My first character was the Minibromian. He was a Yoda-like character who embodied the Force of good. His name was a play on Midi-chlorian (with a touch of the Merovingian). After I created him I deleted him and tried to recreated him, I think because he started out as a controller and I wanted to make him a defender (or vice versa). Unfortunately I didn't manage to recreate the look and ended up disliking his look and as a result didn't play him much.

Well, that and because I really wanted a more action oriented hero. In the end I settled on TwoSeventyOne, my scrapper, who was a combination of Trinity and Neo and is the only character I got to level 50.

(Edited with some more details as I remembered him. I'll try to get a screenshot sometime.)

Meet Zerenade. Real name: Yvettte Fultoni. As a little girl, she was stricken blind by Bird Flu, the same virus that killed her parents. After bouncing from foster home to foster home she eventually found herself on the streets, blind and begging in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Then one day, a battle between cosmic entities (Van Ruhle the formless and Nim Nerathim the cosmic wanderer) landed in her ally. Literally. When defeated, Van Ruhle vowed to eventually get revenge, and poured his remaining power into the nearest Vessel.

The next day, Zerenade awoke to find strange powers. She had manipulation and mastery over sound so much so that she could teleport by quantum entangling her molecules with another spot through vibrations, a superb sense of hearing that gave her near clairvoyance despite not having sight, and a magic bow that fired arrows of energy from out of thin air. Along with this came the desire to fight... something. She didn't know what. All she knew was she was inspired, and immediately sought out to be a superhero.

Years later, something had changed....



She started acting differently and doing peculiar things. Then one day, she flipped and become a monster. Donning a new outfit and a hunger for destruction and worship. She had gained strange and dark powers and an incomprehensible strength, so much that her screams put out megatons of energy and her body was nearly indestructible. With every hero in paragon helpless against the shrieking monster of darkness, salvation came from the most unlikely source: My first villain and her arch-nemesis...



Allatrope. Real name: Nathanial Saurion. Allatrope was a praetorean resistance member and terrorist, who after becoming jaded and disenchanted with the whole war, sought to disappear from that world. He has severe aspergers syndrome which lead to his detachment from people, and also his amazing computation abilities. Allatrope had discovered a way to displace capacitor plates slightly out of sync with this dimension, using the potential difference between W.I.M.P.s of different dimensional frequencies to create a self-recharging battery with a nearly endless supply of electricity. Using this shifting property, Allatrope made a suit that allowed him to phase out of reality and become invisible (at least until he greatly interacts with something and his indeterminate wave function form collapses into a solid and visible object). This, unfortunately, could not be replicated by anyone since all of the equations for it were only in his head. Fusing this into his suit and with some highly modified praetorean kinetic generators, Allatrope jumped dimensions to do odd jobs in the rogue islands. He had finally disappeared...

Until, of course, Zerenade came about. Allatrope's suit creates a warbling distortion in background sound that Zerenade could pick up from in a 10 mile radius in open air. She could easily dispatch of Allatrope, leading to his subsequent captures. This put Allatrope into "the system", which completely ruined his plans to be alone, making him frequently monitored, known about, and hunted. Allatrope swore revenge against Zerenade for ruining his newfound life.

At least he did, until he discovered that Zerenade was possessed by an interdimensional demon. Seeing the beast's immense power before anyone else, new he had to gain immense power to kill it. After "negotiations" with arachnos, Allatrope created a magically powered suit and used it to captured and displaced Death Surge into in two dimensions, tapping himself into Dr. Aeons energy grid and increasing his power output fifty fold. With his magically powered science super suit, Allatrope sought to put an end to Zerenade's misery.


The battle was epic. Whole buildings collapsed, the ground was flattened by the pressure and baked by the arcing electricity. Allatrope was losing, so he put all of his faith into one last Power Surge, which upon releasing caused his mystical suit to dissolve, releasing everything in a gigantic explosion of magic and lightning that put Zerenade into a coma.

...But not Van Ruhle, who used the dimensional distortion to create a pocket dimension of dream space that linked directly into Allatrope and Zerenade's minds. It was here that it was learned that Van Ruhle was in a quantum state of perpetual uncertainty, changing shape and power depending how how he was perceived. In a last ditch effort, Van Ruhle attempted to possess Allatrope to continue living on. Allatrope fought back, and after this dream/astral battle ended it was Allatrope who was victorious. After tearing Van Ruhle's head off, Allatrope fled from the scene (he was a wanted super villain, after all) with Zerenade over is shoulder. No one is sure what happened with those two afterwards....



Or at least not without introducing a whole lot more characters. BTW, this is Van Ruhle, AKA my first NPC:
