My villain is a sociopath that was raised on adrenaline, self gratification, and ego. When the guy who is completely subservient to him lands him a cloning factory full of mad science...
... hell yes, High Five. High Five that echoes throughout the isle.
Is this thread an imperfect clone?
I am never gonna Hi-Five you Dean- Thug Mastermind
Me: SS/Elec Brute. Clone: Bots/Invuln. Yeah, she tanked Ajax just fine. And no high-five for the D-Man.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs
I would only high-five the D-man if I get to keep his hand...so no I did not high-five the D-man.
It's hard to high-five when you're made out of liquid metal. 
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
He earned his high-five.
Yes I did high Five him.
Another question.
Did you save your clone and what reason did you give?
Yes I saved my clone and told her to go and explore.

Have yet to see my clone in that mission, actually.
The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
As bad as I feel about it, the majority of my villains will kill their clone :/
Letting (her)him go free presents a very real future threat, not to mention the stuff s/he'd do could come back to bite THEM in the ***.
And yeah, I usually high five D-Man, unless I'm playing a really stuck up villain. 
Like Underworld? Then take a look at! http://moonid.net/account/recruitmen.../monstersgame/
And don't forget to join the fight for our City! http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index....ard,134.0.html
I high-fived him on my Brute, Talon Pyre.
See? I have his hand here!

Aw, Ajax killed my clone before I could see a choice about that... is it a whole 'nother dialog box? Because I did some work on his paragon wiki page, and that will need to be added.

BAB has already said that emote interaction between avatars is almost impossible.

Better to quell stuff like that before the rumors start. Devs already catch enough flak without letting comments like that bite them.

I high-fived dean. The lovely Lunaticia was so thrilled that her Clone Factory would allow her to expand the membership of the Captain Mako Appreciation Society and Scrapbooking Club beyond just her and her Grandma (who is in fact not at all enthusiastic about the Captain, but stops by twice a week anyway to tidy up the clubhouse and leave some homemade lemon bars), that she would have made out with Dean if there'd been an option. She'd have felt guilty about it later, though... all her love is for the Captain.
She also saved her clone. I'm not really sure why... but Luna's never really been a "thinking about the consequences" sort of gal.

Speaking of letting clones live, if you wait for the random NPC dialog after Leonard's arc, you may discover that one survives anyways: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Doppelgangers
I did not high five Dean McArthur. Honestly I found him kind of annoying. Not enough to deserve the sharp end of my sword, but like, younger cousin please stop following me around the house telling me about how awesome HALO is, kind of annoying.
I did save my clone, being that the villain character I was using *is* a clone, he had a certain level of empathy for one just like himself. I later felt terribly guilty for having to slay him at the bank, and I must say this entire mission struck a rather personal chord for my character.
You see, my own villain is the result of separating a demon from my main hero character that was placed into him by the Circle of Thorns during the beginning of his career. Though the exorcism was thought to be a success, the regenerative magic the hero possessed allowed a sort of clone to reshape after much of his DNA was removed to extract the demon. The regeneration was imperfect however, and the clone was left with very basic survival instincts, and quickly sent to the Zig.
After that, he was broken out by Arachnos and quickly became a product of the Rogue Islands, used as an assassin by those more powerful than himself. The people grew to fear and resent him, and he continued to strike against them less they rise up and overthrow him. He was driven to kill by the fear that others might kill him, such is the life of the Isle's. However, his brain continued to develop, and soon he was capable of speech, complex thought, and eventually genuine feeling. He began to feel guilt for those he was killing, began to question his superiors, but ultimately understood that there was little he could do against them, or perhaps he was too afraid too.
Ultimately I felt his clone represented himself as having picked a different choice. When brought to the realization that the world feared and despised him, rather than hiding in the shadows and striking at people from the dark, his clone sought to show them that he could be a hero. How conflicting then for my villain when he realized that his clone's sorrow was brought on by him, whose legacy the clone had to adopt. That the bravery his clone would show, the same bravery he wished he could wield himself, would be struck down by his own hand.
It's a weird feeling, killing someone who you wanted to succeed, who you wish you could have been. I'm not sure if this mission will be the spark that sends him down the path of the Rogue, or further into despair~

Oh hell yes.
I also let my clone live in the end... and she was so ungrateful that she tried to kill me when I decided to transfer the money then rob the bank lol. Honestly if the missions counted towards some kind of good/bad meter like I heard they will in GR then I wouldn't have robbed the bank because I want to switch this toon to heroes.
I hope all the missions in GR will be like these arcs because I could do arcs like these all week and then roll a new toon just so I can pick a different option.
I really enjoyed Deans Arc and at the end, we are back in the bank again. Guards are shivering and shaking and you surprise everyone and say... "Hey I want to make a transfer". Just invisioning the surprised look was oh great 
And to top things up (The villain I did the arc with is a well sort of abused char, but intelligent as few and strangely empathic. She is one who can lure the secret ID from people and she don't even need to use her psi powers):
Her clone appears, they have a chat, the clone asks "Why". My char could have said to serve me or any of that, but no she just says "Go out and explore the world". Exit clone.
I put on walk power walks towards the exit, turns her heel to look at the bank... then turns towards the door and exits.
I found this arc fun.
(ooo... so she will turn on you if you decide to rob the bank? sweet, I must try that with another char)
