CBeet

Oh don't worry, someone will...

Ef crouched behind the bar, the black mist returning to it's source. He stalked towards the apparition sent to do away with him, and with a deep breath his eyes turned pitch black, the spirit quickly dissipating from the area.

Grabbing another drink, he took a few swigs before the brutish thug dived behind the bar making him jump, then chuckle as he stayed unnoticed. Peering over the bar at the undead and technological chaos occuring gave him an idea. Reaching into his baggy top he pulled out a modded sonic grenade, made to release a sonic boom powerful enough to knock people over and cause temporary deafness. Pulling the pin only held in by a piece of tape, he threw it over the bar into the group of fighters and put his fingers in his ears.

Yes please.



Don't think Parry would be overpowered, afterall, Drain Psyche

Radiation Melee looks good, perfect even, it's just Radiation Armour that needs a tweak (as stated beforehand). It's a sound idea, just needs tweaks.

Accelrate Metabolism: Considering what it is, it might be overpowered on a Tank. I'd say move it to #8, turn it into a click with a recharge time similar to the original and take away the mez protection. For numbers, would say.. +20% run speed, 15% recharge, 25% recovery, 10% damage and throw in 15% resistance to end drain, -recovery, -recharge and -speed.

Choking Cloud: Underpowered, no reason to take it, you already have debuffs so it's not needed as a taunt aura, so how about;

Atomic Balance: Toggle protection to hold, stun, immob, sleep and repel, +resistance to energy (10%), +defence to energy (5%).

As for the rest of it, it'd just depend on the debuff numbers, at a glance would say about 5-10% debuff for each number, if possible having it scale with enemy rank (7% debuff to Minion, 9% to Lietenant, 12% to Boss, 15% to Elite Boss, 20% to AV, 30% to GM)

Good job, you got some great ideas there.

A pair of Sky Raider Engineers in Pocket D talking

25th Jan, 7pm

"Had some wierd jobs through the years, stealing from a charity store, placing a bomb in an abandoned warehouse.. Wierd stuff, y'know?"

"Call that wierd? Just last week some guy paid me $20,000 up front to steal a seat from one of those trams, then another $10,000 to put it back!"

"Damn, insane people with too much money, what's this world comin' to?"


A group of women having a night out on the town in Skyway, talking loudly through their drunken haze

23rd Jan, 11pm

"So yeah, like, this place is way too freaky, y'know? Those mages and stuff, all wierd!"

"Err! Yeah! Saw this ugly mutant guy or something, mouth went, like, ear to ear and his eyes, I mean, eww!"

"Eww! Didn't look at you or anythin' did it?"

"It did! It was really creepy, it just like, stared at me then ran down an alleyway, was like, one of those bigfoot sightings."

"Oh, he had big feet!?"

With that, they all burst out laughing, entering the next nightclub of the evening.


A pair of smugglers talking at one of the Pork Oakes docks

26th Jan

"Tell me 'bout it, the nutjobs around here are always tryin' to double-cross this profession. It's a tough job, but gets ya by."

"Yeah, hell, I've made a good haul this year, some kid keeps taking rides to Paragon and back, practically every day, I'd tell him to move there if it weren't such good money."

"Any chance you could tell me who? Ain' been racking in the dough like usual because of the weather."

"Hell no, smuggler-villain confidentiality."

With that he smirked, both roaring with laughter

"No serious, tell me, I'm low on money."

"I'm not telling you squat, if I keep on going like this I can finally move out of the shack I'm in now."

A shuriken flew through the air for a headshot against one of the zombies, it's origin unknown as a black mist seemed to drift around the back of the bar. Seeing an oppertunity, Ef reached out at Drake's ankles as he leapt off the bar, hoping to make him land face first

Side-stepping a thrown chair and catching an unfortunately empty bottle of whisky, Efranof walked up to the bar and leant over looking for the barman, "Hey, where are ya? Thirsty here." Grumbling, he quickly found his face flat against the near rotten wood having been hit in the back of the head with a bar stool.

The thug-like attacker fell to the floor holding his crotch, victim to a reflex reaction of Efranof's. He grumbled again, looking around, "A'right, who started this thing so I can-" WHAM, a body flew from almost nowhere strait into Ef, knocking them both over the bar.

Grabbing an unknown alcoholic beverage, he popped the top off and downed half of it's contents, rolling the unconcious man off and getting up he growled to those present.

"Hey! Who threw that!?"

Beet sat rigid through the entire flight, he nodded after Susan, "I am Beet, I mostly supply ranged support and a variety of technical devices to manipulate or downright take down the enemy. If needed, I can set up an emergency teleportation system should we be met with overwhelming hostiles, there is also a regeneration device you can each have in advance, it will be able to heal any physical wounds but it's one use only." He pulled several small tazer like devices from his belt, looking at the group of heroes.

Ooh funky just noticed the front page, thanks

Beet stayed in the same position, hovering a few milimeters off the ground as he follows with the group.

Spruk got up and wrapped his trenchcoat back on, still grinning. As he left, he looked at the group, "He's crazy, but there was a point there." and with that, he walked through the large doors and towards the Isles.

Spruk pulled a pen from his pocket and fiddled around with it, listening to the bad Doctor. He raised his head with interest at the words 'you need me' and chuckled as Ed showed another side of himself. At the end, he looked at Pistol in a way to say 'He may be crazy, but he has a point'.

