Sweet. I'll go check how much longer I gotta wait. I think the only ones I have already are the greek letters.|

Edit: 5 months to go. Not so shabby considering about half that time will be gone by the time GR comes out.
Thank you for the heads up on that!

No problem. If you wanted, I think Paragon Wiki has a listing of all the powers PPD Awakened have for each tier.

It does, but that's far less than a full build, that's why I was asking if anyone has put together a build that apes them.

Awakened are Squids, Unleashed are dwarfs, anything else is up to you.

I'll miss you all.
I had the idea of making my WS a member of the PPD Awakened department - with the idea that she was previously a member of the police force when she became joined and transferred afterwards. She would face prejudice etc from the PBs due to their distrust of a WS etc etc
Anyway I was trying to recreate their costume in the cossie creator and couldn't get an exact match because not all of the patterns are available and we don't get Kheldian sashes (first time this had bothered me!). But this is the closest I could get in approximation:
With the Awakened picture for comparison

Not really, they also have specific power lists. Defining them as just their form is like saying Synapse is a blaster and making a synapse-like character all you need is to be a blaster, go ahead and pick ice/devices. It's missing the whole point of the exercise.

That's a pretty decent copy! Nice work. She'd look a little silly bald, but it works ok for the guys. =)

So anyone have an idea which powersets feel most peacebringer-like for the praetorian double?
And anyone have a good human/tank build they can point me at? I'm still going through older posts looking.

Depending on what you want to do, for a non-PB PB, an Energy/Energy blaster works. (I've got a character, actually, who believes she's a peacebringer despite having it pointed out she's not.) Ranged ST and AOE blasts, some close-up smack-around melee - can't do anything with shields 'til you hit your APPs, really (barring something like, say, fighting, just for some resists.)

That's where i've been leaning, but it's not really grabbing me. I'm trying to make the character fit into the praetorian police, so part of me thinks at least one powerset should involve guns. I was thinking maybe a DP/EM blaster, but I already have a sonic/em. I'm not stuck on the idea of a gun. And I'm not totally opposed to energy. Just thinking through options and can't think of anything else yet.|

With i17 we can also abuse the day job shield and the temp power shield. Plus, the purchased shield from sirens call works when you can get it. All of those run out, but they can be used for flavor and on an "as needed" basis to give the feel.

You should probably wait until you see the Praetorian PPD in action and can tell which powers they have. Until then, it's all speculation. For all we know they could use Force Fields or Energy Aura.
I made a Rad/Energy Blaster look like a PPD human form Kheldian. Change the colors of the powers to white and even added the aura over the eye to look just like them 
I was just over on the Going Rogue site recently and it looks like I had the PPD and the resistance backwards. The PPD are using forcefields and blasts from the palms of their hands.
Rad is interesting and it recolors well. I imagine you could make a pretty good peacebringer clone with it.

I'm working on two characters, one for now and one for GR that will be the first's Praetorian equivalent. I know the current one will be a PPD Peacebringer. And I'm going to try for a dual-form to sort of copy the PPD Transcended Bosses.
I did some searching but couldn't find any example builds has anyone else made a good PPD-Transcended character? There's a few human/dwarf builds I've seen but none that I found which were specific PPD-Transcended themed (My searching skills are bad though so I'm sure they are out there). As a side note, what's the best chest decoration to duplicate the PPD icon, is it available somehow?
Now, I know we don't know much about the Praetorian police yet. But we know they use guns and we know they don't have kheldians. So, what would be an interesting way to make a gun-armed alternate? I'm thinking science as an origin since merging with a second being is more like altering yourself than just picking up a gun (technology). Dual Pistols/Energy Melee blaster has quite the similar power feel, but I've got an /em blaster already. Can't really make a melee/range hybrid out of any of the other ATs that get guns (MM, Corr, Defender). So that's where I get stuck. Anyone have ideas?
