Sorry about the above post sometimes my messages dont send, anyway it seems I cant send anything right now so Part two coming soon?!

Testing...

Part one.
The return :Present times.

She hated this, trapped in an Arachnos flyer as weapons fire from Paragon hit its hull, not that a direct hit would kill her but she didn’t like the idea of having lots of shrapnel and the like imbedded in her body, it was bad enough she had to wear this damn face mask till the skin on that side of her face regrew, that wound was taking some healing. It was probably due to the depth of damage it had caused, it didn’t matter though she survived, she had taken one of those heroes with her, they had not been so lucky, however, that fool, that one who called himself Justice For All, that pretentious little insect, he would be made to beg for mercy for his disruption of her plans, she had everything she had wanted and some one dared to spoil her dream. He would be made to suffer over and over before she finally let him have the luxury of death, that could wait though, there was time for such pleasures later. Things were again back to square one, almost. She had planned just in case of something like this the moment the UN had started making a stink about her island, yes she had been thoughtful she had learned the hard way never do anything without a backup plan or two. She smiled to herself, a new beginning this time she would not fail, no she had merely been slowed down not stopped. Of course not stopped, she laughed to herself, she could not be stopped no matter how hard people tried to kill her she was still here and they were all dead. A while later she felt the flyer coming in for a landing and sighed, she had got dressed in a compartment in the back of the flyer, no one had dared to take a sneaky peek or protest, they seemed to sense her power, true their were others of power on the flyer but none with a reputation such as hers. She shoved her way to the front of the line waiting to get out of the door as it opened, she heard one of the Arachnos soldiers say something about the doors being kept shut to stop prisoners jumping out and trying to escape Arachnos trials. She smiled at this, some feared the spiders, she did not she had made a little arrangement with them, she knew how to treat the spiders and they in turn knew of her. She walked through the door of the flyer and into the landing area of fort Darwin, she smiled, what a interesting name, how like Recluse.

As she walked across the landing pad she saw a woman, this would be the Kalinda woman she was told she would meet by the soldier who had escorted her onto the flyer on the way here. She smiled, time to have a little play with this one. She nodded politely, “Greetings Kalinda, how are you my dear?
Kalinda sighed and said in an annoyed voice, “I am here to tell you that you are one of the destined ones, not to be some kind of second mother to you”.
Contessa smiled darkly, “Oh, do forgive me, so a destined one, is that my dear recluses next plan, my my that is awfully pretentious”.
She smirked seeing the two Arachnos soldiers behind her lifting there weapons Contessa went on, “Never the less I shall prove myself to him and to you, by the by tell your monkeys to stand down or I may have to arrange an attitude adjustment for them”.
This was a game to Contessa, she had been in similar situations before and always came out on top, this time would be no different, the truly strong such as her could never be stopped merely slowed down. Her plans had simply been set back, this was to be her next rise to power this time there would be no mistakes. Kalinda nodded to the soldiers who both reluctantly lowered their weapons, Contessa turned her attention back to Kalinda, “So my dear, what is to be my first task?
Kalinda was getting annoyed with this one, the typical egotistical [censored] she usually got off new comer villains, this one was not as important as she though, just like all of them really. Kalinda snorted in contempt, “Same as any new so called villain, Snake control, they have taken over some sewers nearby, evict them, then return to me, if you survive”. She went on in a darker mocking tone, “Oh and by the way my dear, don’t expect any great privileges I know what you once had and you failed, so don’t expect to be treated with kid gloves”.
She sometimes loved putting the ego bursting boot in. Contessa smiled showing her rows of sharp teeth and said with low menace creeping into her voice, “I would expect nothing, I shall prove myself and you shall be humbled by my power”. With that she snatched the PDA Kalinda was holding from her hand and looked at the location of the snake base, “Right, I shall see to it”.
Then she made her way out of Fort Darwin with Kalinda and the two soldiers watching her leave. Kalinda turned to the soldiers, “have a huntsman send a squad to soften her up when she comes out of the snake base, lets see how strong she really is”.

