Now that i've settled into my humble new abode can start relaxing and enjoying having place to myself. Although to fight off boredom I was sitting here thinking up a new toon since I have two spots left on Triumph and was wondering if anybody would be interested in some sort of static theme team where we'd meet once a week for like 3 hours and just team and have fun do some TFs here and there.
So guess what i'm trying to say is, anybody interested in this? What days/times you available? Any ideas for themes, I have a few (Golden Age, Monsters/Misfits, Various Element themes)?
I work early so i'm free pretty much all afternoon to early evening, once I get a schedule for new job i'll know what two days I have off and the nights beforehand can stay up till whenever. But just getting a feel for if people are down for this before I go trying to organize it! -
I live! FIOS all hooked up and it's fantastic! Got all my furniture built and pictures/posters hung up. Just need to start my new job next week, and massive life changes will be complete.
-
No i'm not leaving, that'd be depressing enough with the wave that has come already. In fact it's quite the opposite it's good news! I'm moving into my own place over the next couple days and won't have my FIOS hooked up until sometime on Saturday. So don't go burning down the server before I get back sometime this weekend! See everyone soon! =D

Been here over four years, think that makes me an old timer. If not guess i'm just middle-aged and crazy. Either way...
Welcome back Az! =D -
I still need the badge if you really want another Empath to join, i'll bring Magenta Bolt (Emp/Elec). If ya don't I understand.

Hey sweet =)
My handle is @Magenta Bolt -
22 years ago something amazing happened, and that something was you baby. Everyday i'm thankful for having you in my life and can't wait to share that feeling for the rest of eternity. Hope you have a fantastic day full of ice cream cake and presents, that is after you get home from class (bleh)! Love you so much, Happy Birthday! =D <3

