  1. Silver Sparkle, Childlike Gynoid (Crystal Seismic Blast/Energy Blaster)
  2. It's been a while! I have a bunch of developed toons on Excelsior but haven't been 'capping them. This one is Far-Reacher (Grav/Dark Blast/Mace)
  3. @Virtual Green, Oh man, this is so good! Love the cyber tech eyes and mask combination with the smirk. **edit sorry the formatting got all garbled trying to post from my phone 😕
  4. Happy New Year all! Finally I've created a character to go with my namesake's costume I put together over a year ago(!) Here is the Azure Angel (AzureAngel on Excelsior) In his "Be Not Afraid" energy form:
  5. Been out of this forum for a bit, though not out of the City. Now that the Dr. Aeon gloves are in... Baba Munja (Elec/Elec/Mu Magic Dominator). Croatian for "Granny Thunder" (at least according to Google Translate)
  6. Sea Soul (Natural Brute Stone Melee/Ice Armor/Leviathan Mastery)
  7. Chiaroscuro. n. An effect of contrasted light and shadow created by light falling unevenly or from a particular direction on something. Kyaroscuro. A North Korean mutant refugee who can manipulate light and "anti-light." (Mutant Illusion/Dark Controller)
  8. Here's my fan take on one of the villains of the manga and anime Berserk--Void. V01D (Magic Controller Gravity/Time)
  9. Compelling characters come from moral choices that those characters simply cannot walk away from. Epic characters--that is to say, characters who's actions tend to determine the fate of the world--are usually built on an interesting character flaw or moral obligation. Since you mentioned that your character is a former Seer, a recurring character trope is "Kali the Destroyer," or the mythically-powered woman who has the power to bring armageddon (like Dark Phoenix from X-Men or Kerrigan from StarCraft). "Kali the Destroyer" characters are usually sympathetic to the audience when they're motivated by revenge (eg, Maleficent). Hopefully there's something in there that might help you flesh out your backstory a bit more.
  10. Decided to make another Praetorian and flesh out the backstory of one of my other characters, Lost Little Boy a bit more. Here is the ex-Seer, codenamed "Psikosis," who is the biological mother of Lost Little Boy. A native of the city now called First Ward, she was a star-crossed lover of the mutant technopath hero Tech Shepherd who was one of the first field operatives from Primal Earth to explore the Praetorian dimension. Unfortunately, with Marcus Cole scouring the globe for potential psychics, Tech Shepherd defied his lover's wishes and took his newborn son back to Primal Earth, believing a prophecy that if he stayed in Praetoria, he would be instrumental in bringing about the overthrow of Primal Earth. Distraught over his decision, she erupted in an emotional psychic maelstrom, drawing the attention of Mother Mayhem and eventually leading to her capture. However, due to the ongoing machinations of the Resistance and Syndicate, Psikosis was able to free herself from the network and begin the difficult process of reconnecting with her child and rebuilding her life. (Mutant Dominator Mind/Psi)
  11. I think one solution to this would be to have it as a Prestige Travel Power. Logistically, it would probably be something like Professor X's hover chair, and would be an alt animation for Jetpack.
  12. Shadowshow, a costume design inspired by iamamiwhoami's song of the same name (Magic Dominator Dark/MA.) Edit* Sorry for the typos >.< "Kayla Melnichuk was a young, up-and-coming dancer in New York City back in 2001 when the 9-11 terrorist attacks occured. After a plane struck the first World Trade Center tower while she was in the street below, she was killed in a rain of glass. She spent the next few decades in a dark, purgatorial mirror of New York, coming to terms with her existence as one of the restless dead. Kayla eventually found a mentor who could help her transition to the next stage of existence. He taught her to master the elements of her death--gaining the ability to manifest and hurl blades of glass--and return to the living world as a Revenant--an undead being fueled by revenge. Flash forward to today. Since the perpetrators of 9-11 have long since died, Kayla, as Shadowshow, preys on violent criminals in general, hoping that she can protect others from suffering her fate."
