Heatstroke

YES !!!!

This is just the list of things Ive been thinking about recently that I'd like to see. Mostly Powerset focused as thats something that I geat great enjoyment out of.. 1)WIND CONTROL !!!!! I cant stress enough how much Ive wanted this powerset. In fact I've taken a self imposed oath that I will not make another character until I see Wind Control implemented. This would be a boon to both Controllers and Dominators. The framework is there. The Powerset is already worked out. Its time to make it happen !!!! I dont care if other servers have it. Homecoming should have it. 2) Id like to see a Judgement power that looks like a big energy blast as this would fit so many concepts. It could be a big Hadoken a big Kamehameha.. Big Bang Attack Anything like that would be cool. 3) Water Assault for Dominators. Should be easy to implement. 4) Storm Assault for Dominators.. Also should be easy to implement. 5) Id like to see a Teleportation powerset.. We have TP powers like Savage Leap. Shield Charge, Spring Attack. I think a Powerset designed around that would be fun.. Yes I have visions of Nightcrawler... 6) Fill in some missing Masteries in the Epic powers.. Ie Energy Blast Sentinels shouldnt they have an energy Mastery? 7) More Eyebeam Options !!!!!

Dont get me started ranting about Wind Control again...

Im not sure this would really benefit Dominators in any meaningful way. I play most of my Dominators as Ranged Controllers. almost never taking a melee power.. and since locked down foes cant hurt me... Im never really in any danger.. Sure it might take an extra blast or two to take a foe down.... but thats never an issue IMO

Grav has an issue because its all " hard " controls. There are no soft controls in Grav that balance it out ( and no Dimension Shift doesnt count ). So you are limited in your AoE mob control and Wormhole can be challenging to use.. And using an AoE immobilize the wrong way get you a lot of aggro and killed. Electric however is different. It has the standard AoE Hold. AoE immobilize and Single target Hold. But it also has Synaptic Overload which is an AoE confuse as well as Static Field which is a powerful AoE Sleep. And the AoE Sleep IMO is the gem of the set. Its a patch that will work to keep putting the mob to sleep even after attacking them. Combine that with other things like draining their end. and Jolting Chain which will jump and knock foes down.. You can get a good mix of hard and soft control. Elec Assault had Short Circuit it would be my favorite sapper type build..

Akai Senko Electrical Melee/Shield Defense/Energy Mastery Stalker Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited, Formely The FIST, Formerly Misawa Corporation. Rumored Crey Industries Background Mitsurugi Misawa former lead developer for the Misawa Electronic Corporation, saw his innovative tech company snatched from under him as it reached its apex. Misawa had been contacted by the organization known as the FIST to develop several electrical based armored exosuits. Misawa had success with the Taser and Shellshock projects yielding immediate results, causing the company's stock to soar. However it was his third project that led to his downfall. Misawa tried repeatedly, but unsuccessfully to combine the plans for the FIST prototype PRIME teleportation device with a new exosuit designed for rapid attacks. The FIST pulled funding, but Misawa continued to sink company assets into the design. The stock plummeted and the board moved to take over Misawa Corporation. Misawa refused to resign and was removed. Before the board could lock him out he took the plans for his new exosuit. Misawa reportedly has received "unknown and questionable" new sources of funding to finish his project, and then he plans to retake his company, by any means at his disposal.

EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!

PRIME GravityControl/Time Manipulation/Energy Mastery Controller Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited, The FIST Primary Response for Immediate Military Engagement. This was the goal of the FIST project when it hired Dr. Frank Deveraux. Formerly a scientist working for the Portal Corporation, Dr. Deveraaux is a expert in the field of gravimetrics and temporal spatial mechanics. The FIST project sought to make an exoskeleton that could instantly transport their advanced military weaponry and personnel to handle any potental threat. Dr. Deveraux, in conjunction with Dr. Dane Hammond and Dr. Jonas Markum, developed the PRIME Exosuit utilizing similar technology as the Portal Corporation. With their help he created a portable Warp Field Unit complete with gravimetric and temporal field altering abilities to support combat troops. Dr. Deveraux a FIST Project research scientest now known as the hero Prime, is also a founding member of the TItans United supergroup and is currently field testing the unit.

Like I said its like picking your favorite kid... All creativity requires is inspiration to get it started.

Thanks for actually making this topic.. Its given me some incentive to finish off some origins !!!

