Is your original "main" your "main"?

I am curious--how many people have switched their "main" toons over the years? I deleted my first ever toon (why, oh why did I do that?), but my new and improved Katana/Invul scrapper (same powersets as original, just wanted to start over) became my main. I played the heck out of him until I got him to 50 (That was when getting to 50 was harder). I do have a lot of alt-itis, but I still play him and still like him. I was never big on the "main" like some people, but I definitely still play him a lot. I knew I wanted a scrapper and scrappers still hold a place in my heart.

Did anyone completely switch their main? Go from a tank to a defender or whatever?

I have never had a main. Seriously.

I may focus on a character or two at a time, but I play all my characters regularly. I'll admit, though, that I play some more than others. Everyone has their favorites.

I understand the concept of "main" from other games, but it's never applied to me here.

Yes. My original character is my one and only level 50. It's the one character I consistently break out for every event that I participate in.

I do have some others who have seen a bit more playtime in the last year or two, just by virtue of being leveled up with a supergroup, but my first char is still my "main" char, as far as everything else is concerned.

Before leaving the game for a few years some time ago, I had one main for team play and one main for solo play, but I never really truly loved either one of them. So I never had a "main" in the same sense that most hardcore players had.

That changed once Street Justice was released. I now have a StJ/WP Brute that is my main and I don't care to play any of my other characters anymore. I took this character from level 1 on the day StJ was released all the way to multiple (well, two) tier 4 Incarnate powers per slot before the end of the year. And I still don't tire of playing this character. It is my main in every sense of the word, and I really couldn't be happier about it!

I'm not sure how to answer this question.

Is my current main the first character I created? No. However the first guy I created was deleted before I ever really got into playing him, so does he count?

Also, does it count if my main is still the same character, but given unto new powers? M I Abrahms was originally Inv/SS. Now he is WP/SS. Is he the same character, or not?

Ah, so the important question is, "Is Abrahms still Abrahms, even though he's new Abrahms."

I can see the answer going either way, especially as the original Abrahms has been retooled into a new character that's kind of a secondary.

Is it the same concept? Yes. Is it the same character? Kinda...no. So make of that what you will.
