This made me ridiculously happy.

"Hey, did I ever tell you about how I totally got this handled because of that one time I was trapped on an island working with government agencies and the russian mob? Well, let me tell you again..." *angst inensifies* Sorry, couldn't help myself. 😅

This is an approximate remake of a character I played on live. I've never drank a Red Bull in my life. I did, however, spend part of my childhood growing up here: The base is gone but maybe I'll re-make The Bull for real at some point.

Same guy, weirder costumes. Totally just another Resistance fighter. Power armor. Magi-tech power armor. Hello fellow Longbowses. Wouldn't want to break the color scheme.

A Loyalist trapped on Primal Earth. Fancy Dress Standard Combat Suit Assault Suit Retro duds There will be order... or else. (LN as a mo-fo)

I really like it. Not just because the costume reminds me of my crazy cyborg inspired by Cain from RoboCop 2 (all of his costumes are the same with different colors)

Havoc Forged, loyalist who received powers do to SCIENCE exposure.

I've been playing Bots/Traps for so long it's hard for me to imagine playing Bots/ any other way. There are pros and cons to the pairing just like any other.

The only examples that Eugene "Lightnin' Rodd" Rodderick Moss III had of being a bad *** was when he snuck away to watch pro wrestling as a kid. Now that he's a tough guy in real life he's following that example and it's very, very silly. Second pass at the same costume.

It's like Glen Danzig finally lost it and was about to start beating his fans senseless.

EQ2 is probably the only game I've spent close to as much time in over the years as I have in CoH. I just went off the top of my head but I think it depends a lot on the current meta as to what works best. I haven't played in some time, but back in the day my wife played Bruiser and Monk quite a bit and often complained about how fragile Monk could be. So Scrapper seemed a better fit than Tank. Either might work I think.

It's interesting how I can spend so many years using the same sets and bonuses and not readily think of different or more useful ways to apply them in an unfamiliar build. Thanks, this is very helpful.

So I did.

I wouldn't say it's my best costume, but it is one of my favorites from all the MMOs I've played in the last 20ish years. From CoV beta until sunset my main was a MM. He started as Bots/FF and after CoV went live was changed to Bots/Traps. He was a mentally disturbed idiot savant of a boy who could turn almost anything into a toy to do his bidding even if the science didn't quite line up. His part lists for his gadgets included biological resources and he didn't understand why this upset other people. Part of his inspiration was the movie "Virus", the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life", and the realization that a lot of kids in the mental health system don't get the care they need because the system resists labeling them with such disorders as borderline personality, schizoaffective, or narcissism regardless of their symptoms. More than one person told me he was difficult to RP with or that they refused to do it any more. He wanted to be a real hero but he was not cut out for it so he because a petulant and sometime murderous rogue. So, not the best looking or a hit at parties, but special to me. This is as close to his original costume I think I can get.
