brilliant, love the chart. nice to know that the game is doing well
-
yeah thats what I figured.
what exactly should I be looking for in a laptop. I pretty much know what to look for hardware wise in a desktop, but not sure abot lapttops.
I actually don't have a compurter that really runs coh, so I'm just looking for a replacemnt. -
I recently came into the position of needing a new computer.
I've been looking around for a quickie. I don't really have time to build one between school and work.
Right now I'm using a 5 year old laptop that BARELY runs CoH on minimum (safe mode)
I was looking at a couple computers and just wanted to see if they are worth the money.
the first one is a laptop

it's kind of on the really far end of what I wanna spend since my budget is small, but just wondering if you guys think it's worth the extra cash.
this is the other

this is more my budget, but again just wanted to see if you guys think it's worth it. -
I have plenty of time to work on the character now :P
spilt coffee on my computer and now I need to build a new one T.T -
I like that a lot...but still lacking a name. Twilight Huntsman is okay but it doesn't feel right for the character
-
it's kind of a wierd thing.
the character himself has no real mental issues. He just wants to protect people.
he is not depressed or angsty. He is not interested in picking up dates.
his pwers are basically spiderman w/o the web-slinging or spidersense or wall sticking.
It's his superhero identity that I'm looking to kind of be batman=superman..in other words if I used my Classic tank USApex, this guy would be the opposite. Work form the shadows, his costume is mostly black.
it's kind of hard to explain so the best way I can think is what I posted originally
normally I make------but I am now making
Jedi Smuggler
Paladin Rogue
Superman Batman
it's more the vigilante/Rogue persona I'm going for.
sorry if that doesn't make any sens ebut it's 4am where I am and I'm VERY sleep deprived :P -
okay I'm still loking for a name.
I'm totally stuck on this part. It's the hardest part of character creation IMHO.
he doesn't work exculsively at night, his costume is white/black. His inspiration is huntress (a combonation of DCAU and Birds of Prey.) I want his name to represent his feeling towards WHY he is fighting crime.
Any ideas <.< -
-
I'm prety much settled on MA/SR just becuase it's less deadly :P.
he doesn't actually use martial arts, it's just him fighting that happens to look that way.
his powers are basically spiderman w/o the webs, sticking to walls or spider snese. Though his reaction time to noises and sights and such is quick enough that he can dodge bullets, just not as effectively as spiderman.
still debating on invisibility though
all I need to work on are his costume (right now it's basically Clark Kents from Smallville, or Huntress from Birds of prey) may stick with his current
and his name. right now it's twilight huntsman but I'm trying to think of something w/o the night reference, but for now it's twilight huntsman.
EDIT: okay got the classic costume done. basically just dark grey and black angel pattern with a a mask....got sudden burst if inspiration from the classic comic book huntress :P
that just leaves a better name -
okay aside from a couple minor things (like whether or not he can turn invisible, leaning toward yes but not sure)
Jason is a mutant, his abilities are Enhanced reflexes, Strength, endurance etc. He jump extremely high, pick up more wieght, run faster than a normal human at peak effeciency, he is alos slightly smarter.
A friend of Jasons, Jerry, get involved with some bad people and owes them money. Jerry asks Jason, unaware of his abilities, to go as backup.
During the "meeting" Jerry is shot and passes out. Jason manages to knock out the thugs and get Jerry to a hospital. Over the next few weeks Jason begins to notice crime more than he used to. Things that he might have ignored now caught his attention. A drug deal here, a mugging there. Finally he decides enough is enough.
taking the name <blank> (need a new one now) he uses his powers to help stop crime in paragon city.
hows that sounds? -
Quote:great advice thanksWell, I think you may want to break down your 'edgy scrapper' type idea into what it is you want exactly. I mean, you make it seem like you want this to be a hero though the 'noble criminal' tag sorta indicates a villainous streak a la Han Solo though, I don't think that's what you particularly mean.
You indicate you want a 'light edge' to the character. Now, to motivate someone to risk thier lives in persuit of justice... it sorta has to be soemthing pretty memorable, not necessarily a huge event like the death of a family member but something important to the character.
"I remember the look on my sister's face when they came. I'll admit it... I wasn't always a good guy. I... sold drugs. Its not my brightest time in my life but... I needed money, ya know? Anyway, I'd tried to get out and I remember what my bosses did to send a message. I came home late one Wednesday and I found lil' sis crying over her puppy. Dad had gotten it for christmas and... There was so much blood. I'll never forget what they did to that innocent dog, what I did to it. I swore to my sis I'd make them pay for what they did. I did and I will make sure no other little sisters in this city have to go through what she did."
Now, my recommendation for playing the 'edgey yet happy' hero is to read up on some Spiderman. He's (What I'm assuming best fits your idea of a edgey yet great guy) probably the best example of one I can think of. Look over what you like about that archetype and pick and choose what you think your character should act like. If it works for ya, it works. If not... I dunno. That's what I do. The biggest thing you wanna remember is you need to give him a trouble of some kind. He's not a hero because he's naturally a great example of humanity. He has to struggle with it to be a hero. Least, that's what I think makes the archetype so great.
Spiderman is actually exactly who I had in mind when I decided to do this character -

