1.) Natural MA Scrapper
2.) Probably Dragon's Tail
3.) Dragon's Tail trips all the mobs around you and knocks then down/up/sometimesback.
4.) Malta Sappers. Surely no explanation required.
1. Snowman Frost. Magic Blaster.
2. Blizzard
3. A powerfull gush of ice, hail and snow pours down from above, knocking enemies to the ground. This causing sever frostbite, disrupt electrical systems and cause blunt trauma.
4. Any foe that uses fire attack (least favourite for roleplay purpose)
1) For your main toon only, taking into account that you're high level and not at current SG levels, what is your namesake's origin and Archetype?
Operative Bane, Natural Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu stalker
2) When facing the first mob of the room, or one of those giant open rooms with like 4 groups of mobs, what is your favorite first attack?
Assassin Strike. >.> Or if the mobs are lined up well, I'll lead with Golden Dragonfly.
3) Please give me the name, what the animation looks like on your end, and or what happens to the mob when it hits them.
Assassin Strike: Operative Bane ducks low, aims for a second with his sword then stabs his blade into (preferably the back) of the victim.
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Favorite: PPD Least favorite: Knives of Artemis.
1) Spraymarrow, Mutant Stalker
2) Spine Burst from Hide (no, really!)
3) After a three-second squat, the giant zit pops, and everyone within a few feet of the attacker staggers backward and is impaled with spines.
4) Favorite - Freakshow. Least favorite - Rikti.
1.) magic defender
2.) fearsome stare
3.) bends over a bit with arms semi sread, open palmed iirc, witha skull appearing before him screaming at the enemy
4.) anything that throws caltrops, i hate caltrops.
The Famous Frosty Femme
1. Mutant Ice/Ice Blaster
2. Ice Storm
3. She raises her arms to the sky and calls a freezing rain which slows and does damage over time to my enemies while they scatter trying to escape.
4. Favorite: 5th Column (I know they're pretty much gone, but I want them back. Who can resist beating up Nazis?) Least Favorite: Circle of Thorns (I hate those damn ghosts)
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.
1-Inifnit Core
2-wormhole
3-her hands are held back (as though she is about to push something). off in to the distance then enemy find themselves swarmed with glowing lights. she pushes her arms and hand forward. then enemy fall from the sky and bounce on the ground. (i laugh almost every time i do this.) and they walk around dazed and confused. then i throw random things at them. a car, fork lift, pool table, a shoe......
4- those damn carnies. I mean, i get 1 pet. the carnie boss gets like 6.... and 3 of the pets that it summons can't even be damaged. i had a easier time beating masterminds then them.
and fav?....every other villains in especially in pvp
1) For your main toon only, taking into account that you're high level and not at current SG levels, what is your namesake's origin and Archetype?
HemilyTiger, Mutant Scrapper (Katana/SR)(roleplayed as a Nodachi instead of a katana)
2) When facing the first mob of the room, or one of those giant open rooms with like 4 groups of mobs, what is your favorite first attack?
The Lotus Drops
3) Please give me the name, what the animation looks like on your end, and or what happens to the mob when it hits them.
The Lotus Drops: Hemily draws her Nodachi(Katana) jump up in the air, and swirl her sword around as she land crouching, doing damage to everyone around her (AoE for the win!)
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Favorite: Freakshow (double exp if they get back up! yey!)
Least favorite: Carnies and their ebil end sucking death! it's bad against us poor toggleaddictive SR scrappers 
1. Massacre Melanie - Magic Fire/Dark Corruptor
2. Fearsome Stare, though she never faces less than 3 whole spawns at the same time. Single target? What's that?
3. Mel goes "ooga booga" and everyone cowers like babies.

