I'm looking for some last lore to tie up the loose ends. Can anyone point to me (other than the loregasm collection) sources on what the post-Incarnate Ascended stage was meant to be and any info on the Dimensionless.

Thank you friends. I will always love and miss this community.

No, sorry.

Very little has been mentioned about the Ascended; I think everything that has been can be summed up as "They are to Incarnates what Incarnates are to normal humans." Dimensionals were never even mentioned, prior to the Loregasm; we had no idea that they were coming.

Never mentioned but they were starting to show up in game. Astral christy, empyrean michael, the angel in DA and the one in nightward were all a part of that group.

I thought they were 'The Dimensionless'

So it goes likes this humans<heroes<incarnate<ascendant<?? as of now. Think of it like human demogods, gods, higher gods, then...??? I'm guessing if the game had anout 5 or so years under it's belt we'd see our characters entering the type of conflicts beings like Galactus, or The celestials take part in that actually requires their full strength. Honestly? I'd have friggin LOVED that.

I'm a huge fan of Ascendant's work on Virtue (and have been since 2004-5) and his sense of humor certainly beats out the titular Incarnates. I didn't think Penny Yin is in his weight class though.

I was peed off that a version of him demolished Alpha Upsilon 24-2. That dimension had the most delicious Ascendant-Os.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Wow that's...kinda boring. I've never been a big fan of angels, especially not the idealized bishounen men in armor with big wings ones. It's like the enemies are getting less creative and cool as the plot goes on.


Let me guess, in the end we would have had to form a 40 man raid in order to sit down and listen to the word of the lord. Or maybe read some literature?



Reminds me of that time the Punisher had magic angel guns. I dont like remembering that.

I'd like to think that my character Valkyrior was a Dimensionless, enlisting help from the heroes of this dimension.

(Cool picks here)
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt cause it says "I wanna be formal-but I'm also here to party.

Seriously, though. Thanks for the tie-together.
Can you give any thoughts as to how/why True Rikti were going to be "the threat" (or so it seemed). Or was thier being "alien" a comic book vehicle for being truly ALIEN and being unpredictable at that level: tongue in cheek/nonsequitor?

And fparn.

Awesome. I have a couple similar toons that are part of a group together. perhaps they would turn out to be dimensionless as well. but now we'll never know.
