(Television just finished a special on Squirrels when they roll the latest episode of your favorite show.)
Hello and Welcome to C! True Paragon Stories!
Today we tell the story of:
Private Slacker!
Military Tree Rat
Private Slacker was born to Lieutenant Will B. A. Slacker and Sergeant Mary A. Slacker. The exact date of his birth is unknown because neither parent wrote it down.
"Wait. We had a kid?" Lieutenant Slacker fondly recalled, "Seriously?"
Private moved around a lot as a kid, following his parents with every move the military ordered. Sometimes they even left him a bus ticket so he wouldn't have to hitchhike.
Brother Nature
During one of those hitchhiking trips to get back to his parents, Private Slacker ran afoul of several vicious squirrels. They attacked little private, and left deep scars all over his body.
They captured Private and carried him to the Squirrel King. The Squirrel King informed Slacker that he had trespassed onto sacred squirrel ground. He offered the young boy two choices, glory in the name of a all squirrels... or death.
Slacker, being rather intelligent, chose glory. The Squirrel King granted him great powers in the name of the great squirrel god.
A Dangerous Tail
Catgirls, Mercenaries and Squirrels clashed in the streets and trees of Paragon City. Martial law was declared until the military, working with Private Slacker, drove the bounty hunters out. Without the assistance of such men, the Catgirls soon retreated to empty dumpsters to growl and lick their wounds.
Slowly, the city grew accustomed to their new squirrel saviors.
"He's ok, I guess." Azuria informed us, "Couldn't be worse than those catgirls. Now where did I put my wand?"
Fur the Greater Good.
Private Slacker now helps the good and evil alike with his many squirrel minions. His story of triumph has attracted other squirrels to the good city, including the distinguished Dr. Squirrelpants. Slacker remains vigilant though, knowing that any manner of creatures may rise up to challenge his power.

Teleportation and Invincibility.
I'd be fine with just teleport. I HATE driving. -

Hang on, hang on... trying not to laugh here... it's just that 'seers' in my world didn't have buckets on their heads. We saved that honor for Tyrant. -

@Ashcraft
This arc was very well written and had a story that kept me wanting to play. It was somewhat challenging as advertised, but I was able to solo it on a level 48 Fire Kin. There were a few small bits of humor that made me smile and some really great looking customs. If you are looking for a fun, challenging arc, this is a great choice! -
I have cake for you.

LOL, Pixel

Primantiss...your avatar is mesmerizing.

I thought I had a thread for this already but couldn't find it so I'm making this one since I just updated the arc once again.
The Trifecta Task Force
Trifecta
Arc ID: 164681
Alignment: Hero
Factions: Custom Groups, Rikti
Difficulty Level: Medium, fairly easy for teams but tough on a single player.
Estimated Time to Play: Can be done in an hour.
Level: 45-50
Keywords: Ideal for Teams, Custom Enemies, Drama
Synopsis: A now-psychic mutant by the name of Trifecta has developed a bit of a split personality... and one of the personalites wants to leave. You've been contacted by what is left of Trifecta in order to get a plea for help out to Sister Psyche.
Author comments: This is my favorite arc I've ever written. It's gotten the most positive feedback on it as well. I made some changes to the groups recently, removing a rather annoying enemy and making a custom set in its place. I'd love any feedback you would want to give. -
Ok, ran this and here's some comments on the arc:
Mission One:
Big Block of Text is hard to read.
Kill-alls are bad... especially on CoT maps, lots of nooks and crannies for one bad guy to hide in.
Mission Two:
Some grammar errors in introduction text, missing commas ect.
This boss is annoying to fight, his resists to certain damage is ridiculous.
The Ambush was.... different... but killing the player just for the story may anger some people.
Mission Three:
The 'Accept' default for missions doesn't fit very well, might want to edit this text. (applies to all missions)
"share a floating position" line is just...odd.
Mu dialog is a little flat, sounds the same as the ambush in the last mission.
The enemy group needs some variety, All-Mu means All End-drain. Not very fun. You can add some guys working for the mu to the mix without impacting the story.
'Ritual' instead of 'Spell' would sound better in the return dialog.
Mission Four:
Good map choice here.
Hequats dialog is eh. Give it some more punch, fix the grammar.
Ughh... Defeat-alls are bad. Surprise Defeat-all for no reason is worse. Against Mu and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. -
I was gonna give this a shot when I found the time, just been busy lately. :-)

I went more for the spirit of each design and came up with this:
Hope this gives you some ideas. :-) -
I do believe the kid has beaten us. Skyway, I think. You can sort of see some garbled trolls.

Welcome to the game, Danny.
Questions are an abomination unto Mu.
Which is fine with us, so ask away. -