  13. Path Polaris, a Science Radiation Blast/Regeneration Sentinel and all-around reluctant hero.
  14. The Arachnos Wolfspider Ibex hails from Phi Gamma 25-8, a dimension of anthropomorphic animals. After a volcano erupted near his home town, Portal Corps took an unusual stance and intervened, offering asylum to its inhabitants (probably with the added motivation of establishing diplomatic ties to such an unusual society). Shortly afterward, Ibex migrated to the Rogue Isles and joined Arachnos simply because his native culture values strength and competition far more than compassion for those less fortunate.
  15. The Maharathi Djinn: cantankerous, crotchety, and acerbic, he WAS planning on sleeping until the collapse of human civilization until SOMEONE just HAD to wake him up early. . . (Magic Defender Thermal/Psi)
  16. I wonder if your character has heard of Gaucho Gil https://theculturetrip.com/south-america/argentina/articles/the-untold-story-of-gaucho-gil-argentinas-legendary-cowboy/
  17. I thought to mention that there's a "post your awesome bios" thread but then I looked over there and nevermind. 😅 Personally, I write backstories for characters to help give context for why they look the way they do. A great costume produces a suspension of disbelief, helping the viewer's imagination take over. Just an opinion, but when you include a description of what the character is "actually" supposed to look like, it takes away from the costume you actually created. Anyway, the Nyghtmares sound more like NPCs. They might make cool antagonists in an Architect mission.
  18. Not much is known for certain about the mystic Mu'Khopesh save one thing--he betrayed Ghost Widow and lived. Some say he dealt in secrets mortal minds weren't meant to know and that it drove him insane. Others say he sold his soul to the devil, but the devil gave it BACK. Perhaps the most interesting rumors come from the Mu themselves--alternatively the Destined One and the Harbinger of the End Times, it is said that those who listen to his teachings either end up following him immediately or plot his death. What cannot be debated, however, is his formidable psionic power and command over the eldritch energies of the Mu. Those who know his other secrets are his loyal disciples... or are dead. (Arachnos Widow Fortunata spec with Mu Mastery)
  19. Angels are born by the Light to answer prayers, but when too many prayers go unheeded, sometimes the space between Light and Shadow births angels as well. The Angel of Tears is one such creation. Initially a formless desire to make sense of human suffering, the angel took possession of a dilapidated mausoleum statue and set out to answer the backlog of prayers. Much misunderstanding and panic ensued. Convinced that her stone shell was insufficient, the angel set out to gain power, along the way sympathizing with the Talons of Vengeance and their mad quest to punish mankind. A series of reluctant mentors, however, eventually guided the angel towards the path of the Incarnate, and after receiving the power of the Well of the Furies, she was finally able to manifest her true divine form on Primal Earth. While recognized as a defender of the innocent and zealous hunter of the guilty, the Angel of Tears has a bad reputation for draconian justice and black and white thinking. Hell hath no chill and neither does she. (Magic Controller Mind/Pain)
  20. This is, no pun intended, a stellar concept and design. ❤️
  21. Happy 2021! In the spirit of the new year, I wanted to take a look back at yesterday's tomorrow and fashion a toon loosely inspired by the original Star Trek. Maj. Lawrence Dijkstra, aka registered Powers Division agent Frozen Solace, hails from Praetorian Earth and is a member of the Imperial Defense Force dimensional security division. A freak portal accident exposed Dijkstra to absolute zero, but instead of immediately dying, he encountered the living fabric that binds the universes together--something he calls "the Whispers"--and used this newfound enlightenment to will himself back to Praetoria. Since the event, Dijkstra has been undergoing countless medical and psychological trials to further understand his connection to the Whispers and to see if others can be trained in its use. So far, however, his ability to train others have failed. Meanwhile, the more his capabilities grow, the less interested he is in the Machiavellian politics of the Praetors, and the more he yearns to explore the infinity that lies just beyond his fingertips. (Science Blaster Ice/Temporal Manipulation)
