[Time to revamp Sister Psyche tf?]

Also, see the events of Who Will Die?, Episode 6 (Specialist Greer, 40-50).

[Themed TF/SF Saturdays]

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:

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.).

 

Perfect.  That's kinda what I meant by this.  On Live, I recall the default was the first character name was your global unless you changed it, but maybe on HC it's a little less set in stone.

I have a ghosty toon that I have readied for this: Shade Queen (War Mace / Electric Brute). With this being the easter weekend, I am not yet 100% sure if I will be home for Theme Team on saturday, though.

 

Cool, @Bananiac.  I've put you in as a maybe.

Apologies, but I'm not feeling well this morning, so I need to drop out.

 

@TygerDarkstorm and @Purple Enchantress, I don't know if you still want to do the theme, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest this week.

Nature works too.

Oh, that's interesting.  My first idea was to do something based on the Navajo nation or Cherokee due to their status as sovereign nations but dismissed it due to being loophole abuse in getting around "Captain America".  Still worth setting aside for a future idea.

 

"Not America or Britain" is mainly so no one gets generic'ed or reported.  I don't know how strictly @Bananiac intended the suggestion to be, but I'm not terribly rigid as long as it can be connected to theme.

Oh, for the "Captain {Nation}" one, can the nation be fictional or no longer existing? It's either Captain Carcosa or Captain Malay States or Captain Malaysia here.

 

Should be okay.

That's sooner than I thought it would be added.  But I hadn't done a Wikipedia dive in a while and now I've got ideas.  I'll try to be ready in time.

 

I started mine just after posting the theme:  Kapten Sverige (Captain Sweden) - Energy/Shield Stalker.  Happily, that WST only requires level 20.

World of Captains - Pick a Nation, make a Captain!

 

Obviously you need Shield Defense, and any type of Melee Powerset you think will fit the theme.

And don't bring the American guy! Look somewhere else! Naturally, we should have each nation only once! (*)

 

Cool idea!  I had one theme for April I wasn't quite sure about, so I'll put it on the schedule.  Now I have to make a shield character! 🙂 

 

Since I think I have themes for April, I won't keep them secret:

• 5 Apr - “First Contact Day” - Alpha Strike (Apex, Level 50) - alien costumes (not necessarily Star Trek), any AT/powers
• 12 Apr - “World of Captains” - Pirates of the Skies (Silver Mantis, Level 20-25) - Shield Defense powerset, pick a nation and make their Captain (not America or Britain, for trademark reasons)
• 19 Apr - “Spectre of the Deep” - Temple of the Waters (Operative Renault, Level 25-30) - pirates and ghosts - any AT/powers
• 26 Apr - “Anniversary Celebration!” (24 Apr is HC’s 6th anniversary and 28 Apr is COH’s 21st) - The Crystal of Seraphina (Ice Mistral, Level 35-40) - Bring your global-named character in your original costume!
