If anime has taught me anything, it's that people over 60 are total badasses.

This is to go along with the new temp power "Deadly Gas" that works oh so well knocking an opponent out every time, especially when you are attacked from behind.
No DOOM today, DOOM tomorrow. There's always a DOOM tomorrow.

I'm sure most of us would prefer an "anti-gravity" slider for this in real life. 
It's funny how this reminds me of the sci-fi writers out there who love to describe in great detail the physical effects that low/zero gravity has on their female protagonists.

Somehow, I want my dad to have a booth at the next Sakuracon with this quote as his banner.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I made a pair of geriatric superheroes in response to an offhand joke about "mature" roleplay.
This joke led to the creation of Granny Go and Dag Nabbit.
Both Granny Go and Dag Nabbit were superheroes in the 60's and 70's. They were in the Flower Phalanx together as Go Go Girl and the Merry Prankster. They eventually dropped out of the counterculture and superheroing as their powers faded. They fell in love, got older, had kids, had grandkids, and retired to Salamanca.
Flash forward to the new millenium. Shortly after the Rikti Invasion, contact with Salamanca is lost as Croatoa threatens to overwrite the region. An encounter with witches of the Cabal jumpstarts the powers of the retirees, in a slightly different form than they previously held. Determined to take back their community from the invaders, the couple get back into the hero game.
I haven't quite figured out how to bring the rest of the Flower Phalanx into the modern yet. Lord Aquarian, as a cosmic being would be mostly unchanged. Violet Starshine, as the high priestess of the religious cult founded by Lord Aquarian might have aged, and she might not. Rainy Day Woman probably had grandkids of her own, so she might return as Grandma Granite.
New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Quick Reply:
Silly, silly Steelclaw. Everyone knows that the next expansion after Going Rogue will be named "Rouging Go". The devs have been pretty tight-lipped regarding how putting makeup on a board game is related to the CHV storyline, but Nemesis is probably behind it.
BackAlleyBrawler: I can't facepalm this post hard enough.
ShoNuff: If sophisticated = bro-mantically emo-tastic, then I'm going to keep to my Shonen loving simplicity dammit.

Hey, hey, hey now, no slandering existing villains.
See my one and only MA arc (so far) "Granny Granite and the Senior Moment Gang" for details.

b) Has the Senility inherent power. Open up new mission possibilities with this inherent. Every time you are headed towards a mission door you have a percentage chance of stopping suddenly and muttering. "Now what the heck was I doin' again?" At this point the mission in your mission list and the navigation bar will change to something completely different. Adventure for you and confusion for your contacts!

I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.
After a week of hiding out in the various trash cans at NorCal (BaB's was my favorite one to hide in, he always had the best doughnuts) I have managed to ferret out information about the expansion that will be happening AFTER the Going Rogue one.
It will be obstensibly titled City of Heroes: Golden Age. It will be about those glorious heroes and dastardly villains who were fighting back in the 1940's and 50's. No, it won't be about them back then, it will allow you to play them as they are NOW.
It will be sub-titled: Going Senile.
Some of the features of City of Heroes: Golden Age; Going Senile:
1) New travel power in the pool powers: Super Wheelchair which will include the tier one powers of Trick Riding(def buff), Coasting (zero end cost at sprint speeds), Turbo Props (faster superspeed with poorer handling) and Rockets (flight)
2) Clothing With Skin costumes will now have the Depends option.
3) For those who have been clamoring for the walk emote you will be met half way as the devs will introduce the Walker emote.
4) The Geriatric Arch Type:
a) Includes a large number of sleep based powers both against your enemies ("Why when *I* was a hero we didn't have that fancy Spandex stuff; we wore burlap and we liked it!" "That's nice grandpaa.. ZZzzzzZZzzz..") and as self heals ("Just a little nap before going to sleep I think.")
b) Has the Senility inherent power. Open up new mission possibilities with this inherent. Every time you are headed towards a mission door you have a percentage chance of stopping suddenly and muttering. "Now what the heck was I doin' again?" At this point the mission in your mission list and the navigation bar will change to something completely different. Adventure for you and confusion for your contacts!
c) New weapon selection: The Cane. Does smashing damage with a chance to stun. At lower levels the attacks will debuff the victim who is humiliated at being beaten by an old fart in public. Higher level attacks cause allies within range to act as though disoriented as they laugh themselves silly.
d) Charge up defense. Similar to Brute's fury or Dominator's domination bars; this bar will charge up as the Geriatric fights. When it is full the hero/villain will give a mighty cry of "My Hip!" and fall down writhing. This immediately summons two dozen pets dressed as medical staff. The staff will heal and buff the Geriatric and all his/her allies in the area.
e) The Psychological Torture secondary will be available to all Geriatrics. Examples of powers include: "Why Don't You Call Anymore?", "Let Me List My Illnesses", "Why Can't You be More Like Your Brother?" and "You Put Me In A HOME You Ba***rd!"
5) All in-game Hospitals will now be fleshed out as completely as the AE buildings or Pocket D. There will be multiple rooms with different kinds of doctors or specialists. Geriatric arche types will gain experience points for special AT-specific missions called "Track Down a Diagnosis."
6) New costume pieces: Hospital Johnny, Pants Pulled Up To Armpits, Ear Hair, Sandals with Socks and Plaid, Plaid, PLAID!
7) The boob slider will now have a "gravity" slider option as well.
8) The bio section of your character will allow the option of changing the title from "Bio" to "In MY Day..." Once changed to the latter option the text space will increase enough to hold a small novel.
9) A new type of inspiration called "Fiber"; 'nuff said.
10) Those buying the collector's edition box of City of Heroes: Golden Age; Going Senile will get a special click power. The power only works in Pocket D. Approach DJ Zero and click; your character screams "You call that music?!" At which point a record player scratching sound effect occurs and the club track switches to Big Band music for the next several minutes.
11) New Hero Zone: Happy Acres Retirement Community
12) New Villain Zone: Lou's Discount Retirement Penitentiary
13) Senior Citizen's Discounts at Wentworth's/Black Market
14) AE Tickets? Reward Merits? Vanguard Merits? All old and forgotten. The new standard: Gift Certificates to Country Buffet!
15) Finally you will be able to respec all your powers AND AT. Not because you fell in a vat of toxic waste, got bitten by a radioactive ant-eater or made an incredible scientific discovery. No. Just because you're Going Senile and woke up this morning thinking you were a Peppermint Fairy with minty-fresh blaster powers.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
