Or you could just knock if you know the apartement and say "Hey, hate to bother you, but the other night when everyone had their windows open I was walking to my building and thought I heard the sound effects from the game "City of Heroes" coming from you window. I know this is a little upfront, but do you play?"
If they yes, then engage in more COH/V talk
If they say no say "Oh, ok sorry, it's an online game and I'm always looking for new players." -
I actually like the Navy Colts', but I play cowboys. I do wish they were sized better.

Great, next she'll be asking "what do we want" and then we'll need a Vorlon to put stop to this crap. This is an interesting concept, I've been using "soul vision" to justfy Jack' belief in Santa for years (Long before Superman got it, the thieves. First they steal my armored tech blaster with an armor stored in his bones ala extremis then soul vision...sigh at least I'm in good company
)
but I have no idea what my characters would manifest as. -
Drunk? You know that would explain alot about last night.....And father's day in......Austraila? Just wondered.

Talos is good, some great coves. Theres a great little hidden pool at the bottom of a waterfall in Eden.

Jeez Jack blows through missions as a tank, does plenty of damage..ok I can't solo drop most AV, but never have problems with EBs....unless they are evil endurance drainers. And the there is something to be said for jumpin' into a 8 hero +2 mission with no fear, something thirlling. But I don't play tanks right.
I have troubles with controllers, I get bored to easy and I am not social enough to be a team dependant player, a shame too cause I have some killer RP concept controllers. I have one ghost of 50's rock and roll B movie star.Johny Thunder I think, Sonic/storm. I have a Jesuit monk trained in the art Church magic whose an emp/rad Saint George. The never take off for me. -
((I 'poligize Pinny, I tend to think of you as the person whose team I should be on in L4D to make up for my own lack of skills. Unless I'm confused again...that happens a lot........))

Seri,
The GA is not the GA you remember, the name was sued out of existence and taken into the custody of the PPD (Long OOC story I'll tell ya some time, not drama filled hate, just some laziness on the part of the older members). I've gathered some of the original GA and put together and new group of Legends called strangely enough "The New Urban Legends" (which of course if funny cause the "New" legends actually has more of the original members then the other two groups sitting on the name, think New Teen Titans I guess, Lizzy can be Starfire.) We are in, essence, starting over....again.
(Basically we're still writing the back-story of how GA broke up/got stolen and collecting into a coalition of teams. We run two active OOC chat channels and an IC coalition between the .....publicly acceptable NUL team and a more aggressive vigilante team called the Blood Angels. There is a lot room to develop the story from scratch ie Avengers Reborn or something. Current members include Warp Factor, Caios, Fenix, Marial Martog, Shadowstormm and associated alts, plus a very good crew vera good RPrs, most of whom you've met. We're setting up now, rebuilding the prestige, base, ect. Once the first two groups are strongly established we're looking at setting up a Wolfepack team that works for Jack. Original concept was a team in Wolfetec armor, but I'm thinking more a private "Fringe" division with suits, pistols, and psychics to go after weird stuff. We don't have an application, we used to do interviews, but Seri would just be coming home....and where Seri goes so does LizOh, and we have a bit of a Zombie fetish....but it doesn't bleed into game...unless you count Caios, though if you call her a zombie she bites you.)

((um A link, to a less the perfect, but explination of Jack's rambling one truth Santa thing...sorta feel llike I flubed it.

Back in the early days I'd write something new every year along this theme. We had the team dinner one year as a writing challange, where Jack asked everyone to share there favorite holiday story, and the whole team did. Then we did a christmas round robin the next years that tuned into big charity drive, then this after we broke up. Maybe we'll start it again. Tons of fun folks, thanks.)) -
Hmm 499 on a level 51 rogue. That's my highest WoW character after 6 years.

