Introducing Major Anniversary!

Introducing:

Major Anniversary, AKA Jim "Da Dude" Chambers, had spent much of his twenties being a celebrity-hero in Hollywood, charming the paparazzi and the ladies. But then the Major heard about a huge celebration back east in Paragon City, some kind of seven year celebration. His agent thought it would be a great idea to get in some “real” hero work to boost his sagging ratings.

When he arrived he discovered that working the streets was very different from the scripted fights he was used to. Real people were getting hurt, worse he was actually getting hit!

He decided that he would be a real hero and make this an Anniversary to remember! Nightly parties celebrating whatever it was he was here to celebrate, dancing with Carnival of Shadows ladies in Pocket D, TP’ing Fort Trident, trying to crash the Freedom Phalanx poker game and hitting on Nocturne and Ghost Widow and Lady Liberty.

If he has to do a little crime fighting to mug for the camera then so be it. Besides, sometime’s hotties need rescuing too.



Where can a bro' get a drink around here?


This is my way of doing a personal celebration on the streets of the Liberty Server.
My plan is to play Major Anniversary during the celebration and get him one level at least a day. Once the celebration is over, I will retire him until next year (he will get a new chest emblem)

So if you see him on the streets, say hi. Remember he parties so you don't have to!

Well, the Major made level 6 by dealing some punishment out to thugs in Atlas Park. He also took down a Dyne lab a few Council bases. All that crime busting made him thirsty so he swung by Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grill in Galaxy City and had a few cold ones. While he was there, he tried to get one of the patrons to explain this whole 7 year thing. They just kind of snickered and before he could follow up, a wet t-shirt contest got started and he got distracted.

After that he thought about going to Hollows and laying a smackdown on the Trolls but when he found out that it pretty deserted and that some the babes who needed rescuing were actually shills for the skulls he decided to give it pass.

Besides, all those green skinned trolls really clash with his red cape thus ruining any photo ops.

He tried to find something at Architect Entertainment but none of the stories were about him so he knew it wouldn't be any fun.

So off to King's Row!

Very nicely done! I'll really be impressed if you're able to get to 50 in 50 days. Of course, this is coming from someone who's only got one 50, so I can't say much. If I see the good Major around, he's more than welcome to team with any of my characters.

Thanks for the kind words!

I am usually pretty slow at leveling as well (alt-itis) but it will be fun to try. No power leveling, just gonna run missions and do TF's if one turns up. However far he gets, it will still be fun to try.

I'll try to keep updating this thread with his exploits and progress.

Cute idea.

oh, and:

Thanks! I love SF and fantasy books set in and around bars. I suspect the Major will be hitting a few others along the way.

I wish they had the moonbase zone or something like that then I could have kept the title correct but since I couldn't I changed it to fit the context.

Darn it! Just realized if I placed the bar in Galaxy City it would kinda work.

*fixed

King’s Row turned out to be kind of a hole, tenements, factories and sleazy bars. The bar part was OK, but the rest…ehh.. The coolest thing he saw there was the big huge coin with a cop dude standing around it, guarding it 24/7/365.

Then he got this guy begging him to stop a gang war and destroy some drug labs. The Major hates all this small stuff because you can never get coverage dealing with gangs, there’s just too many of them for it to be big news.
Now it is true that the Major does enjoy his better living through chemistry as his hedonistic lifestyle help fuels his powers, but street drugs? Too risky, no quality control. You never know what they cut the drugs with, just that they always get cut. No problem smashing those into little bits of frozen, burning metal and plastic.

Then some cop wanted to see him about The Circle of Thorns getting out hand in Perez park. Thin the herd a little, he says. The Major thought Perez Park looked pretty cool when he saw it until he realized that it was full of gangbangers, weirdoes and monsters. He probably would have been fine except that he attacked 10 at once. They started cutting and shooting some green energy crap and that stuff hurt. He took down six and injured the rest before he had to use his medical teleporter Sadly for the circle, they had no such devices and the Major went back and kicked some gluteius maximus.

