1) Turkey Lurkey, Natural MA/Regen Scrapper
2) Used to be Crane Kick, but I recently picked up Eagles Claw, and I been digging that.
3) CK - My foot + their face = short flight to K.O.'sville. EC - My foot + their face = I'm so fancy I make you dizzy.
4) Favorite - Arachnos and Skulls, Least Fave - CoT, Sky Raider Porters, and anybody on cave maps.
I don't expect to get in on this, I just wanted to get to my post count to 1300. 
However, TL would make and awesome Woodstock-esque character....just saying.
TL
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?
Kheprera, Level 30 Emp/Psi Magic 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?
Psionic Lance. It's got awesome range (one of the longest in the game), and I three slot for damage, one slot interrupt and recharge each, and haven't decided what to slot for the last one, another interrupt or recharge, or do a range or an accuracy. I'll try and pull as few as possible, especially if I'm soloing or going duo with my husband.
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.
Here's a screenshot of what the attack looks like.
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Fave: Circle of Thorns. I don't know why, but I just feel this insane desire to put the smackdown on them.
Least Fave: Hard choice. See, I don't have a 50, so I haven't really experienced any of the major villians yet. I'm going to have to go with the AVs though, as being my least fave. I went against one in a solo mission and had zero effect on them. Thanks again, Spino, for helping me with that one! Without his help, I would have never finished that mission.

"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) NPG, Level 50 Magic SS/INV tanker
2) Taunt
3) I say their [censored] are [censored] and they follow me to the end of the world.
4) Favourite : Nemesis. Least favourite : Sappers.
1.)IRON TRUCK rad/rad corr
2.)you gotta love a cosmic burst that makes them say"what the crap was that!?"
3.)hand extends, green goo comes out, hand de-extends
4.)favorite: freaks least fav: malta, who actually likes those guys?
it was throw up between cosmic burst and my laser eyes, but i just love how its extreme damage 
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?
Flareback (alien) Mutant- fire/fire/fire blaster
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?
Blazing Bolt (It has max HOs for Dmg, Range, and Acc)
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.
Blazing bolt looks like a streak of fire (kinda like a flaming bullet with tracers) zooming to the target. Then it explodes on impact.
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Love going against CoT because I own them. They try to put up a fight, but my fire abilities are too much for them in the long run.
My least fav are the carnies because those dang illusionists are sometime too difficult for me to handle. (I can only hold so many break frees)
PS: I also only did this to talk about my fav toon. I didn't need to be included in anything. And I'm one of those VERY few who does not have a problem with the Maltas. I just hated the Carnies and the Knives. I'm so glad the Knives had a small role in the game!
This is probably way too late but I'm gonna fill it out anyway because I have this strange survey filling out obsession...but we won't discuss that...
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? In the SG Larissa is a magic controller. The original is a magic blaster.
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? With Controller Larissa I like to lay down ice slick. With blaster Larissa I like to throw down Ice Storm
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. Both look like an ice storm with ice spreading across the ground and the enemies getting slowed and falling down. Ice slick isn't even, different splotches of ice. Ice storm is more like a large circle of effect.
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face... My favorite are the easy to kill kind...lol My least favorite are sky raiders because most of them are hovering and aren't affected by the power.
1) Magic Blaster
2) Inferno (after Aim and Build Up of course). I love my nuke and use it almost every time it's up.
3) ValkyrieRising curls up and bends over a bit, as if building up energy. She then explodes into a fireball, throwing her arms out wide. All the surrounding mobs are set on fire with embers and bits of fire around on the ground.
4) Favorite: Council. They line up so nicely
Least favorite: Carnies. They are not nice ladies! 
"A good Defender is the battle hardened Corpsman who will kill a Nazi with a tongue depressor while putting a splint on your leg, then hand you a fresh clip of ammo." ~Jock_Thompson
Repeat Offenders, TNT Profile, My little hero
1. Fire/Dark Brute
2. Fire Sword Circle (BU first, of course)
3. Swirls violently in the air, pulling out his fire sword cutting and burning everyone around him, while their scared out of their mind from his kickass cloak.
4. Favorite: Mobs, mobs, and mobs, otherwise no AoE goodness and no kickass heal
Least Favorite: Before i got acrobatics, pretty much every stinkin mob.
1. Replete BS/Regen/Body Scrapper
2. Headsplitter
3. With headsplitter I line em up and slam my sword on their heads sometimes killing a row of 4 to 5 enemies
4. Favorite is Arachnos, they just look cool and you feel good after beating em!
Least favorite would be Malta, I hate the sappers with a passion 
Gotta love the CB and Soul bit! Poor doggie....
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?
Soul Train is a level 42 Science 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?
It's a combo, thus:
Power Build Up
Aim
Teleport (or Team Teleport if on a team)
Fulcrum Shift
NOVA!
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.
Train Wreck:
Soul Train concentrates for a few seconds, as she taps into the kinetic potential of all the matter in the area... then suddenly vanishes and appears in the midst of the spawn (with friends!), saps off the strength of as many foes as she can... and then releases ALL the energy she's built up, sending her opponents flying in an earth-shattering KABOOM!!!
(then while she recuperates, the 'air-dropped' team cleans up whatever's left of the mess.)
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Most Favorite:
Carnival - They're a real challenge, but as long as I can keep them sapped and off their feet, they don't make life TOO difficult. Plus I love the costumes and the hedonistic background of the group. And yes, I DO have many Carnie characters!
Least Favorite:
Malta. I hate those metahuman-biased bastards with a passion. Especially Gunslingers. I can deal with pretty much everything else... but Gunslingers are the bane of my existence.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
1) Aurora Frost, lvl 43 mutation ice/ice/ice blaster
2) Bitter Freeze Ray (mostly cause this means I can blast him with no risk to myself Hey, I'm squishy!)
3) Bitter Freeze Ray - I raise my arms beside my head as I gather the ice to me, my arms shaking with the strain (it has a heck of a long activation time), and then I throw my arms forward shooting a powerful blast of ice at the mob, instantly freezing him in a block of ice.
4) Favorite- Carnival. Mostly because I plan to someday use the oportunity to sneak into their ranks so I can get my hands on their costume pieces.
Least Favorite - Circle of Thorns! I hate them and their stupid caves!
1.) Martian Bunny 32 Rad/Psy Science Defender
2.) Vengeance + Fallout (whenever possible, and with however much rage I can muster)
3.) Upon seeing the corpse of her fallen Comrade, she screams, her eyes aflame with vengeance and the corpse rises and explodes, devastating all responsible and leaving only a green crackling mushroom cloud
4.)Favorite: Rikti, those swords can take people out faster than they can react, making this power combo possible.
Least Favorite: Nemesis, they just hate me for some reason.
"Fascinating. I'm not bored at all, I swear." -Kikuchiyo
1.Sirromnad Level 50 Dark/Dark Defender
2. Tar Pit
3. Makes everyone go slow and lowers their resistance
4. Probably carnies.
1. Time Flash. Mutation Scrapper. MA/Regen
2. Crane Kick.
3. Crane Kick is a standing high side kick to the head of the enemy that sends them flying across the room.
4. Favorite: Council
Least: Vahzilok
Wittiness Goes Here.
1) Mutation/Tanker
2) Jump into the center, taunt, FOOT STOMP!
3) If my taunt doesn't draw em then the Footstomp will. Anyone who hasn't flown off the screen dead now wants me to eat floor, it's a blast.
4) My favorite mob is Council cause they are so very very squishable (and I love it when I blow up their ships when i'm hovering and hit something like KO Blow or Air Superiority)
My least favorite mob is The Carnival of Shadows because they seem like such a happy bunch but never smile wich I can't understand. They have wicked awesome powers, color clothes, and get to live in circus tents, how can you NOT be smileing?!

