;[[Bioflux (Justice)|Bioflux]]
 
−
Bioflux was created so that I could mess around with Electric Melee... but especially Lightning Rod.  Once I had him close to 30ish, it all became a mad dash to get LR, and then once I had it, I realized that I wanted to IO this character.  For me, that desire is exceedingly rare.  But, I managed to get him to 45% Def on all positions, a Purple Proc in Caltrops, and a bit of +HP to boot.  He is a fun character and will likely be one of the only other characters that I take through some Incarnate content.
 
  
−
This character was meant to be the younger, and evil,  brother of another character I was playing on Infinty but have since deleted.  The idea was for them to have a sort of Cyclops/Havok rivalry, but since the one character was never played, this one drifted from that concept.  Then, it was reintroduced when I made Twostripe... and '''he''' is now the older and crazier big brother.

;[[Pointsphere (Justice)|Pointsphere]]
 
−
This character was the first character I ever created for City of Heroes.  When I started the CoH Bootleg trial from the disc I got for free from a GameStop, I tried to create a character who was telekinetic.  Essentially, I was trying to make the character I would want to be if I had super powers.  And so, I stumbled upon Gravity Control and sorta settled on Force Fields.  I had originally created this character a few years earlier as a tentative concept for a Hero System RP Group that never really got started, and there, he was called Wildefire.  So, I eventually had to settle on the name Wylde-Fire because so many other versions were taken.  However, I grew to like the name quite a lot.
 
−
 
−
Wylde survived innumerable costume changes and minor adjustments to his bio.  He underwent countless respecs as well as I learned about the game and what the true purpose of a Controller was.  Also, with him being my oldest character he was the one on which I had begun to earn all of my badges, and he became the first character I got to 50... in something like nine months of playing him.
 
−
 
−
Later, once my main server began to switch from Infinity to Justice, I realized that Wylde was going to get left in the dust, and I was too attached to him to let that happen.  As such, I moved him to Justice, turned him into a Rogue, and he came to be called Pointsphere (due to the bubbles and a bit of inspiration from the Zero Point Energy gauntlets used by Syndrome in ''The Incredibles'').

;[[Project Alcatraz (Justice)|Project Alcatraz]]
 
−
Among my most recent Lvl 50s!
 
−
 
−
Alcatraz is a character who I was very excited about for awhile, then got very frustrated with due to his endurance problems (Claws/Dark Armor).  But, I loved his concept so much, that I persevered and made it through to Epic Powers and began to outfit him with some IOs designed to help with End.  I succeeded, and he is one of my favorite characters to play, who is just beginning his journey into Incarnatehood (and taking advantage of some of the new powers to boot).
 
−
 
−
Alcatraz's costumes are also perhaps the most varied of any character I have ever made.  He was designed to be a "cosmic horror" in the vein of Lovecraftian creatures, an entity born outside our natural universe who was imprisoned by arcane forces eons ago.  It was not until science tapped into the reality in which he was imprisoned that he was able to escape, rending the mind of a scientist on that project (codenamed Project Alcatraz) he was able to breach our world and enter his body.

;[[Schwarzpunkt (Justice)|Schwarzpunkt]]
 
−
Schwarzy was my second villain ever created.  He was intended to be a sort of evil Batman with a touch of Ozymandias.  In a way, I think that is about what I came up with in time.  But, what this character really did, more than anything else, was bring me to legitimately enjoy Stalkers '''and''' the Rogue Isles.  It was this character duoed with a Stone Brute on my significant other's account that was my first villain to 50.  Originally, he only existed to unlock VEATs, but it didn't take long for him to become my villain badger... until Going Rogue came out, and the need for having two badging characters fell by the wayside.
 
−
 
−
Now, he is my second favorite Stalker, and one of my go-to characters whenever I want to make and/or test an AE arc. {{clr}}

Unfortunately, Vermillian is a very rarely played Alt, and is still sitting at 45 if I recall correctly despite the fact that he was created when you still had to get a villain to 50 before VEATs unlocked.  The good news is, that without the drive to make a VEAT I might not have forced myself to play red-side.  I wasn't a big fan of the Rogue Isles at the time, but by the time I got a character to 50 there, I was starting to like them.

;[[Corridor (Justice)|Corridor]]
 
−
This guy is the evil antagonist in the storyline involving Spiritglass and the magical alternate reality of Ærth.  Corridor's costume is one I spent a long time trying to get right.  But, once I realized how cool a black skull mask could look with the "empty hood" effect I was going for, I realized I had hit on his look.  An alternate costume shows him without the mask, and is nifty, but no where near the wow factor.  When I make a costume for a character from Ærth I try to incorporate a magical/fantasy element as well as a sort of militaristic element... but also, since all of these characters are of the nobility, a certain touch of class is necessary as well.  All of those features prove to be somewhat challenging to incorporate, but I think I've done it adequate justice.

