I tend to be long winded. Would you believe it? Luckily for you folks my CoH is on a diff comp than i do almost everything else on. And I am just gonna type this on my phone….
1st) inspired by CoH. A young guy starts working out while going to comm college and working as entry level security. Night guard and stuff. He starts taking enhancers and finally steroids to make gains. He also starts drinking heavily and taking painkillers. From there he slips inti the CoH underworld and starts buying street drugs. Dyne. Oxy. Then Excelsior. And any street drugs he could get, uppers downers all-arounders. Then he found a scientist who helped him “perfect” the Exelsior-SuperaDyne mix he was using. Only problem was it left him the walking dead. But damn was he big. Serious Rage issues though. SS Invul Brute.
2nd) and very simple. Street criminal who wales up as a vampire. No idea who turned him or why. Various ATS and powersets. Dark/Invul and Dark Dark Brute mostly. Some others.
3rd) same vampire some thousand years in the future. Long since forsaken all company and delved the last 700 years through magical libraries seeking power. Reduced, by the magics he perfected, to just a skull floating around his book filled hideaway. He comes to realize that the Menders in Paragon had shrouded and enclosed a section of the space time continuum. Where there was much knowledge to be had. He animates a suit of armor and binds it to himself as a body. Then he uses most of his power to travel back through time to Paragon. Where he will discover all that is hidden. Ice/Dark/Dark Corruptor and my current main.