okay I'm a bit bored with my typical "noble hero" hero" archetypes I usually play (Jedi, Paladin, superman-esque tanker etc.) and I want to try the other side, the "noble criminal" (Smuggler, Rogue, Batman-esque scrapper) but since it's the opposite of what I usually play I'm a little stuck.
I know some things about the character
superhero name is Acies=latin for edge (or Vesica=latin for blade) unless I get a beter suggestion
He is either science or mutant origin
and his powers are Dual-Wield (daggers) or Martial Art (no training he just fight and it happens to look that way)/Super reflexes
might be able to turn invisible (Still debating)
I'm leaning toward black/white for his costume, mostly tights, something that I can imagine him wearing under clothing.
His name is Jason Alexander
He is a college Student (23 y/o)
my biggest problems tend to lie in why does he use daggers and why does he fight crime
I was leaning towards this story
Jason is a mutant, always known he was one but never used them for anything was shopping and was in a novelty shop. After a few minutes a couple of thugs bust in start robbing the place. Jason grabs a plastic bag and a couple of prop daggers and scared the thugs off. The store manager gave Jason the daggers as a thank you (alternativley he just gives the thieves a good thrashing)
Realizing that he seemed to be rather good at this Jason dons a costume and begins fighting crime.
it sound okay to me but it seems to missing that element of tragedy, something I can't seem to come up with. I don't want the character scarred, but I'm not sure if I want to do a typical "my parents were killed and now I fight crime" story (I could handle it but that might be TO MUCH tragedy)
so any idead? Opinions? etc.
I should note that although he is a "noble criminal" he is a happy guy, he listens to Owl city, he doesn't have a lot of friends, but he isn't really depressed. he taunts his enemies is combat to distract them. He is not moody or emo -
okay this group caught my interest on the SG search, but there is no way to contact them listed. Anyone know who heads up this group?

Quote:is it sad I actually tried that name before I asked <.<All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Flea, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in JGHopkins. He piled upon the wolfs white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot hearts shell upon it.
I never claimed to be creative. -
Quote:yeah that's kind of my dilemmma, ya see, those are all taken, as are most similar names. If I hadn't thought to pretty much exhaust that, as well as in latin, I wouldn't have askedHere's a few ideas: Night Hunter! Midnight Hunter! Dead of Night! Dark Hunter!
Trying using www.thesaurus.com and see what you can come up with. G'luck finding a name. -
-
oh I guess that would make sense :P
Twilight Huntsman -
just transfered him here from virtue and his name is taken :P
I can take the white wolf off, so what would you call him with or without the wolf. -
been awhile since I had work of Volt done...
have at'im. Reference shot is below. -
don't know yet. that one girl made a comment that made me think there was a connection.
-
really good, I have a feeling there is a connection between the blond twit and the black clad blonde, and the two red heads
