Fodder for the Canon: Ask your lore questions here

Anything more you could tell us about the leaders of Vanguard would be appreciated--More on their backgrounds, the exact nature and origin of their powers, etc.. So far we've only got a little bit in their character description and the sparse info you can get about Lady Grey and Serpent Drummer from the MA interface and that doesn't even seem to list those cool spirit animals among SD's powers! Why not add all 7 Vanguard Leaders to MA? By the way, they need a catchier name, maybe the V7?

I'd like to know more about the Kheldians, especially how the merger with the host actually works.

EDIT: Ok, found the thread where Manti is REPLYING to these... might want to link that thread in the initial post For the most part this question is answered, however what about aging on the host? I thought I read somewhere that the host is granted great longevity? I mean what's the benefits to being a host, or is it really just "kewl powerz"?

Is the Incarnate origin only limited to Grecian dieties and only from the well? Or are there Incarnates from other pantheons?


A Nemesis world, is that our "steampunk" world option? (map was hitech when I visited)

Is there anything more specific about the Children of Enos that can be revealed at this time? They play such a significant part of the backstory of the Rogue Isles, but, aside from a few vague mentions, really aren't elaborated on much, aside from being demon worshipers from France.

Dark Watcher...

...is he a nod to the Shadow/Grey Ghost? Will he suddenly gain a couple of side arms after GR?

More backstory possible?

What the heck, I'll ask these questions anyway. I MUST KNOW!

• When Positron was still trapped inside his armor, did he need to eat? And if so, how did he dispose of the resulting "hazardous materials"?
• Having feline DNA, does Mynx(and by extension, the Praetorian Bobcat) display any of the REALLY annoying cat traits like scratching the furniture, being indecisive when it comes to going outside, killing and bringing small animals into the house, or yowling for hours on end when she's 'lonely'?
• Have there been any incidents where a Portal Corporation employee finds a TV show, movie, book or video game that does not exist on Primal Earth, brings it back, and uploads it to the Internet? If so, what happened next, legally speaking?

But then Arakhn and Requim lead a rebellion against the Council towards the end of the warshade arc...so Arakhn joined just to rebel a few years later.

One thing I've been a bit curious about lately are the Ascendant soldiers of the Council. Apart from being the "praetorian guard" for the Center in the same manner that the Bane Spider Executioners are for Lord Recluse, is there anything else you can reveal about them (how they're chosen, what training they undergo etc) that isn't mentioned ingame?

I have a question about how our characters interact with the canon. Especially in the 40+ story lines, the game seems to heavily imply that our characters are on a level with the great figures of the canon, including (especially in their respective Task/Strike Forces) Statesman and Lord Recluse themselves. Is it proper to think of high-level characters as peers of the Freedom Phalanx and the elite of Arachnos, or are these rare moments of glory flukes and, in fact, player characters are intended to serve more as sidekicks to these figures?

Woo hoo! New answers up http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...84&postcount=8

Manticore answered my question!

Ok, not sure if this question was already asked or not but... Since a Kheldian merging with a human seems to be permanent until the death of the human part, what happens when they are pulled apart? What would happen to the human host if the Kheldian part was killed off? They pulled Altered Umbra out of Lars Mendelson, and they were Shadowcatcher no more... And Lars Mendelson seemed to be quite troubled by what happened.
On a second question... When a Human/Kheldian have children with another human what´s the result? And if they both are part Kheldians? Can part of the Kheldian powers pass to the child?

*wanders back onto the thread*

Damn, it's nice to see that there are this many other people who actually follow the canon and ask questions and want to know more about this world we run around in. Sometimes I wondered if it really was just me.

I swear, I think Paragon Studios could hire a half dozen writers/mission designers SOLELY for stories that back-fill canon stuff and players would just go nuts for it.

Okay, here's one that's been bothering me for some time. Apparently, in order to be a member of the Freedom Phalanx, your secret identity is required to be made public. Statesman's justification is that it helps citizens trust them more easily, but it doesn't take Lord Nemesis to come up with the idea of booby-trapping their homes or endangering their friends and family on a daily basis. That seems like the kind of thing that'd make people appreciate the presence of superheroes LESS.

My question is, how many lives have been ruined or even lost because of this ridiculously naive policy?

I have a question!

Okay, this might have been asked before, but I haven't the patience to read through all of the thread at this moment, so here goes;

When did the Devouring Earth show up for the first time, and could you expand a bit on their background?
