Costume Slots and Bios

Is it possible to move the Bio creator over to the Tailor/Character Mod Screen and allow each costume slot the option of having it's own Bio?

Also, being able to move the Title system over to the Tailor/Character Mod Screen and allowing each slot the option of having it's own Title?


Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

That is actually a decent idea. A character could devote multiple
slots to a character that might be two distinct personalities..

Examples:
Billy Batson/Captain Marvel
Ronnie Raymond/Martin Stein (Firestorm)

I was going to complain about having to copy the same bio multiple times for those of us who won't use it, but if it inherits the bio on slot creation, I guess that takes care of itself. I'd still like to see some feature for bio-linking between slots, though, so if I update one slot's bio, it'll update for all applicable slots without me having to enter it manually.

With those provisions, I have no reason to dislike the idea.

So long as someone fixes that attrocious bug in the in-game text editors, whereby clicking at all is next to impossible, without the selection going spaz on you. It's been that way since MA showed up, and its still lurking around.

I was thinking that any newly created/received slots would default to the most recently edited bio.
Being able to C&P would be good.
Having an 'Update All Bios' switch or button would be nice.

...That could indeed be pretty cool.

Hmm, I kinda looked over this. I like the concept since usually I have alternate costumes that tie into a character's story, concept or powers in different ways.

My suggestion to amend to this: Epic Story Slot Missions.

The way it'd work is, the devs add missions just like they add missions to unlock auras and costume slots and capes. But for this, it'd be 'epic tokens'. In the costume creator, you get a choice to spend an 'epic token' on that costume that will basically 'unlink' that bio from the main one.

Normally, all the bios of all the costumes are linked so updating any will update them all. But spend an epic token on one of the costumes and updating that bio will be independent from the others.

I'd totally use this to elaborate on a transformation, how they think, act or feel during this transformation, the capabilities or manufacturer of a specific power armor. etc.