The Guide to BURN
I answered this over on DA, but thought I might put it here too 
1) For your main toon only, taking into account that you're high level and not at current SG levels, what is your namesake's origin and Archetype?
Dark Kerse, magic dark defender.
2) When facing the first mob of the room, or one of those giant open rooms with like 4 groups of mobs, what is your favorite first attack?
In a team, i would probably start out with the dark snipe, moonbeam. In a solo situation, I would start out with Tenembrous tentacles, holding them in place.
3) Please give me the name, what the animation looks like on your end, and or what happens to the mob when it hits them.
Tenembrous Tentacles - The user holds their arms out, a wave of black smoke snakes across the ground, it reaches towards the target, covering it and anything in its path with immobilizing tentacles.
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Favorite would be the Council, they are so easy to beat! My least favorite would be the Carnival of Shadows... Their masks are a nuisance and the bosses that can phase shift and put on multiple holds are just...just... 
1) Acoustic Delusions- Magical Illusions/Sonics
2) I'd have to go with Phantom Army/Phantasm
3) AD raises his hands high in the air and in seconds 3 nondescript humanoid forms appear in the middle of a mob and start attacking
4)Favorite group: the ones that are dead. but if I must choose, um.......nope, sorry. I dont ever look forward to one mob of the oher.
Least fav: Carnies, definitly Carnies.
1) FelFox (stalker Claw/Dark)
2) Focus (*from hide* especialy on greens )
3) Fel bounds right up to the target and just lets her claws shoot forward, impaling the target and sending the totaly shocked target flying on his butt or several feet back.
4) favorite is carnies, all that silly psi damage and end sucking does nothing as they go flying from a clawy onslaught =^^= Worst are Crey 35+ all those tank armors and energy attacks just hurt my claws and armor...

Okay here's the thing, rather then me clicking on everyone's name and doing all this research myself, I thought I'd ask you guys some questions.
Your answers will most likely appear in some form in Friday's City of Nuts strip, or editorialized by me... so here we go -
1) For your main toon only, taking into account that you're high level and not at current SG levels, what is your namesake's origin and Archetype?
2) When facing the first mob of the room, or one of those giant open rooms with like 4 groups of mobs, what is your favorite first attack?
3) Please give me the name, what the animation looks like on your end, and or what happens to the mob when it hits them.
For instance, my favorite is Foot Stomp, everyone in a 10ft radius goes flying!
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Thanks in advance!

(I could have made this up as I went along, but lately I realize it's very important to not only get your facts straight, but to include as much personal realism to these toons as possible...)

I'll edit this later for completeness. Psionic Lance. Sorry about the triple post on your dA page, but dA is being a pain for me lately. 503 erros, 404 errors, and "not currently available" crud.
So, sorry.
"If I fail, they write me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart." --- George A. Romero
"If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating" --- Adam Savage
Virtue Server: Kheprera, Malefic Elf, Lady Omen, Night Rune, La Muerte Roja, Scarab Lafayette, Serena Ravensong, Kyrse, and Arachnavoodoo among others.
1) Kilotonnage SS/SA Science Tanker
2) I like to Teleport into the middle of the pack with Mudpots and Rage running and Taunt the Boss.
3) Taunt looks like the Bruce Lee finger wave beckoning "Come get some" The mob has spidey sense like lines appear over its head and immediately turns its attention to me.
4) Favorite mobs to face are my Troll brethren and least favorite without a doubt, Carnie Illusionists/Master Illusionists.
1) Turbo-Ski, Ice/Cold Mutation Corruptor and Ice/Icy Mutation Dom
2) Freeze Ray/Block of Ice.
3) Icy beam hits the enemy and freezes them in a giant block of ice.
4) I love fighting Longbow! I hate fighting Council Warwolves (damn immunity to slow)
1) Kadmon, Broadsword/Regen/Dark Master Scrapper
2) Disembowel
3) Uppercuts the target with his left hand, then brings the sword up with both hands, moving in an arc over his head, and ending on the ground in front of him with his back facing the original target, possibly cleaving whatever may have previously been behind him.
NOTE: OFFICIALLY, the animation is just swinging the sword from the ground to the air, sending the enemy flying. The above was just MY interpretation of it 
4) Kadmon hates the Circle of Thorns, so those would probably be his favorite enemies to fight. He hates Mu bosses even more though, so he doesn't really want to fight them