Contessa found the ripped open manhole, this would be the entrance to the snake pit then, no guards that was stupid though they probably assumed no one knew they were here yet. She smiled, the assumed wrong, she pulled a pulse carbine off her back, ah she had missed the hunt. She jumped though the manhole hovering down to the floor with her weapon held ready, she shot the two guards in the back as they talked there snake like forms twitching and convulsing as they collapsed. They were indeed curious creatures, Contessa looked around listening and smelling as well as looking for others, she regretted sniffing the air almost instantly, sometimes having such a good sense of smell was a bad thing especially in a sewer. She moved on down the sewer tunnel keeping to the path at the side of the lake of slurry and waste, no wonder these snake creatures were looked on as little more than vermin who would willingly take over a place such as this? She checked her weapon again and smiled this was not going to take long at all.

She had taken down several snakes on her way here, it had been mostly disgusting sewer tunnels , up until now that was. The end of her journey lead off down a tunnel smashed into the side of the sewer wall, so they were not that keen on sewers after all, she could sense them in the tunnel not many, three at most. This was going to be quite an easy one, Kalinda had underestimated her, this was not even getting her adrenaline going, she rounded the corner into the tunnel slowly, it looked like a ordinary cave tunnel she stuck to the shadows using he shroud to keep her hidden. She didn‘t usually bother being so sly but she was not willing to waste too much time in dealing with these small fry, so stealth was faster. The tunnel only went on for a little and ended in a round shaped chamber with three Snakes in it, two were of the standard type she had been fighting but the third, well he was special. He bore the frilled head and red scales of a cobra, she smiled in the shadows, this might prove a little bit of a challenge after all. She dropped out of the shadows floating across the room in a second shooting the two guards before they had time to realise what was happening then she put the gun on her back as the Cobra spun to face her and he said in a hissy voice, “You are an Arachnos pet, I will kill you”.
Contessa smiled and stretched landing of the floor and facing the Snake, ”I am no pet fool“. She said arrogantly and then went on, “One of us will indeed die, that one is you though”.
With that she moved at lightning speed towards the snake and pulled a sword out of her belt cutting the Cobras head clean off in one swipe. She then licked the blood off her sword with her strange tentacle like tongue and turned on her heels and left, heading for the manhole cover, when she got there she took her time to have one last look around, there were things she hadn’t noticed before like a pile of human bones up a corner, she shrugged at this it was to be expected the snakes were primitive, also though there was some writing in some ancient language on the wall. Before she had time to look at this anymore though she could hear the approaching boot steps above and decided it was time to make her exit or have someone throw a grenade down here, she climbed out of the man hole, she knew what the approaching boots meant, some Arachnos had been sent to soften her up, she smiled, let them come she would be ready. Time to show them what happened to any who tried to challenge her, the snakes had just been a warm up, now the real game began.

