I don't have anyone red-side on Exalted yet... 'Not quite sure why that is, since I do have villains on Lib, Union and Virtue. Those silly, goody two-shoes heroes have taken up all my time, I guess. <_<

I've only taken one of my Exalted newbies to First Ward so far (Whisper, my claws stalker-), but I'm sure the others will make it over there eventually. The delay has mostly been a matter of limited play time and having half-a-dozen brand new alts to divide it between.

'Got a strange bug to make a plant dom this morning... and managed to snag the name Bonsai for him. I was both pleased and surprised that no one else had gotten to that name yet. (And he's awfully cute with his leafy hair and samurai armor. )

That's... a really odd glitch. o_0
It almost makes me want to check over my list when the servers come back up to see if anyone else ended up with any of my crew's names.

It would just be an odd-ball humor thing to end up on a team with another Whisper or a second Merlin, since those two's power-sets and such are set and I have no intention of re-rolling them. The possibility of losing Huginn and Muninn (Who aren't in their "final form" yet, since I'm not sure what I want to do with them-) to this bug is a scary thought, though.

The fear. I has it.

I already posted this one over on the Exalted server board... but here are most of the quarter-finalists who ended up visiting the old Paragon Dance Party map.

[removed my pic... Avatea's in the next post down is a better size. XD]

There were a lot of seriously great costumes in that crowd.

Here are a few of us from the first round in Pocket D...



The Bride is the one in the middle. (And yeah, she's a Death Mage's wife. The poor guy's name is Nemissary. XD)

My needs are simple...

To really do my Nemissary proper justice, I just have to have the Death Mage outfit.

All of it.

I'm only up to Savage's missions, so I haven't seen all of it yet... But so far, I love this zone. (And Whisper, my stabby little claws stalker, wants to take Candlestick back home to Peregrine Island with her. He and Savage were great fun to chase around Resistance goons with. Very Set/Spike. )

It's a little hard to tell with her dark colors and the lighting, but Deirdre here is wearing several of the Barbarian bits. (Crown, boots and skirt-)

I didn't have time to attend either of the first two contests, and missed seeing a ton of the entries in yesterdays' "Dark & Mysterious" run... So I thought it might be fun to have a thread for posting the screenies everyone took, so we could all have a better chance at seeing 'em all.

Anyway... My lot:

Most of the 'Dark & Mysterious' semi-finalists-


The top ten and some of the staff judges... Who included an expert on "dark and mysterious", Dark Watcher-


Quite a rogues gallery... Although the Bride felt pretty safe surrounded as she was by a number of very impressive knights.


And a few of us in Pocket D, waiting for things to start. ("ARRRR!" I say to you guys. )

PvE-focused casual role-player and part-time badge-collector?

I do a little of everything, aside from PvP, and hope the server eventually has groups that cater to all of it.

I moved my namesake from Liberty to Exalted, along with my Union mastermind, and I've started a couple of alts with interesting names I couldn't get previously (I also grabbed my own Guardians of Elysion SG name, of course... I make a point of having that on every server I play on-) But Pally, Kestrel & Company are on Lib for good. My mains are going nowhere.

Given all the red lightning and her affinity for Mu mystics... I suspect Kestrel might have come out of her little run-in with Hequat with more than just a mask and an Adept boy-toy.

Beans (rad defender) is the avatar of the god of... beans. Or stink-bugs. Or both.

The rest of mine have nothing to do with Primal Earth's pantheon. They're Shard natives and are just channeling their creator's power a little more strongly.

As I said in the other thread, I missed getting Willow and that makes me a little sad... but I managed to claim a few others that I'd always wanted and couldn't have on my home servers.

I got Whisper, Merlin, Starlight, Shakti, Papageno (Tamino and Pamina are on Liberty XD), Huginn and Muninn. The first four have already been started and the fifth will be on his way once Titan Weapons is live. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the raven twins yet, but they're not going to sit idle forever. I like the names too much for that.

And, yeah... Since it *is* the "Exalted" server (and I'm a fan of the tabletop game-), I also have Abyssal and Raksha. Two of my three favorite factions... Alas, Sidereal was already taken. XP

I missed out on Willow... I would really love to have had that one. (I wanted to make a CoH version of one of my tabletop Exalted RPG characters with that name...)

Hmm. No mention of a fix for server transfers for characters with apostrophes in their names... Bummer. I still need to move Mei'jin...

Odd...
I just tried it and was able to scroll all the way down the list as usual.

Maybe part of the delay was fixing the list?

My Elysion would still being doing exactly the same sorts of things they do now, either on Primal Earth or in Praetoria or in the Shard... They were created for a specific purpose and take their task very seriously. The "family" so-to-speak would probably be a bit larger, given the number of pairs there are among the members of the flight, but with only ten years passing the next generation of bird-brains would still be a little young to take up the fight themselves.

Still... It would interesting to puzzle out exactly how the fledgelings from a couple like Shade (dark-phase Kin Melee stalker) and Mist (bright-phase Peacebringer) would turn out. "We suspect they're the brightest, most shiny bird-things in the galaxy... But we don't know for sure. Because nobody can see them."

My home servers are Liberty and Union... I'll certainly make a few characters on Exalted, just like I have a few on Virtue and one on Freedom, but I'm not going to pull up stakes and make that my primary playground.
