JGHopkins

I'm coming back to the game after being gone for a year and I'm looking for a new SG or static team. I play on making a tank, either INV/SS or shield and sword scrapper.

im not settled on name or costume yet, but with so much changing I decided that it's prolly better to retire my old character for now and start over to relearn everything :P


other than that I've been playing before they introduced bows and croatoa. Have one actice lvl 50 on Justice. Used to be a member of the LOJ on Justice server as well.

I'm trying to create a telekinetic character, who is not psychic. He can't read mind or get inside peoples heads.
But there is no real telekinetic set obviously, there are psychic set with telekinetic powers.

anyway so anyadvice on creating a convincing TK set?

this is basically my set-up

it's not great ( and the IOs I'll be probably be starting from scratch anyway since mine are all junky :P)


what I'm going for is sort of a balanced build, I spend a alot of time in melee, but I usually start out distance and run forward.

I'm also trying to minimize attacks I don't reall use like Voltaic Sentinel.

it doesn't need to use all of the blaster power just trying to make a very powerful build

but build a a horrible weak point of mine.

any help would be much appreciated

I'm just coming back after a 6 month break (3 of those being banned because my account was hacked).

and I feel a little lost returning, sort of out of place. So I want to do something different and try RPing. Ineed to relearn alot of the game because a lot has changed since I left...didn't realize 6 months made such a difference.


anyway my character is going to be an amped up version of me, at least to start.


quick goal, he just got his powers which right now are slightly enhanced strength, speed and willpower (endurance stamina etc.) they may evolve more later I haven't decided. He is 24, and a devout Jehovahs Witness, a fact that often come in conflict with his heroing career.

He is new to the city and hasn't found his identity as a hero and is having trouble even seeing himself as such.

He is quiet until he gets to know you, after that he tends to talk a little to much.


so here is his bio:

Justin Hopkins was born in Florida and recently moved to paragon city at the request of some friends. Back in his hometown nothing exciting every happened to him, he hung out with friends etc. The same thing any normal 24 year old male (human) would do.

After Arriving in paragon city he stopped at a local resturaunt to grab a bite on the way to his new apartment in Atlas park. Justin had always considered himself athletic, he played soccer, workout and could wrestle all his friends to a stand-still. he also considered himself lucky...unfortunatley that luck was not with him.

Not five minutes after starting to take a bite into a delicious looking bacon Cheesburger, than two men burst in demandin money from the cashier. Justin stood up to try and help and take the thugs down, they were smaller and didn't appear to be any threat....Until one of them starting creating a white light in his hands.

The thug noticed Justin standing up and promptly attacked him to make a point. After a few minutes of wrestling the thug managed to hit Justin square in the chest with whatever energy was sorrounding his hands.

Four hours later Justin woke up in the hospital, the doctors had cleared him but kept him overnight for observation and to lecture him for getting involved in "hero Business."

After finally leaving the hospital Justin started to walk back toward where he should have been the night before, home. But of course living in Paragon City complicates things. On the short route home form the hospital Justin was confraonted by one of the two thugs from the resturaunt, the thug once again attacked with the energy on his hands. Justin felt different though, faster, stronger. He seemed to be able to not feel much pain when he got hit, and his punches and kick carried more power and weight than before.

He managed to defeat the thug with almost no effort, he called the police and they showed up and escorted the thug to prison, after congrulating Justin on a job well done for a civilian he headed home...again.

Little did he know that he was being watched by a local hero who noticed his potential as a hero and an ally. (the story would start from here in-game)

Just CoH related

I'm putting this here rather than in the costume help thread cause it's a general question on everyone opinion.

I recently gather that most of the forum community consideres the Iconic powers (the powers that first come to mind when thinking about CoH) Seem to be an NRG/NRG Blaster..

I'm coming to the second part of the question. If you were to design a hero based on this "Iconic CoH character" what would you create?

Mine would be a blue/white Tights outfit, the powers would match the costume. pattern would be pattern 1. (i'd post a picture but I'm still trying to get Windows 7 to do that)

edit: or, if you think the Iconic CoH power is something other than NRG/NRG, what do you think it is?

nm snagged Medicor

I don't get it <.<

I am trying to think of a name for a mutant healer, but I'm stuck

basically he is an EX-emt raised on the medical field who was taking a break frmo it.

he was a in car accident and healed the other driver somehow.
he can teleport and shoot small bolts of electricity for some reason.

The character is suppose to be the incarnate of Aescleous, a roman god of healing trained by the centaur Chiron. but he doesn'y know that

I can't seem to get the jagged edges to go away.

I didn't have them before ultra mode and I am wondering if it has to do with screen resolutions

can't wait to try it myself

I need three more for this badge..where do I find the pains in the butt

don't forget when the prophecy of his return came true.

I was thinking the other day about how many games, MMO or otherwise have characters that I would consider the epitome of that series

for instance, Star Wars it would be Jedi, WoW(icky) Would be a Paladin etc.
I got to thinking about what would be classic in this game.

What do nyou think it is. A typical INV?SS tanker or someone using electricity. what about travel powers, fly is classic, but teleport is more prevalent.

what are your opinions on the subject.

(If I'm not being clear let me know)

Thanks for the Warm welcome Guys

I joined the group City of Gaymers and you may see me around the city as USAegis

Hello,

My name is Justin. I've been playing city of heroes since issue 4 (I remember when Crotoa and bows came out :P) but midway switched accounts (only 2 years on this account)

After a break from the game I am transferring to this server from Justice, nothing wrong with Justice (I was called Justices little brother on the forums) Just time for a change. I'm hoping to get to know the community better. I like getting involved and as soonas I come up with a name for my hero you'll be seeing me fly around.

I have a couple.

I have a INV/SS tanker named is grandfather was imbued with the power of the Dagda, a Tuatha de dannan high king. he holds the spirit of the dagda inside him the same way statesman holds zues power and Recluse hold tartarus.

I also have a hero named Fusioneer who is one of the nuclear 90

thakns for the info guys.

I'm sorta of working on a character that is a ms. liberty to his grandfather Statesman. Statesman uses Zeus the leader of the gods in greek mythology. I decided to go with Tyr who was likely the head of the gods in Europe before Odin became popular. My character grandfather was gifted with the power of Tyr (second in strength only to thor) and that power was passed onto his son and grandson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4%ABw

still a bit of a WIP but I just wanted to make sure that I was right that pandoras box opened and released some form of power.

It's either this or have the power just come from random energy from the box instead of attaching it to a god. I'm trying to get this character to have stronger ties to the mythology of the world

I remember reading in web of arachnos that when statesman and recluse drank from the well of furies that some sort fo power was spread around the world. I seem to remember them mentioning pandoras box but I could be wrong

But I can't seem to find anything about it on paragon wiki. I just wanted to make sure I had the info right.

my favorite concept character is AutoPulse
A paramedic turned superhero who uses specialized nanites to heal and increase the power of his allies.

http://jghopkins.deviantart.com/art/...shoo-133469894
http://jghopkins.deviantart.com/art/...nius-133470277

he can shoot bursts of electricity that is basically just run off from his suit.
Story goes that later in life the nanite shave fully integrated with his body and give him regeneration as well as not needing the suit to heal people.

when I get the costume to have just the right feel, with a name that matches

yeah it's just marketing, posi has told us before he wants to tell us more but they won't let him.

and I think that if it was canclled they would have said something. or at leats taken the ad off the front page :P
