@Sparrows Very Good costumes my friend. Are you Brazilian?

One Way, Archery/TA blaster. Wanted a way to integrate the bow into the prostetic arm somehow.

My favorites so far...

Chronic Pain & Empirical are healers, pretty fun to play in PvP.

Riot Control, Hazardeath, and Fire Guard are farmers that I love playing (though Riot is no longer in the rotation).

Pomerium is a character I keep in Cimerora to play through that content or rerun Imperious.

Glacier Peak is my main and badge collecting character.

Will you reroll Riot Control when we finally get a Riot Grenade Control Set?

Yeah, that's the plan. I played him to vet level 45, but I started to not like Spines. Keeping him for the name/costume for when or if it drops.

Here's one I put together recently.  I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to go with her, other than "not high tech armor", lol!  I quite like the color scheme, and I kind of get a "Phantom" vibe from the costume.  Regardless, I present to you, "Gale Beyond the Pale":

Hell Crown - Fire/Time Controller

Bloodstream - Water/Regen Sentinel

Master Druid - Plant/Dark Controller

Forgefather may be the best concept use of the Celestial Aura that I've seen, outside of its original costume use.  I really get the sense of some sort of heat venting from his equipment.

I agree with you , the smoke aura could be used too I think but this Celestial Aura fit perfectly

I actually use the Celestial Aura (Body - Combat) colored pure white on my Peacebringer (who I have in white armor) so it looks like her Kheldian power is manifesting above and beyond the use of her powers in Human form.

Thank you!  I actually went through almost every aura testing each one to find the one that best conveyed heat and ventilation.   Celestial came out the best I think, though there were a couple others that also did a fairly good job.  Originally I only had it coming from his hands..which looks a bit cleaner, but it is also less noticeable.  I eventually put it to come from the shoulders as well because it just looks cooler(hotter) 😄

Two new costume alternates for Evo-Man:

So Overstrike was my main villain back on Live, a bots/traps mastermind.   I've definitely made some updates to the looks (here's the old Virtueverse page for a brief comparison) but also took advantage of the costume slots to have level-appropriate wear.  Since she hit 40 this weekend it seemed a good time to put this post together.

 

Also how much the same face can look different messing around with mask, goggle, and makeup options.

 

When you're fresh out of the Zig with salvaged equipment and told to go kill some Snakes, you make do with stuff that is tough wearing and stain resistant over fashion.  The green is, sadly, an attempt to spice up looks but you really can't trust labels on the Isles.

 

 

Establishing a small name as more than just a small-time thug, piecemeal acquisition of better equipment has led to the base of the later aesthetic.

 

 

And Overstrike finally takes stock and starts working on tech synergy and branding a bit.  A proper battlesuit!  It's a bit bulky and also Overstrike finally found some better hair dye.

 

 

A slimmer, more cohesive model with a more tech way of keeping a cape aesthetic with less snagging and gloves that are easier to type in.  Man it looks good in the design stage but Arachnos keyboard designs are enough pain without having to hunt-and-peck.

 

 

  Easy access to Vanguard tech and dabbling with secrets culled from world-shaking threats allows the utter tech smugness of completely thrusterless flight.  The wings are more radiators than stabilizers but when you've made Arachnos blink, no one laughs if you go to the trouble of making them flap.

 

 

The power of the incarnates can be subtle, but when bringing your A-game against dark Gods and psychotic demigods, you might as well let all that power tweak your looks.

I created another character that I am not sure what she would be. I am leaning towards a non granite tanker with gem armor.

Really striking!  How about stone melee (use the geode models) and radiation armor?  Kind of seems appropriate...  Cheers!

Inspired by your character, I also created a new one.  I present to you, "The Vextress":

Have you ever considered piracy playing a Warshade ...?

Squeel - My War Mace and Dark Armor Brute. He uses the Carnival Hammer to deliver his "off-brand" of justice!

I played CoH before they introduced CoV. I played a long time ago. You used to have to get to level 20 to go on a "cape mission" to earn a cape. I had done that with my first iteration of Brother Mercy (the guy in the faceless mask), earned my cape, and never got a chance to play again.

 

Fast forward to a handful of years ago, rediscovered it when it was free to play, managed to make a couple toons, level them okay, then it went away. Again.

 

So now it's back (thank you all for making this possible), I've started back up again, trying to recreate some of my favorite characters (and a new one here and there). Bear-Wolf seems to be my current fave with Felix Valentin, Gentleman Adventurer close behind. They also happen to be my favorite looking characters (and in the same order) in the game. All are based on comic book and/or short story characters I created, even have a couple books for sale on Amazon if anyone is interested.

So since I've been working from home the past few months, I've taken to watching a lot of upcycling/repurposing videos online.  Thus, I give you "Upcycling Ulla":

Sitting at level 48, on her way to becoming my next level 50, is Teardrops! She's a petite goth fairy who also happens to be a SS/Inv brute. She is also the only one of my current 95 alts who doesn't have a signature color scheme. She has a wardrobe, and wears what suits her mood.

 

 

Hmm, I see I need to fix her skin color on a couple of those. She should be chalky white in all of them.
