Please tell me Bloomer Girl is MA/.

My Hero and Villain had the same problem, but they did get together. It ended badly though.

Hey, I remember this! You put a good story together, that's for sure.
I love it when the bad guy has a legitimate point to make. It makes them even worse in a lot of ways, partly because you could almost root for them.
And your protagonists are really cool. Well done. -

And Soul_Train, the thematic mother of us all.

It's full of Funk.
"I have had it with these ************* Trolls in this ************* Hollows!"
P.S. This character has encouraged me to broaden my musical horizons and I'm listening to more Funk. And you know, I like it! Pandora rules. -
Gratz! You bring honor on yourself and this fine game!

Funky Flames is alive and well in game now. Thanks again to everyone who participated. I think Samuel Freeman Snipes (aka Funky Flames) is going to go the distance. Buildup+Fiery Embrance on a Scrapper? With costumes that look this outstanding? Yeah, he's gonna 50 alright I can feel it.
I've already gotten some...interesting comments from people. I always look to get interesting comments and it never fails to make me even more interested in a character.
His cologne went from a one-time application thing to something he has to apply every day or lose his powers. This also gives him the opportunity to constantly work on the formula to improve it and make his powers even more powerful.
Now I'm off to get the Funk up. -
I'm glad you did post yours. I enjoyed it.

SLJ just simply rules. He's even cooler than Wesley Snipes.
I'm humbled by the work you guys have put in on these. All of you, everyone who responded to this thread. I truly do appreciate it! And I can't believe the name Funky Flames was actually available on Virtue. Sometimes you get lucky.
The concern about blacksploitation is a very valid one, and one I'm always acutely sensitive to. Blacksploitation was giving jobs to black actors at a time when that was especially hard to come by. And they were depicted as heroes. Anti-heroes, perhaps, but heroes nonetheless, and this was a groundbreaking development in cinema for black actors. Great actors like Pam Grier would possibly be unknown today if not for roles like these. Also consider that the white characters in this game are also very much cartoonish stereotypes as well, it's kind of the nature of the beast.
This character is meant as an homage to those cinematic characters, and depicts a strong black man who is working against evil and to make the world a better place...with questionable fashion sense.
As to these fantastic costumes, thanks again to everyone for making them! I've picked the ones I'll use on various costume slots, and I can't wait to finally see the new Hollows.
Redside is great, but sometimes you just want to be the Hero, you know? -

Just a quick play-through in the creator:

Oh, that's good work! The red and black are too villainous (I do lots of red and black on my villains; no I'm not that creative lol), but the overall look is way better than anything I was doing last night.

Can you dig it?
Also, Tights + Straight Boot option = Pseudo Bell bottoms

I can dig it! And that's a great tip. Two great looks so far, I hope to get a few more.
Awesome stuff! -
Speedy recovery and good health to you tpull!
And I know how fun animations can be. When on my MA/SR Scrapper I Eagle's Claw a mob to defeat and just then Practiced Brawler refreshes, causing my guy to give a victorious sling of the elbow, that's just one of the most fun things in the game for me and it's part of what keeps me playing him even after 50. The animations of MA and SR go so very well together. Not the best pairing mathematically, but thematic symmetry couldn't be better.
P.S. And yes, some of the missons on blueside really could use an updating. Think Fed Ex missions are frustrating? Remeber hunting 65 Carnies in PI? I'll bet you do, and it's my current frustration with the game. -
I love this character concept, and the costume is just superb! The art lives up to it and more.
-
So I'm trying to spend a bit more time on blueside and I've come up with a name and character idea I like, but am having a lot of trouble coming up with the right look. Here's the vitals:
Name: Funky Flames
Archetype: Scrapper
Power Sets: Fire/Fire
Origin: Science (set on fire via pyrotechnics accident at his funk music concert; life saved by the "Smell that Funk!" brand of cologne he was wearing a copious quantity of; he had developed it in his father's super science lab; instead of burning to death the super science cologne infused the flame with his skin permanently; the formula was lost in the accident)
Look notes: skinny, big afro, 1970s funk vibe, African-American, 6'6" or so tall, sunglasses -
Does anyone ever tell you you look like Cary Elwes?
-
I think you broke my browser with that page. Someone went to the MySpace School of Web Design. And no, it's not a good school.
I'm sure the vids are in there. Somewhere. -
Anyone else find it ironic the belly tee is available at 9 months?
-
I can't imagine logging in characters just for a badge, but that's the life of a badger I guess.
Say tpull, how'd you like the Stalker buff? You didn't mention it. Did you even notice it? -
Punk and grunge are really just two forms of metal. Nu wave, yeah, that's definitely not metal lol.

Thanks you for the VEATs wedding pack purchasers! You are all scholars!
