The "Icons" of Virtue

Ascendant.

I'll also mention one character that's not around any more, BlackSpiralDancer. Being a tall, green, moss-covered werewolf does tend to make one stand out, and he played the disturbing villain well.

I don't know if many would consider him an icon for all of Virtue, but he was one of those characters that RPers just gravitated towards. Yes, there are others that can do that and still play, I mention him in particular because he's no longer in the game.

"I do so love taking a nice, well thought out character and putting them through hell. It's like tossing a Faberge Egg onto the stage during a Gallagher concert." - me

Maybe i9, even... I was around in the i6-ish time period, and a lot of these names aren't even ringing a bell, let alone bringing in memories.

Nope, but I do like seeing someone and going "Hey! I know that name from the forums! Cool to actually see the character in game!"

That, and for a lot of us (I imagine old timers especially) there are just certain characters who helped define the feel of the Virtue world for us. It's not about who's better or more popular or whatever, it's about who's a defining figure for you in the world.

For me, in no particular order: Ascendant, Square Woot, Pengi, Doctor Crom, Captain Valor, Rakescar, Deathspider (I wouldn't generally list friends, but I knew who this guy was before I knew him personally), Killer Whale, Kelp Plankton, Oksah (what's with the aquatic characters?), Terra Skye, Xanatos. Probably others I'm forgetting from back in the day.

But that's not being an 'icon'! That's being a cool person that you wish to see them in game!

I'm having a hard time distinguishing 'celebrity' and 'icon' in this particular thread/context. To me, an 'icon' is someone who would represent a particular event/place/action/etc.

If Virtue was to have an icon...it wouldn't be a person. It would be the RP community as a whole. Cause when everyone says 'Virtue' chances are, they probably immediately think of RP. Catgirls and Pocket D could be viable icons too...I'm just sayin'!

But to me, everyone who's been named here is nothing more than simply celebrities. And and trying to pick who is popular and who is not is just a really stupid game, in my opinion.

Hmmm...

Back in the day, the Liberty League SG was the source of great amounts of fun and was well known for things such as winning the first CoH Film Festival...

...and Battle Bovine Comics.

http://www.angelfire.com/comics/battlebovine/

Characters such as Battle Bovine, Boscoe, and the rest of the gang were well known across servers. They're one of the main reasons I migrated to Virtue from Guardian after my first year ingame.

Later on, some of the characters that I personally came to identify with our server are those such as Killer Whale, BBQ Pork, Comrade Smersh, Heroid, and Ireland "Maggie" Love (of Maggie's Rock). Whether or not they're "icons" to others I don't know. They're iconic to me, and that's the only point of view I'm qualified to represent.

check, check, check agree with you 100% although I would then list members of the Original Guardian Angels, well original as in Version two, since Version one was before I got there and lasted for a very short amount of time.

with this said how can we forget to mention these heroes.

I'm totally a Virtue Icon.

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. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