With the forthcoming Dark Control on the horizon, there is a decent chance that he (rather than Slashblot) will be re-made as a Dark Control/Dark Assault Dominator... but that depends entirely on how well the new Dark powers re-color to look like blood.  However, with the new "inkier" appearance of those powers, it is entirely likely that they will re-color nicely.

−
In my quest to have one of each non-healing set active on my account, I realized that a few sets were yet to be represented... and one whole AT was woefully underplayed by me.  So, with those two things in mind, a Blaster using Elec/Dev was created.  I had no idea whatsoever what type of character he should be, and that is rare for me.  I almost '''never''' create a character around his powersets instead of around his personality.
 
−
 
−
The good news is that as I was mucking around in the character creator, the idea of him being somewhat of a technopath struck me... and that he could use all the robotic Vet Pets as a little entourage really struck a chord with me.  Soon thereafter I discovered much to my surprise that the name Decimal was available.

;[[Twostripe (Justice)|Twostripe]]
 
−
I had seen a picture of a certain kind of snake with very striking orange and blue markings on it... and it inspired me to make a costume.  That costume didn't go to use at the time, but I did decided on the name for the character if and when he got created: Twostripe (based on the scientific name of the snake having "bivurgatus" in it, which means "two striped").

−
When I finally created this character it was on a whim... so that I had a lowbie to use to team with one in-game friend or another.  Most characters like that don't stick around long, but since he filled my Dual Blades requirement and used my nifty costume, I kept him around and grew to like him.  Essentialy, he is Deadpool, fifth-wall breaking dialogue is his forte.

;[[Lost Emissary (Infinity)|Lost Emissary]]  
−
Lost Emissary was my second 50, and the first character I played in tandem with my significant other.  I discovered by playing him, that if I am going to play a Defender, I really enjoy when its powers are enemy-focused (i.e. Debuffs) more so than when they are teammate-focused.  So, it is fortuitous that Lost is a Dark/Dark/Dark Defender.
 
−
 
−
After reaching 50, my significant other's character fell to the wayside, and that gave me the opportunity to re-invent Lost's bio.  He went from a scientist working against the Family and the Marcone family in particularly, into a somewhat amoral scientist who meddled with inter-dimensional travel and crossed into an alternate reality.  When he got back, he found he had little to no memory of either world.

He's icey!  Mender is an Ice Cubed Tanker (Ha ha, a pun... '''and''' an accurate description, he will definitely be using the Ice Epic).  He is also my first try at making a character look like a Mender of Ouroboros.  At the time he was created, I didn't do much in the way of borrowing game lore to add to characters I have created.  This dude was the first, and though he isn't played a ton, I definitely like him now that he has gotten over the "hump" if you will, in Ice Armor.

Kyren Legathe as he is known in his home reality, Ærth.  Kyren is a friend of Aarik's and seeks to find his friend and defeat the villainous Corridor.  As soon as I heard that Poison was coming to Controllers, I knew that I had a perfect opportunity to create a Plant Control character.  And so I did.  It also gave me an opportunity to run through the newer arcs on hero-side.

;[[Slashblot (Infinity)|Slashblot]]
 
−
This character is like Joker crossed with Rorschach.  He had an accident in the printshop he used to work at in Praetoria.  This shop was responsible for creating pretty much ALL of the propoganda material used by Cole's Regime.  It also printed the newspapers.  Slashblot got caught in such a way that all he could see for hours were the pages of propoganda that were running through the press.
 
−
 
−
After that, he went a bit nuts and got taken out of a Psych Ward and experimented on by Neuron.  At this point, he is seven shades of crazy and very fanatical in his devotion to Cole.
 
−
 
−
All of Slash's powers are colored to resemble ink, as well as being a perfect way to make use of the Clunker Path Aura.  Plus, I loved writing his bio, rarely do I get to think in such an off-kilter way while interspersing my dialgoue with noises from a printing press!  Great fun!!
 
−
 
−
Slashblot will ''very'' likely be re-rolled once the somewhat inkier version of Dark for controllers gets created: Darkness Control and Dark Affinity.  In order to do that, though, I would have to drop the fun of Dual Pistols...  my final decision on that is up in the air at the moment.

The most interesting part of this character, to me, is picturing the exact ritual that his fiancée at the time performed... she litterally took his soul, bound it to chanins and armor and put them onto her lover's corpse while they were still nearly molten.  The smell must have been intense.

Aarik Targreve, otherwise known as Spiritglass, was the first character I made who resides in a parallel Earth called Ærth.  His world is one in which magic and sorcery developed instead of technology, and where we use physics chemistry and engines, they would use mysticism, alchemy and magical artifacts.  There are a few other characters in my stable that hail from the same location, and are in fact directly interrelated to Aarik. In his world, another key detail is that America is called not the United States, but the Vesprian Union (taking Amerigo Vespucci's surname instead of his first name to name the continent).

