The Legio Praetoria

When the inspiration to create alts hit me, it his me pretty hard. This concept has been bouncing around in my head for the better part of a week, The Legio Praetoria.

These are Praetoria's Mightiest Heroes, sworn to defend the citizens of Praetoria and enforce the laws of Emperor Cole.




Praefectus Ultima - The Sentinel of Security is a grizzled veteran of the Hamidon Wars and continues to serve Emperor Cole as leader of the Legio. His battlecry, "Pax Praetoria!" is often enough to send foes fleeing before him.




Lorica Vulcanus - The Armor of Vulcan is worn by the personal body guard of the CEO of Vulcan Enterprises, a major weapons supplier to the IDF.




Jupiter Fulgens - A mighty and noble being from another dimension has adopted the guise of an aspect of Jupiter. The power of the storms themselves are wielded in the Name of the Emperor!




Orcuss - An unnamed victim of a military experiment gone wrong, the Unbelievable Orcuss was created in the accidental detonation of a new type bomb. Possessing incredible strength and durability, the Orcuss is an unstoppable force in the fight against those who would oppose the Emperor.




Centurion Arcus - Originally a special operative in the IDF, the man now known as Centurion Arcus is an accomplished bowman and utilizes an extensive array of hi-tech arrows.




Vespa-Dyne - Even the privileged classes in Praetoria heed the call of the Emperor. The Vespa-Dyne is the invention of the heiress to Janus Technology. Based on a common Clockwork body, the Vespa-Dyne is yet another arrow in the arsenal of the Legio.

Those all ROCK!

I've changed the Legio Praetoria a little bit and added some new heroes.

The Legio Praetoria are Praetoria's Mightiest Heroes, sworn to defend the citizens of Praetoria and enforce the laws of Emperor Cole. Their ranks are divided into two cohorts, each a powerful team in its own right.

The Vengeance Cohort


Tribune Praetoria - The Sentinel of Security is a grizzled veteran of the Hamidon Wars and continues to serve Emperor Cole as leader of the Vengeance Cohort. His battlecry, "Pax Praetoria!" is often enough to send foes fleeing before him.




Lorica Vulcanus - The Armor of Vulcan is worn by the personal body guard of the CEO of Vulcan Enterprises, a major weapons supplier to the IDF.




Jupiter Fulgens - A mighty and noble being from another dimension has adopted the guise of an aspect of Jupiter. The power of the storms themselves are wielded in the Name of the Emperor!




Vespa-Dyne - Even the privileged classes in Praetoria heed the call of the Emperor. The Vespa-Dyne is the invention of the heiress to Janus Technology. Based on a common Clockwork body, the Vespa-Dyne is yet another arrow in the arsenal of the Legio.



Orcuss - An unnamed victim of a military experiment gone wrong, the Unbelievable Orcuss was created in the accidental detonation of a new type bomb. Possessing incredible strength and durability, the Orcuss is an unstoppable force in the fight against those who would oppose the Emperor.




Centurion Arcus - Originally a special operative in the IDF, the man now known as Centurion Arcus is an accomplished bowman and utilizes an extensive array of hi-tech arrows.



Tigris Nox - The silent Tigris Nox stalks his prey in the concrete jungles of Praetoria. It is rumored that Tigris Nox fought his way to Praetoria from the Hamidon infested lands of Africa.



The Justice Cohort


Praefectus Ultima - Perhaps the only known survivor of the devastated wasteland once known as Kansas, the child who would be Praefectus Ultima was raised in the orphanages of The Emperor's Children. Imbued with great strength and power, he serves the father of all Praetorians, Emperor Cole, as the leader of the Justice Cohort.





Centurion Noctis - Not much is known of this dark centurion, only that he possesses a ruthless intellect and a body honed into the ultimate human weapon.





Praetoria Maxima - A member of a tribe of warrior women from the ruins of South America, Maxima is one of the most powerful and skilled fighters in the Legio.





Viridicatus - Wielding his emerald energy gauntlets, Viridicatus is a fearless soldier of the Emperor.





Celeres - A former forensic scientist for the PPD and now the swiftest man alive, Celeres possesses lightning speed and harnesses the kinetic energy of his super speed to deliver powerful melee attacks.




Aquila Domina - Another former operative of the PPD, Aquila Domina swoops down from the skies, her twin gladii cutting a path of death towards her opponents.


Venator Martialis - An alien refugee, the Venator Martialis, uses his powerful psychic abilities to defeat all those who would tear down Praetoria.

These are great costumes Wei Yau, and a brilliant background concept. You could launch your own game pack with these good work.

Very cool - 2 thumbs up!

Please don't stop doing this. It's really, really awesome.

These are all honestly fantastic, costume and thematic wise. I'm SUPER freaking jealous. Celeres and Vespa-Dyne rock my socks right off!

Thank you all for the kind words! That's wonderful encouragement for me and I really appreciate it.

Making alts in CoH is the creative outlet for me for the last two years, not only with costumes, but with backstories that I've been writing. As much as I do it for myself, I do appreciate the compliments.

So, thank you, again.

I'm tempted to make more, though I've already filled up all available slots on Pinnacle with the Legio Praetoria. And I really doubt I can justify purchasing another full server of slots (as I've done on Virtue) just to make more alts.

But....I've been thinking about how a certain team of mutants would make excellent Resistance/Syndicate members.

At first I thought I was going nuts, then I saw "But....I've been thinking about how a certain team of mutants would make excellent Resistance/Syndicate members. " and realized no, they are what I think they are hehehe.

I thought I'd finally snapped and was seeing comic book references in everything.

Here are two possible new alts for the Legio. As much as I like these two, I'm unable to come up with good ideas for the other members of the team they reference.

Legatus Apollo


Balatro


Ninox Minerva

Inspiration strikes again and I present to you the third Cohort of the Legio Praetoria. This is a secret branch within the Legion, tasked with more covert operations, as well as watching over the Legio itself.

The Custodes Cohort

Phoebus Primordius - The result of an IDF weapons experiment gone wrong, Phoebus Primordius is a being of pure atomic energy.


Balatro - One of the best assassins in service of the Emperor, Balatro's jovial appearance is in stark contrast to his sadistic nature.


Ninox Minerva - This stalwart hero uses his great technological knowledge and combat prowess to safeguard Praetoria.


Domina Phasma - The daughter of Balatro and the second to bear the name, Domina Phasma, leads a mob of convicted criminals eager to curry her favor in order to continue living in the service of Emperor Cole.


Cui Perfidus - The ever-vigilant, Cui Perfidus, asks only one question, "Who is treasonous?"

Fun fact: Every time I see this thread title I misread it as "Lego Praetoria." But meanwhile:

Araneon - A former intern at the TPN, Araneon uses powers gained from one of Neuron's experiments to watch Praetoria from high on her majestic skyscrapers' walls, snaring dissidents easily and delivering them to the BAF.

Very nice, flashrains! I'll be honest and admit that I was stymied trying to come up with the same concept.

Glad to help... he seemed conspicuously absent

Nice! I hope you don't mind if I steal a couple of ideas from this thread.

Forgot one more member of the Cohort Custodes.

Augustus - One of the most intelligent operatives in the Legio, Augustus has honed both his mind and body to the limits of human perfection. Combined with his cunning and cold logic, the enemies of Praetoria are as dust before him.
