  1. Maria is so disappointed in them Congratulations, you two! This is now in my head cannon! It's like perfect family dynamic for "City of _" Got a little bit of everything with those three!
  2. I have a couple of head cannons, On Blueside the contacts Indigo and Crimson are job titles rather than individual people. There are the two "public" faces, that are the contacts for Heroes. Then there are the handful of Indigo class agents that are out and about gathering all the intel and then the handful of Crimson class agents that are using that intel for various black ops projects. I remember coming to that conclusion a couple years ago, when I kept running into missions where I had to kidnap or kill Indigo or Crimson and I kept thinking "Hold on, Didn't I just do that yesterday? How can there be more than One?" My other head cannon is that "Incarnate" also doubles as a power or threat designation. "The Well" doesn't fit into most people's origin stories or background or even where they want to take their character. For example, Midnight Thorn didn't drink from the well, but because of her intellect, experience, and her technological prowess, she's considered an "Incarnate Class" Villain. She has the potential for mass destruction or create a pocket realm/dimension or just cause Longbow/Malta/whoever to have really, really, really, bad day. Thankfully she has no interest in taking over the world, nor does she leave the isles much.
  3. PCU - Library Meg appears to be in her late 20's or early 30's. When she's standing, she's around 5'7" or 5'8". She's a brunette, on the darker side with shoulder length hair pulled back into a pony tail. Her features are lovely enough but wouldn't stand out in a crowd. In fact the only really non average thing about Meg are her eyes, the irises area pleasant violet color. The professor is wearing a white tank top with a sturdy belt, khaki pants, and a pair hiking boots. The boots have a thick tread look worn but well cared for, save for few spots that look scorched on the surface. She has the aforementioned satchel slung over her shoulder. And a light weight but sturdy jacket tied about her waist. "I'm not really a librarian, but I do know that a book of fiction isn't usually shelved in the periodicals section." Meg's smile turns from warmth to a professionally pleasant smile. "I'm not really an adventurer, Liv. My life pretty much revolves around Volcanoes and the study of them. Besides, I rarely have free time, and I have an obligation to dash off when a country requests the assistance of my team." Rather than accepting the handshake, Meg takes a step back to assess the situation.
  4. PCU - Library Professor Coburn grins as she continues to remove books and stacking them neatly. "Hey Liv, I'm Professor Coburn, afraid dancing's not my thing." Once the books are stacked to the side, Meg takes a couple steps back, giving Liv room too get up on her own. "Are you looking for "Treasure Island"? It's been a while since I've read it and I think there was a map in it. But If you're looking for an actual Diary of treasure maps, I got nothing." After a pause she adds. "What shelf was that book on?"
  5. PCU - Library A loud cascade of books falling has Meg out of her comfy chair in a heartbeat. The professor takes a beat to identify where the sound came from and if there are other dangers she should be aware of. By habit her canvas satchel is slung over her shoulder as she moves towards the sounds of the books falling. "Crap." Meg kneels near the red hair and starts to carefully remove books from the downed person. The professor speaks softly as she works "Hey, Hey! Hey? Are you OK? Can you move your fingers and toes? What's your name?" Though her voice is soft in volume, its timber is rich and warm. Concern is written in her violate eyes and across her furrowed brow.
  6. ((Sorry about the abrupt silence. RL had to take priority for a while.)) PCU - Library Professor Coburn lounges comfortably in a reading chair in the periodicals section, A copy of the latest "Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research" lays open on her lap. On the table next to her stands a reading lamp and a lidded thermal container of some sort of beverage. At her feet rests a worn canvas satchel that has a few singed spots and for those with sensitive noses, smells faintly of sulfur and ash. A generic ringtone emerges from the canvas bag at her feet and the professor moves with the reflexes one develops when avoiding falling rocks is a basic life saving skill. With a guilty expression and a quiet, "Sorry!" she digs out her cell and silences it. A slight frown appears on Meg's face and after a quick text she turns her phone off and slips it back into her satchel. One stretch and drink of her beverage later, Meg's back to reading her Journal.
  7. This is fantastic! Will you be doing the other three Horsemen as well?
  8. Nobody quit the TF. We were still 8/8 at that point. But it's good to know that that's a known problem!
  9. Yesterday I was on this Citadel TF and the second to the last mission repeated itself. We had to log off and log back in for the mission to register as completed and assign us the next mission. Today, I'm on a Synapse and the 3rd mission did the same thing. Repeated itself. We all logged for a minute, this time the mission didn't register as competed and repeated itself. Update: The location was the same, mission title the same. Different named boss. Mission completed and taskforce continued on as normal.