Through this together in an hour after Kay yelled at me to make something =P
This is for Abscond my Claws/DA Scrapper.
As the moonlight pierces through the barred window of the asylum we see a young girl lost in thoughts rocking back and forth in the corner. Her eyes momentarily closed, now open to reveal a white emptiness that glows in the darkened padded cell. For it was on this night that her true powers would come to surface and this cruel fate would be her own. Let's turn back the hands of time to earlier this day and see how such a terrible fate could be bestowed upon a child.
A young girl sits in her room playfully moving dolls along her bed lost in her own fantasy world of imagination. Suddenly, a wrapping at the front door and a shriek is heard. The girl knows this won't be well, then again she's clever enough to realize this isn't out of the ordinary either. Her mother had gotten a divorce several months ago because her husband was getting aggressive with her. Weekly occurrences of her father "dropping by" would never end well, normally with a trip to the hospital or a lengthy talk with police. This night however is where it crossed the line, as her father quickly bore into her room in a fervor. Blood trickled from his face and onto the carpet by the door, a sick look in his eye. He quickly came to the girl and took the doll from her hand and sat down on her bed.
"Molly, I don't expect you to understand why I've always done the things I've done, but the only thing I ever wanted was your love."
These words meant nothing to Molly after those soulless terrible years. Years of physical and sexual abuse by her father were enough to crack even the most willpower-stricken psyches. Molly stood up and started to head for the door, fearing the worst for her mother. Her father had other plans and grabbed her by the leg and tossed her onto the bed. He raised a hand high and smacked her across the face leaving a large bruise below her eye. As her father jumped on top of the bed Molly turned and looked outside at the window. Seeing some sort of reflection through the glass, but not of herself. Some sort of bewildering creature with fierce white smoky eyes starred back. In a blast of smoke and darkness Molly transformed into a magnificent beast, finally free from her mind and in physical form. An eight foot high rabbit creature with long stiletto boots with spikes and a pointy wizard like hat. Her father figuring he was still drunk just swung at the creature with his fist babbling to himself. The creature burst forth massive blades from its arms and sliced the man nearly in two as blood cascaded her fur.
"Never again shall we let you be harmed, such innocence shall never suffer another day."
Molly awoke moments later in the back of an ambulance, both her parents now dead, one by her own hands. She broke down began crying and shouting about the creature she'd become. She tried to flee the ambulance and seeing her reflection in the back window as a creature started thrashing wildly. The paramedics subdued her and she was taken to the psychiatric wing. The doctors dismissed her wild notions of these creatures and how somehow she was this beast she claimed. With her sanity in question the police came to the conclusion that she had committed the murder of her parents and was unstable with paranoid delusions and schizophrenia. They took her to Rhode Island Psychiatric Care Facility where she would remain for 3 years. Three long years fearing what she would become, wildly without her knowing if she'd transform again and what she would do. She rocked back and forth with that glow in her eyes, never knowing what might come next.
After much counseling at the Facility and a new mentor in a psychic named Numina, they were able to determine her illness was not simply a state of mental illness, but an unlocking of extraordinary abilities. This came at a price however, because of such intense trauma as a child her brain began to develop personalities that she would hide into and talk to, her friends and family if you will. These personalities grew to take on traits of her feelings, sadness, anger, happiness, confusion, and so on. These emotions took physical form as magnificent creatures, crazy animal beings, and twisted visions of an imagination gone wild. As Numina took her into training and allowing her the full witness of her powers, trying to control when her emotions would get too high, but every time she would revert back to herself, she had no memory of what her personalities would do. With her signed permission Numina gave her free reign back into the world and invited her along to Paragon City where she could also watch over the girl. Where in a world where so much hate and abuse goes on, that a girl that had lived through it even if it nearly destroyed her mind and body, this girl could help fight for those like she once was. -
Yeah, like the title says! Facebook finally good for something, I saw it's your birthday!
Happy Birthday PoS! Sorry you had to work! =P -
Sorry guys, I might hafta actually skip out of this team now. Due to being promoted at work, they moved me to another store, which means i'm working many more hours than I should be trying to get this place back on track. Also means i'll be working every Sunday, i'll deffinetly still keep my character cause i've grown to enjoy the concept, and keep earning that prestige for your SG and maybe i'll cya guys here and there, but haven't had much time for anything lately besides working and sleeping =( Hafta head to bed about now cause working 2 am tomorrow while girl is on vacation, it's gonna be a rough couple weeks. Hope you guys keep at it though, really fun group with great toons =)
-
That'd be awesome, i'm off next two days then actually start a new schedule at work so i'll be able to stay up later than I normally would, which is great. I'll get up to 10 before next week then!
-
Sorry missed out on the first night, my girlfriend was visiting from Nebraska thought I mentioned that in my original post but guess it slipped my mind, just lemme know what level you guys got around and i'll do some sewers or something to be ready for next week. =)
-
They never really add anything to the experience of the movie anyway, I mean Avatar really looked fancy but it didn't help the god awful script and cast. I'm all for keeping 3D away from movies and games, really frightened at E3 next week their gonna be 3D crazy! >.<

This is my guy, Grave Minder, in his normal attire then his super attire. Can't wait for this team, should be tons of fun. I'll need an invite to an SG as all my toons on Triumph this is my first toon on another server. =P
Also here's his bio:
Harrison Colyte started his private eye business back in 1951 in Paragon. After years of sword training in Asia and a keen intuition he knew he had what it took to live in a city with a reputation for crime and evil. A cinema lover he grew up on the classics of the genre like Humphrey Bogart and knew well the reviews of Nino, the Maltese Falcon being a personal favorite of his. During one such case a young woman tasked Harrison to find a missing jeweled bracelet from her family and through his investigation he found it was a relic of the Circle of Thorns and they wanted it badly for a ritual. Harrison was able to cut his way through some mages and retrieved the jewel, and afterwards grew quite fond of this woman. Unfortunately payback was terrible and she was killed as revenge by the mystics. Vowing on her tombstone that no other innocents shall fall while he was watching these graves. He became the Grave Minder and tends to the wicked in Paragon City by any means necessary. Swift, Brutal, Cunning, Justice! -
If i'm awake enough I got a Dark Def at 26 i'd like to bring along, if i'm not on by 7 it's cause I fell asleep =P
-
lol, nice. Not as big a turnout as the first CCs, but there were some really awesome magic ones, you'll get one of these yet 3Mile! =P

