Well I had an epic fail this morning. Found out Gamma Dancer was in the middle of a respec and nothing slotted. Was going to use my rad/nature corruptor to replace Ban's since he can't make it today, but her build was no good either! So did a quick costume on Eternal Nytefall - Dark/Rad Tanker.

Here are themes for June:
-
7 Jun - “Darkstalkers” - Soul of the Woodsman (Numina, Level 35-40) - Shapeshifters (two costumes with different face/body types, start with one and switch to the second as we enter Eden; e.g., one vaguely human and one Monstrous)
-
14 Jun - “Rise and Fall” - Cavern of Transcendence (Karsis, Level 12-15, leader needs unlock) - Angels and devils costumes
-
21 Jun - “Sportsball” - Tree of Thorns Respec #2 (Trepsarciel, Level 34-43) - Any AT/powers, sports uniforms (I may be out of town.)
-
28 Jun - “Who’s Posi gonna call?” - Positron 1+2 (Level 8+) - Ghostbusters costumes; Beam Rifle, Energy, or Radiation powers
First I want to say how much I appreciate you making the monthly themes for us, Fraulein. In the back of my mind I always picture Trixie coming back at some point, but I think she's immersed in other games now and that may not happen. So you're doing a great thing for Theme Team!
Second, I'll miss most of June 😞 because of work on the 7th, and then I'll be out of town during both following weekends. I'll be home for the 28th but won't know the work schedule until later. Looks like some juicy stuff you've got planned!

Oh hell, I love a fun Moonfire with you guys, but I'm scheduled to work this Saturday. 😭 See you for the next one!
Well guess what, I looked at the schedule wrong last night and I am free this Saturday! It's the following Saturday I have to work, June 7, so I'll miss the shapeshifter theme. But for the Moonfire, I have so many choices for this theme, it's tough to choose! Put me down for Gamma Dancer - Staff/Rad Brute

Sutter TF - Spectrum costumes
Saturday, May 24, 2025
Today got off to a rocky start, but Jax was able to join at the last minute, and then we picked up two more before we launched, which led to a highly successful Sutter run!
Nova Khrome, one of our LFG recruits, not in theme but thought it was a cool costume worth showing. I didn't catch his global name.
Serpent Coils went between missions to put on a spectrum face. 😄

For the Sutter today I'll bring Candy Martini - War Mace/Bio Brute in candy pink!
edit: I see now a discussion about postponing this theme for a more lively week. Either way, I'll be in-game doing more anniversary badge collecting, so will await the decision!

That was a VERY fun theme. Thx for the great pics, Midnyte! 👍
You're welcome. I loved it too. I had a rough week, came down with a bad head cold and didn't feel much like sitting at my desk. I'm finally on the mend! 🙂

Since no one has signed up for this week, Abandoned Sewer Trial is tough if you go in light, and I know at least a couple of our regulars can't make it (but were interested in the theme), let's postpone the theme a week (to the other side of 4 May). I'll modify the month as follows:
-
3 May - Cancelled
“May the Fourth be with You!” - Abandoned Sewer Trial (Mairenn MacGregor, Level 38-50) - Star Wars costumes (Jedi/Sith), appropriate AT/powers (a lot of powers could qualify).Get your time capsules and shop for Anniversary stuff from Luna! Also, log in all your alts for the Cheers! badge. -
10 May - “May the Fourth be with You!”
“Forged in Fire”- Beast of the Mountain (Virgil Tarikoss, Level 15-20) - Star Wars costumes (Jedi/Sith), appropriate AT/powers (a lot of powers could qualify)Melee weapon powers (e.g., swords, hammers) or fire powers - Blacksmith and Firefighter costumes - 17 May - “Rikti Infiltration” - The Lady Grey TF (Lady Grey, Level 35-50) - Rikti costumes with matching weapon-based powerset (We postponed this one last time for “Red/Blue Wedding.”)
- 24 May - “Lite Brite” - The Sky is Falling (Admiral Sutter, Level 20-40) - Spectrum Body type (other costume elements are fine, but the spectral body should be visible). Everyone picks a different color. Any AT/powers. (I’ll be out of town for this one.)
- 31 May - “Mutate This!” - The Kheldian War (Moonfire, Level 23-28) - Professional-Grade Gene Alterations with Radiation/Radioactive, Bio/Nature, Poison powersets; appropriate costumes.
Signups for next week:
10 May - “May the Fourth be with You!” - Beast of the Mountain (Virgil Tarikoss, Level 15-20) - Star Wars costumes (Jedi/Sith), appropriate AT/powers (a lot of powers could qualify)

