Excelsior seemed more fitting to me, being named in tribute to a storyteller (and doubling as a reference to an in-lore drug), but I'm also just fine only using it to make a bunch of "Stan Lee Presents" over-alliterated AU versions of my characters.

We might have a lot to talk about! I played the Androgyne - we actually met once on a PuG around the launch of Issue 10 and chatted about the possibility of bringing the character into Nation way back then, funnily enough. The timing never quite worked out, but the character still wound up there the long way: after a Vanguard-aided reform and years spent blueside, RP brought em into contact with remnants of Nation in 2011. Androgyne spent the last year of the game stirring the movement from dormancy, rehabilitating its reputation, and recruiting new and old blood, before formally assuming the role of Exarch the day after the shutdown announcement. Nation ended the game on a high note by squeaking into a non-state observer seat at the U.N. General Assembly, and a bunch of us have kept some measure of Nation's Virtue continuity going via forums and IMs over the years, as well as a short-lived reboot in Champions.

3 would be more than a little extreme, but maybe 36 or 48? I think one of those was the maximum you could buy up to before shutdown. Something reasonably generous but still restrictive enough to discourage people from wasting their limited amount of slots on inconveniencing others.

I SEE PEOPLE I KIND OF KNOW. @AlwaysAPrice on live, just @Ani here for now, primarily of the League of Misfits, the Reciprocators, and Nation. Helped admin VirtueVerse (...I should really look into where that's gone...) and had lots of fun with Virtue's swarm of IC Formspringers, who I see some of here (DBF!).

Seeing "Slots Used: 0/1000" on the select screen maybe made me drool a little, but if the character cap isn't lowered SIGNIFICANTLY for the "live" launch (if this isn't it) a lot of names are probably going to end up taken out of circulation by collectors and trolls.
