What will we call the game?
So Bayani....
I think ya have interest bro. How about a new thread with the rules,start date and time, ending date and time, description and all that in the OP?
It's up now! I'm leaning with the "yes on screenies" crowd, since I want to keep the hair and face and build the same, and not totally redo the character - I'm wanting to do a re-imagined costume/look, but still keep it somewhat recognizable, like the Praetorian us!

If we do go the "show me a screenie" route, I'm sorry but I'm gonna be out. Showing me a picture automatically set a visual image of the character in my mind and anything I did to change wouldn't look right in my mind. Sorry bout that.
I'll post here if we're trying to keep the other thread somewhat clear of clutter
Is this where I scoot my desk next to Hericane's?

As you wish, but I was just posting my opinion on what I want. If you don't want to look at a screenshot, then just don't. As whoever for a text bio and go.
I think it could be fun either way, and I'm not gonna get bent out of shape whatever way anyone wants to do it. That's just me though...you all can do whatever you wish.
The idea is to have fun, and if looking at a reference pic spoils the fun, then don't do it. I don't know of too many people who've said they wanted it one way or else, so just go with it, imo. Heck, most of us know what each other's mains look like, anyway.

I understand your point, but I don't consider it fair to tell you what rules to play by. With the goof-up in the original list you sent me a link to you Div art page with a bunch of screen caps of your toons. Are you now going to turn around and write up a short little bio for me to read just because I don't want to look at the pictures?
Sorry, there's being fair and then there's being a jerk. Guess which category I think dictating the rules, when I'm no the one who started the game, falls into.
"Are you now going to turn around and write up a short little bio for me to read just because I don't want to look at the pictures?"
If you were paired with me, yes.

If you read this, Johnnykat, you have PMs turned off. How do you want to swap info?
I told Johnnykat that he needs to turn on his PMs. He'll fix that as soon as he has a chance.

I was going to use the My Characters in the MA to do up Tuter King's character, but it doesn't give me access to capes and auras. Do capes and auras have to be unlocked for MA? If so, then how? I haven't dabbled with it much since some of the changes they have been making has invalidated many peoples published arcs, so I thought I'd wait and get into it after the patching for it slows down some. I can use one of my characters in the CC to do his for him, but am still wondering about what is and isn't available for making custom characters in MA.
You have to turn your tickets in to the Vendor to unlock costume parts for design purposes in MA.
Has anyone not exchanged information with their partners yet?
When are we suppose to post them because i have mine all done right now 
Turkey said he'd send his info this weekend, but he has mine.

Yeah, you have to buy to unlock capes, vet stuff, etc. If you have the Valkyrie pack you can put a long cape on in the character builder in game - the part you can see from the front is plain, but the back has the pattern on it, so you may just get a front shot.

Sadly, MA is out for me, as all three of my slots are hosting arcs at the moment.
That is, unless we can show them off in Test Mode.
[/ QUOTE ]Do what I do when I want to experiment with stuff my character doesn't have yet. Go into one of your arcs, if you have one with a custom character, and edit that character. Snap screenies at the costume creations screen and then back out without saving to the arc.

You should be able to go into "My Creations" and have an option to make a "New Character" without ever making any arcs. You can even save them in groups entirely separate of any arcs.
