Who Shall Be Your First Incarnate?

my FF/Rad/Dark 50 Defender i wanna see how much better my forcefields can get :P

Likely Decorum (Inv/EM), the first hero I made in the game...sort of (I "recreated" him on Victory after starting on Virtue, where he's still at level 22, long before transfers were allowed).

LEGION OF VALOR - Be a part of the Legend!

Sunwind of course, my Fiery Melee/Willpower/Fire Scrapper. She is the only one I play these days.

As for others, hard to say at this point. That will depend on what is needed to do, how long it takes, and most importantly, what the benefits are. Since I rarely play alts, I will probably not take them to Incarnate levels though. Maybe Blitzwolf, my Huntsman/Bane.

Though for Sunwind I will jump through all hoops the Devs will put into this system regardsless how they are set up, I second previous posters in that I hope it won't be a heavy forced teaming thing.

One of the main reason I am still here is the openess in the reward/content systems. You can raid for Hamidon-Enhancer, or buy them, you can raid the mothership for Vanguard merits, or you can get them yourself by defeating Rikti. You can run TF all day in big teams for merits, or you can get them yourself by doing story arcs or buy the stuff directly. Sure, the team based rewards are usually (much) better/faster, you do however still have the option to approach it as you like.

As I love to solo myself most of the time, but enjoy running a TF or a raid from time to time it works out perfectly for me as it is now. So hopefully the Devs wil follow previous approaches on how rewards (in this case the Incarnate system) are attainable, as in there are always options, solo, teamed, raid.

I know I am not alone with my opinion here.

Amerikatt already has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal feloids, power granted by The Great (Cat) Mother, to whom she is the loyalest of servants.

It's only natural that Amerikatt should explore the Greater Mysteries which shall allow her to become an even more efficient servant, not only for The Great Mother, but to the furred and non-furred beings whom the "Imp of Impervium" is sworn to protect!

(*upsurge of a rollicking John Philip Sousa theme echoes in the background!*)

For me, it has to be Tsumiju Zero, followed by his temporal counterparts.

Zero however, will always get updated first for things like this

My main hero and main villan...

Nightseye
Who already was planned as an incarnate of the goddess Bast...

Elizabeth Bathory
Who is a very evil vampiric witch that will draw powers from anything she can.

I have the same disclaimer of "nobody if it's really tedious hardcore raid type content", but that aside:

For sentimental reasons it'll probably be my first character, Biowraith - Dark/Dark/Dark Defender. Unless it turns out the population size on Victory at the times I play makes that a drag, in which case it'll be my favourite character, Pinchy - Crab Spider.

Since I don't know what an incarnate is, or what I'll have to do to become one, I'll wait until there is more information to use in making a choice.

But I'm with others. Raiding? Bleh.

--NT

Whatever the task is that is set before him, My main character Mind Lasher will be the first to take the plunge for me. His AT is in my sig.


I am sure he'll be followed by his nemesis Spirit Lasher in that also no matter if it is annoying to do or not.

Terminal Velocity, of course!

Apparently the person that necro'd this thread didn't realize the Incarnate stuff has been removed from GR.

Oddly, story wise, my self-dubbed "Japan Trio"

Takezo, my katana/SR scrapper would be the one I want to get first, ironically, storywise, he can't become an Incarnate because he's the reincarnation of basically a god/demon/angel/fey killing psycho. But in theory, this also means his "Incarnating" would basically be him learning to make full use of that without the desire to kill most of his friends, acquaintances, contacts, etc. cause you know, in the City of Universe, trying to avoid planar outsiders it like trying to avoid air.

Then Kaede, my emp/energy defender, would be the incarnate of... Herself? Well, her virtue-self managed to attain lesser divinity in her life and gained inter-shard awareness, soo... Yeah. (She'll feel really weird about the ego-centrism too)
Also, given how useful she ends up being on a team compared to even my scrapper, she's likely to be my first incarnate despite my wishes.

Likely my last to incarnate will be my archery/energy blaster: Sakura (my love letter and deconstruction of magical girls), and depending on how powerful it leaves a character, I plan to totally play it as her becoming an Exalted.

You guys do know that you don't "go incarnate" you just unlock incarnate based merits by running TF's that are used to purchase a global bonus which is called Incarnates. A 33% Global Recharge Bonus is an Incarnate.

There is no epic storyline or new powers or new levels you just grind new incarnate based merits to unlock a couple global bonuses.

Without a doubt, Blood Speaker, Necro/Dark/SM Mastermind. First character, first 50... and (concept-wise) the avatar of cosmic entropy and destruction.

If you respec an incarnate is that reincarnation?
