P.E.R.C. Presents: The Great Makeover - The Vindicators

There have been some really amazing submissions so far! Keep up the great work everyone! You all never cease to amaze me with your creativity!

~Freitag

I'm seeing some stuff that's not yet available on live. Are these pieces legal for this contest?

Works for me! Thanks for clarifying.

Global Handle: @B U L L Y
Vindicator: Aurora Borealis

Why: After Sister Psyche's death Aurora felt a part of herself was lost and didn't know where to turn. In her time of despair she was easily swayed by another psychic force - Vanessa Devore. Vanessa helped Aurora unlock her true potential and break free from her ties to Sister Psyche. But through all the new freedom she still felt a calling to help Paragon and honor Shalice. Turning to her old friend Ms. Liberty, Aurora Scott has vowed to Vindicate her lost friend.

Vindictor: Infernal

Why: In his search for the unholy fusion of T'Keron and Valmaz, K'Varr D'Shall continues to collect the trophies from foes he has beaten. Armed with these newly demon infused weapons and armor Infernal stands beside his fellow Vindicators as needed.

Vindicator: Luminary

Why: Luminary has been collecting parts from various dimensions in order to improve herself. She continues to upgrade her hardware with parts she considers superior to any Positron could offer.

Vindicator: Mynx

Why: Mynx has been working with Synapse in order to utilize a bit of technology to bring her up to par with the likes of Cole and Marauder. She felt she had to be able to stand her own with all the new Incarnates popping up everywhere.

Global: @Bru’ Tal

Overall Theme: The year is 2062… 50 years from now. A lot has happened since then. A need for a more aggressive approach has made itself abundantly clear. Time has treated some of the Vindicators well, and others have passed on their spot to the up and coming heroes of Paragon. The group is broke up into 2 sub-groups, the Constants and the New Blood. The Constants are those who can transcend the years and still fight the battle the way it needs to be done. The New Bloods are the tried and true heroes who are new to the group, fighting their way not only for respect from their battle hardened Constants, but to prove to those whose spot they took that they can live up to the their legacy.

Vindicator: Ms. Liberty (Leader, Constant)



Why: Ms. Liberty has now become one with the Well. Her Incarnate powers have grown into something that would even make Statesman proud. Her brighter outlook on life changed when Statesman died. She became harder, edgier, and took the fight off the podium in Atlas and to the streets of Paragon. What’s left of Statesman’s cape now hangs on her back. Ripped and torn, blood stained and singed, his essence lives on through her. She leads with an iron fist and her look is that of a confident leader, one who is taking her rightful place in the forefront of the wars that rip through Paragon City.


Vindicator: Infernal (Constant)



Why: Infernal has only grown stronger in his quest for demon binding. His armor now hosts much more powerful demons than before, setting off a constant blaze from his hands and head. He is the living embodiment of power. His armor was hand crafted by powerful mystics to allow him to continue his ritualistic art.

Vindicator: Lumirany (Constant)



Why: Luminary has adopted a more sentient AI compared to years past. She has evolved into a robot who not only belongs in our world to keep it safe, but now lives a life outside of the Hero Business. Her dependency on Positron has been severed as she now goes to some of Paragon’s finest minds and technicians to upgrade. She is a composition of elegance and sophistication, as well as having the means to be an integral part of the Vindicators. When not in battle, she can occasionally be found as a DJ at Pocket D.


Vindicator: Valkyrie (Constant)



Why: 50 years of integration has turned Valkyrie into the most formidable warrior champions of Primal Earth. Her connection to the nanites in her staff has given her new life. Her nanite technology is represented in her more confident, over the top look, almost daring anyone to fight her. That same tech has also slowed her aging process, making her seem as young as she was 50 years ago, but much more powerful and adept in the field than even she ever imagined. She is a force to be reckoned with.


Vindicator: Lynx (New Blood)
Mentor: Mynx



Why: After many years of service, Mynx has stepped down from the team. She settled down, had children of her own. And now, her youngest child, Tabitha, is her greatest treasure and her greatest regret. The scientific DNA splicing done on Mynx seemingly had no affect on any of her other children. However her youngest daughter showed signs at a very early age. Uncanny balance, highly acrobatic as a youngster, a wild side unseen in any of her siblings were all too familiar. Knowing all too well what road that can lead down, Mynx stepped up and personally trained her to become a 2nd generation hero. Lynx chose the name to not only honor her mother, but to start a new path for herself. And this little kitty likes to play with danger…


Vindicator: Swan (New Blood)
Mentor: Swan



Why: The original Swan had a brilliant and effective career. Knowing her time was to come to an end, she took on an apprentice. She found a very gifted and talented magician, Casey Blair, at a traveling show, one who was obviously putting more into her show than just sleight of hand. Gorgeous and sophisticated, smart and ready to be tested, Casey was eager to learn everything she could. With concentrated focus and years of endless training, a new Swan emerged, ready to walk in step with the Vindicators just as the last Swan did.


