Howdy,
I started playing City of Heroes in February 2007 (actually I got the game in July of 2006, but my 56k modem just couldnt do it. I had to wait for my neighborhood to get DSL). In June, I got a friend of mine to join; and like me, he was hooked instantly. I had already decided to get the Good versus Evil edition of the game when we agreed to try to manage an open enrollment super group; but we wanted a uniting theme not just some haphazard mess. Put a little thought into it.
Step-brothers Dangerous Lee (just a toon, looking for some action) and Courageous Lee (where the action is) were born. We raced up to level 10 and founded Adverbs on July 1, 2007. We began recruiting immediately. My friend felt that we should block out a couple names so people wouldnt think those Lees were somehow in charge. So we made alts of Elder Lee and Original Lee. And these two formed the backstory of Adverbs.
Elder Lee was a tribal shaman from a distant land immigrated to America. His son (now known as Original Lee), with his lyrically bass voice and hypnotic abilites, would become a government operative known as The Velvet Voice. His missions took him all over the world and he saved many damsels in distress (just like any other super-spy of the 60s and 70s). And so in the present day, there are untold numbers of descendants. Dan and Coury were located by their grandfather, and they set out to help him find their siblings.
For a year we were modestly successful, attracting maybe a dozen or so players to the group, many of them making several alts. We formed friendships with many other groups and coalitions with a few. A couple from California took a real interest in the group and founded the villainous counterpart: Adverse. I created Severe Lee (Courys brother) and agreed to be the back-up in leadership.
But then, as real life often does, things changed. My buddy got a job across the country, relocated, had marital issues, and on well, there was no room for City in that mess. The couple from California became beta testers for Champions Online and I have not heard from them since. Others started/graduated from college or the military.
By the summer of 2009, both groups were pretty much down to just me. My friend was the true heart and soul of the Verb, so I elected to shutter both groups, kicking out all but our toons, emptying the bases and turning off the lights; hoping the day would come when we could restart.
Not to be. So to all those of you who were Adverbs: Adept, Tru, Ginger, Hot, Positive (and Negative I still think you should have given one name up so both toons could appear at the same time), Cold, Accurate, Loud, and all the rest; and to those in The Beast Kids, The Prinny Squad, The Sabres, The Order of the Vigilant, The Taxibots, Paragon City Search & Rescue: I raise my glass and hold it high. Adverbs Rule!!! Good times, good times. I will miss you all.
Adverbs - Were all over the action!
Obviously. Where?
Adverse - We are the action.
Too is here! {wait, Too is adverb not noun} Too is here too! {that still not right}
Oh man, Id love to get a piece of that action!
Adverbs describe other words (specifically verbs, adjectives and other adverbs) in order to enhance Hey, get back here!!! I gotta find a shorter battle cry.
This calls for an Adverb! And maybe an expletive or two.
That was amazing Lee. No, Im pretty sure that was Accurate Lee.
Wheres Clear Lee?
Never agree to a team-up with Late Lee, Slow Lee, or Timid Lee.
I dont get it, fire/fire and youre calling yourself Dead Lee? Yeah, Im a Blaster. /e Pause /e Blink /e Smack /e Hard.
Too is here! {wait, secret base is Here - Too not at secret base} Too is here not too. {sigh}
Never fear, Adverbs are here! Specifically the first and last words of the previous sentence.
Bare Lee, not Bear Lee! That isnt even a word.
Adverbs describe wait, let me get aggro first
Which of you is the Lee-der?
Just call me "The Pool Guy" - cause I believe that power pools are the ultimate in powerset proliferation. Fewer powers to develop and available to all.
"ADVERBS - we define action!"
"ADVERSE - we are action!"
