  1. As of right now, Best Buy does not list COV as a sale item. The link from the preorder email goes to their homepage and a search does not return COV.

    (PS: Sent a PM to CuppaJo, but thought other posters might want to know this. I know I WANT that helmet... but dang, I already bought my copy from EB Games! Well... I'll just have to buy one as a gift for someone once Best Buy gets their act together)
  2. Keeping it simple with one question, the one that burns in my heart....

    When will we see a Inter-server character transfer tool?

    States has mentioned it in the past as being under consideration and/or in development. I desperately want to see this... (Even if you charge a fee for its use).

    I got a question...

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootise Roll pop?



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Three (and if you get that joke, you're old).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Lick. One.

    Lick. Two.

    Kee-runch! Three.

    Yeah, I'm old.
  4. Another route to take... if you have his personality in mind, think about who his role models would be.

    Who does he respect? Despise? Long to meet and spend time with?

    If he could spend an hour any one person... living or dead, who would it be? A lost relative, a figure of history, a religious icon. What makes him tick?

    What would truly make him angry? Sad?

    Does he need people to be happy, or is he content in his own company? What likes/dislikes/character quirks/fears?

    Is he a boxers or briefs man?

    I'm weird... this is the kind of thing that works for me.

    I did say one other thing - that dropped Enhancements are useful only for what you can sell them for - because everyone purchases their Enhancements at the store (or at least most of them).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ditto. I always share... My SG is very good about it, we save things up for one another.

    And for those levels where enhancements that are in the green range are NOT for sale, those drops are priceless.


    Not true, I often slot enhancements I have gotten from a drop. I would rather run lots of missions and spend time playing the game than shopping and making sure my enh are always green.

    I also give away SO's to people on my team who are the same origin all the time .

    The WAR ((OOC))

    Whitmoore NPCs (Created by me, open for use as needed)

    Dr. Alan Brentwood; Chief of ICU Paragon Medical Center
    5'10 190 lbs salt-n-pepper hair, brown eyes, 64 years old.
    A concientious physicial with Specialties in Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and to a lesser extent Meta Medicine (such a growing field, you know). A true professional, he maintains doctor-patient confidentiality and provides the best care possible. (He is a longtime friend of Dr. Helen Markov/Steele Magnolia and her deceased parents.)

    RN Thomas Candless; night shift nurse at Paragon Medical Center
    6'0" 165 lbs, light brown hair, brown eyes, 29 years old
    He is a very sympathetic nurse, lightening his patients' spirits with compassion blended with humor. (Another friend of Dr. Markov's, they met through her work at the hospital and have known one another for 5 years.)

    Stephen Jacobs, Attorney at Law
    Description never given, late 40s
    His specialty is patent and business law, though will help in other ways in a pinch, if only to recommend another lawyer. Quite frugal, practical, and somewhat penny pinching. He does not do probono work, but is worth every penny.

    Rabbi Saul Herschmann
    5'8" bald, brown eyes, 82 year old
    A prominent figure in Israeli affairs, one time Ambassador to the United States, practicing Rabbi of the Temple Mount. Now temporarily residing in Founders Falls as Simone St. Croix's legal guardian. A very compassionate, wise, politically astute, and resolute man, easily underestimated as an old dodderer.

    RN Iris Cratchett
    Night Shift Head Nurse, Steel Canyon ICU
    Competent, cranky, despises disorder, noise and bother. Not much of a bedside manner, and has a long-running feud with some of the other staff members. A real harridan, she keeps her position by the expedient of being excellent at it, despite numerous patient family member complaints.

    (If I think of any more I've created, I'll post them. These are open for use, within reason)

    The WAR ((OOC))

    Apartment: 712

    Name: SSgt Pandora Two-Bear Jenkins AKA Sgt Pandora
    Storyteller: Steele Magnolia
    Current Location: Floundering and Flirting in the Flagg apartment

    Powerset: Radiation/Radiation Defender with Fitness and Flight

    Description: 5'8" 145lbs dark gold blonde hair, slanted blue eyes, coppery skin, rather full-figured but not truly fat, with notable muscle (if in the right clothing) from free weight workouts, 25 years old. Her mixed Navajo, Vietnamese, French, and German heritage gives her a rather noteworthy appearance.

    Pandora is one of three children, all of whom are active or latent mutants, all named from Greek Mythology (the others are Cassandra and Prometheus). Her manifesting of abilities wasn't truly a surprise. When wounded in combat in Iraq, her abilities manifested, and she was able to use them to save the day, but found herself transferred to the military's Paragon City Joint Service Detachment (where they actually send the metas for Metaforces). Her unit commander, acting on the request of the Team Leader who was concerned over her apparent lack of real combat skill, gender, and newness of her abilities, sent her off to play cop with the FBSA until she hits SL 30 and won't get either herself or the Team killed.

    The WAR ((OOC))

    Apartment: None, but frequently found on the 4th floor in Jack Stryker's Apt or on the 11th in the Flagg Apt, occasionally on the 12th in the Markov-Clemmons Apt... Heck, she could be anywhere in the Whitmoore.

