Can we have more content/missions with Hequat in them?
Or at least give access to her costume parts. Honestly, there's giving and NPC one unique costume part to make them stand out, then there's characters like her with an entire set of parts that we'll probably never get ahold of.

I like her, think she looks awesome, and would like to see more of her too.
Now, any proposals for her involvement?
Possibly as part of the Incarnate System?
She available in Mission Architect?
She sure is, under Arachnos naturally.
Well there you go. Post me some (good) arcs with her in them
Anyway I was looking for something from NCSoft to make, not something player made with the AE feature. But that seems to be the only option at the moment. Even though I did get a email from a redname about the OP request so.. *crosses fingers* hopefully we get something in the future
Found another link with more background of the character
http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Books
Hequat and the Mu This serves as a preface to the first book of the history of the Mu/Oranbegan war. Though we did not know of them until the War, the Mu had been our sworn enemy for hundreds of years. Within a fortress-island forged of iron and fear they had been trained to hate us and to fight against us for generations. Their Goddess demanded it, and they obeyed her in all ways. They believed that their chosen place upon this world was to serve as the righteous implement of her will, and in their deeds and customs did they enshrine this so that to do otherwise would be unthinkable. At her command they performed generations of what would now be called eugenic breeding in order to strengthen the magical power within their blood lines to unheard of levels. At her command they crushed all contrary thought, and made no art that did not praise her name. At her command they attacked our peaceful Oranbega on a spring day, sewing ruin on our city and bringing war to us after it had become forgotten in our lands. The name of this Goddess was Hequat. Hequat was in our myths as well, for it was her followers who had hounded us from our lands and drove our forbears into the sea. In our myths she was the former lover of Ermeeth, the god who taught our people the magic he had learned from fabled Tielekku. Hequat was also Ermeeth's greatest foe, and it was from her armies we had fled under one sea and across another to the land we would call Oranbega. We had thought Ermeeth and Hequat both legends until her soldiers came one fateful spring to burn our world away. Hequat hated Oranbega then, and would hate that which we have become even more. However, it must be remembered that her hatred stemmed from our refusal to bow down to the gods in all things, as she thought it was proper for mortals. That aspect may bode ill for the peoples and cultures of this modern era. |

Yes, absolutely. She should be used more. As widespread as the COT are, they should be doing something about her. Not to mention the Banished Pantheon. Even a time-travel mission of some sort where you're sent back to the banishing of the BP's gods would be interesting - and then, given our upcoming "shades of grey," make your own mind up about the truth of the Mu-Orenbanga war(s.)
Add in Ermeeth, as mentioned above. Not sure that Tielekku would be currently available, given some of what's mentioned in game - unless I'm remembering wrong.
Personally, I wish they'd involve more literal gods in the game's story. Hequat is a great little cameo, but it'd be nice to see the old faces back, like Tielekku, Ermeeth and especially Lughebu. There are few things more ego-boosting than fighting a god and winning. That one fight with Hequat in Scirocco's arc is much more impressive than the final fight with Lord Recluse. I mean, she's a goddess. He's at best a demigod, if that. I know she's supposed to be weaker, but so what? She's still a literal goddess.
I suspect we'll see some of that with I19's Incarnate system, but I hope we keep the spirit of the Hequat fight, in that she's in a regular mission and scales down into an EB.

I somewhat suspect that we'll get to fight the actual Pantheon with the Dark Astoria revamp that was mentioned a couple years ago.
I wouldn't count on Hequat and other demi-gods to be part of the Incarnate system right now. From the information that we have now, the Incarnate system will require Going Rogue, and that Positron's end-game is probably going to be set in the Praetorian realm.
We don't know that the Mu and the Circle had the clash in the Praetorian realm that they had in our realm, nor do we know if Hequat exists in the Praetorian realm at all.
Given the story that we know of Hequat, the only reason she's IN one mission at all is because it is the summoning mission where she is brought back. In modern Paragon, she pretty much can only show up once...
That being said... the Midnighter Club already places Heroes and Villains into the Imperious / Romulus conflict, so it might make sense to expose additional storylines involving the war between the Circle and the Mu in the past.
A good interjection point might be: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Mu
But another race, the Coralax, already lived on the island of Mu before it was raised from the sea.[2] There was then a great war between the ancient Mu civilization and the Coralax. In the war, the Leviathan was called forth by the Coralax High Priest, Calystix the Shaper.[3] The Leviathan threatened to devour all the Mu, and it was only through the intervention of the Mu goddess Hequat that saved the Mu. She turned it into coral and trapped the Leviathan beneath the Island,[2] underneath what is now known as Sharkhead Isle.[3] |
We don't know exactly what Hequat did to save the Mu... it's possible that she called forth adventures from beyond the veil to her aid... the most powerful beings she could locate... the Powers of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
She is one of the best looking AV's in the game with those unique costume pieces. I went to do some research on her to see what other arcs I could fight her in and found that she is only in ONE mission in the entire game! (Scirocco Patron)
This is a waste to me... |
It does seem odd that she has all those cool costume pieces and is in only ONE mission in the entire game.
|
But what about:
- t3h S00p4rFr34k! (Destroy the SuperFreak)
- Bile (Rescue Vivian van Dyne)
(In fact, the Freakshow in general get cool stuff we don't, but Bile at least is around our model size) - Dr. Quatrexin (Defeat Dr. Quatrexin)
There are also a few who only show up during a TF/SF/Trial, but those can be repeated outside of Ouroboros.

Good god... Who drew these? Is that a professional comic book?
|
Edit - yep. Top cow run, #15.
I believe those were part of the later COH comics. I seem to remember that grouping of the BP's deities.

Hmmm: http://www.delcarsdungeon.com/mels/i...slayer_205.jpg
Sorry, I know it's a wee bit off topic, but it's been bugging me since I first saw this thread. Hequat and The First Slayer are strikingly similar in design...

So I have ran the Scirocco arc a few times with various toons, and each time I do I find this mission to be great. She is one of the best looking AV's in the game with those unique costume pieces. I went to do some research on her to see what other arcs I could fight her in and found that she is only in ONE mission in the entire game! (Scirocco Patron)
This is a waste to me as I was reading up on this character, it leaves a lot to the imagination to pursue her story more.
Here is a quote from the link above:

How would others feel about this?
This is too epic to just have ONE mission in the whole game?