The Journal of Dr Jack Wolfe Aug 20, 2010
Jack sat on the balcony of his loft above Plato's, scotch in hand a discarded photo by his chair. Across the beach on the cliffs overlooking the statue of Talos the old Urban Legends mansion, The Wolfe estate sat guarding the beautiful bay. After 8 years he could still see it, Rikti ships parked over Talos, the force-field flickering around his home, hear the Wolftec plasma cannons on the roofs of the island's building's firing away at the invaders.
The com call still echoed in his ears as the Wolfetec weapons went quiet "Dad, they got the power core."
Talos Island Aug 20 2002-Battle of Talos Island, First Rikti War:
Fighting a holding action in the streets of Talos Jack turned in time to see the shield around his home, his family falter, across the bay he could see the smoke rising from small island where the singularity reactor used to be. .Cursing he tore through the throngs of Rikti in the streets and leapt for his home. Shattering the ivy covered wall as he landed , he was met by a throng of Elite Solders. He could see his family in a line in the courtyard,
The Mentalists odd speech reaching his ears as he strained against the mob of Rikti against brought to bare against him.
"Statement: Hero weapons maker present Conclusion:Strategy Successful. Statement: Hostage usefulness ended."
The blade severed Karen's head cleanly, then his son's, their wives, his daughter, and his finally granddaughters.... Eventually Brawler was able to pull Jack off the armored Rikti, its' head reduced to paste from repeated blows.
"Jack, man, we have a war to win, get your guns back online."
Jack's Balcony Aug 20, 2010:
Eight years later he could still see it. Smell it. Fear it. A nightmare come to life, and it still brought him low.
Finishing his scotch Jack looked across and muttered "Happy Anniversary Karen, I miss you."
(((This flashback to the long dead Urban Legends forum brought to you by Me, who no longer has the heart for real character development. Its a happy story about the power love...really. Sorta hinted at this in our RP last weekend Rose, see what Liz accidentally touched on. For the record I always imagined the Wolfe estate in field/parking lot next to the magic shop, barely visible from the loft over Plato's. It's also the reason for all the deceased entries on his Virtue-Verse profile. ))) -
Brouge...............If I weren't already invulnerable I'd bash my head into the wall several times.

Hey all, I've noticed Urban Legends and The Urban Legends are still registered super groups on Virtue, but their prestige isn't moving. Urban Legends was formed day 1 of release 1 and imploded about 18 months later, I don't know who the name passed to. Does anyone know who's holding these? Me and another original member (Warp Factor) of the Legends would like the name back if possible. I have influence, lots of it.

