Just finished putting the finishing touches on the TLTF. Just have to do some test runs and spell checking and it's go live time.

Word.

TL

Yar.


HCoC

...which I will ask here instead of the MA forums because I can take Virtue ridicule, just not All-Server Ridicule.

Outdoor maps - City 01. What zone is it supposed to be in?


Maybe it's early or the booze, but for some reason I can't place it. I want to say Steel Canyon, but I also want to say Kings Row.


TL

Why split up the Slurpee Machine team? Turkey Lurkey and Gray Huntress.

=D

TL

Almost at 10,000 pageviews on my deviantart site. Perhaps a free character sketch for the person that gets a screenie of that?

Oh, and Morgenstern? I do actually have a real sketch of your character for winning the April Fool's Day Challenge, I've just been dealing with scanner/computer issues that has been preventing me from posting it. Should be resolved soon.

Sorry I missed you, I had some unexpected company last night. I'll be on and off though the night tonight. Just FYI, the trade is villain side and the only Halloween salvage I have is Villainside as well.



TL

Y'know, I like that alternate look for Runriot so much, I'ma gonna incorporate it into my character. So I need an assist. Can someone on Virtue help me with a salvage transfer? There's a full Halloween costume set in it for you.

Added two more reference sheets of my characters:

Character: Gray Huntress

Original Version

Her arrows aren’t cheap toys used to bring criminals in to do time; they’re as lethal as an oncoming train and she isn’t afraid of the moral issues that come along with murder. Proud to walk the line of a vigilante, Gray can be as much an enemy to heroes as to villains though she generally shames heroes who stand up to her. She knows they fight a good fight and finds it honorable, but she dives headfirst into the shades of gray…where justice isn’t simply black and white. Gray sometimes seems cocky, blunt, and volumes could be read behind her words that often carry double meanings. She approaches battle like a wolf playing with its prey; she is confident victory is already assured. The Huntress often goes ahead full force and demeans her peers when they hold back.

Gray Huntress, or Apollonia "Polina" Fanakov, was born in Grozny, Chechnya to a former Honduran bounty hunter, Mist Arrow, and a father she never met, Dr. Ivan Fanakov, a famous missing Russian geneticist. Polina’s mother tried to raise her as best as she could, but the latter part of Mist Arrow’s life and Gray’s entire childhood focused on finding her missing father.

Her mother began training her to follow in her footsteps as soon as she could draw a bow and tried to instill a sense of duty to the man she never knew. The world knew Fanakov as a brilliant scientist that was pushing the bounds of the human genome, and that he mysteriously vanished from the world without a trace in 1975. Nine months after his disappearance, Mist Arrow launched her unfinished crusade to find the man she loved; a man who also saved her from the clutches of the Council. This crusade led to Paragon City.

As Gray grew into her teenage years, she thought this was a fool’s quest and had frequent disagreements with her mother. Their key conflict was their different approaches to pursuing the Council. Mist Arrow believed that the men should be arrested, interrogated, and sent to Zig for their crimes; Gray Huntress believed that lethal force was necessary to deal with them and was just punishment enough. If they lived to see another day, then they could still potentially escape and put a bullet in your back later; a problem easily solved early. But this created an irreparable rift between mother and daughter, and, in rebellion, Gray left her mother to her doomed crusade for her homeland, Russia.

In 1993, she was one of the founding members of the Valiant Defenders of the Motherland, the first independent Russian Hero Organization. She was a huge hit among the Russian youth, but broke many young conservative men’s hearts when she was one of the few heroes to openly come out as bisexual. Gray was the only natural human on the team and yet she was also the most wild, performing daring, near-suicidal stunts with remarkable success without recognition of her mortality. She basked in the fame and controversy surrounding her, but harsh reality struck her hard during the first Rikti War. While she admirably did her part in the war, back in Paragon City Mist Arrow met her untimely demise. She was on the team of heroes responsible for taking down the Rikti Mothership which crashed in the zone now known as the Rikti War Zone. Live footage was taken of her final moments as she hung on for dear life atop the plummeting ship, apparently caught under some debris. News of her mother’s death immediately prompted Gray to leave the Valiant Defenders and return to Paragon.

TL's Ultimate Gray Huntress

While most tribes would have shunned or even killed her for her strange gray skin, the Wolf tribe accepted her with open arms, even revered her. She quickly came into her right as a formidable hunter and warrior, and was the natural choice for leader when she came of age. Under her rule, the village lived in peace and prosperity...until the Rikti came. The alien invaders wiped out her entire village and left her for dead. She fought to stay alive and avenge her fallen tribe. As soon as she was physically able, the hunt began. She tracked the Rikti to Paragon City, a city with a diverse assortment of hunters and prey. Dubbed "The Gray Huntress" by the media, she silently hunts the shadows for retribution.

Hope you like it GH, I had some fun with it. It's bit of a departure from the original concept, but I think you can still recognize her.....

And Runriot and Betty Highside need to hang out.

