Clave Dark 5 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 6 hours ago, Trike said: I definitely think you achieved your goal, and it’s one of the more subtle designs to get that effect. The first thing I do on 99% of my female characters is to decrease the chest to its lowest and shrink the legs. For most of them I also increase the waist for the same reason you’ve given. Otherwise they look like they’ve had ribs removed. I definitely have a type of body I make all my characters to, which not the weirdly bloated with muscles archetype that 90s comics made ubiquitous (it's like no one remembers Megaton Man made the superheros look that way as a joke!). No one's 7 seven feet tall (unless maybe they're weird ghosts or something), no one's hulked out so much they wouldn't fit through a real-world doorway, etc. and my women toons are all as you described too. They're all just people. 1 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Mjolnerd Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 So, @Player2 was kind enough to post about having let go of the name Boobytrap on Excelsior today, and I had to snap it up. It's such a great name! And there was really only one direction to go in with a name like that, as on-the-nose as it might be. Sure, it's silly, and obvious, and maybe a little juvenile, but I couldn't not do it... what else could I possibly make with that name other than a Traps defender with two very... prominent assets. Please don't stare. My eyes are up here. 6 2 Formerly of Virtue, now on Excelsior: Ace of Spades | Adamant Eve | Arch-Rival | The Bee | Blackbelt | Citizen Arcane | Core | Ctrl Alt Defeat | Daddy Longlegs | Diamant Drop Dead Gorgeous | Cyber-Security | Freak Accident | Galactrix | Great White Shark | Heavy Machinery | Highway Star | The Howl | Inter-Galactica | Ion Maiden Knockout Artist | Krakatoa | Night's Templar | The Pact | Paroled McDonald | Virtual Boy | Volcaniac | White Widow | Yucatan And my most recent 50, Doctor Roswell (Psychic Blast/Atomic Manipulation blaster, 16 August 2024) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biostem Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Here's one I played around with to be a sort of "Medieval hero transplanted into modern day". I'm not 100% on the armor color, but I didn't just want to do a generic silver/grey.

Pretty hard to come up with a good speedster name these days. Not too sure about the color of the boots, though... I might switch to white and grey instead.

Why not do both, keep this bright orange and also make a grey one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also want to look at changing the black part to orange, to see if that works. I like the Sport boots/gloves because of the way they break up colors like that. I have to restrain myself from using them in every other costume. 😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
