Glad you like Crypt... he went through 4 iterations. Originally he was more like Batman and had a Ruin mask and victorian steampunk face... and I couldn't really get it to work but i needed a name so I called him Crypt... then i used CoT hood and skull face with more of the steampunk gear...but it didn't look right. Then I changed things around and tried to make the steampunkchest work and the hood skull work, but nothing I did looked right largely because they removed the reaper detail piece which helps make hoods work better imo, so i removed the hood, threw on the hat and the chaos leather just happened to be something i accidentally landed on and it looked good so i kept it ^.^
Here's the Origin of Crypt ^.^ Now i need to figure out his real name.
:: Crypt ::
Crypt was born some time in the 1830s in Cockaigne, Maine, a city devoted to developing the bergeoning steam technology to aleviate the common man of the harshness of the peasant life. As the City grew the steam engines required constant looking after and resulted in created a second class that was forced to live on the lower levels of the city, watching after, and mainting the machines so that the upper class could lead a life of luxary. As the abolitionist movement picked up steam many of the Cockaigne's lower class began to argue that they could be considered slave just as much as any african slave. These pleas were largely ignored save for a single steam engineer/scientist who took up arms, using his research, to fight against the rest of the upper class to establish better working conditions in the 1860s who came to be known as Crypt.
This 1 man fight grew to a city wide battle, supporters of maintaining the status quo verse supporters of a new order, until a blunder during a battle between 2 careless units on both sides caused one of the major steam engines of the city to over heat and explode, shutting down and damaging much of the city. Crypt became the symbol of liberation and death as he was looked at as the cause of this destruction, uniting the city in working together to reverse the damage Crypt had done. As the nation recovered from the Civil war and Cockaigne from it's own war, the citizens of Cockaigne rose above their class differences and established a idustrial capital, able to produce some of the most technologically advanced machines in the world quickly and of top notch quality.
Crypt dissappeared after the blast that ended the war, many believing he was dead, and his body lost, but in reality he did not see the need to continue his fight as his goal had been accomplished. He hid himself away and offered up many miracle machines under false names as the years went on, losing touch with most of the outside world.
As the decades past Crypt became a legend, and those who believed he may have survived now believed him likely dead of old age. The city which once learned from the error of it's class stratisfication and worked together to build a better tomorrow fell into the decay once more as did the whole of america as the cities became increasingly larger.
Yay Legend's Origins...
:: Legend ::
When man first wrote down historical accounts of great heroes they often spoke of men who were ten times as strong and men of great fortitude that, even if pierced by thousands of arrow they would go on, fight for what is right. Never would they give in, never would they halt their onslaught. The gods held them in contempt, sometimes they were bemused, but deep down the gods feared these men and they had great reason to because these men were hailed as gods by the common man. The gods searched out and killed all these men who would be gods. They were thurough. Each and every one of the great heroes were systematically removed from life and some gods still seek to anhilate them from the afterlife. However, 2 heroes fell in love and had a child shortly before this massacre began. Seeing the events transpiring around them pleaded with the mystics to send their child to a far away place to save it. The was not sent to a far away place, but rather a far away time, still out of the reach of the gods, and still at a great price, their lives and souls.
This child was found and raised in a Dublin orphanage that abused the children. At the age of 14 Legend caught one of the children being ***** by the head of the orphanage. Legend grew angry and brutally beat the man to death. Shocked, he ran away and made his way on the streets of Dublin. When he turned 18 he got his GED and found construction work. After the first Rikti war Legend moved to Paragon City in hopes of helping to rebuild, but soon he realized that he had other abilities as well.
Just an FYI, there is an SG called Soldality on Virtue so if you get any confused Comments on your arc you'll know why
So Sodality is an idea that I have... basically an ongoing AE story that centers around a team called Sodality. It's going to be using the JL as somewhat of a starting point as far as archtypes for characters (a common thing to do ^.^)
The first three characters are...
listed from left to right...
Force a Kinetic/Kinetic melee fighter
Legend a Super Strength/Invulnerable melee character
Crypt a Broad Sword/Dark Armor melee fighter
What do you think of these chars so far?
Any idea for better names for Force? I like Legend and Crypt.
Obviously Force is the Flash, Crypt is the Batman, Legend is the Superman.
There will be 3 more with you as the 7th member.
The other 3 will be an Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern style characters... any ideas for those or their names?
Any input is appreciated.
