I passed by this a few times while traveling through Ouro on the 3rd. I wondered what was going on. I guess now I have an answer...
My condolences to the family.

That said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with developing a body of personal lore to serve as a backstory or shared backstory for your characters, and have it interface at some point with game lore.
Good to know! Thanks!

NPC dialogue in the last mission of ITF them chatting about Atlantis I swear.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I remember reading something about that being an oversight of the original developers.

I prefer, instead, to look at my changes as introducing new pieces of lore, than everyone else can accept or ignore at their leisure
Awesome way of thinking about it. Thanks for sharing!

As far as breaking CoX lore - I feel you would not actually be doing that and even if you did, not a big deal. Any toon running around with a certain look, name or backstory is already doing that. Nice of you to be considerate of it though. 🙂
Fair point. Thank you.

we create here
That was my train of thought as well. I decided to ask around first just to get some feedback on any rules I may have missed.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

Hi there.
Looking for opinions here.
So, I have an idea for an Atlantean character, already picked out the powersets, pool powers, epic pools and the like. I even have a very nice idea of what the general appearance and costume of this character would look like. For the background of the character, however, I wanted to mold them around the lore of CoH on the concept of Atlantis. I did a little digging and came to find out that the original developers stated that Atlantis doesn't exist in the CoH universe. Which begs the question: Would I be breaking any rules set by Paragon Studios or the Homecoming team by claiming that this character hails from Atlantis? Would it be considered lore-breaking if I claimed the character was from Atlantis?
Thanks.

My take on it for instance is that not every post or bit of dialogue needs some described action or emote to accompany it, but including these things can help convey things about a character's personality and emotions that the simple dialogue alone might not.
I never thought about it like that. Thank you for the info.

This helps. Thank you.

Lately, I've wanted to get into RP.
I've dabbled in the past, a few people I've met here and there that managed to build a compelling story with me. I loved those moments, they're some of the fondest memories I have of CoH. But that was on Live.
From an outsider perspective, getting into RP seems like an exclusive club. Like it's difficult to break through that initial barrier and get the most out of the RP experience. It seems, to me at least, that many RPers are one of two things: Team formers that dominate with an iron fist (meaning if you don't RP "correctly" or the way they want you to, they will immediately kick you off of a team and ban you from joining again) or are all powerful interdimensional beings, literal gods, or an unstoppable cosmic entity with zero weaknesses. These kind of people are not fun to be around.
Where are the people that RP classic heroes? The ones that have secret identities, dual-lives, a romantic interest, and an arch-enemy? The ones that are incredibly powerful, yes, but have a fatal flaw or weakness that challenges them on a daily basis? Or the powerless vigilante that's dedicated him/herself to protecting the little guy? Or the alien with nostalgia for their home planet?
Another question I have is wording. By this I mean, is it really necessary to add the extra descriptive actions? As an example:
"Mary Jane glanced at the warm cup of coffee in her hand and cracked a faint smile. 'I don't know, Spider-Man. You tell me.'"
Is the part in Italics necessary to effectively communicate with other RPers? I always assumed dialogue and the occasional emote was enough. Would regular RPers recommend I get comfortable with the descriptive actions I wrote above?
I suppose these questions seem more like complaints, but I'm genuinely curious. I want to know if I'm looking at RP wrong or if there are like-minded individuals out there.
Let me know.
Thanks.

I enjoyed the group. What happened to it?
Where did all the Vampires go?

I saw one toon the other day that was based off the Tremere Clan from VTM. Can't remember if they were part of a vampire-specific supergroup though.
I must say, however, it was quite the collision of universes to stumble upon a Tremere in Paragon City.
Might have been Phoebus, now that I read through some of the additional comments:
