hey all,

I'm coming back to CoH and im curious:

Is there any stable SG around? I'm asking only because i feel a bit more lonely without an SG under my name ><

Also, I just learned that I can make Warshades and peacebringers. I'm currently leveling one (lvl 11 after 2 days), is blue side always this empty,even at night? I'm struggling to find teams to go and just have a blast with.

the thing is I dont have people to fall back on. Most of the people I've known havent been back for quite awhile.

I was also unable to find a good fit for my Kheldian considering SGs..or it might be the fact that im just being really hard-headed when it comes down to things.

Another question,are Kheldians "looked down upon" because of how the class is designed when thrown into RP? I -really- like the concept of the Warshades (especially the void-ish powers^^ )

No particular AT is looked down upon from an RP stand point. However, there are mixed feelings about RPing Kheldians that aren't actually Kheldians but something else entirely.

The Codex is a solid RP SG that's pretty active right now. Check out the link in my sig and see if the theme would work for you. :-)

Tangent is a small but growing SG with a focus on extraterrestrials (including Kheldians) and interdimensionals. We only have seven active members right now, but we're working on building a solid foundation for a great group, and already have stories in-play. If you're interested, contact @Hero Prime in-game or visit our (new and still a little quiet) website at www.tangentstation.com.


Where do we go from here?

No, no one plays this game anymore.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

As long as you're not saying you're a Kheldian but altering Kheldian lore, then where's the problem? Anyone who says there's a problem is wrong. When the game doesn't offer you the tools to directly create your concept, work within the tools to get as close as possible. Sometimes Kheldian fits the bill.

I'm with Tyger on this. I've had a Peacebringer almost from the very beginning, and while it's actually been several characters (Zoe Brightstar, Heavendust, Flutterfly, and finally Starbright), not all of them have been connected to Kheldian lore. The first, Zoe Brightstar, was a human merged with a Kheldian, and followed lore to the letter. The second, Heavendust, never did get a story, though she was the first incarnation of the single-form Peacebringer for me. When I couldn't come up with a successful story for her, I changed her name to Flutterfly, a character my daughter played in a homebrew supers tabletop RPG we played, and used her backstory. That character, again, was single form, and wasn't connected to Kheldian lore at all - in fact, she was a fairy for whom light was a source of power. Finally, because I wanted to try something new, I gave the Peacebringer the name Starbright. She's still single-form, but she's part of a project much like the Galaxy project in The Council. The idea is a company contracting with the U.S. Air Force came up with a means to crystalize Kheldian essence given freely by volunteers. In doing so, they created pure Kheldian energy fragments, much like the fragments infused in Galaxy troops. The beauty of the idea is, like the fragments in a Galaxy can grow to a full Nictus, allowing the trooper to make that change later on, the energy fragments used for this single-form Peacebringer could, in time, grow into a full, discreet Kheldian, thus allowing her to go tri-form.

Anyway, I think people need to lay off those who use single-form Peacebringers and Warshades for things other than what they were intended to do. Either that or get on the case of everyone using dark for dust (the lore says it's dark, negative energy!) and half a dozen other powersets in ways they weren't intended. I mean, after all, anything else would be hypocritical.


Where do we go from here?

Eh, disregard folks who make a big deal of it, I say. Don't need elitist snobs trying to tell me how to RP. Honestly, I think not being able to improvise within the system is a mark of BAD RP rather than good.

Unfortanately, Mondo will be gone a while.

He can't pay for his account.

But we have time to man the defenses!

Huh... I thought he'd been quiet.

Well, while I don't particularly see eye to eye with him, I'll wish him well. Lor' knows I've been in the same position a few times.

Long story short, he believes that Kheldians Should Be Kheldians very, er... vocally.

Mondo's got a point. But that's an entirely different point and we shouldn't threadjack.


Good luck with looking for a group that fits your bill, and remember to give the Superhero Group Directory a lookover.

He can believe whatever he wants, but telling me how to RP *MY* character is overstepping the line. Like I said, as long as I'm not altering established lore... Some guy once was playing a Kheld and his bio went on all about how Khelds were somehow descended from ancient dragons and blah blah.... That's bad form. Using a Peacebringer to make an angel character, that's fine.

Right on top of his head, apparently. ><
