Ugh.

In Soviet Preatoria, jokes make fun of YOU!
Actually, two of my characters are from Soviet Praetoria -- Deva Molniya (Дева Молния), an Elec/Elec Dominator, and Obmorozheniye (Обморожение), an Ice/Ice Dominator. Stretching the lore of the world a little to get a more unique character...

Deva Molniya's background:
Quote:
Larisa Yaroslavna had wanted nothing more than to be just another one of the children in her conurb, but her appearance -- supposedly the legacy of her parents, exposed to Devouring Earth mutagens while escaping from eastern Europe during the Hamidon Wars -- made her the victim of abuse by her fellow children, despite the Education Directors' insistence that everyone was the same before Emperor Cole, no matter what they looked like. As she grew, she found herself more and more isolated, looking up at the seedy underbelly of Cole's 'perfect society', until the day she manifested the ability to project and control electricity, and was ordered to report to Powers Division for induction into its ranks. From being unwanted for her appearance to being desired for her abilities alone... Her tightly-held illusions began to erode...
Obmorozheniye's background:
Quote:
"Look -- cryonic suspension units! And one's still running!"
"What's inside?"
"I can't tell; they never have windows on -- wait. There's a label. Says 'Обморожение' - 'Frostbite'."
"What does that mean?"
"Damned if I know. Mark it for retrieval."

Recovered from a cryogenic unit in the ruins of what had been the Sechenov Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry by a team from Nova Praetoria, Varushka Vorotovna didn't know where her powers came from; she had grown up in a Soviet family, parents and siblings also 'special'. No records concerning her were found; she recounted her training to become a member of Народная Армия and sessions at the Institute to gauge her abilities, needed in the fight against the Devouring Earth hordes. The Devouring Earth had breached the Institute while Varushka was there; trapped underground, the researchers put first Varushka, then each other, into cryogenic units to wait for rescue... which never came.
There's more background behind each of the characters, but that's what appears in their online information.


"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."

I'm with you. While I love the costumes and costume creator I usually can only make 1 or 2 that I am truely happy with per character. And for my Widows well the Arachnos costumes are so cool I don't want to use standard costumes.

I do wish that Arachnos ATs could have multiple slots for Arachnos costumes if the want.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

These are both awesome, IMO.

I did a little playing around with Soviet Praetoria as well. The bit of world-building I did can be found here, though I never did finish that story.