Meanwhile...On The Internet...
1. Dark Ether is a lvl 50 Dark Melee/Super Regen scrapper.
2. Gotta try to line them up for the Smite/Shadow Maul combo.
3. Shadow Maul is a cone melee attack that can hit a few foes. When hit they kinda lurch back and forth quickly, like living punching bags. ;P
4. Hmmmm.....probably Council and Crey.

1. Thornster is a lvl 50 Spines/Dark Armor scrapper.
2. I start most fights with Impale then I run in following the spines in the air.
3. The target usually takes a nice hit ... like a boxing blow to the stomach. Then I follow up with the evil looking lunge (that big spine on our forearm) to "push it through".
4. I would have to say knives of artemis ... with their shadowy ways that match mine and their annoying stacking slowing effects.

Igniitus! Reference On Deviant
1. Igniitus - Mutation Tanker
2. Build Up+Firey Embrace+Fire Sword Circle! Followed by combustion, then greater fire sword on the high levels...
3. Fire Sword Circle? I jump and spin in the air, and crash down on the mob. The mob diesn't fall or get knocked back, but they lurch back on their feet, as if saying "*^%$ that's hot!!!"
4. Might have to agree with thornster on this one... although those arachnos smoke grenades are a pain in the &*^.

Fireball! I love how it really breaks up a party. I used to do the old Aim/Build-up routine, but that took too long - it's TONS more fun to watch em all running about, burning.

As described above, a well-placed Fireball lights em up and keeps em running! Follow that with a Rain Of Fire and you have endless fun.

I love to fight Vahz since they can't run away too fast and take extra damage from Fire. I gotta say, I'm not a fan of the Sappers (Malta).
Here's some handy-dandy references =)
LIGHT-SPEED in game
LIGHT-SPEED in 3D (old, but still close. Needs to be updated though).
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?
Krimsin Hawk, Level 50 Mutation Tanker
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?
/em getsome into Foot Stomp
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.
She turns to her side, slaps her buttcheek, returns to a normal stance, then raises her right leg bent at the knee and brings it down onto the ground, cracking the ground and sending many people flying away if not taken out completely.
4) What's your favorite/least favorite mob to face...
Favorite would be Crey, especially since they are so tied into her backstory. Least favorite would be either Devouring Earth and Malta; DE take SO LONG for her to take down, and Malta has those nasty Sappers that screw with a Tanker so much.