This is one of my Favoreite characters and pretty much one of the only ones that I decided to get T4 Incarnate across the board Overdrive Electric Blast/Electric Armor/Electricity Mastery Senitel Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited, GIFT Background From childhood Arthur Ames suffered from constant spasms and seizures. As he approached puberty he was also seemed to develop a type of ADHD. His mind was always moving, he was constantly active, running around, and had trouble sleeping. Then one day Arthur while at home with his parents, he released a pulse of energy that knocked out every electrical system in the house. His parents took him to GIFT and they discovered that Arthur was a metahuman that drew enegry from an unknown force that seemed to focus on energy and velocity. This force which Arthur dubbed "The Juice" increased his speed, reaction time, thought processes, and even his healing Factor. Arthur can run at incredible speeds. He is one of fastest heroes every tested by GIFT. In addition the constant influx of energy has increased the electical charge in Arthur's body allowing him to create and even absorb electrical attacks. One of Arthur's primary powers is the ability to drain energy from almost any source; in effect he is a walking EMP. He can shut down any electrical current in his vicininty which includes the electrical pulses in living beings. He can also draw that energy into himself to aid his own recovery and even heal damage to his person by causing his cells to regenerate at an accelrated rate. In addition Arthur is also highly resistant to energy based attacks. Lately he has found that he can even "Juice" others boosting their speed and recovery. Arthur now works with GIFT as the hero " Overdrive".

Doctor Nightshade Plant Control/Darkness Affinity/Dark Mastery Controller Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited, SERAPH, The FIST Background Dr. Phineas Frazier and his wife Leslie were scientists living and working in what was once known as Woodvale (know known as Eden) Phineas' expertise was in physics, particulary in the field of dark matter. Leslie was an earth scientist and botanist. They were working with SERAPH and the FIST project on research to assist in the final destruction of Hamidon and the Devouring Earth. After years of studying DNA from captured Devouring Earth, they discovered that they could infect Hamidon's army with a " dark matter virus". Hamidon got wind of this breakthrough and unleashed his army upon Woodvale, the focus being Dr. Frazier's lab. In the attack the Devouring Earth detonated a "bio plasma bomb". The blast killed Leslie Frazier and left Phineas barely alive, infused with dark matter and DE DNA. He dubbed himself Doctor Nightshade in honor of his late wife's favorite plant.

Thank you. Ive tried in various places to intertwine the backgrounds of the characters into the lore of the game. as it is the world they live in, to give them a connection. Part of that mindset comes from playing Pen And Paper SuperHero RPG games for so long. I played Champions very first edition back in the 80's and from comic lore, origins are always a part of the characters story and motivation., so I've tried to emulate that here. Like most writing.. sometimes it comes quickly and sometimes it takes a while. Im backlogged for maybe 20-30 characters right now lol

absolutely untrue..

My very first Character based off a character that I made in Champions the PnP superhero RPG over 30 years ago. Airhammer Energy Blaster/Energy Manipulation/Force Mastery Blaster Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited, The FIST Famous Quotes: "BadaBoom", " Welcome to the Land of Stun" aka " Death from Above " "Master of Snipe Fu" Background In response to the growing threat from super powered villians and the narrow but costly victory over the Ritki, the US Army started the F.I.S.T. (First Infantry Shock Troops) project which is designed to be the first line of defense against such threats. Major Shane Pierce is the lead test pilot for the US Army's F.I.S.T. project which develops super powered weaponry and exoskeletons. The exoskeleton designated Airhammer Mark IV was created to be a high collateral damage unit utilizing a combination of force projection and energy manipulation. Major Pierce now code named Airhammer is currently field testing the exoskeleton designed for the next generation soldier. The Mark IV Exosuit has been upgraded with more defensive capabilties than the previous versions. Addendum. FIst Project Observation Airhammer primary prefers aerial combat, preferably from long range. He is an expert with a battle tactic he learned many years ago called " SnipeFu". His ability to engage foes from long range is unparalled. His excels at kiting or as he likes to stay " stick and move tactics " Apparently he somehow incorporated some cloaking technlogy from the Knives of Artemis to give himself limited stealth capability. Its not as affective as their devices but it gives him advantages, particularly when he sneaks in and uses his Nova Attack in large groups, or drops down onto foes with his " Death from Above " manuever undetected, and he has learned how to " Snipe " from a distance and move before the enemy can locate him which often causes confusion on the battlefield because the attacks keep coming from different directions. He also liberally uses a techique he calls " Shinra Tensei " ( unsure what that means at the time of this report) against single targets to " Push " them away from him, knocking them down in the process which he usually immediate follow up with Energy Blasts. While it is not his preference Airhammer is not helpless in hand to hand combat. By fousing his energy around his fists, instead of using long range blasts he can easily stun many opponents to the point where they are helpless. Dr. Dane Hammond has also incorporated the now defunct " Reflex " project force field armor into the Airhammer Exosuit giving it enhanced defensive capabilities.