She stood to her full height seeing the circle of seven Arachnos soldiers with their weapons pointed at her, she smirked, this was going to be fun. She spun around inhumanly fast kicking the rifles out of each soldiers hand and sending each of them sprawling backwards The first to stand back up pulled a mace out of his belt and charged at her shouting in rage, she lifted a foot up kicking the soldier in the chest plate and sending him flying backwards into a wall and he fell forwards hitting the floor hard and his emergency medical teleported activated and his body faded away. She saw a huntsman come around a corner and fire a grenade at her, she jumped into the air after scooping up an Arachnos rifle from the floor and she fired hitting the web grenade in the air and sending it back towards the huntsman where it exploded sticking him to the spot. She landed behind the Arachnos soldiers who had now stood up and two of them turned and ran at her lifting their maces she hit the mace out of one of their hands, he staggered back surprised by how fast he had been disarmed. Contessa looked at him and smiled mockingly then punched him around the face sending him spinning and smashing into the pavement and he teleported away. She ducked dodging the blow from the other attackers mace as she ducked down she picked up the dropped mace and hit the other attacker in the chin with bone smashing force sending him flying backwards where he was teleported out. She was enjoying this battle it was quite exhilarating, she grabbed two more attackers around the necks lifting them off the floor and smashing their heads together and flinging their unconscious forms in separate directions as they were teleported out. The huntsman couldn’t believe how fast this woman moved she had beaten his squad in the space of ten seconds he wasn’t playing anymore, he lifted his assault rifle and opened fire Contessa felt the bullets hit her but her flesh healed almost immediately, she ran at the Huntsman dodging his next barrage of bullets much to his surprise, when she reached him she kicked him in the lower chest with such force it shattered his armour before she continued her attack by punching him in the face shattering the front of his helmet and sending him sprawling on his back after smashing through some dustbins, he groaned semi conscious and then mediported away. That one had annoyed her now where was the other, ah there he was. The remaining soldier had decided that discretion was the best option and had started running. Contessa smiled the first smart move of any of the soldiers today, she pulled a throwing knife out of her belt and flung it into the soldiers back so hard it cracked his armour the hit sent him flying over a wall and into the dirty sea water below and she herd him mediport away. She picked her gun up off the floor and put it into her backpack, she then wiped her hands together like she was cleaning dirt off them she could have killed all the soldiers if she had wanted to, however she didn’t want to annoy Arachnos too much, inviting trouble at this stage would not be a wise idea. It annoyed her that she was again in someone else’s service but what could be done at the moment? She took a long look at the moon reflecting on the sea water over the nearby wall, thinking of the past for a while and how it always seemed to end up like this, she lit a cigarette thoughtfully and lit it and put it in a black cigarette holder and started smoking it before she started on her way back towards fort Darwin.

Kalinda watched Contessa approaching, so the mouthy one had proved herself, interesting maybe it was not all bluster after all. Contessa stopped in front of Kalinda and bowed mockingly, “Mission accomplished and tell your men they need to improve”.
Kalinda nodded and said in a business like voice, “You have done well, you have past the first tests, others will be coming, that was merely day one, now go, make yourself a hovel somewhere until I have something else for you”.
Contessa pondered this and nodded dismissively and walked away, some of her people were no doubt already here, yes the night was young now it was time to etch a little base on mercy. She had seen a building that suited, now she would remove its current occupants and make it her own. She flew up and away from Fort Darwin, leaving Kalinda behind, no doubt the woman was smiling under her mask thinking this amusing that she was making villains sleep in the dirt. Contessa landed on the roof of a building and got a communicator she had snatched off one of the Arachnos soldiers out of her pocket and changed its frequency, “Bloodline to cell five, report”.
After a few seconds she got a response, “Cell five reporting mistress, how can we serve?
“Report to me in mercy island by the old meat packing factory, it is time to establish a base”.
“Understood mistress we are on our way now”.
Contessa smiled pleased with herself, everything so far was going well, she would be careful though, she was out of her depth at the moment so would keep low to the floor let others take the heat for now, her time would come to emerge from the shadows once more.

((Sorry this part is so long, next one will be shorter))

Plus one of my ones could be a slight charecter witness too, just remembered one of mine have talked to him, plus saw him try to prevent a fight so could work.

Well I have one that could be part of the Jury, even though he may be a bit too heroic, assuming we want a nuetral jury members, I have another that will fit this though. So yep one here for jury duty.

Ill be in for the dash for sure looks fun.

Humm it does do that occasionally, with the char creator, thats not normal though just happens once in a while, are you sure its downloading the whole thing all over again? Sometimes when it crashes it will download something but it should say varyifing and checking not downloading it will look like its uploading the clinet but its not, give it a minute or two like this it shouldnt take longer than three minutes and you should be playing. If not i'm not sure but im sure someone will come up with the answer.

As for the sex change thing well, maybe, I mean what if your charecters an alien shape shifting assasin, or like in the terminator films, the last two at least someone or something that can mimic other people. It just gives everyone more scope for interesting concepts, as for shapeshifting as a whole im for that as I have a charecter that changes into two different monsters and she is female so it can work :P I would love to be able to alter their height and muscle mass so I agree with this suggestion jsut because it opens up a few more allyways of creation.

I'll be there tonight with Angel Maren, i'll try my best to make it anyway i'll try to be there for 7 maybe 7.30.

