CBeet

He tried to dodge, but the bullet hit his shoulder, the force of the round hitting evaporated it's effects before it became a problem, "Nice try!" He faced the villain with a grin before clapping his hands infront of himself, sending a wave of smoke towards her. Hoping to use it as cover he went strait for her, his fist clenched he tried a gut punch, if it worked he would then knee her in the chin.

Baked gripped the pipe attached to his glove and took a deep breath, he put the pipe up to his mouth and jumped over the edge of the truck, looking at the villainess and breathing out. Flames burst from the pipe like a flamethrower, reaching just far enough for her to feel the heat but not be set alight.

Barely dodging a shot of acid from the small turret, Baked was distracted long enough for the thugs to grab him by the arms and beat him to the ground. Despite previous efforts, each hit didn't create a burst of flame. The turret aimed at him and fired, with a shout and a rumble he released the pent up fire, throwing the thugs away and destroying the device.

He quickly got to his feet, taking off his t-shirt as it slowly fizzed away. "Argh you- Damn!" Slamming one foot into the ground, he leapt up in a small explosion, landing on top of the truck. "Where the heck'd that come from?!" He looked around the area, his entire body smoking.

Baked got to his feet, seemingly unhurt by the impact. He cracked his knuckles, turning his attention to a thug with dual revolvers, "Bring it punk!" The thug didn't flinch, his cohort standing behind the hero with his guns aimed towards him. Several shots fired, the bullets flew back towards the attacker from being deflected by small explosions on Baked's back.

"The heck was that?" He spun on the spot, turning his momentum into a roundhouse kick into the thug's face, the point where they connected bursting into flames, then ending on the same spot, "Alright, your turn!" And he started to fight the other thugs.

We can but hope.

In seriousornessesity, what about that ST heal Mu bosses have?

Thunderous Blast.

Rocketing through the air, Baked Potato rushed towards Galaxy City, still fiddling with his police scanner trying to hook it to his belt again. Rising higher he flew over the War Walls in Steel Canyon towards Galaxy, like a comet in the sky.

Keeping high in the air, he searched for the crime scene, from afar it'd look like a large fireball hurtling through the air. He launched himself towards the criminals, building up speed. If his aim was right, he'd hit the area in the middle of the villains causing a small firey explosion, if he gets disrupted it could get messy..

Corr?

The Ice secondary effect is -recharge, -recharge means slower attacks and slower attacks means less fury. 'Least, that's the reason I was told, so no Ice/Ice Brutes.

I recognise some of them, I think it's a part of Kings Row, although a few of them.. Never seen 'em before. Perhaps the previously talked about graphics upgrade?

Welcome back Doc!

It's midday, give it a minute. In the meantime, have a wander around the new zones, systems, powersets, costu....*walks off mumbling all the updates in last 3 years*

Baked heard the callout mid-jump. With a slight hop after his landing, he rocketed into the air towards where he thought the voice was.

Landing outside Pandora's Box he checked the area, spotting the heroes, "Awesome, looks like we got the better of him." Only after he said it he realised how bad an idea it was.

The flaming hero landed with a crash in a car park. He checked each car in a hurry, took a deep breath and mumbled to himself "Damn, needle in a haystack.. Need a magnet.." He looked around, stopping to think. "Mad guy, wants to poison the city.. He'll want somewhere with lotsa places nearby, open area, maximum spread.." With a hop he starting jumping from car to car with explosive force, checking them in turn through the middle of Steel Canyon.

The screen flickered in his apartment, Dr Mechano's latest scheme started playing on the box. The hero known as Baked Potato had fallen asleep watching one of the many generic music channels. He snorted, getting up and looking at the screen with groggy eyes, almost instantly waking up at the words 'high explosives' and grabbing his hero costume, putting it on in a hurry.

The broadcast ended, Baked Potato jumped out of the window and propelled himself through the air like a missile towards Steel Canyon, a comet flying through the early morning sky.