Suddenly, he was Level 7! He celebrated by having a fondue/weenie roast using the flame pits at City Hall. He also passed out Major Celebration Pins to the citizens and smiling his great big, toothy grin dipped half burned weenies into the steaming fondue pot.

Busy Week for the Major.

There was a dance party on top of the Atlas globe that spilled over to the roof of city hall (The mayor was not amused). Police came along and busted it up because there was no permit.

Tried to give Statesman a birthday party at In Front. There was cake with a big 7 on it, punch, pie and some tacos whose shells were made out of Doritios. There was even a swag bag (A DVD of the Major fighting crime on the west coast)! But Statesman didn’t show. He sent a note saying something about invasion or crime or wasn’t the right time to celebrate, the gist being that he is a big party pooper. Oh well, I am sure that the In Front steak house is insured against damage and that they will open again soon.

Got rushed by some fraternity in Steel Canyon. With a name like Midnighter’s Club you know these guys know how to party all night long! Turns out that it’s just a bunch of mages with a (admittedly cool) clubhouse. A little disappointing until an impromptu meeting in council chamber turning into a full blown rave! Hey, they may be villains, but blood widows know how to get down and bring the funk. Montague showed up, temporarily stopped time, and sent us all packing.

Oh yeah, hit level 12 and fought some ugly zombies that puked on him, yet more gangbangers, some Lost and some Rikiti.

The Major’s party agenda has been pretty full so he has had barely any time for bashing badguys. That, however, did not stop him from reaching Level 25!:

"I visited Faultline and stopped an arachnos scheme to control the future through the past or was it the past through the future? (time travel gives me a headache) Then I went to Striga Island cuz I thought I would able to catch some rays. Nope just Thugs, thugs and more thugs! Those Council guys really need to take a chill pill. Very uptight!

He also took a ski trip! See Pics Below:




A good ski run but now it's time to warm up!




Hanging out by the fire and people watching



There was the cute snow bunny that the Major really took a shine to. Too bad it didn't work out:





"Just chillin'. waiting to do a ski Run.



OMG! She's Hawt!!!



What's the best approach? I wonder...hmm..



I'll try the direct approach!



She Slapped ME! Ouch!



Rejected and devastated!

Oh well, there's always the Club to try and pick up an escourt for the evening! I mean a date!"

The Major is really getting tired.

All the partying and hero-ing is catching up with him. Still he managed to Hit 30! He has only 4 levels to go to hit his goal of one level for every day of the celebration. He has been looking for a resort or a vacation spot to recover from all his heroic deeds (and late nights)

In the meantime, trying to relax he took an excursion train to a quaint resort call Croatoa. He heard about the beaches and the hot college girls. When he got there…Monsters, Ghosts, Witches, Fey were overrunning the whole town! What could he do?. He had to help out but luckily he did get a chance to work on his tan.

BEACH PARTY!!



After dealing with the horrors of Croatoa, he really needed to get away. So he booked a gambling cruise to the Rouge Islands. He was little sketchy about why so many people looked at him like he was crazy, but he figured it out when he got there. People were downright unfriendly. Still, the trip had some good moments.

Obelisk at the Giza Casino.

Pretty cool fountain!

Shooting some craps.




Watching them roll...



Winnah!!!



Turns out they don't like winners here.
Johnny Sonata "invited" me to leave and not come back.

So I decided to see the sights:



This sign lied. There was no fun. This place was a dump.



Ahoy! Looking for Pirate Gold!



A beach with no monsters! YES!!!!



A quick radio interview for all my fans



Compensating much? Lord Recluse must be wee!



I thought about putting the moves on Ghost Widow. But I decided that I didn't want to be murdered.

All in all not a bad place to visit but who would want to live there? Next is wrap party at Pocket D on the 31st! Pics to follow!