Ok heres a strange suggestion I'm not sure it would work, just throwing a few ideas about, how about a 6 th costume slot but not for costumes solely this is the PVP version of your toon slot, where there is a selection of PVP only powers and abilities. when you select this slot and it can be used at any time, no jumping through hoops, you are only aloud in PVP zones with it and the transport system within the zones only takes you to the PVP zones not outside of them, the external ones will still be there as is but the PVP only slot can't use them. Plus then we could have PVP only shops in the zones, or shops built into each sides bases where only the PVP slot can buy PVP only advancements and so on, I'm sure you can see where i'm going with this, it is as far as I can see one solution that I think will give everybody what they want and maybe attract some who dont normally like PVP to PVP maybe also a toggle to use your 6th slot as a normal costume slot if you really really dont like PVP.

I agree with Hatesman, the history of the COH world is similar to a point but then after and during world war two its all different, with the council attacking America etc and Nazi super Villains, not to mention the other events. then we have of course the Rikti and then theres Arachnos who are more the terrorists in COH, maybe its possible the military are not looked on half as badly as they are in our world.

I have one char that would fit with this group, plus I need some help getting my roleplay better, anyway the toons an AR/FIRE She a ex Rikti war nutter ex army Captain, anyway if im welcome, @cryella to give me a bell.

((This is my first attempt at something like this, so bare that in mind))

Entry one.

Sure As Sure.

I do have another name, but you can know me by the name Skull Maiden, it is a fitting title when you consider my ‘Career’ , more of that later. Anyway you may consider that a introduction to me, I am not likely to say much yet about myself, now let me tell you about Longbow and Ms Liberty, let me tell you why I hate them, it’s all quite simple but to give you something to read I shall draw it out a little”.

It was a dark night that night, there was no moon, that’s always a bad sign, some day the red moon is the bad one but amongst my people the moonless nights are said to be a portent of doom, it is strange and a little unnerving how accurate some legends are. Of course it’s no legend though, the truth of the events that followed proved that, it was not that long after I had formed my own gang, after helping the Skull’s along I was something of a leader to their pathetic little movement, I am partially responsible for their limited powers, no doubt there are new leaders now, they were warped what I wanted out of greed and trying to get rich in their own simple ways so I abandoned them. They were disappointments not worthy of my presence or my gifts, I tried to make them see the bigger things, my bigger plan, I suppose they were just too stupid in the end. Anyway the new gang I had formed The Bone Stealers were of a higher class of people and were a lot more successful, soon it was leading to where I wanted to go, down the route of power I don’t deny it as far as it could go, I am no fool though I knew the lines not to cross. Everything was under my control, a new partner had recently joined m gang after hearing about one of our magic museum robberies in which I gained quite a powerful Gem stone, he offered funding I was glad to accept it, I should have been more suspicious my mistake was ever trusting that smarmy bag of slime! I did though and let him get closer, to close to me, perhaps to close to my plans.

So back to that night, Longbow much to my surprise had requested my presence as they wanted to ask me some questions about certain things that might have concerned me, not wanted to cause myself trouble I decided to go along with their meeting, at a location of my own choosing though. I knew of just the place somewhere that held some magical significance, so I arranged the meeting as a old Native American burial ground on top of a large cliff that now overlooked a corn field. plus it gave me a good vantage point as I had told them to wait in the field, I took three of my trusted lieutenants with me and waited in the darkness for Longbow to arrive. They did, right on time a Longbow helicopter landed in the field and three Longbow personnel got out, they didn’t give their names and I didn’t ask, I was there to get this sorted out quickly not to get social, I had better things to do really but they would have only pestered me more and become more of an annoyance if I didn’t answer their questions there and then.