I worked on a new version of Runriot for Turkey Lurkey :

Original Bio:

Andrea Rhyatt always loved speed. Her mother used to joke that she was only in labor with Andrea for 45 minutes. By the time she was old enough to walk, Andrea was running, and whoa be to anyone who tried to get her to slow down or sit still. By age 5, she discovered her love for fast cars, by 11 she was stealing them, often leading police on city-wide chases. But soon the thrill of her motorized mayhem wore off. She desired the speed for herself, not rely on a vehicle to provide it for her. So at age 18, she particpated in a series of experiments with nanotechnology and cybernetics to give her that speed. Now, as Runriot, she's running again, all throughout the Rogue Isles, looking for that next big thrill.
------------------------------------------------------------

Personal Add-on to the Bio:

At age 18, Rhyatt easily fell in with the Freakshow. After all, both shared a taste for punk rock, chaos, reckless abandon, and, oh yes, cybernetic improvement. The Freaks offered the quickest fix for Runriot’s need for speed and, after several months of manipulating a meat doctor, she had her very own pair of cybernetic legs designed for her addiction. Even though associated with the Freakshow, she strikes out on her own and fulfills master plans of her creation; she wants her name to stand alone as the fastest speedster in the Rogue Isles…possibly even the world.
------------------------------------------


New Runriot

Costume Analysis:

When given Runriot’s background both in the pm and in the caption under her DA reference, I immediately thought to connect her to the Freakshow someway; seemed like a match made in heaven. While I deviated significantly from her original outfit, I did keep certain aspects in mind. The bottoms of the original costume reminded me of the pieces of a red sports car’s twisted exterior accenting her legs…I wanted to keep with that theme and built on it with the new design. The cyborg legs and gloves worked perfectly for the outfit (again twisted, yet sleek, red metal), especially since it has that shiny reflective surface. I thought the shoulder cables were slightly reminiscent of a Freak Stunner’s, and would tie into her electrical blast powers. Finally, I gave her a head that just screamed Freak punker with a red metal hawk and copper circuitry below the skin and kept the enforcer chinplate as an additional tie-in to her original outfit. I hope Turkey Lurkey likes the costume; I enjoyed putting the pieces together and I’m happy with the end result.

P.S. Also added the dark grey tendrils aura around her feet. She keeps moving so much, it’s causing her cybernetic legs to smoke from all the electricity and heat.

[/ QUOTE ]

I like it VERY much, the bio too. The bio I had given you was a quick basis of the character, but I felt something was needed, tying her in with the Freakshow never even crossed my mind. I've been looking for an alternate look for RR, but wasn't quite sure where to go. Your's ties in well enough that I think I will incorporate it. She's only level 5 now, I hope all those parts are available for me!

Hopefully, I'll have my version of your character done sometime tomorrow. Computer problems are a hassle.


TL

Throwing everyone for a loop and NOT going with a Turkey! HA! Have I blown your minds?


TL

People can provide the reference shots, you don't nec. HAVE to look at them. But they're available for those who want to.

And I'd like to see them once the game is over to compare.

Sadly, MA is out for me, as all three of my slots are hosting arcs at the moment.

That is, unless we can show them off in Test Mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think he means creating them in MA, then taking screen shots and posting here, like we would with our character references.



TL

The Turkey Crew are absolutely pains to draw and would be no fun. No really everybody hates them. Srsly.

:P


TL

I'm game.

Finaly ran this last night. I was cute and fun and the Cameos were cool. I tried to figure out who that boss was for the longest time ... and ... I gave up (longest time beeing about 10 seconds ... and figured it was just a boss)

[/ QUOTE ]


The Boss was not an Art Forum person, but rather a parody of a "professional" artist of ill repute.


TL

Just a head's up, "Art Attack" may be coming down soon for another Arc that popped into my head at work the other day, and it's far too good an idea to pass up IMO. So if you've been putting off running the mission, or want to run it several more times to bask in the glory of beating up an effigy of Rob Liefeld, now would be the time to do it. It will stay up until both the Turkey Lurkey Task Force and this new arc are both up, so you'll have a little bit of time yet. My Frostfire arc will remain for the time being.

Oh, this great new arc?

A little something for the villains...a Strike Force...featuring one of my more underused characters....

You might of heard of him...

It's this guy.

Oh yes...there will be puns....

TL

This week's "CSI" also had a brief CoH cameo courtesy of the Prima Guide.


TL

I've tweeked the 2nd mission in my Frostfire Mish. It's no longer defeat all and I added an Ally ambush to lower the level range to be consistant with the other missions. Be careful, the Boss likes to run, even though he's not set to, and he usually spawns near the door.

The Revenge of Frostfire!
by @Turkey Lurkey
Arc ID: 5383
Morality: Villainous
Level Range: 7-15
Length: The system says "Very Long", I disagree, all maps are small. Took me about 20-30 minutes to run through on my MA/Regen scrapper. Depends on your build. If you're the ghosting type, it will take you less. So don't be scared by the "Very Long". The EB at the end can be tough
Description: Poor Frostfire! Always being captured by gangs of heroes. Well, he's had enough! Help him get his revenge!

Mission 1: Lvl 7-15. Patrols, Rescue.
Mission 2: Lvl 7-15. Boss, Ambush, non-essential collection.
Mission 3: Lvl 7-15. Ally, 4 Bosses.
Mission 4: Lvl 7-15. EB, Defeat All.


It's only been played a couple times, so feedback and comments are welcome.