SureShot Archery/Tactical Arrow/Mace Mastery Blaster Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited, The FIST, META Famous Quotes: "Bullseye, Direct Hit, Dont Miss" (bonus points if you know where this is from) Background The agent codenamed Sureshot is a former CIA operative sent to infiltrate the Malta Group and gather intel on the Knives of Artemis. His true affiliation is as member of the META( Military Engineered Tactically Advanced ) group. Unofficially funded by the FIST, the META operation utilizes new nanomachine technology and genome projects to create artifically super powered individuals. The META project has had varying degrees of success, however they haven't been unable to control what abilities will manifest in each test subject. SureShot developed heightened vision, superior reflexes, and an uncanny sense of accuracy. His accuracy is so acute he is able to locate what he calls "Shatterpoints" in objects, weak points he can target to inflict greater damage. Sureshot while employing his targeting eyepiece can even see "stealthed" targets which has prompted META to begin to use him on numerous Arachnos missions.

Apex Willpower/SS/Energy Mastery Tanker Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited Background The META project. It started as a line item in the FIST project budget listed under advanced engineering. The FIST had good success with their exoskelton project yet, the time need to design, develop a battle suit, and train a pilot would never allow them to create a fighting force large enough to deal with situations like the Rikti and Rularuu invasions. META (Military Engineered Tactically Advanced) started a genome project utilizing nanomachines to attempt to create super soldiers. Apex is the pinnacle of that project. The nanomachines in his system have altered his endocrine, nervous and skeletal system granting him increased strength and endurance. His bones are the hardness of graphene giving him improved resistance. Most importantly his ability to heal damage is tied into his endocrine system. Essentially the harder he fights, the faster he regenerates. In addition when he is enraged his endocrine system pushes his already increased strength to superhuman levels.

FyrePsyde Mind Control/Fire Assault/Energy Mastery Dominator Level 50 Excelsior Server Group Affiliations: Titans Reunited and The Ultimates Background They wanted a weapon. They wanted something they could control. They got half of it right. Their plan was to systemically capture heroes, introduce a mutagen similar to the one that turned Hero 1 into warped version of his former self, and use them as an army against Earth's heroes. They however had no idea what they were about to unleash. FyrePsyde was chosen for capture from information gained through stolen Crey Industries files. They thought that could use his growing psychokinetic abilities to their advantage. He was kidnapped and then tortured by their psychic "Mentalists" to break his will. FyrePsyde's psychic abilities however were severely underestimated by his captors however and when they attempted to mutate him further, he used his power to break free of their control. Now he seeks retribution against those that call themselves "The Rikti".

This is like asking who is your favorite child. I havent even gotten around to making all the origins I need to.. but here is one of my favorites. Im not great with costumes.. but I do like writing background to give my characters a sense of motivation, purpose, fighting style and sometimes even power choice. FEYD Energy Melee/Energy Aura/Energy Mastery Stalker Level 50 Excelsior Server Background Vanguard Case File: 908574-B Subject: FEYD What we have been able to ascertain about subject FEYD is that somehow he came into possession of a prototype stealth suit that may have been developed by Malta operatives in conjuction with the Knives of Artemis. Because FEYD's operations and battle tactics are clandestine it has been difficult to gather information. What is known is the technology absorbs all photonic energy and sonic vibration in his area making him virtually undetectable. The photonic energy it absorbs can then be released in powerful bursts which can do lethal damage often eliminating a target in one or two blows, before FEYD quickly disappears again. FEYD is a rogue operative, with no allegiance to any particular group or organization. He has worked in the past with Vanguard, The FIST and he has contacts in the Rogue Isles. His motivations are unclear.

This might not be the advice you are looking for... but IMO is way better on a Stalker because Shield Charge and Lightning Rod are basically pseudo pets IIRC they dont crit.. but on a Stalker, they dont break hide... which is super awesome.

Knockback when used strategically can be very beneficial to a team. Foes on their butts cant attack. When used indiscriminately potentially extremely annoying. I generally change all KB powers to KD with the procs. On My NRG blaster all AOE is KB.. except for the Nuke because I want the damage Procs in there.. Single targets I dont use the proc, But I also know how to use KB responsibly Nowhere near as annoying as the un-annouced Fold Space users.. Thanks for wasting my nuke by teleporting everyone AWAY from me..

I never proc'd the powerset so I dont have any experience with that. What I am noticing is that it just taking a long time to do anything. and that it seems like many of the foes arent even being affected by it. I probaly need to look at some damage data.. but something feels very off.. The patch doesnt stay in place. If I spawn it farther away it will move back towards me.. never did that before. Just now I laid down a patch against TWO foes and it too at least 8-10 second before a vine even formed and look at the combat log the enemy never took any damage from the patch. The Creeper Vine is NOT spawning under each foe consistently.. sometimes it does.. sometime im facing 3-4 foes and get one vine.. The Vines can be knocked back.. I dont remember that happening before..

I was wondering if this could be done.. Just like we have flight with Bright. Dark or minimall effects is there a way these could be chosen in the same manner so that the character will always chose this options when flying? Or could it be almost like a path aura option?

Facts

I feel you. Both my PB and WS are All-Human builds.