I made my presence known and stood up at the edge of the cliff so they could see me clearly and I asked what they wanted to talk to me about, the middle one of their group, one of their officers walked forwards and asked me about a certain magically charged crystal that had gone ’missing’ during a shipment. It was curious that they seemed so worried about it, I had indeed taken it but it was perfectly safe, I asked them about their fear and to my surprise they were quite transparent on the matter and the officer said. They feared how powerful it was it had apparently been building up power for years and there would be a point where it would detonate, what they did not add and I later found out was that detonation gave the survivors of its explosive end great powers. However at that time I took it for face value that the explosion was a bad thing, I asked them for proof of this potential explosion, my curiosity had gotten the best of me however and this had inadvertently given away that I knew the location of the crystal. I really would have seen it coming at any other time, I am quite known for being smarter than average, on this night though I was irritable, annoyed and a little unnerved by the lack of the moon and the other worldly presences of spirits I could feel all around me, In hindsight it was not so good a meeting place after all as some of the spirits seemed to be reacting to this news of a explosion. I told my lieutenants to be ready in case some of these spirits decided to show their selves, so the discussion went on. Now what follows is a little hazy, not that I didn’t know what happened I know alright, I know, so as the talks went on they were getting a lot more aggressive in their nature both parties were getting angry, like I said though I know damn well what happened.

There was some commotion behind me I turned to look, then something hit me, some kind of psychic wave, one of the Longbow agents evidentially had mind powers of some sort. I was dizzy and feeling sick, my vision was going blurred, I could make out the traitor coming towards me I felt him grab hold of me, then he said, “I have you now sure as sure”. Then I felt a hit to my chest he must have pushed me or kicked me away towards the cliff, at that time Longbow opened fire, they were shooting at me! I though was shoved backwards off the cliff I felt myself slip and bullets hit off my armour and I felt myself falling, strange it seemed to go so slowly, I remember thinking, damn it I’m going to die again. I hit the floor front first with a crunch my armour did well but the concussion of the fall broke many of my bones and I slowly blacked out the last thing I saw before waking up in the ‘Zig‘s‘ medical bay was the longbow soldiers running towards me to take me.

So there you go, that is why I hate Longbow they tried to kill me, if I had been weaker they would have, as for the traitor well he was obviously a Longbow spy, where else would he get the funds he had and know where to be to join me when he did. It’s all so obvious now. I though will have my revenge I will find him and the Longbow agents who were there, I will even take on Ms Liberty if I have to, the Orders to kill me had to have came from high up maybe from her! That is all for now, you know what you needed to know nothing more nothing less, my revenge on Longbow is coming.

((That's all folks comments welcome and im sorry it's so wordy in future I will lower the word count))

/signed twice, three times, four times, well if it takes me running around every area and globally advertising it! even if i get banned for life in doing it, I am doing it for the rleplayers's! Seriously though I would/ will help out if im told how.

