Hopefully, I'd like to see alternate animations for all the powers.

Some ideas right now:

some kicks in the non-martial melees so someone can do a flashy martial-artist that uses some sort of technique that creates fire or lightning or the like. Currently, most of the non-MA martials are really good punch sets already, (which I like) but one or two kicks thrown in would be great. (targeted: fire, energy, electrical, dark)

more alternate weapons for earth, fire and ice (fire katana! ice axe! earth greatsword!) and don't say a greatsword doesn't deal smashing...a great frigging piece of rock shaped like a sword will probably smash more than slash

alternate animations for theme-heavy powers (the tentacles and skulls of dark mainly, I don't mind them for most of my characters, but for some...yeeeah)

ability to customize Ancillaries and Pools

A long time ago, I suggested a similar idea, a pair of alternate skinned powersets (similar to Katana and Broadsword) for Staff and Spear

Mine was more based around Asian staff/spear arts, which are somewhat similar (at least those spears with a simple point)

I think my 9th tier was a heavy-damage single-target self-teleport described a sort of pole vault into an enemy.

....just that, simply put, just that.

Please stop making my souvenirs vanish into the wind.

The realism makes it a more versatile tool and ADDS utility to the effect. Of course, added options does mean an increased learning curve. But now, with the same power, you can, with careful aiming, through everyone away, blow everyone toward you, blow everyone to the right, blow everyone to the left.

Used appropriately it becomes a much more useful tool with a lot more utility.

It would make my delivery blaster much more interesting to play.

But it's not a matter of utility vs realism, it IS a matter of practicality, which I recognize and accept this probably wouldn't happen, but still, I'd love if this were to happen.

Are there any pictures we can see somewhere as to what the demons look like?

I also can't get around being a villain for several reasons.

I know why some people think that villains and anti-heroes are "cool". It is because they perceive these people as breaking the rules and acting independently of society and the like.

Of course, in reality, while they are reacting negatively to the outside influences, they are still being driven by those outside influences. They're letting themselves be controlled by something other than themselves. There are very, very few villains that are acting out of Free Will.

Darth Vader is reacting to a desire to never be powerless again, his one major act of Free Will was shortly before his death.

Lex Luthor is reacting to the fact that Superman is more popular than he is.

Sauron is a slave to his own pride and fear of final destruction.

Most versions of the Joker are driven by a mental defect that makes it impossible for him to relate to people.

And so on.

Heroes, by contrast, look like they're bending to the will of society in general. However, the bounds of society exist for a reason. If you sit down analyze and consider your actions for their overall benefit, most of the time, you will find that the manner in which accepted society wants you to behave is the most efficient and effective way to behave. However, since loads of other people are taking the same action merely because "that's what you're suppposed to do" it tends to bury the people that are making the actions out of Will rather than expectation.

It's one of those cases where it is rather hard to tell whether someone is acting out of Will or not because so often the choice of Will mirrors the choice of Expectation (someone acted out of Will in the past to lead society that way, however).

It is very easy to do the selfish thing, the thing that benefits just you and only for the short term. It is very hard to do the right thing all the time.

Villainy is sort of like driving the wrong way down the highway for no better reason than because you were told not to. They're the ultimate victims of reverse psychology. And, eventually, their petulant attitude will catch up with them.

Personally, playing someone that is doomed to be caught in a metaphorical and spiritual head on collision is not my idea of fun.

So, I'm playing tank and have a day job power, frag grenades. I toss the grenade out to the furthest enemy I can see expecting the baddies to get knocked too me because I'm thinking real physics rather than what I've seen as an energy delivery blaster and an AR sniper.

To my brief surprise, followed by sudden realization and irritation, the baddies suddenly start flying BACKWARDS towards the place I threw the grenade. And suddenly I'm thinking I got one of those implosion grenades from Warehouse 13.

Which brings me to my suggestion: Is there anyway to make the KB of a targetted AoE consider the target as the source of the KB rather than the player?

I am also a writer with a tendency to purchase art rather than making it myself.

But I'll encourage you in this. I don't think static stories are the right place for the RP forums, but I'm sure there's somewhere to post them, at the very least you could post a link to your DA submissions on this thread.

in response, here's something I put together JUST before Ninja Run came out. It pretty much shows the same speed she gets now with Ninja Run even if it lacks the cool graphics.

if I can recover it from one of the dead computers, this might mean there's hope for my LL Cool J vid with my wereshark.

Nice vid btw, favoriting now.