  10. This is exactly how I found out. Scrolling through imgur after midnight one winter night in 2019. Couldn't believe my eyes when I went to check it out and found Homecoming. I sat on it a few months to see if it was too good to be true. Since it didn't seem like it was going to go away anytime soon, I signed up and here we are.
  11. Radio Free Opportunity would be the perfect voice. With cheeky commentary by TV. Red side Represent!
  12. That is my main grip about starting in Praetoria. Teaming is odd and weird. And at one point, everybody will have to split off to do their own personal mission. If they want to advance their chosen path through Praetoria.
  13. The sewers are all very "samey" and Looooooong to me. Ghouls, I have the worst time getting them to leave their dying friends, so I end up having to kill them twice. And Clocks, well, I end up doing a lot of Psi stuff when in Praetoria. Strange how that works, huh? My first Praetorian was a Psi/Psi Dom. Mostly because I wanted to see if Mother was going to come after me, and if there was going to be a separate arc addressing why my character wasn't in the seer network and "Under Control". Since everyone knows that psi people are half a step away from losing control, and only Mother and her seers can control psi active people. For the good of Praetoria. So Mother tells us. <.<
  14. When doing gold side, I always end up running the Loyalist Power arc. I don't enjoy the sewers and there's just too much of that when going Resistance. I keep saying I'm going to try the resistance and the Loyalist Responsibility, And then I hit my limit for sewers, ghouls, and clockwork. When I get out of Praetoria I always tell myself "Oh, when I'm 50, I'll go do all the arcs through Ouro!" As of today, I never have! I'll probably get around to it in the future!
  15. I had forgotten about this, so I'm late to the party! My first set was 72, 59, 26 I could go 72 low for Scrapper or 72 high for Sentinel. I did both. Scrapper - Psi Melee/Energy Aura Sentinel - Fire Blast/Energy Aura The dice really wanted me to have Energy Aura! My second set 22, 18, 56 Controller - Earth/Ice My third set 8, 1, 77 It sounds like a birthday for a proof of age on a website. Blaster - Archery/Plant And then I realized, I wasn't using the table that included epic AT's. I like Kheldian's and Soldiers. Soo I used that chart and using the same rolls, things changed a little. First set, 72, 59, 26 Tank - Radiation/Electric Melee Second Set, 22, 18, 56 Corrupter - Dark Blast (Jackpot!)/Radiation. Third Set, 8, 1, 77 Brute - Battle Axe/Stone Armor (Bonus Roll! - 97) Brute - Battle Axe/Willpower And thus, The Wish Witch a Dark Blast/Radiation Emission Corrupter was born!
  16. A tired looking woman steps from the car, the ride share app on her phone automatically giving the driver a generous tip before she's even fully out of the car. Still she manages a weary smile, "Thanks Joe. You didn't have to pull my equipment, I'd have gotten it." She automatically slings her laptop bag and a rather battered leather satchel over one shoulder and pops the handle up of the very large roller bag that was pulled from the trunk. "Awe, common Meg. You're my best tipper, I got your back. Wish I couldda dropped your closer to your office. How long was your flight anyway? 8-9 hours?" Joe looks up the street at the evacuating people. He shades his eyes as if that will help him see farther or clearer. "But there's some sort of commotion. You know the rules." He gives Meg an unhappy look. "More like 15 hours and yeah, I know. Can't drive anybody into an active scene." She reaches up and gives a wave. "Way things are going, I'll probably have to take another long flight next week." Joe snorts a laugh as he slips back behind the wheel. "Swear, I'm the only driver that clears his schedule when volcanoes start popping off. See you around, Professor." *** Several minutes later, Meg finds herself passing through a courtyard and half a building from her office. She's thinking about how she'll store and secure the equipment bag, and crash on the cot she keeps in her office. She's thinking about cataloging and sorting through the data in the morning when the concussive wave lifts her and slams her into the side of a building. She's not thinking about anything when the blast wave embeds a dumpster into the wall not even a foot from her. Meg has no idea how long she's been out. She just knows that there's hellfire pouring into the sky and everything is eerily muffled. It takes her several trys to stand up and several attempts to gather her gear. She spends several minutes searching for her ballcap, while registering the muffled sounds of sirens. Once she's collected her gear Meg just stands there looking a little lost. The sirens grow louder and closer and it finally occurs to Meg that maybe, just maybe, she should move away from whatever just happened or may still be happening. Autopilot gets her to her lab. Habit gets her gear stowed. Stubbornness gets her to her office. Exhaustion has her sprawled on her cot in a dead sleep. Air currents and the changing pressure in the building cause Meg's office door to swing partially open. Neat lettering on the frosted glass proclaims her claim to this office and lab space. Meg Coburn, PhD. Professor of Geology and Volcanology.