Quote:I'm open anytime I'm on line. The 9/11 thing could be very interesting, though I'm not sure it happened in the CoH world.This is a good idea for my part as I as well dont enjoy the D or under the butt rp either, but thats just where people choose to gather now, and as I abhor committing my time on a regular basis anywhere during the weekends having a casual place that is a jog down memory lane for us old folks to return to, to just chill out, say hello, cause some random mayhem would be nice for a change to the current /emo walllean "sup" *pours stiff drink and purrs*
So yeah count me in for every 2 weeks.
Though 9/11 old folks remembrance day at the park sounds kinda sadling -
What if you already have a goat?
<-------- (ok where the hells did my avatar go?)) -
Jack Had PTSD after the first war, when the game started. Some pretty dark crap going on there. The early game Wolfe had given up on life and was living in a haze. Supergroup brought him out of it.
I don't know if I"m gonna crack any of my others, one or two are dark enough to go half way, but virtually none of my heroes of villians want to bring down goverment and take over the world. Moratalis does enjoy killing and terror, but wants nothing to do with controling the world. -
((Ok, but I don't write anymore))
The Journals Of Dr Jack Wolfe; Aug 18 2010
Kings Row: Guardian Angels Rec Center for Wayward Children and heroes.
"Tell us a story." the girl pleaded
"Yeah a true story about the war Dr Wolfe, the second war. Dad says you and most of Guardian Angels abandoned the Row during that war." A much too cocky early teen chimed in, "I just think you was scared."
"Scared kid, anyone not scared facing the Rikti doesn't have the sense they was born with, but yea the Angels did miss the first part of that fight. Not on purpose dude, but fate has a way of movin' the players off the board." Jack stopped a second and looked at the gathering crowd of kids, "Tell ya what kids, I tell what happened first day of the second invasion, the day we was reported dead, or according you kid, we got scared. It was beautiful day, and the Angels were tired......"
Aug 7th 2007, Talos Bay a secluded cove where the waves break just right;
The Angels were taking a break, a small beach party to keep things loose. Jack was on his board watching the kids romp on the beach when the first cruiser appeared. Maggie knew before it appeared, she had a sense of these things and had started to erect a shield when the first shots rang out. Luckily, or not, depending on your perspective Jack had time to get in front and deflect the massive green beam. Hitting the beach like an artillery shell, Jack had barely gotten do his knees when the second salvo tried to strip the skin from his bones.
“Jack! The energy signature its..”
“Rikti, yeah Maggie, the engineer in me recognizes the technology. It’s a new design though, and it kicks like a mule.” Increasing the local gravity field, Jack drew two more incoming bolts to him creating and even larger crater on the beach.
“New….but the Rikti here doesn’t have those kind resources that means…. Jack a new invasion.”
“GRRRR, hopefully a scouting mission Mags, we can repel this.” Barely airborne a green bolt once more smacked the small, but massive man to the beach.
“That is getting damned annoying.” Gazing intently at the attacking ship, beams of pure white flashed from Jack’s eyes and the ship’s shield flared.
“To bloody right” the tall red head in the green bikini screamed, a 6 foot sword in her hand, after a couple of blinding fast steps she was airborne, covering the 200 meters between her and the cruiser in a single bound sparks followed her blade as it dragged along the hull of the ship. A gash matching the curve of her leap appeared in the vessel’s armor. Splashing down 300 meters from shore she sank to the bottom, and in one incredible leap put herself back on the beach.
A small still running Parcel Service Delivery truck, then a forklift with the Wolfetec logo and what appeared to be a sculpture from Perez Park impacted on the hull of the craft. A golden ball, much like the one at Jack’s core, appeared next to Warp Factor and started buffeting the invader. “No problems, we can take this son of a *****” thought Jack when Maggie screamed
“Something new, portals lots of them.” She was right of course. Small portals had appeared on either side of the ship, and pods were falling from them. But unlike the old style landing pods, these exploded.
“Crap, they finally figured out strategic bombing.” The first explosion shattered the islet Jack saw some of the team get buried. Belle, Miguel at her side began to help the injured. Rikti soldiers suddenly started appearing on the beach, and began falling just as quickly as Miguel, with frightening fury, dispatched the invading horde.
“God damned Rikti should all just die.” muttered Jack, suppressing the rage he felt. The Rikti had killed his family, if this branch of the dimension hopping fiends thought this Earth was going to roll over they were sadly mistaken. White flashed from his eyes again and the cannons on the ship were silenced. Leaping to into the air Jack began intercepting the bombs as they fell. The beach was littered with Rikti troops as DeathSpider and Ragnrok struck them down before they could gain a foothold. Belle was busy keeping the scrappy duo on their feet, healing them and boosting their stamina and strength. Jack could see the gravametrics flowing off Warp Factor, her face screwed up in concentration as she battered the cruiser by visualizing equations in her head while her powers warped local space to match the geometry her mind spelled out.
Smirking Jack grunted “Wrong World boys, wrong group of heroes.”
Eight beams crashed into his back, the bomb he’d been cradling exploding when he hit the beach. The world stopped, as he rolled over, the team standing around him, Maggie sweating as she held a massive shield in place above them. The air screamed and burned away as a dozen beams from six more of the drop ships impacted on the shield. Nearly fifty portals opened as the cruisers passed overhead, each materializing a gravimetric bomb.
“Maggie get us the f*** outta here.” Transition and pain, Jack hated teleportation, even the bending of space Maggie used. He heard Warp Factor scream as she strained to move 5 bodies and the mass of energy, exotic biomatter, and gravity well that was Jack.
“This was taking too long; Talos should be an easy hop for Maggie.” Jack thought. Then the literal light at the end of the tunnel flooded the wormhole. .
They popped out into real space, the force bubble flickered the solidified as Maggie's inherent sense of space and time told her where she was. Clouds dotted the sky, but Jack recognized this beach on the edge of a methane sea, he'd shown Maggie the photos he took and gave her the gravametric coordinates last time he was here.
"Jesus You didn't have to take us all the way to Titan, Maggie, the Talos hospital would have been fine.” Jack said coming to his feet in the middle of the bubble.
Behind him DeathSpider chuckled nervously "You mean Titan Studios right Jack? Right? Jack....oh ****" DS followed Jack's gaze into the night where Saturn was just rising over an alien landscape. -
((No no no the Orbital Death....er Asteroid defense and solar station needs the cleaning)))

((Jack will be running tests at his Volcano lair...er um research lab. Yeah, lab, not villian lair...no that would be wrong.))

(((I hope at least on of the lines gets followed up on Ascendant made a date with Rose and well, as I heard flying by the yellow line after the party broke up, promptly forgot who he was talking to and where he was supposed to meet her. HI-Larry-Ous. Sea Hawk's reaction to Big A actually performing the "Hero Mating Ritual", genius.)))
