OMG liek woah...another bandwagon

So, I'm totally just bandwagoning here. Because that's what all the cool kids are doing these days. I hear tomorrow will be leeches. I may fight the peer pressure on that. I'm still undecided though.

Instead of listing 2 million individual characters, I took the time today to get screenshots from character select and put them all in a single PhotoBucket gallery. So I'm just going to post the link to that gallery. Most of the characters have some sort of background and history. The ones that don't...well, that's really only because I haven't gotten around to filling in the details. All my characters are concept based so their archetype, powersets and background are already floating around in my head before I ever hit the costume creator.

Some are pretty simple, like Sewer Dragon has a roughly similar background to the Ninja Turtles. Brightspeed and Invulni-Wall are your basic mutants. Frosty Femme and Flaming Femme are twin mutants on opposite sides of the law.

Others are more complex. Black Jacket was a catburgler before gaining his powers. Wingspan is a former Sky Raider Engineer. Aerye is an alien birdman (still waiting on wings vet reward) trapped on Earth. Mega Marine is one of my patriotic characters. Liberty Teen is his sidekick and Kid Liberty Bell is her little brother.

And then there are the ones with no real background at all yet, like Pandara. The general idea behind her is that she's some sort of human incarnation of a panda. I like the look and the powerset, but still need to flesh out her background. Same with Pyromantia, she's a sorceress. But that's all I know about her. hehe

Anyway, here they are and I hope you guys enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Artists should, as always, feel free to draw any of them that they want. PM for any information requests.

My Characters


your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

Yeah, this was a gallery I threw together in the middle of all the other stuff I was doing today. I'm also kind of lazy and always forget to take screenshots while I'm playing. hehe

Thanks! He's an EM/EA Magic Brute. His story is that he sided with the British during the American Revolution and became trapped in another dimension by a Colonial Witch in Massachusetts. During his entrapment he found that he could absorb a portion of any magic used around him and gain some of that power for himself. His return to our dimension has left him violently angry, but his ideals have not changed. These are still colonies of the British Empire and he fully intends to restore British rule.

He was originally going to be named The American Tory, but I figured most people wouldn't get the reference.



And no, I'm totally not camping this topic waiting for replies. hehe

Dude, that is one of the raddest character ideas I have ever heard. Kudos!

I was actually going to ask if he had a daughter named "Tori" but figured no one would get it. I should've listened to my instincts!

Here's my token British guy: John Bull. His bio is really clumsy, but I haven't been back to fix it up since I created it.

That's actually pretty damn good if you ask me.

I'm gonna go ahead and throw this out there... I'm a sucker for anthropomorphs. I love the look of Pandara. Too bad there isn't a drunken master powerset or something.

Thanks! We're always hardest on ourselves, aren't we? I just went in and re-did John's bio, so now I'm happy with it. This is literally butting up against the space limit -- I had to change "left behind" to "abandoned" to get the extra space for the paragraph breaks and final period. Would've been even better if I'd actually spelled "abandoned" correctly. Oh well -- I'll fix it later.

John Bull, newest version.

Sorry for threadjacking -- just following the train of thought.

Skinking Colonial sympathizer! You and Thomas Payne shall burn!

Thanks for the props on X-Bowman. He certainly seems to be popular. Well, almost as popular as Frosty. Just not as sexy. hehe
