  1. That's pretty much all I do, really. The Fempowered Roleplay Universe spreads out over several games and several years. In it, only the XX chromosome can have inborn super-powers. Men can be heroes and villains, they just have to Super-Soldier/Power Armour/Magic/etc their way into them. I love making variants, I love DC's Infinite Earths, so when CoH came back I decided that in Fempowered, original City of Heroes was Earth-0. The Closed Beta server is Earth-1, This is Earth-2, and Reborn is Earth-3. I also have variants from Champions and DCU Online (Earths C and D). I present my mains below, in all their multiversal glory. Flare-Star: Any other superhero games come out, the Trinity of the Fempowered verse will get made again there as well!
  2. I've largely solo'd to 50+ multiple times over the years. It is incredibly convenient and easy to just play it like a single player game with a lot of interesting costumed people also present. I actually don't team much because of my disability and physical challenges... I can't be relied upon to be present all the time in any given team. But solo play is every bit as easy as something like Skyrim or Fallout 3. EDIT TO ADD: This is simply nonsense. There is no way to play the game "properly". Log in, do something. You're playing the game properly. The only way to play it improperly is to grief or harass others. Solo? AE Farm? Publish missions and never team? Only raids? PL to 50 and Mothership all day? Just badge hunt? Just tour and take pretty screenshots? Just play dressup and do nothing but make cool costumes? You are playing the game "properly" in all these cases.
  3. I was 42 when CoH came out, a former US Navy Engineer and later DOD civilian contractor in New York. I was on disability after a stroke. I could communicate only in sign language. My wife and I had been together for 21 years and adopted my orphaned nephews, but could not legally marry. Now after a lot of hard work, therapy, and more meds than I can remember I can walk, talk, and sing again. I'm still disabled, but I can at least get around, we're legally married, and have moved to Arizona. My sons became a retail regional manager and a budding young rock star about to sign with a label. All in all, not too bad.
  4. My personal answer is that I am a hero, not a villain. I play redside to be completionist, but I feel bad about it. I'm the type of girl who would find a 100 dollar bill on the sidewalk and turn it in to the police. Volunteering, passing up contest entries for things someone else might need more, losing sleep on worknights to help friends and strangers who need someone to talk to. I live my life literally, by the codes of Superman, The Green Lantern Corps, and Starfleet. (Note: This does drive my slightly less Paladin-style wife nuts on occasions, like when I help tidy store shelves or return carts for people, pick up tabs for strangers in trouble at the grocery store, donate all my change, etc). As I once saw posted... "Why do people play good guys in no-consequence games?" "Because my ultimate power fantasy is being able to help everyone."