I've gotten massively into reading after a great many years of not reading much, and all of a sudden I wondered if we've done any book themes? I suppose we technically have since comics are a type of book and many of the movies/character concepts we've done are also books.
But anyway, some ideas--some may be duplicates of things we've done since I can't remember everything:
- Lord of the Rings inspired costumes
- Crusades - powers/costumes
- Genre based costumes - e.g., sci-fi, fantasy, romance, horror, etc.
- Steven King inspired costumes
- Favorite author/series/book costumes
- Religious icon costume & powers (e.g., base it on a famous religious figure providing this idea wouldn't cause offense to anyone; could easily be inspired by Norse, Egyptian, Greek mythologies)
- Mythological creatures - powers & costumes
- Angels & devils costumes
- Modern Robin Hood (using guns & technology instead of bows & arrows)
- Witches/coven costumes (I know this would be a redux since I think we've done witches for Katie Hannon)
- Victorian/gothic era costumes
- Wizard of Oz/Wicked inspired costumes
- Costume inspired by classical literature (American or otherwise)
- Shakespeare
- Shape shifter costumes (would need 2 costume slots to accomplish)
- Star Wars inspired costumes, bonus points for matching powers
- Nymph inspired costumes
- Costume based on a recipe
- Military powers & costumes (or just costumes)
- Police/law enforcement costumes
- Literal description (e.g., your character's name is explanation of their powers--example: Tyger Darkstorm must have dark and storm powers)
- Girl/Boy Scouts - teenage scouts get empowered to fight/commit crime
- Deep Sea/Ocean inspired powers & costumes
I love your book idea! I don't make much time for reading anymore but have been an avid reader most of my life. And wow, thanks for this great list! This'll keep us going for years. ♥

"Bananiac" was definitely not my 1st toom on live, and definitely not my Global at that time. I just remember when I came up with this name, I found it so absolutely brilliantly funny that I kinda kept it as my Alias for all future things I would do on the Internet from then on.
And when I discovered HC, it had become 2nd nature and was the obvious choice for my new Global. Even though, it was not the first toon I made. I had about a dozen new and re-made toons before I settled down on that one. This is by all accounts and for the purpose of this excercise what I will roll with! For the record: Rad/Plant Controller (*)
(*) Even though the original on live was I think a Spines/Rad Scrapper or something... but that Controller fits the idea much better).
I love learning the story of how Bananiac came to be! Thank you for sharing that with us. I'll tell you how I came to be Midnyte. When Rich and I first starting playing together in 2005, shortly after the CoV expansion, my global name was by default, my first character, "Decanatrix". Many old-timers will remember me as a clumsy, bumbling dominator who died a lot. Not only was it my first MMO, but I chose a difficult AT as an introduction to that! But I persevered with her, and made friends villain-side in the game (who kept me alive LOL). But somewhere along the way, I made a hero to play with some friends hero-side, and I discovered the beauty of dark melee scrapper. She was Midnight's Shadow, my first L50 hero. I got a reputation for having characters with midnight or moonlight or any night/celestial theme in the name, and got teased about it quite a bit back then. 😄
Then a few years went by and I was playing other MMOs concurrently and was playing Warhammer Online quite a bit. My main on there was a witch elf named Midnyte, and it somehow became my brand. So in CoH, I renamed my global from Decanatrix to Midnyte, this was around 2010 or 2011. From then on, it's just always been my name in any game I play.
Edit to add: Consider this my signup for Midnyte - Dark/WP Brute for the anniversary celebration 😄
2nd edit: I found a pic in my Dropbox account of my Witch Elf in Warhammer Online. Here she is. Wow, I still miss this game.

Yeah, my first character is also not my global, lol. It also probably doesn't even exist anymore since I go through so many alts. Closest one I think of is Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM. I think she's my oldest HC character at this point so I'll bring her. 🙂
In my head I always think of you as Valnara or some form of that, right? When I click on info of your character in-game, I think that's what it says. Valnara1, maybe?

This is a bit of a tough theme for me: I don't have a character that is my global and I never remade my very first character when HC started up. But, if it's all the same, I can bring my first villain in her original costume (Hostia Usta - Fire/Dark Corr.).
Yeah, I think that's the concept of this theme, even if the words don't match up exactly? I say, go for it! 😄

Themed TF/SF Saturdays
in Indomitable
Posted
Hey Themers! I am back from my world travels 😄 I've been home from England for a couple of weeks now but was scheduled to work last Saturday, so didn't even take a peek at the forum. I loved reading back through the past few weeks, so thanks for posting recaps. And thanks for keeping Theme Team going, despite the usual summer inconsistent levels of participation! Sign me up for next week, and I'll update here once I find a time character to join.
