Hello all

While talking with my group this afternoon we came across an idea for a new toon that I think I want to try. The idea was that a spelunker in one of the many caves dotted across the games landscape. While he/she is exploring they come in contact with the cave walls that many a hero/villian have bounced off of in thier adventures (come on, you know you've done it a few times as well..it's why we all hate the cave maps). The walls have absorbed the genetic material of the others (thinking of using the red crystals that rogue islands has as an explination here.) The charecter would then have gained their powers through the transference from the cave walls.

The powers themselves I was thinking would have something to do with "bouncing" as there would be a kinetic feel to the toon (thinking of "Wallbounce, Cavebounce, etc as a name). I know the most obvious in many ways would be a earth build but somehow it seemed...to easy..I thought maybe you all might have some better ideas. I really thought the idea of creating this toon as a symbolic gesture of my most hated map type would be fun to play. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks all!

Something-Energy as it's generic-looking enough that you could color each attack something different and call it somethign different. In addition, the spheres of energy contribute to the "Bounce" aspect.

hmm boucing to me suggests rubber balls. The power sets that have sphere's in them are Defenders Forcefields, Defender or Corruptor Sonic Resonance. If your concept doesn't call for the ball early you could also go with a power set (or Epic) that has World of Confusion.

Radiation comes to mind as a power set for absorbing other hero/villian powers.

With the above in mind I'd say FF/Rad Defender, Sonic/Rad Defender, or (possibly the best choice) Rad/Sonic Corruptor.

Still don't know what his AT or primary or secondary is..but it's getting closer hehe

Well a Kinetics character has Inertial Reduction and Repel, which sort of fits what you seems to be looking for in the bouncing department. Inertial Reduction isn't suppressed, so you can bounce around in the middle of a fight.

I'll throw out some power combinations that might fit the bill:

Kinetics/Energy Defender

Kinetics/Sonic Defender

Force Field/Energy Defender

MA/WP Scrapper or MA/SR Scrappers can be a concept for just about anything, I guess.

Energy/Energy Blaster

Gravity/Kinetics Controller

Gravity/Force Field Controller

Earth/Kinetics Controller

Earth/Force Field Controller

Hope these might give you an idea or two.


Too many alts to list.

A kin/dp comes to mind. As mentioned before, you'd have kinetics giving Siphon Speed, Repel, and Inertial Reduction, and Dual Pistols could give knockback when you select that type of ammo.

The advantage of DP over Energy Blast is that you can essentially "turn off" your kb if for some reason it isn't appropriate to a situation. Also, you can get additional effects, not just kb.

In addition, kins give themselves and their teams damage buffs, boost their team's speed and endurance, and so on, potentially making the whole team more "kinetic."

DP would also give a second meaning to "banger."

Pain Dom has a ball like effect and you can justify the heals and buffs as transferring the powers of those before you in the caves to your allies. Sonic also has that power that makes things bounce off of whom ever you buff with it (an ally repel).

I do love how kin works with you ideas because not only do you gain power from those before you, you can take power (and endurance) away from your enemies (fulcrum, siphon speed, siphon power) and also give to allies (speed boost/inertial/increase density)

As for an attack or control set I can not really help as I always come back to stone.
