A New Halloween

I come once again for aid from my Virtue peeps!

After many years of having my Halloween character, Mister Halloween, as a Necro/Dark MM and always contemplating on what to remake him as, the time has come. Primarily because I finally got an eye aura that plays well with Mister Halloween's look. I've always held off on updating his look because for MALES only, the Skull belts are removed from the Jacket options and the skull belt buckle look is a signature style of his. The eye aura trumped it though so now I'm going to reroll him.

Here is his old look:

And his new look:



He takes on the forms of a ghost, werewolf, vampire, Frankenstein's monster, a mummy and various other classic Halloween costumes.

My issue (other than the missing skull belt!) is that I can't decide which powerset to use and was looking for some advice from you guys on what you'd think would fit the various looks and the overall concept.

My thoughts so far are:

Thugs/Dark MM
Dark/Dark Blaster
Dark/Mental Blaster (for the concept of feeding on people's psychic terror to power his abilities)
Fire/Dark Blaster (magical jack o lantern flames?)
Dark/Dark Stalker
Dark/Dark Brute
Mix in any with Fire as a primary for magical lantern flames (fire/dark stalker, fire/dark brute)

Fire/Dark or Dark/Dark Corruptor

So as you can see, definitely want dark but not sure if I should incorporate any melee into it due to the Werewolf and Frankenstein's Monster brutish forms. Originally I just tried to use builds that has Air Superiority and a Super Jump travel power for those "forms" he took - although I could get away with Beast Run for free for the Werewolf at least.

Thanks for any advice/tips!

Just in case you didn't know;
Apocalypse Survivor Badge

Unlocks the Pumpkin Head



Looks much better with Orange as the main color. Even better with the arcane high collar cape!

Otherwise, I think the current version of Mr. Halloween is just fine.

Thanks! Yah, I always steered clear of that costume piece but only because I liked my original look too much to give that up and didn't have enough costume slots to do just a pumpkin guy (what with vampires, ghosts, werewolves, etc to do). But now that we have the option to buy more costume slots...

I'm more concerned about the power selection though at this point. It's vexing! :P

Someone said Dark/Dark for some ranged and melee but I'm not sure how I feel about that effect, regardless of how it's colored, on a werewolf and Frankenstein Monster. May just limit those forms to travel forms or something. Or do a non blapper set and restrict those forms to power pool melee attacks that are only used with a build tied to the forms. Sigh.. slave to concept.

Now I'm wondering if tinting the dark blasts would make the skull look like a flaming pumpkin...

I would say, regardless of your secondary, Dark should be tolerable for a Werewolf and Frankenstein.

You could limit the Wolf to only using Smite and Maul, AS, maybe boxing etc.
You could limit the Vampire to only being able to use the blasts after a successful
'Feeding' via Siphon life.
Frank could be the combined pieces of monsters, giving him powers or he could just be slow and prodding and only use a few regular attacks and temps like the sledgehammer(Gabriels) and bat and such.

Then again, you could just mention the magical talisman he wears that imbues all forms with magical offensive abilities.

Good point about the Talisman. :P

Yah, I keep hoping for a temp power that we can get in game or buy that has the flaming pumpkin attack from the Fir Bolg.

Perhaps a Fire/Dark Manip Blaster? Maybe color the powers blood red for the Vamp, Green for Frankie and browinsh for the Wolf?