    Name: Simone St. Croix AKA Simon-Says
    Storyteller: Steele Magnolia
    Location: Arguing with her boyfriend over IP

    Powerset: Mutation Mind/Kinetics Controller with Leadership and Flight (used to have teleports)

    Description: 5'9" 120lbs black hair, blue eyes, pale skin, innocent expression, guileless demeanor, emotionally immature, 17 years old, and a little-bit-pregnant. Simon's mental abilities are extremely powerful with a cost - her control is surgically precise in weilding them, but she can never turn them completely off. As a result, she has struggled with madness in the past, is manic-depressive, and has more personality aspects than Sybill (currently under control). Jack-Stryker AKA Straight-Jacket is her boyfriend, but it's a matter of debate whether that is a good thing. The recent death of her father has left her restless and adrift, save for the guiding efforts of the friend he asked to look after her, the elderly Rabbi Herschmann.

    The WAR ((OOC))

    (OOC: David is moving into Helen's apartment... which will now actually consist of apartments 1230 and 1232. The construction will be done in a couple of days. Addendum to Steele's since it's too late to edit - she's a Technology Automatic Rifle/Devices Blaster.)

    Apartment: 1230 (but frequently found in the Flagg apartment)
    Name: Michael Helsinger AKA Michael Flagg AKA 2020 Vision
    Storyteller: Steele Magnolia
    Location: Whitmoore Environs
    Powerset: Mutation Martial Arts/Invulnerability Scrapper
    Description: Male Caucasian 6'0" 225lbs black hair, green eyes. Only 15 years old, the not-yet-born child of David and Helen Clemmons, Michael is easily mistaken for being several years older, the result of his mutant genetics, dietary and pharmaceutical muscle enhancers, and a childhood of extreme training to beome one of the Council's elite officer corps. Seeing no other means of escape, his mother sent him back in time. If he lives long enough, he intends to become a serious force with which to contend, and ultimately stop the Council's goal of world domination.

    Also in apartment 1230:

    Shaft AKA The Pouncer of Toes and Anything Moving
    Description: - Male black domestic shorthair kitten, gets into everything, and has a mad-on for anything of David's. He thinks he's the man of the house (soon the big pink one will learn his place).

    Ms Kittie AKA Pet me NOW!
    Description: female Persian mix white kitten, very shy and easily scared. She adores David, which confuses Shaft to no end.

    The WAR ((OOC))

    Apartment: 1230
    Name: Dr. Helen Markov AKA Steele Magnolia
    Current Location: Whitmoore environs
    Storyteller: Steele Magnolia
    Description: 32 yrs, 5'7", caucasian, auburn skin, hazel green eyes
    Summary: Beneath the jade green suit of armor and without her weapons, Helen is in most ways a normal person, save for an extraordinarily high IQ and twelve years of post-secondary education testing the limits of her ability to learn. The decision to become a hero was motivated by the deaths of her parents, which she believes to have been the result of an ongoing feud with Crey Industries. Since moving to the Whitmoore, her hero identity has been outed, she's engaged to marry fellow hero Sol-Ar, and become a mother (without those tedious nine months of pregnancy and thousands of diaper changes). Helen has a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, and is rather reserved in her demeanor. Her costume consists of head-to-toe green jadenium metal armor with small silver and black fittings of other metals, and a really big franken-gun.

    Helsinger couldn't have devised a better way to torment Helen, and exact his revenge upon Michael and her both.

    Tick showed what calibre of hero he was.... RIP Tick. We'll miss you.

    Hm... I know what those fragments of jadenium are going to do to him. Anyone have an operating theatre handy? Nasty, very, very nasty.
  20. Steele_Magnolia

    The New Empire

    AGH! She loses both her sons? Michael and Larry? Sweet heaven, I'm feeling guilty again about what I've (you've) done to her, and I haven't felt that way since January when I concluded the first Helsinger SL on Whitmoore.

    Oh yeah, you've nailed Helsinger. And the heroes too. I second the above "DAMN" and append "SKIPPY!" to it.
  21. Steele_Magnolia

    The New Empire

    The scene with Helsinger and Larry makes me shudder.

    Wolffe's and Neem's resolution was very poignant, and Helen's words to Michael were very true, insightful, and something she's struggled with as well in the Whitmoore. How do you do that?!?! I spend paragraphs trying to get there and you wrap it up in one sentence. (Can I steal that quote?)
  22. Steele_Magnolia

    The New Empire

    OOC: I'm really sorry to hear that, Wolffe. I hope things improve for you. Puppies are family.

    We'll be here when you're ready, and try to hold on until then.
  23. Steele Magnolia - "Green.... the color of my alloy, jadenium."

    Simon-Says - "Pink! I love pink! Lots of pink!"

    Sgt Pandora - "Air Force blue, through and through."

    2020 Vision - "Brown." (a man of few words)

    Ironically, all of them have at least one outfit that makes primary use of their favorite color.