“I am surprised you came”. Said the high class voice of a woman with a slight eastern European tinge to it, “I must say I was not really expecting you would”.
“I was hoping it would lead to something”. Said Alice speaking as she always had using her mind alone and not her mouth she however didn’t have an eastern European accent in her voice. Alice Sat down on a bench on the edge of the beach in Nerva, she was a pale girl with long black hair her eyes hidden behind mirror lensed red tinted sunglasses she was dressed in civilian clothes, a baggy jumper and some jeans. She was trying her best not to stand out, her sister however was doing all she could to make an entrance. Two large plodding robots came out of an ally way their footsteps clunking noisily as they approached and stopped in front of Alice one standing guard each side of the bench, they looked tough, maybe this was a mistake after all to come here all alone. Then her sister showed herself, she was a pale woman like Alice, well they were vampires being pale was rather normal, it was annoying to be frequently called a goth for it Alice shook her head clear, why was she always thinking of such obscure things, her life could be in danger here, anyway she watched her sister approach. Her sister had slightly longer hair and a shadow seemed to be constantly forming in her wake casting a black smoky substance over her sisters form, so she had learned the darkness shrouding that helped Vampires hunt at night. Her sister was dressed in a leather corset a skirt and silver looking gloves, shoulder guards and boots, all were decorated with skulls with red eyes, her sister also didn’t cover her eyes instead painting them with black makeup so they looked like dark pits. Alice readied herself and tensed up and said, “So Contessa tell me really why I am here, I find it hard to believe you just wanted to talk”. Alice had no doubt in her mind something more was going on here, Contessa nodded and said, “How very perceptive of you my dear, watch your tone, yes though you are right, I did not just want to talk to you, I also wanted to make you an offer”.
She hated sounding so stereotypical but sometimes there was only one way to put things Alice sighed and said not really caring about the answer, “What is that?
Contessa laughed slightly it was a unpleasant sound that seemed to chill Alice to her core, Contessa knew this was going to be difficult but maybe she could let this go on a little more, she always liked to play with her food and she went on in her usual arrogant sounding voice, “Oh what’s the rush my dear? Why must we move along so hastily, you are safe, my servants will look after us”.
“I am sure they will”. Alice said dryly, she knew they were as much here to be ready to stop her if she tried to leave too soon than as guards from the wondering gangs around here.
Contessa decided to go for the kill, “So I hear you have been making certain friends in the hero organisations”. Said Contessa with a interrogative tone to her voice.
“Yes, one or two why?
Alice tried to be as calm as she could be, this unnerved her that her sister knew so much.
Contessa went on knowing she had gotten Alice’s attention but not wanting to give away too much, “I would not get involved in politics my dear, it’s a very dangerous game”.
Alice shrugged here it went again any second now there would be a rant and she said with a hint of pride in her voice, “I was never a bully I picked the side I thought was right, Paragon has moral principles, true some heroes forget that, it is better than what you have here though any day of the week”.
Contessa snorted in annoyance how had her sister became so weak minded? Contessa said in a rather annoyed voice, “Arachnos believe that might is right, I believe that too, it is the only way of life, the weak die to empower the strong”.
There it went thought Alice now time to defend the good guys verbally of course, she said in a equally annoyed sounding voice, “Only if the strong believe that, why cant the strong help the weak and in the end everyone will be far stronger as one?
Contessa hissed a bit, “Anyway enough politics, Like I said its dangerous”. She said starting to pace a little to calm herself down, there was no need to show her sister how annoyed she was getting at these weak words.
Alice not wanting to try her sisters temper too much changed the subject a little, “How did you know anyway, that I had became a official hero?
“Contessa smiled secretively as if she would tell Alice such a thing and she said enigmaticly, “I have my means”.
Alice went on the offensive getting rather annoyed with all this she could tell her sister was toying wit her, “So what is the point of this meeting, come on tell me this offer before we start a silly argument about ideology”.
“Always in a rush, you spend too much time around humans, you are picking up their time table, we need not rush my dear, we live so much longer, we can spread our time out more, anyway, yes to the point, I can offer you protection and a place in my organisation, you could become very powerful as I have, think of it”.
Alice said in a surprised voice, her sister really thought this was even a option?, “You want me to join Arachnos after what I have just told you, and after you telling me not to get involved with politics?
Cintessa went on more or less ignoring her sister, “The lines are being drawn, soon it will come to war, everyone knows it will happen eventually, Arachnos will show no mercy, even if the UN will“.
Alice said with the anger rising in her voice, “Yes because they lack morals, I will fight on the right side, to the death if I have to, I will never join Arachnos they are corrupt and evil!
“Guard your voice sister, You should be grateful I am being so kind to you, after how I was treated because of you”.
Alice sighed oh great this again she said in a quiet voice. “Because of fate, it was a sad thing yes, but there’s always choices to be made, you made the wrong ones”.
Contessa hissed angrily, “Oh that is so easy for you to say, our parents kept you, what did they do to me cast me away like a piece of rubbish!
Alice let her anger get the best of her, “Maybe they were right to! Look at you now the great big bad Countess Leeches, the one who is famous for how she ruled her little sick empire, you could change, you could be so much more than what you are”.
Coontessa Hissed once more her sister was always so full of pretty speeches, “Very well see what you want to see, I will not continue this argument with you, I suppose that means the offer is off?
“You bet its off forever! Snapped Alice, “If that’s all sister I will be going”.
Contessa nodded and snapped back, “That was all sister, go run away back to your Paragon and your band of pathetic heroes“.
With that Alice got up and walked away heading back to the longbow base and no doubt from there to a transport back to Paragon, Contessa watched her leave silently, stupid, such a stupid waste of a pure blood wasting her life being some sort of hero, she would come begging one day, Contessa would be waiting as would others”.
There was the sounds of armoured boot steps behind her and she said without turning, “Ah Huntsman Orcon I was wondering where you were hiding”.
“So let me guess”. Said Orcon in the usually arrogant Arachnos way , “She said no like we knew she would”.
“For now yes she did, like you said that was expected, but the seed of doubt has now been sewed into her mind, we can wait it out she will come to us eventually”.
“Sure she will”. Said Orcon doubtfully
Orcon had no interest in vampires joining Arachnos he was only here has a favour to his mentor and hoped to get out of here as quick as he could, it looked like his chance had came, he was glad this meeting with this ‘Countess Leeches’ had been short. Contessa turned around and headed back to the ally way, she though to herself as she left till we meet again Alice.

