but i searched for it & found nothing. That being said:

If you had to choose an archtype to actaully be, what would you choose, what power sets & why? i'll give 1 alt since i'm kinda torn myself.

My first choice would be brute. Mainly because when something happens, i feel the need to get in it, get directly & physically involved, working w/my hands & contributing (hopefully a decent amount) to the effort. Bruting also suits my personality, since i have the Scotch/Irish temper (which was legendary by the time i was 14) & the German stubbornnes. So, i start swinging, get hit a few times & the reaction is 'YOU SONNUUUUVVVAA!' lol
My power choice i guess would be the classic ss/inv, since i enjoy thet idea of just being that tough & that strong & just bringing about total ruin w/my fists... & being able to throw cars @ ppl

Second would be stalker because i do enjoy sublety & stealth & tend to be a quiet person. i also have an odd habit of unintentionally sneaking up on people or walking into their blind spots. For that i'd choose ninja blade/dark (which i've never used) because i know how to use a two hand sword & enjoy the leverage & power you can get out of it & dark because it's always been a good place to hide.

So enough about me, i was wondering what you guys thought. This is kind of an extension of what my friends would always do when we'd watch movies. We'd pick who were most like or just end being in that given situation.

Your post got me thinking... about real people in the world who already fit the bill.

Paramedic, EMT, or ER nurse - Empathy Defender
Robotics engineer - Bots MM
Various military and law enforcement personnel - AR/Dev Blaster or Defender
Criminals - Thugs MM
Pop Icons - Mental Dominator
MMA figher - Martial Arts/Super Reflexes Scrapper

There are more, countless more, but these are the first few that popped into my head.

Heheh yea. i think about that alot.
i really like the pop star thing- 'CONFORM CONFORM CONFORM CONSUUUUMMME!' & similairly a politician, they'd switch between mental dominator & thugs MM. heheh though maybe an inept MM. Of course we could conisder tv a mental dom &/or a zombie MM heheh We could ramble on this all day..

Well Nylonus is the closest personification of me that I have created. And I have always been happy with his choice of powers.... Fire/Fire/Fire blaster.

The closest alt would have to be my Stone/Ice tank Flash-back. I am just not too sure I would like to see how mud pots translate into real life.

To me, mud pots would only work if your name was PigPen and you hung around with Schroeder, Lucy, Linus and Charlie Brown.

I guess some kind of Controller. When I can get a hold of a situation (Mez), I can get it worked out quickly and easily (Containment). If I can't, I'm sort of second-hand support, at best. Completely screwed at worst.

Fire/Stone Brute (with teleport)... I just like the idea of being damn near unstoppable.

My second choice would be an anything/Regen Scrapper.

As for mudpots... imagine being able to heat asphalt to the point where it melts.

Kheldian, plain and simple. More specifically, I'd love to be a Warshade.

You can tank and blast... sure, you're not as powerful as many other AT's, and you have to watch out for Nictus Hunters, but switching between forms and having all those Dwarf, Nova, and human powers... in real life...

Perfection!


pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^

I love you for that :-D

I have to agree with Commander though. Being a Kheld would be AWESOME. It's really hard to pick one though. A mixture would be SWEET! I think I'd have to pick a PB though. I like havin' more melee ability AND flying. I know the squid form can fly. But who wants to fly around as an ugly @$$ squid all the time?

I'd love to be a Regenerator. Claws, Martial Arts, Blades, whatever... I just want to be a Regenerating Scrapper.

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

If i could mix two AT's together, it would be ss/inv brute and martail arts/ninjitsu stalker. if i was forced to pick one, though, i would go w/ the latter over the former. something about being invisable is just WAY too cool to pass up.

Energy Melee Willpower Stalker.

Why? Cuz I'm a sneaky sonofagun, and I will stun you when I put my mind to it.

I'd be my Rad/Rad Defender.

Why? Just to keep all these Brutes in check.

Heh good idea. Y'know how they say power is corrupting. That much power would be pretty corrupting. i know it'd turn me the wrong way.. My intial thought would be how much more i can get away with since i'm now bullet proof. We'd definetly need someone to keep us in check. This is America, after all. And here the maxim isn't 'With great power comes great responsibilty.' It's 'With great power comes great priviledge and profit.' Cause, as americans, we all bow to the ATM machine in the end, don't we?
lol i've done about 45+ hours this week already & still working..

Ah yes, I recall fighting both with you and against you on my scrapper. You are quite wicked.