  17. Asides from the Rogue Isles being their own sovereign nation and having ties to other nations, there are a couple of other factors too. The biggest one being, the Rogue Isles also has a treaty with the United States. There's a plaque in Warburg that's part of the "Arachnos Rising" history badge that mentions it. "Warburg is a symbol of Arachnos' strength. The city is dedicated to the many faceless soldiers who have given their lives to the cause of our benevolent dictator during the Arachnos Revolution of 1964. Warburg was once protected by a ring of nuclear-tipped rockets capable of striking both North America and Europe, but those were removed under an extortive 'treaty' with Paragon City in 1982. " https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Arachnos_Rising_Badge A few other considerations for why they don't get invaded, Aeon Corp is an international mega corp. Arachnos has under the table deals with various villain groups (Hello Malta!), And Arachnos has blackmail on several US politicians. (There's a wonderful story arc in St. Martial about that.) Speaking of St. Martial, with all the casinos there, /alot/ of money flows through that Island. And as long as Recluse gets his cut, he doesn't care what a person does with it. Off book Black Ops and Money Laundering dream lands. For some reason, I always thought that Arachnos and the Isles were members of the UN. But for the life of me, I can't find any references to that. Perhaps that just popped into my head because of the treaty thing referenced in the plaque and the fact that there's a very large, very not hidden Longbow base in the middle of Nerva that Arachnos seems content to allow to continue existing.
  18. How it started: A baby, villain controller rolled on Indom. How it's going: A middling, rogue controller rolled on Everlasting. I often play my side projects at odd hours, late night, early morning, and that no man's land between lunch and supper. It was difficult to get groups on Indom during those times, so I retreated back to Everlasting. This is Sorores Nocte just hanging out at Aeon University in Cap au Diable.
  19. I've been reunited with my computer, yay! Time to do some rolls, I'm using the chart with the Epic AT's from the calendar posting. Here we go! Roll 1 14 - Controller 67 - Illusion 72 - Storm Oh..Oh my. This could be wonderfully Chaotic. Roll 2 49 - Scrapper 76 - Spines 26 - EA I do love a good scrapper! I've not played a spines set since live. Hmmm Roll 3 90 - Soldier 93 - Bane n/a Hmmm..I've never made a Bane before, could be interesting! This is Sorores Noct, an Ill/Storm controller. I couldn't resist that combo! She's rolled on Indom, we'll see how this goes!
  20. I love this! I'll defiantly be participating when i get back from my current trip! Can't wait to get back into game! Most likely later next week.
  21. I'd probably live is Cap au Diable, specifically around the University. Streets are quiet, and Arachnos doesn't patrol there. There's a Vanguard base and a Midnighters Mansion, and an occasional Lightening demon to keep things interesting. I could store my money in a Vault, that's probably the safest, since I've never seen one get robbed. The ferry is really close by, incase I want to go grab a Nick's dog. I'd probably just walk into the University and social hack my way onto the payroll. Do it long enough for a staff turnover and no one will question or remember or care that I technically was never interviewed or hired.
  22. *Sneaks back into the thread!* It's been a while and I thought I'd try my hand at a Hero Costume, with tights and everything! Usually I go for a look that's anything but tights! I'm really, really digging this look! Please allow me to introduce, Twilight Ibis, a Dark/Martial blaster!
  23. Sine Language is an amazing name! It's been turned into a Beam Rifle/Time Corr. Thank you for this amazing name!
  24. In the first year or so of the Tower, we were looking to get some Hero vs Arachnos group rivalries going. We kept running in to the same problem, none of the Hero groups we contacted or who contacted us ever wanted to lose beyond the "We Heroes didn't ask for this, we're just chilling in our base and you evil villains came and blew us up/kidnapped/killed" thing that would give them every reason to smash down the Tower. None of them ever wanted to be the aggressors or even remotely in the wrong. We were wanted as a punching bag to advance their SG storylines, but they weren't willing to help advance our VG storylines. Eventually, we just stopped looking for a Hero group to be our arch nemesis. In the very early days there was a thread or two that had views from all sides the Hero vs Villain RP situation.