((sorry hope this was not too messy, hope you like it or find it entertaining, I realsie this may be in the wrong section, i was confused and its very late it is sort of rp though..ish...))

In the Rouge Island Proclaimer.

Murder in the rouge isles!

Authorities today confirmed they are investigating a possible serial killer, the method of death that the unknown assailent uses seems to be according to reports that of draining the victims totally of blood. This has lead many to speculate it is a Vampire killer, we know after some investigations the first death, that of a member of a gang known as the Skulls happened days after a known vampire, one Countess Leeches had entered the islands. It was later reported that a member of Arachnos was found dead in a similar manner, however that report could possibly have been false as we have found no thurther reports of Arachnos casualties on the night in question. Three other murders however have been more blatently confirmed, a third victim was found outside the famous Pocket D nightclub and two others have been found in the Cap Au Diable Island. We are now asking for anyone with information to send a message to the authorities, Arachnos our noble and great benefactors however say there is no cause for alarm and that they have the situation under observation, we wish them luck in their persuit of this murderer.

((sorry if this was messy my first attempt at something like this))

Two Skull gangsters Port Oaks.

"Dude its the boss!
"Yeah? Wha 'bout him?
"He's dead!
"Wha tha hell you mean dead?
"It's true man Police found his body, said it was drained of blood.
"Holy s..wha any idea who did the boss?
"No, just found a letter stapled on his chest saying "loose lips cost lives"
"I gues even bosses gotta keep their mouth shut round here"

Overheard by an amused Hellion.

((my first try so here goes))

"Yo dude, your with Arachnos right?
"Let me guess the armor tipped you off, what is it?
"Hey don't take that tone with me man, I've got something you want to hear"
"My mace will take a even unkinder tone with you, anyway tell me what is this 'oh so important' information?
"Well one of my boys was in the bar that Pocket D, anyway there was a newcomer, she was a vampire or something Leeches was her name, anyway the real bit you want to know is she said something about playing some spider huntsman against another"
"Is that all?
"Hey man it's something right?
"I suppose it is, i,ll look into it"
"Hey, don't I get some money"
"Your still standing, that's your reward, now get lost".

A conversation between a Wolf spider and a Skull leader, over herd by a passer by outside of Pocket D, Port Oaks, last night.

The ranged/melee problem with ninjas is infamous especially when locked in a cell, the higher level they go less it seems to matter though, however my ninjas have gotten my char killed in situations where they really should have done better. All in all though ninjas do well, if you want trouble try zombies *rolls eyes*

Well played stalkers should be welcome on any team from my limited experience, they are very good boss/strong enemy assassins. I've seen them take out enemies in one maybe two shots that most brutes have trouble with, the advise I can think of is don't play a stalker like a brute, play them like a hit and run assassin.

On additional adventures sonic seems to be worth while, however the mind control seems bad for solo but in a team it really comes into its own, though as a newer player I have later found out that controllers are mostly a team assist class anyway so all in all a possible keeper though not for solo play I should have called him the debt captain!

Is this a good build to stick with or would you reccomend respecing? I only ask as Ive died a lot though I am only lvl 15, maybe that's why and I don't have the 'good' powers yet. Either way I seem so far to die a lot more than brutes are supposed to die. Maybe I am just unlucky

I have a conbtroller with this combi (Captain interference)got him to level 12, is it worth going on or is this a bad build as it seems quite a tricky one.
