TygerDarkstorm

I highly recommend trying out the /Marine secondary, especially with a primary like Fire. Quite a few folks here have made monsters out of Fire/Marine controllers. Fire/Nature should also be a decent combo for something different. For those mentioning Fire/Dark, this is probably a decent starting point:

I hope to be there on Voltarra - Electric Blast/Ninja Blaster

Haha, nice! I unfortunately will have to miss next week since I have a craft show. I'll have to catch that theme another time.

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

Apologies for misunderstanding your initial comment. I don't recall how hard they said it was to modify the animation for direct strike, so I agree that we're not likely to see this happen, at least not without someone who'd want to be dedicated to modifying animations so they can be proliferated as options for sets.

I just want to point out that the devs are capable of modifying these things if they so choose. Direct Strike from Storm Blast is actually a modified power animation that @Player-1 created and as I recall from when it was in closed beta, we messed about with the timing of it. I'm not saying it wouldn't be hard or a pain given this game's code, but I do think it could be possible if the dev team decided they wanted to give multiple blast sets the option for eye blasts. I'm not sure the likelihood of actually getting eye beams for other blast sets because of the work involved to change the animation times (as like you said, it's not a simple port and things will need to be tweaked), but I do think it would be cool to have them as an option if the team were to find a way to make it happen.

That second one is very blatant and you will be lucky if it doesn't get generic'd, especially posting it here.

Aye, I had originally started the server as TygerDarkstorm since that was my first character on Live; but I was never happy with how I was remaking her and changed my global to Valnara, and since I guess it existed, it turned to Valnara1. ^_^

If you browse around, you'll see that any major changes for Khelds are not likely to happen until the dev team is able to figure out some way to fix the changeling exploit. You're also not likely going to get a direct dev response here--they don't tend to reply to these threads. I can't imagine that they would add more attacks/abilities to Nova/Dwarf form, but never say never I suppose. Also, as an aside, if you want to stay "in the know" of what the devs are cooking up for HC, I believe applications for closed beta are open.

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. 🙂

I didn't say anyone was arguing against it. I specifically said that was all most of the posts were focused on rather than contributing to the actual subject of an insect primary.

Everybody's way too focused on the least relevant part about how you can make the existing MM primaries heroic. MM's have the least amount of primaries, I would love for them to get a new one, and insects would be interesting. Would be neat to see the idea more fleshed out.

To add to this, I'm not well versed in comics, but could it be possible to do a villains of the world theme?

Thanks! I saw the prompt says pirate or ghost and since the character is a being of energy, I figured ghost works out for this one. 🙂

Love seeing everyone's bios from the shield theme! Great theme suggestion @Bananiac! I decided who I will bring next week @FrauleinMental. I will be there on Illusionary Sora - Illusion/Energy Dominator.

Please list me as TBD for this one. I have a few different flavors of pirates and am not sure which one to bring just yet.

Thanks Ban! And no, nothing serious--just an outpatient surgery because one of my ovaries decided to go a little crazy lol.

I'm going to direct you to @Sovera's thread where they've spent a lot of time working on this combo: This might at least give you a baseline to play with 🙂

I actually will be able to make this one now! I'm having surgery Wednesday and after talking to my mom about it, I'm thinking the craft show I was originally going to be doing won't be a good idea, so I'll be home for this. I plan to bring Capitan Mexico - Dark Melee/Shield Scrapper

Considering I said the lack of AoE is why I haven't rolled an MA stalker? I would say yes. I'm not pressed either way whether the devs decide to implement this or not. Someone is *always* going to be bummed out when the devs change a set--it doesn't mean that the change was bad, necessarily. Even if MA got an AoE, it's not like people who like being single target focused can't still do that.

I agree. I think one of the reasons I haven't wanted to try MA on a stalker is because it has zero AoE abilities.

I know stalkers are often considered the ST specialists, but I wouldn't be totally opposed to stalker MA getting one of its ST attacks removed in favor of an AoE attack.

Many, if not most, of my theme team toons come and visit from Everlasting since it's my home shard. Also, I will have to miss the next two weekends, which stinks because the themes are fun, but real life be real lifing. So Captain Mexico will be available if anyone wants it since I have to miss the shield theme.

Your nails look great @kieraoona! I don't typically paint my own because I suck at it, but I do like to wear press ons from time to time. One of my favorite sets I did was from Glamnetics and when cool, they're a maroon color, but when they get warm, they turn into the Marauder's Map.

Got my character made for Saturday; I will be there on Tiny Birb - Street Justice/Ninjitsu Stalker