Vindicator: Equinox (New Blood)
Mentor: Aurora Borealis



Why: A hard life followed Aurora where ever she went. A selfless person who traded away much of her own life for another had not much time to live for herself. She always felt lost, out of place, a step behind. A counterpart and friend of hers at Paragon University, a philosopher named Lane Hodges, revealed to her his own psychic abilities. Her old friend had come a very long way on his own, but had much to learn. She had longed to pass on the vast amount of knowledge and power that goes with it to someone else. After 8 years of training, the last step had to be taken. Her body frail, her mind at ease, she left this world and Lane allowed himself to host her spirit for a year. His power now magnified, he became a psychic force unseen in decades. Aurora passed on, leaving a very powerful Equinox in her place. The name, a throwback in honor of the neighborhood he grew up in Galaxy City before its demise.



Vindicator: Earthbourne (New Blood)
Mentor: Woodsman



Why: Woodsman’s spirit still travels through Eden, but his attention was needed there and there alone. For decades he looked for someone to pass on the mantle of Woodsman, but none were right. He prayed to the spirits of Eden to allow him to stay there for eternity, helping to protect its lands and keep the balance in Paragon. Eden listened and produced… a man. Earthbourne was a gift from Eden to Paragon; a reward for Woodsman’s undying allegiance to it. Possessing the powers of Eden itself, Earthbourne spent 5 years under the tutelage of Woodsman. Learning not only to fight, to keep balance, to restore, but also that of what it means to be alive, to be human. This last bit is the hardest for him to accomplish, he still struggles with what he is and he fights to carve out a name for himself in Vindicators.

Seldom's Mynx needs to happen. Best piece in the thread so far.

Bru...that's pretty great.

Okay maybe somebody can help me out.

I dolled up my 8 new Vindicators and have them ready for showing off, but I can't get the game to copy the image to the clipboard. I just get a blank black page every time.

I'm running windows 7, if that helps.

Windows 7 uses a program called Snipping Tool. It's easy to use.

Yeah I tried that. I can't switch windows to use it. I just wind up snipping my task bar.

Are you in windowed mode, or full-screen?

Full screen, I believe. Would windowed mode solve my issue?

Yes. Probably. It worked for me.

Note: I didn't go about really trying to figure out all their body sliders and heights...sooo...it's mostly about the costumes.



Ms Liberty: She's a superhero! She should look the part! Updated the spandex with a lot of leather! Should note I'd have the Tight Sleek cover the forearms as where the gloves do not (Devs! Make that an option PLEASE!) I'd also giveher Statesman's cape! I just didn't put a cape on this outfit because none of the options match Statesman's cape.

Changed up the hair! The other is just dated!

She's the leader of the group. With Statesman's passing, I think she'd take up a bit of his style while mixing it with her own.




Mynx: I don't think she needed to get to much out there. Using the Organic Armor as a leather style armor I think suits her well. Also updated the hair. It was time for a change!




Swan: I'd replace the cape with her trademark swan cape. I was going more for newer better texture pieces overall, while keeping to her "show off the skin" look she's had this whole time. To many people I think try to cover up all the females because "OMG!" *rolleyes* But she thought it was time to add some color!




Valkyrie: I wanted to keep the technology armor vibe to her costume. She's a tech hero! Also wanted to keep to her standard yellow color. I did change the color of her hair, because there's such a thing as to much yellow.




Woodsman: He seemed like a plant/earth troller or dom. So I wanted to mix it up! Firefly aura. Organic armor does a good "vine" look imo. Then added in some earth element to it.




Luminary: I wanted to put her in a transition stage. An android slowly gaining upgraded features to look more human. So, flesh face and hands. I'm thinking she's possibly advanced a bit tech wise, so the tech is kinda finding it's way through the flesh covering as well...hence the circutry pattern on the hands and organic face.




Infernal: First off, I LOVE the Sinister outfit. So wanted to make use of that! Changed up his mask, because this one just screams binder of demons to me. Throw in glowing belt and boots for that "bind the demon spirits" vibe! Also changed up his tail to organic, as it kept the demon vibe while just looking better on him than the demon tail.

I think overall, he kept that demon feel to him.




Aurora: I liked the idea of her paying homage to Psyche! So I put my spin on it. While changing up her hair style. It needed an upgrade and I think that would could fit for her.

there are some FANTASTIC costumes in here that i know im going to... borrow... and tweak for some of my own characters XD

wowzers.