Hey there Triumph, as most know since i'm pretty adamant about how I like to play the game and can't stand stealthing through things and needing a constant instant gratification. Hanging out during a TF, chatting, getting XP. I thought it was a much smaller minority then I thought at first, but after a team today I had 9 people already that loved the idea and wanted me to the make the channel.
So if you'd like an invite to Triumph Bulldozers a channel to form up TFs and just normal missions, where you know you won't be ghosting and speeding through things, we'll come along and do story arcs you wanna do or anything really, as long as we're killing stuff!
Before I start getting yelled at for my stupid point of view on what I find fun in this game, and how i'm apparently hating on everybody that doesn't think like me, believe me it's ok if you speed TFs and such. Everybody has a different deffinition of fun and what they do in game that entertains them, so I know there's a lot of people that want no part of this channel and will make fun and talk about how self righteous we are or something. But that's ok, because I love you guys still =D I'm just looking to easily find people that want to do TFs the way I like to do them, which on TW sometimes is like pulling teeth.
So gimmie a yell if ya want an invite! -
Haha, was wondering if it was going to be that weekend. Unfortunately myself and Kay couldn't make it. Besides it being past my normal bedtime for work the next morning at 2 am, she'll be down here in Texas visiting me and without a computer of her own. =D
-
Kay's been working on our little kids for a while now, they're up to 40 now, think i'll bring mine, not 100% on Kay's toon for these.

We did an all Kheld ITF a while back and it was pretty much disaster, 2nd mission murdered us a lot. Was still a lot of fun hitting the debt cap, and i'd come along for this with my WS =P
-
Hey I got 2nd place for Mr. Paragon for Triumph that really stung, glad I won this one =P Were a lot of awesome costumes that night, both dudes and ladies.

Some thoughts from the mind of Magenta Bolt...here comes some RP, haven't done this in a while...
What defines a hero?
A hero has many definitions to many people, but they all have one thing in common they inspire others to be better people. Whether it's a single Mom raising her child and supporting them nonstop no matter how busy or broke, or a Volunteer Fireman crawling into a burning house to pull out a kitten, to a man in tights stopping bank robberies. If it makes you want to be a better person hearing about their actions, that person is a true hero.
What beliefs do you hold dear that makes you a hero?
Putting yourself out of the equation. Always thinking of others and wanting to stop at nothing to keep them from warm and sorrow even at the expensive our my own feelings and physical well being.
To what lengths would they go to uphold those beliefs?
As far as making the ultimate sacrifice to save the life of a stranger. In the face of overwhelming odds, to stand up and be able to smile in the face of death and make a sarcastic comment at his behalf.
What price would make them set aside their values?
Nothing short of kidnapping and torturing my daughter Holly would keep me from my values and what being a hero means to me. And even if they would, it would be serious hell once I have her returned to me.
Would they stand by those convictions, even if it were against public opinion?
Even if the public outcry would be against me, and the law put in my way if I know something is right I will commit to it. Even if it pits me against friends, or working on the opposite side of the law.
Would they put their friends and loved ones above those of the public at large?
Only my precious daughter Holly would I put above any others, which is admittedly selfish of me. It's hard to choose between strangers and your own daughter given a life threatening situation, but as a single mother I need to watch out for her.
What lines will they not cross?
Even in blind fury of such spiteful acts toward humankind, I would never bring myself to actually murder another. Not to say I wouldn't beat them within an inch of their life, but with my powers I could keep them alive enough to survive. Sounds a bit cruel, but sometimes a little punishment is the only thing the scum of this city understands.
Would they take a life?
Never
Would they sacrifice their own life for what they believe in?
Another quandry, as I would hate to leave Holly behind as she has no one else to take care of, but it's about the greater good and being a true hero. It would be a heartbeat desicion when the time would come, but my feelings tell me I could do anything if nessecary to keep the public from peril.
Would they give up being a hero?
Seeing as how I didn't really want to become one to begin with I could see myself going back to my old life. It would be hard after being a hero to leave this life, touching so many citizens, and gaining such respect and admiration of the youth. But to finally be able to have a normal life, it would be nice.
...and scene.
Was actually pretty fun trying to get into the head of your alternate persona, as it were. I'm interested to see what kind of responses others have through the eyes of their toons, and where this information is going toward. :P
