Ha ha, awesome. He's got the presence down pat - max height plus the thunderhead & the cowl makes him super imposing.

 

Edit: wasn't happy with the original name I'd chosen, so thinking on this I tried my luck, and... he is IMPOSITION.

Agile, sure-footed, tough, and head-strong, she's "The Rambot":

(And, yes... I know a "Ram" is a male sheep.  😛 )

What those horns do with that helmet is AMAZING.

Darn you biostem!

 

You got me thinking of ram-horned characters and now I have put together a costume for a character I have not even built:

 

 

There does not seem to be sufficient love of Malaise in costume designs. I am leaning towards a Super Strength Brute concept involving mystical armor.

 

But don't think I am forgetting you are to blame biostem!

These costumes really do emphasize the need for a "Headbutt" powerset, though.

The Malaise pattern works well on everything!

I wouldn't mind if they just gave us a Headbutt alternate animation option for a couple powersets.

Would be cool for Empathy. BAM! status effect removed. BAM! resurrected.

I was thinking substitutes for some of the melee attacks.

No no no!  Obviously it'd be an alternate way to upgrade your thugs minions...

What's next?  Ranged headbutt?

HEALSCREAM (EMP/SONIC DEFENDER)... My idea of coming back to an empathy Defender (was my main hero in Pinnacle), trying to stay true to my original hero.

I have a sufficiently large stable of characters I want to play up languishing in their 30s and 40s that I really should not have done it, but I really wanted to try an SS/Bio Brute. As I noted upthread, most times I decide on the character I want to play, put together a workable outfit, and usually later, if the character seems like one I want to play past level 21, I usually return and give the costume some reconsideration. So odd are the following will not be the character's final costume. Even so, I am currently pretty happy with it because (a) I got that blasted chest piece to work finally and (b) the colors....

 

I'd started out with very different colors, then thinking on the background for the character it occurred to me to do an homage to the Argentinian flag. I think the colors work really well together.

 

 

Not sure if I am going to name him Birthright or Unconquerable. Which one do you think is the better name?

What is the background of the character?

I usually try to tie to CoH lore, but in this case I am pulling from real world history. Its a dark and recent chapter of history:

I wonder if your character has heard of Gaucho Gil https://theculturetrip.com/south-america/argentina/articles/the-untold-story-of-gaucho-gil-argentinas-legendary-cowboy/

Some people enjoy cleaning up the mess that villains make of Paragon City... others enjoy making a mess while they fight crime:

 

Litter Lass

Gravity Control / Martial Assault Dominator

 

[TygerDarkstorm]

Revamped my savage/bio brute. She is now Cutsie Wutsie, a shapeshifter who has made it her goal to be as cute as possible outside of combat in order not to terrify the human citizens of Paragon City and to prove to them she's there to help. She's also found that she rather enjoys the attention that comes from looking "cutsie wutsie" and now tends to prefer assuming more cute-like shifted forms, with the exclusion of her 6ft tallish monstrous combat form. (Edit: Only have the 2 forms atm; still need to add more to her repertoire.)

Impressive story. I would not sully it by claiming any tie to it.

Introducing Soulburst (looking for a better name, TBH), a blind martial artist and former member of the Tsoo, who uses his mastery of Chi to "perceive" the world around him, and fight the criminals of Paragon City! (Kinetic Melee/Energy Aura Stalker)

(Pretty blatant hommage to characters such as Iron Fist or Daredevil, but I really wanted to make a Kin/ martial artist)

Aping off of my "Rambot", I present to you her magical counterpart - "The Ruby Ram":