Whiptech '''almost''' became my first Petless Mastermind.  But, I felt that such an endeavor might overly gimp my character, so instead of being Whip/TA he is a proper Demons/TA MM who plays his Demons as though they were all powerful illusions generated by holographic imagers.  In fact, I will take advantage of the fact that the I and L are mostly indistinguishable when used together to name all of his pets Illusion.

;[[Ora Kalhu'u]]

Ora was created the very next day after my first hero hit 50.  And, then, was named Last Grula'ak, which was meant to be more like a title or designation then a name.  But, for whatever reason, he stagnated for me and sat at something like 31 for a long time.  I am not sure what broke me out of my funk with him, but I presume it had to do with discovering some binds that helped his playability and one change or another to the AT.  But, I dusted him off and played him almost everyday for a while to get him to 50.  When that finally happened... I, totally unexpectedly, stopped playing him.  I think it was the fact that his "goal" had been attained that caused it...

Finally, when the free server transfers were offered I used them to give him a name and move him to his current home on Guardian.

This character began as an Archery/Energy Blaster and got up to the lofty level of 15 not that long after I began playing the game.  I deleted him from not having touched the character in a long time.  Then, I convinced myself that I needed a Fire/Kin Controller and re-created this character with the idea that he would start human, ans slowly become more and more draconic each time he recieved a new costume slot.  Unfortunately, since his progression directly tied to his in-game story, I didn't have any justification to switch his costumes... which I found disheartening, and I lost interest as soon as the push to 50 was complete.

Altoholic?

One could say that I have a fair bit of aloholism. Though I don't have hundreds of characters... that is probably due to my penchant for deleting, renaming and otherwise repurposing my characters over and over. If I have a character that has gone months without play, I am pretty likely to delete him, or rename him and give him a new costume in hopes that something sparks and he gets some playtime. And that method has worked for me before.

I have likely deleted almost as many characters as I have now, I think I have deleted characters as high as 25... but once they hit 32, they are pretty much safe. I don't like deleting a character that has gotten that far in its progression of powers.

Currently, I have about 42 characters. But, as one might have guessed, I already have plans to re-roll some and create some brand new ones.

Character List

Below is a full list of all of my current characters broken up first by server, and then further seperated into 50s and non-50s. Each character that has its own page here will be linked to it below.

Justice

On Justice, I only play Villains and help to maintain a VG there called The Legions of Fate. All of my characters on Justice are a part of that VG, and I am in close contact with the active Super Leader of that group. I began playing on Justice after moving our VG there from Guardian, which seemed just a bit too slow on red-side for our tastes. After Hanging out on Justice for a good while and getting involved in some of the global channels, it became clear that Justice was going to be my new home server and that Infinity would begin to play second fiddle. As such, I payed to have my main badging character move to Justice where he was able to team with my significant other's main badging character, Agent Inhakos (who happened to be the Super Leader of the VG).

Infinity

On Infinity, I only play Heroes and maintain an SG there called The Strands of Fate. All of my characters on Infinity are a part of that SG, and I am the active Super Leader of that group. Infinity had been my main server since I started playing City of Heroes around the release of Issue 10. It wasn't until recently that I essentially switched focus from considering Infinity as my home, to considering Justice as my home. Mainly, this was due to my liking of Villains more than heroes, and the ability concept-wise, of my hero to transition to being a Rogue without much issue.

Level 50s

Level 1 - 49s

Guardian

On Guardian I play both Heroes and Villains. At one time, I used Guardian as the base for the now defunct VG, The Tendrils of Fate. But, as mentioned above, it became clear to me that red-side was no where near as active on Guardian as it was blue-side. I loved the community of folks there, but it seemed just too hard, sometimes, to get together the activities I wanted to do. And so it was that the VG was dumped, and we re-located to Justice during one of the periods where Paragon Studios was offering free server transfers.

Now, Guardian has been re-purposed as the RP server for me and my group of in-game friends. We have made several themed RP teams and related SGs and VGs on Guardian, and play over there a fair amount. But, it is by no means a "home" server in the same way that Justice and Infinity are. Also, it has become a sort of graveyard for unplayed 50s who are then used to create the various SG/VGs for the RP characters to play in.

Level 50s

Level 1 - 49s

Ariath'el
Araxes
Operative Bulwark
Sangarios
Vergiz

Exalted

I have but one lonely character on Exalted, who is a member of a themed Time Manipulation RPSG. This one, like the ones on Guardian was created specifically for my in-game friends. I doubt that I will voluntarily make anymore characters here... but, it is always a possibility.

Level 1 - 49s
