As The City Turns

The Paragon Studios Dev team take keen notice of the interests of the player base and usually react appropriately. Lately the players have displayed keen interest in the possible relationship of Positron and Numina. In the past they even attended the (multiple) wedding(s) of Manticore and Sister Psyche.

If the PSD decide to pounce on this trend, we may very well see the Canon of the game begin to more strongly resemble your average daily soap opera.

Developments to look forward to:

* Manticore and Sister Psyche have a baby girl, but Psyche dies in childbirth! Unbeknownst to her grieving husband, she has hooked a ride on his own daughter! How will Manticore handle it when he finally learns his daughter is also his wife?!

* Synapse has at last found love! After years of horn-dogging it with his female fans, Synapse finds true love with the spirit of War Witch in Crotoa. But theirs can only be a relationship of feelings with her being immaterial. Will their love last? Will Synapse give in to temptation and look towards Pocket D for surcease? How will War Witch handle it if she learns Synapse has cheated on her... with herself?

* Positron and Numina had two years of happy marriage before a Rikti Invasion ended in the apparent capture of his bride. After time he finally accepted she wouldn't return and began to date again. Now he has fallen in love with a lovely scientist but Numina has returned; already half way through the Riktification process! If that weren't bad enough, only Positron's new paramour has the scientific know-how to reverse the process! Will she give him back his wife only to lose her love forever?!

* Azuria found a small statuette of a greek warrior that turned out to be magical. It was an actual greek soldier from days gone by! She fell in love with the man, who could only transform to flesh form during the full moon. But alas! Criminals have broken into the Magi vault and stolen his statue along with other magical artifacts! What will Azuria do?!

* Penelope Yin, all grown up now, was shocked when Citadel approached her to ask her on a date. She refused at first, but after time finally relented. They began to develop a relationship and soon she found herself deliriously in love with him. But when another hero claims they found a pile of robotic parts that appear to have belonged to Citadel, she begins to have suspicions. Then she enters the bedroom to find "Citadel" with his chest plate open... inside he has been hollowed... the space now filled with a brain floating in a jar!

* After years of living under his curse Scirocco has finally found the spell to break it. At long last he is able to use his powers for good and not have their ends twisted to evil! He makes one last attempt to sway Ghost Widow to the light; declaring his undying love and devotion. She rejects him. With broken heart he goes over to the hero's side... only to find no one much likes him over there either.

* After years and years of trying to get back in Emperor Cole's good graces, Anti-Matter finally abandons his orbital space station to take more direct measures. Cole is receiving a report from Neuron when Anti-Matter bursts into the room. In a rage he places Neuron in a containment field and threatens to kill the man who usurped his position. During his disjointed diatribe Anti-Matter admits "I love you, you cold ba***rd! I've always loved you!" To which Cole replies "yeah, I know... why do you think I put you in the space station?"

* Lord Nemesis invests resources into tracking every relationship, every involvement, every nuance and emotion in this new version of Paragon City. His hope is that by understanding who loves whom and what alliances and emnities there are, he will be able to manipulate the whole to his advantage. After years of effort and millions of dollars invested, his faithful minions bring him the chart of inter-relations of the various heroes and villains. Nemesis examines it carefully... and quietly announces his retirement.

* When Fusionette finds out about Statesline, distraught and upset she doesn't know where to turn. Wandering about in a daze she meets the one person that will always be there, and falls madly in love with none other than Lord Nemesis himself.

Good grief Rad, you should know that picture is FAR too big for signatures.

Actually I would love to read a Praetorian version of the story too.

Just her efforts to get up to the orbiting space station to see Anti-Matter in the first place would be interesting.

Praetorian Tava, is a wormie faced giant monster. eeeeeewwww