He grinned, checking his watch. "Ooh, you're interesting, you do all that to get people's attention? Outlandish, insane and destructive. Although, even YOU should be careful, it's always good to plan ahead, even if it's an escape plan. What if this doesn't go your way, hmm?"

The sound of Spruk's steps were heavy as he entered the Tiki lounge, literally grinning ear to ear. He took off his black trench coat and draped it over the back of a chair, sitting down. "You rang?"

Good ideas, although;

[ QUOTE ]
Turn one of the zones into a co-op zone like Cimerora and the Rikti Warzone. Turn one of the zones into a PvP Zone, including the jump geysers for random fun.

As mentioned above, there are perhaps too many PvP and co-op zones, although there may be a way around it. If Cascade Archipelago is turned into a Villain only zone with Firebase Zulu as Hero only, then the Chantry and Storm Palace could be converted into something like a co-op zone crossed with a PvP zone. In the zones, Heroes and Villains can enter them but they can't team, they run different missions and, say in the top right corner under your xp bar you get a button where you can toggle yourself as a PvPer. You can use it to PvP (run private events?) or you can choose not to fight and just go about normal business.

Darvek's great form appeared in an alleyway several streets away from the Countess' damaged home. He slowly turned back to a human, adjusting his tie mid-transformation hoping to waste no time. Making his way towards the dwelling, he noticed the damage done by a nearby car bomb, he cracked his knuckles. Glancing at the limousine and walking back into the alleyway, he transformed and disappeared in a flash of red.

-----------------------------

Off the shore of Sharkhead, Spruk sat in a motorboat heading towards the main land, constructing what looked like a bomb. Attaching a gas canister to the side, he grinned, having been inspired by a recent television broadcast.

At the Darvek mansion, Albert was sat in his heavy armchair with a cherry in one hand and remote control in the other, watching the 24/7 news channel. When the screen flickered, David entered the room carrying a bowl of cereal. "Oh goody, my favorite show." He sat down with glee, simply drinking the bowl's contents as Dr Mechano was talking, laughing at a few points.

At the end of the broadcast, David sat back and set an empty bowl on the ground, grinning his wicked grin. "Oh, this will be interesting."

Albert gave David a glance, "Son, I believe this is more serious than you think. I can feel the anarchy in the air.. I'm leaving, should see you after dark, I'm sure you can take care of dinner." He got up, finishing his glass of sherry and holding a small amulet around his neck, it glowed a dim red as he opened the door the left.

As he walked away from the building towards the shore, he started to grow. Not much at first, but the further away he walked the larger he got. His skin turned black, then his clothes started to sink into his skin, being replaced by an impossibly hard metal shell. Small red sparks flew from his body, his eyes turning dark as a red helmet formed, horns erupting from either side. Lord Darvek put his foot into the water and disappeared in a flash of red.

Efranof stared blankly at the television screen after the announcement. His armour and weapons rattled as he got up, cracking his knuckles and putting his hand on a table covered in various melee and ballistic weapons. He picked up a high power sniper rifle and slug it over his back, slowly disappearing into a black mist. He saw an oppertunity to clean up the streets without worry and he took it.

Sunday, 8:23am, multiple shots rang through Kings Row as the butchers who serve Doctor Vahzilok fell to the ground with a fatal head wound. Efranof kept to the rooftops and shadows, hiding from the naked eye and firing towards the mercyless killers, eventually stopping after running out of ammunition. He took a sigh of relief, "S'pose better go after the nut too.." And with that, he fell into the ground, a dark mist staying behind, eventually dissipating as ambulance sirens approached the scene.

Commander Beet appeared in the corner of the room, arms behind his back like a soldier. "Commander Beet, reporting for duty." He gave a salute then returned to his original stance.

FOUR!

The force is strong in this thread

Favorite? Positron and Synapse (as a duo), you'll know why if you've read the book Freedom Phalanx, plus I'm a sucker for technology or science based Heroes.

Most hated.. Has to be Manticore, he just seems to.. Bland and predictable, a classic (and well used) superhero background, and tbh not a fan of his costume either

Runner up favorite, Scirroco, a great background, interesting personality and very nice costume, not my favorite due to him being magic, and I don't like Mu as an enemy group

Runner up hated, Sister Psyche, a pretty original background but not a good personality, doesn't get my attension (her cotume does, but that's not neccesarily a good thing)


Nice thread idea.

Yes.

Woo awesome! You're a Saint DD

Bake stood his ground, watching the hostage situation unfold. If there was an opening, he was going to take it, but now.. Too risky, he doesn't want to mess up something like this. Taking a deep breath, he put both arms at his sides, staring daggers at the villainess.

Dominator 'cause Scirroco's the Corruptor

Baked turned to Cocktail, but it was too late, he was hit by the molotov, being set alight head to toe. He laughed, "You kiddin' me?" and went for the thug who took a mouth full of some flammable substance before raising a lighter to his mouth, spitting a cone of deadly flames at the hero. Baked walked through it, grabbed the pyromaniac by the collar and headbutted him.

Turning to the woman, his arms started to smoke, fire building inside. This caused the distraction needed for the fire crazed thug to get in a strait punch into the hero's face. He turned, both of them grabbing the other in a test of strength. Bake hopped with an explosive blast, spinning over and behind the villain before throwing him to the ground. A quick kick to the gut let him turn his attentions to the villainess once again.
