Whose Heroes will fall when Going Rogue comes out?

Beware. Rider 00 might suddenly turn villain...might 
Quite a few of my characters might become neutral. I dunno yet.
I know one that is going to do an alignment corkscrew though. Assuming that article on going undercover in Praetoria was true...
Resistance - > Loyalist (Saboteur) -> Villain -> Rogue -> Hero.
I have my reasons.
Lets see. Heroes that will be either Villian or Rogue:
Empathy/Dual Pistols Defender (Hello Abyss Hami Raids)
Traps/Dual Pistols Defender
Traps/Sonic Defender
Invuln/Mace Tank
I like blue ATs but I prefer redside content with a few rare exceptions.
I can only really think of one of my heroes who might consider leaving Paragon, but it would really be a blow to his 'character'. Trickster's Jackalope might become somewhere in the middle ground, because he's never quite learned to control his burny bits, and people get hurt. That, and he's been blessed by Coyote, a little chaos never hurt him.
I am however planning on very different versions of other characters. Those remain to be seen whether they'd work or not.

Nerima Girl is a Natural Stone/Energy Brute, now level 42. She's a martial artist who has the strange ability to pull mallets seemingly out of thin air. She's basically a good person, but she can be very destructive. Her life after leaving Japan has been an endless stream of misunderstandings, compounded by the fact that she doesn't understand English very well. If it's feasible for my characters to switch sides, then Nerima Girl will be the first to do so.
As far as heroes go, I have a few who might fall victim to some evil brainwashing, but most are solidly heroic.
None of my heroes will be going redside. Indeed, after GR goes live and I get my villains switched over I may never go redside again.

Nerima seems like she might be perfect for the Tokusatsu Hero Force, which is ran by Kiro Takihata, aka Rider 00.

But I have a weird situation with at least one of them as far as that's concerned. When I created my first "main" character Loth back in April 2004 I ironically enough had as her backstory that she was basically an evil demoness that had turned good (almost exactly like Desdemona 6 years before the Devs stole my idea
). Of course that was at a time well before villains existed in the game much less being able to switch sides. Now that sideswitching will be doable I'm going to send her over to become a villain not only for the redside badges but to have her sort of "backasswardly" go though her origin journey of eventually becoming a hero... again.

Hero-wise Most will stay heroic, some will shift to vigilante, one or two will 'Go Rogue' and possibly even further to full blown villain. Of my villains, most will remain villainous, one will become a loose cannon type of rogue and one 'bots' mastermind will become a vigilante but no further.

Right now I'm leveling a new DM/SD scrapper up specifically for him to go bad. As far as my other chars, we'll see.
My heroes are going to be vigilantes, and my villains (save one) are going to be rogues. Just like my personality. I'm not Dr. Evil evil nor am Clark Kent.
As on-the-fence characters, will we be able to essentially do any taskforce or strikeforce we want to?

As to the topic, most of my heroes were created with a vigilante lean to their stories so all but maybe one or two will go at least that far if not back around to Rogue.
The Revenants and Vengeance Imperium-Triumph, Champion & now flavoring Justice!
Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!
Shhh! Rangle is plotting.
My main badge toon will be heading redside for a crazed badging frenzy, but I'll probably bring her back blueside when I'm done.
Arc#314490: Zombie Ninja Pirates!

Death is part of my attack chain.
I don't have many heroes that will go totally red but I do have at least one going gray. She's a druidic type right now but will go gray to dish out some hurt to anyone messing with Mother Nature (heroes or villains).

Most likely my Warshade.

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

My DM/SR Scrapper(MunkiLord) will go evil for a bit to get all the TF badges and do some story arcs. After that he'll probably be somewhere in the middle.
I have "none" planned right now, but it's more a matter if I come up with a story for someone that appeals to me. Right now it's just in the "it's an option" pile.
I have two redsiders coming over to blue, but one of those will be returning ("It's all a trick!" ).
Dec out.
I may end up doing a Warshade and an Illusion/Rad actually. So that may make 3 heroes who stray from the Blue.

Zilch. I might (rather, will) make hero ATs on villain-side, but that'll be from the get-go. I don't have the habit of making characters who are not what the game says they are, so I never made "not a hero" heroes.
I am, in fact, doubting whether I'll make any of my heroes into vigilantes, either. My view of what a vigilante is might not exactly match up to what the developers see as a vigilante.

Seeing as how I have maybe three decent hero toons, not all that much. My current toon is a FF/DP defender, an alien cop who's come to Earth; turns out she has a food allergy that makes her turn evil sometimes though... she even has an evil costume ready!
None of my Heroes will fall.
About 1/3 of my Villains will be redeemed, however. The others are too crazy or too power-mad or too unconcerned with life (other than their own).
But yeah, no heroes are crossing over at all.

There is some trouble with some of the power sets being "heroic," though. I took a look at /Traps, but the Tier 9 is blowing one of your minions to kingdom come to take out your foes... I am having some trouble figuring out any Heroic Way to push that detonator, so /Traps is a pass at the moment.
Still a possibility, though, BBQ... still a possibility if I really want to play /Traps. I just don't like the motif as such, although when you get right down to it, there would not be a whole lot of difference between blowing up your bot and using a cruise missile. Still a possibility.