"Oh @#?% that guy's a freakin' nutjob!"

Deep within a bunker near the Terra Volta reactor, machines whirred and roared with life, constructing robotic shells and intricate gadgets, a single blue automoton overlooking the construction. Eyes glowing a dim red setting an eerie tone against the machinery. It's eyes fading out, it's body stopping with unnatural steadiness.

At Portal Corps, an extra name appeared on a list of Heroes for an inter-planetary mission. Commander Beet's eyes lit up back in his workshop, getting back to work.

Well you can already get Roman Armour and the Talsorian weapons are an extension of Vanguard armour, but other than that would like to see Ruluruu costume pieces

A Co* RTS game'd be fun, pass it to the people who make the Dawn of War games and have Arachnos, Council, Nemesis and Longbow as the 'armies' with each map being CoH/CoV zones. Add in a unique system which spawns random Superheroes or Supervillains to cause chaos and you got a game.

Since nobody else has said about it, how about a Co* racing game? Play it like a cross between Burnout and Mario Kart with the signature Heroes and Villains driving and parts of the zones as racing tracks. As you drive you can slowly build up Endurance Points to use your char's powers in some way, off the top of my head...

Synapse - Gets out and pushes the car super fast for 5 seconds, zaps the nearest car with a bolt of lightning stunning them for a little while

Statesman - Picks up his car and flies for 10 secs letting you cut corners, drives up to and punches/flips a nearby car

Manticore - Fires an arrow at a nearby car's tyre slowing them down and mucking up their handling, turns invisible and gains a small speed boost for 5 seconds

Recluse - Fires energy beams from his spider legs randomly exploding and stunning cars infront of him, summons Bane Spiders in small cars around him who absorb any powers aimed at him

Mako - Disappears underground with just a fin showing and stuns anyone he drives under, front of his car opens like a shark's mouth and grabs the car infront and throws them aside

Black Scorpion - Fires a beam from his tail strait ahead knocking any cars in the way aside and slowing them down for a few seconds, fires a beam from his arm at a nearby car knocking them into the wall


Have an unlockable Generic Hero 100927 which looks like the green char from character creation and it'd be awesome

*jumps into Mids*

After a bit of playing about, I'd say Efficacy Adaptor: Endmod/Endurance, Endmod/Acc (1.13% Hp boost), Cleaving Blow Acc/Dam, Scirroco's Dervish Dam/End, Damage Proc (10% regen boost), Muiti Strike Dam/End.

If all 50, That's 53% acc, 78% dam, 78% endred, 53% endmod and a chance for extra Lethal damage

What about -50% end and unable to recover end for 10 seconds, even through insp/clicks, sure that'd annoy most sets If not then add in a huge -speed debuff or long duration immob, sorted.

Looking forward to fighting on him again, got to L30 since then

Righty-o CB.

Spruk after he pumped himself up on his own venoms goes on a killing spree in a Longbow base, killing the supposed keepers of peace in increasingly horrific/humourous ways while singing Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

Hah, been looking for this thread, thought I'd never find it.

Ooh good idea.

Skulltipped, this is his indoors/summer costume, quite proud at how it came out.

Baked Potato, this is his PvP/big fight/show off costume

Commander Beet, the main costume where the only change since creation has been the addition of a cape. I think. Memory's a little rusty.

The cursed forum bug strikes again!

Scene: Efranof stalking around a warehouse full of villains, thinking up a way to mess with their heads before he arrests them, and then..

Song: Hoosiers, Killer. He sneaks around, unseen singing this room to room, making some of the villains disappear at key lines and cackling when one of them runs because of fear.



Scene: Albert Darvek while not possessed walking through the streets when a drug addict comes out of an alleyway with a knife trying to mug him, Albert smirks and sings a slightly altered form of..

Song: Run to the Hills, Iron Maiden. All the while, he slowly warps and transforms, by the end he's fully Darvek and just swats the mugger through a wall then disappears in a flash of demonic lightning.
