more. I blame the creators of this game for making me have too much fun.
