Hmm... don't have good enough renders to do anything more than forum banner-sized images, but... as a sidenote...
If we were to have an "alternate background" for forum devs, who would be the 6 dev/community characters we'd expect to see?

We can disagree, sometimes jokingly, sometimes a bit heatedly, about what that new stuff is; but there's been sixteen issues in just less than six years, another one around the corner, and a substantial expansion just over the horizon. I'm happy.

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
My two cents in this debate is as follows:
War Witch is better looking then Posi, so I don't mind either.

War Witch (for obvious reasons),
Back Alley Brawler,
Niviene,
The Ocho...
I'm kind of at a loss for the last 2. Do Sexy Jay and Pohsyb have in-game characters ?

hmm...
Well, barring those, we know Castle's got an in-game character.... and Dr Aeon's been a lot more active lately... though that'd mean bring up the Aeon / TV war....
Ok, still got the demorecords from my character poses... just need demos of Niviene & The Ocho to put my evil plan in motion..... CoH: Forum Edition.

P.S. You didn't mention AC. If CoH ended I would totally go back to AC. Well, after a while of not playing any MMORPG.
Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

Y'know... there's some good points about the names... but I think we're analyzing them the wrong way...
First there was Statesman. The State, or a nation. A builder. A creator. He brought forth the game from nothing, gave us the State we play in. He fought the initial war for our right to survive. But his time is finite, eventually the founders must give way.
Thus, we come to Positron.
Positron, our positive caretaker, who has guided the State through dark times and good, kept the peace, ensured prosperity. But new enemies lurked on the horizon. Dark pacts were formed, plots were made to assault the City State and see it brought low, burned to ashes. The time to mobilize was here. Thus, the peacemaker stepped out of the way...
Which brings us to War Witch. Not even death can stop her. She can be multiple places at once, be multiple things as needed. The diplomat, the warmaker. She'll take the fight to the enemies of the City, she'll ensure we carry on through the trying times ahead.
I see nothing but good coming from this change. This is not a road to Doom, but a path to salvation!
... and I have way too much time on my hands today.
"Yes, yes this is a fertile land and we will thrive. And we shall rule over this land, and call it... ... This Land."

So, Dispari.
How's the weather (+rep) out there?
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

This is obviously symbolism meant to imply the fading interest in the game and the loss of interest by the devs. This is a message by the devs themselves that they no longer care about the game! The game will be shut down within the year, and this is PROOF! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! |
