Would a Circle of Thorns theme team be interesting to anyone?

Thing that sucks about CoT theme is that there are no full robes available for either gender.

It was either Taunt or Purple Triangles of Doom. I stand by my decision!

Yeah, trying to model after the current CoT look will be almost impossible. However, if you read up on their backstory there's an interesting angle we can take.
The Circle started in the late 1800s among upper class Englishmen. It wasn't until the 1930s that they retreated to their present underground condition.
With that in mind, I think we can go with an 'old school' Circle look using the new costumes from the Magic Booster Pack. Take a look. The last pic looks like a neat fit for a evil wizard 'gentleman's club' so to speak. Backstory could involve some sort of time travel or hibernation to explain the dated threads we're wearing. Or maybe we're members of the CoT that stayed in the Old World when Zoria came to the US.

I like this train of thought. I think it might be interesting to go with an "old world" aristocratic look. Kind of like the "Hellfire Club" from the X-men universe. It definitely works with the theme of the CoT. Like it alot, maybe we could all be Barons and Count's. (or Baronesses and Countesses).
Also "Possessed Scientist" "Succubus" and "Behemoth" looks are easy to create in the costume creator.

I like the idea as well. For some reason I always thought of the CoT being made up Asain Nationals. No idea they were WASPs. Kudos for the linky to their true history. I was aiming for a summoned entity theme with my Plant/Psi but I could now see rolling it as an aged english crone.

I was so hoping for those in the magic set, but the high collar cape were a great addition too.

You know the Thorn Tree is technically a Plant Dom as it uses Carrion Creepers and Thorn Burst attacks..so Plant could work.
I'm going with a Succubus look myself. "Lady Cromwell" is a 19th English Noblewoman possessed by a CoT Succubus. She has Grav/Psi sets, as she has studied the "path of the pain mage".

Baron von Ruwen has just arrived in Mercy Island after a brief misunderstanding with the authorities in Paragon City.
He awaits other members of the old world Circle to join him assisting a chap named Burke with some nefarious deeds.

Fine... I guess I'm rolling another dominator on Pinnacle...
Either earth/thorns (mage) or plant/thorns (succubi).

You work quickly D_C.
Looks like I'm shelling out 9.99 for the magik pack.
And a quick question! Are we going to start playing the toons now, or merely create them now so we can hit the gorund running come I15?

The Lady Cromwell has recently broken out of the Zig and has been causing quite a stir in the Rouge Isles. Formerly a English Noblewoman, she made a deal with a CoT Succubus in exchange for eternal beauty.
I will have to abstain from playing her as she's leveling quite quickly on live. Despite being supposedly very "gimp" as a low lvl grav/psi.

Countess von Stachel is ready to rumble.
I apparently just missed Lady Cromwell, or I could've done a VG invite (posting this late, as I got quick screenshot/upload/etc., plus chatting with Hirsh).
[Tentative fire/fire Behemoth for Hirsh... maybe dom, maybe brute... Was trying to sell him on the wonders of aoe immobs + burn patches, but dunno if he was buying. He just started mumbling something about 'mah fury'.]

I will join - Fire/Mind named Brain Flame. I got her to level 2 - are we to meet at a certain level in a certain location?

Dr Reginald Wormwood, noted mystic, opium smuggler and dabbler of the alchemical kind was seen off-loading from a dingy that had embarked from the Far East. Scources have him spotted living in a shanty somewhere in Mercy.

Who/How do I contact for an invite!?

Looks like we are waiting for the event announcement sometime after Issue 15 hits. I guess we should pay attention to the Event forum.

We'll start the team once I15 hits the Live servers.
Wait to play until then. I'm sitting on lvl 2 with Burke as my first contact with Baron von Ruwen.
Contact me @DarkCurrent or @Kazari to get into HTTT. You might want to join the HTTT global channel to see when/if we're online.
If anyone is interested, role a dominator that fits in the Circle of Thorns theme (magic origin and mystic/demonic dress). If you have a picture, name and backstory to go with that and want to share, feel free.
Please buff Ice Control.
I had to stop myself. My Grav/Psi hit lvl 7 pretty easily with minimal effort on live. But she just looked so good in her sexy outfit beating the good guys....couldn't stop. I've parked her though. Also I thought it might be fun for those of us who are also into AE writing to write some fun stories to play through, that fit into the theme of the team. Again, we can chat about that later. I did start working on one..I'd like to try with team later.
Can't wait for my additional story slots!!!!

Dominators are gimp... especially psi, pre L38.
Clearly, you rolled an ice/psi blaster by mistake.
Please try again, and this time pick "villain" at the character creation screen.

Yummy, just restarted my account to play a few months and what do I see ... a HTTT thingy to play with. I'll see about figuring out what to play and drop ya a line this week. When is the I15 comming out?

[/ QUOTE ]
It's here now!
Tuesday night (8 eastern) 6/30 will be our official start. Meet outside the arachnos base next to Burke the Merc.
All CoT themed dominators are welcome. You can join HTTT's VG and make use of our base, bins, teleporters, crafting tables, etc.
We'll be stacking controls and the fancy new damage attacks to see what mayhem we can unleash. I advise that everyone skips their AoE immob (except grav) as it will mess up the kb we'll have with earthquake and ice slick. Grav's immob does not have -kb. If you are running grav, don't bother with dimension shift. Waste o' power. I recommend Hasten and Stamina for everyone, unless you are going with a /psi stamina free build.
We'll have plenty of slows, -rch, and knockdown early to keep us safe without hard controls. Once we get into our 20s, we'll have lots of hard aoe control as well.
If you still need an invite to the VG, give me a shout @DarkCurrent or join our HTTT global channel and send a message there.
See you tomorrow night!
Please buff Ice Control.
I hate how immobilize negates kd otherwise I would go for ice. Course, immobilize negates earthquake too I assume.