PPD Mastermind
Krar, the infamous 100 foot rock man packed into a 4 foot body
1) Mutant Tanker
2) Tremor
3) Jumps into the air, then drives both fists into the ground knocking back everyone
4) Least favorite: Sappers from the Malta group...just Sappers...they seem to be the only bastards that can actually take Krar down. Favorite is everyone else...Krar isn't biased
Roxstar: Mutation Tanker
I don't have a first attack I have an attack chain to make ultimately sure I have the mobs' attention. First I turn on mudpots & teleport into middle of mob. Then I fire off Tremor, Fault & Stalagmites. Of all of those Fault is my absolute favorite though!
Soon as I TP in they all look at me like who's this guy? Then they all popup into the air and hit the ground. As soon as they hit the ground Fault lands which sends them flying into the air again. Once they get done with all that and then get stuck with the shards of Stalagmites they are really pissed and I for sure have their attention.
Favorite? Uhh not sure, least favorite is easy though: CoT. That damn -recharge for a stone tank SUX!! I guess if I have to pick a favorite it'd be Hellions 'cause I can send 'em flying with Hurl Boulder hehe.
EDIT: Forgot to say how powers look...
Tremor: Jump into air and land with both fists in the ground.
Fault: Stomp the ground causing a localized earthquake.
Stalagmites: Stomp ground and have shards of rock shoot up from ground.
1. Red Switchblade - Claws / Invuln Scrapper
2. Shockwave - Cone AoE knockback.
3. Switch runs up to a group, says nothing. Whips her hand around like a frisbee toss and sends a shockwave into the lead enemy. Everyone sits there awkwardly for a second before they start getting flung back Earthquake style, one row after another as the knockback moves through.
4. I could use this all day on Freakshow. It's great imagining them getting impaled on each other as they toss around into their friends in the back row :P

My main's not really interested in being recognized, not even in such a cool strip. Mostly he'd just try to get his stuff done and get out of the way so that the cool kids have all the space they need to do their thing. (Technically he's a 50 FF/Psi/Psi Magic Defender since you asked.)

Setting aside unique AVs and GMs, I think my fav are carnies. Mostly they have a cartoonish creativity that's far more enjoyable than most groups. My least fav are malta auto turrets, (I like malta in general, even the saps are no problem, but those turrets hit every single weakness in my character.)
The one single thing I've grown to hate the most in CoX is that dumb 5-story boss room in the basic caves tileset. It takes so long to clear, and there are so many geometry wedges where mobs can remain completely unnoticed from players 5 ft away. And unlike many of the outright and inciteful bugs in the game, this room keeps punching me straight in the face over and over.
Oops, got a bit ranty there...
BlackberryThorn
1) Natural origin Mind Controller/Empath
2) Mass Hypnosis!
3) Hass Hypnosis from my point of view. I wave my arms out, and everyone in a huge radius takes a nap ^_^
4) Mostly anything robotic, or undead, as both groups tend to lack the brains to be afraid of me would be least favorite : p Difficult to put to sleep. Everything else I am good with ^_^
I can see forever 0.0
But I have a few mains... really...
Namesake, though, huh.... ok.
1. Mutation/Tank
2. Hop in to the first group, say hi with a KO blow.
3. Knockout blow. Rear back, getting a fist ready, swing into a nice uppercut that throws the mob a few feet (ok, many feet, over my head) into the air. First impressions are important, and I try to make a big one.
4. Normally council, but Devouring Earth break easily. Least favourite... hmm. Haven't had him against Malta yet, but he'll definitely not like those...
1) Sightless Shadow - Magic Claws/Dark Armor Scrapper
2) Focus
3) My scrapper uses an animation similar to that of throwing a base ball, a small wave of "energy" ripples through the ground at the target. Upon impact, the target is knocked down and a nice bright orange number appears above his/her head.
4) Favorite - Banished Pantheon / Least Favorite - Knives of Artemis
