RIP Call Me Awesome


Call Me Awesome

Paragon news, 4:08PM EST.

Call Me Awesome, Invuln/Stone tanker had been protecting Paragon for over 7 years and 4,145 hours. Now he finally met a foe more powerful than all the Heroes in existence. Doctors at the Paragon Medical Center are helpless to combat the disease ravaging the hero and give him no more than 3 months to live.

This morning he said to reporters "It's been a good run and we've fought the good fight. From the beginning I've always done my best, from the heights of the Great Age of Tankers to the depths of the Global Defense Nerf to the Renaissance of the Age of Invention. Hamidon has fallen before our might, the great Praetorian Invasion was turned back and Tyrant himself is no more."

"Let us always remember those challenges we have overcome, and those who are only with us now in spirit. It's the duty of the strong to place themselves between those who would destroy all and those who are less able to protect themselves. Let's always remember the credo of the Tanker... and once again proclaim to the forces of Evil 'You shall NOT pass!'"

"If this generation should be the last, if there should never again be those to put themselves in the path of evil always remember... there are some things worth doing, worth fighting for regardless of the eventual outcome."

"I am joined by those who have fought the good fight against those most powerful foes. These Heroes have left their mark on the world and have set a standard that few attain."

"And all the countless others who came and went over the last 7 years; way too many of them to even remember, they were here, they made a difference and they always did their duty."

"All of us thank you for being a part of our struggle. It's not right that it should end so soon but we stood for something and we stood UNITED."

With those words Call Me Awesome ended his statement. Let us all think back in remembrance of just what the struggle, the victories and defeats experienced by all of the Heroes of Paragon and know that it was worth it.

You were the best classic Hamidon main tank IMO. Whenever I saw you were going to be up front, I knew it would be a successful Hami raid. Thanks for all those hami-o's and good times!

Awesome, you're the best aggro magnet man!

Thank you for all the groundwork you did on Tankers and the Soft-Cap.

You paved the way for the awesomeness that Hyperstrike eventually became.
