Digging this one a lot. What's his profile look like, with those ears, the lower face part and antennae?  Also, those shoulders: I recognize the pads (I forget what they're called, but I do), but there's a spiked version of them too?

[Six-Six]

Wow, thanks Clave. Like I said, he just kinda "evolved". I was working on another concept, but things just started going a totally different direction. I particularly like how the Receivers and Corsair mouthpiece flow into each other. The shoulders is called Post Appocalyptic, then a dropdown for the spiked version. Haven't really fleshed out the write up. His name is a nod to Rats of NIMH [National Institute of Mental Health] which left a mark on me as a kid (an entire epoch ago haha--specially that one scene when they're just about to enter the bush hideout with the huge rat guard with electric arrowhead spear). So yeah, he's a lab rat gone awry and I suppose out for revenge or redemption. The entire savage + beast stance thing just really works for him; but I'm leaning towards Bio's powers for the concept. Anyhoo, definitely planning to brave Grandville right off the bat to get Sewer Dweller badge.

You could also go through the Paragon City sewer map if you're not adverse to switching sides and pick up "Sewer King" for this fine fellow (my TRASH GHOST wears that one, for lack of anything better).  I didn't know those pads had a spiked version, thanks, good to know!

Nice designs 👍

@Clave Dark 5 update: Tried getting the Sewer Dweller in Grandville at level 1. Must've died a dozen times haha. It was a fun challenge, but I kinda gave up. Thanks for the tip. I got Sewer King instead. 😃 

I've decided to play him as an über-gimped toon. No training. So I only have T1 primary and secondary, sprint, health, stamina and brawl with 1 slot each (I don't even have access to Rest). Because, you know... he's a failed experiment, not a super hero/villain. Once I get to 50, maybe I'll give him other powers on a secondary build. 😃

Not sure getting him deep into the sewers will be any easier unless he's a stalker.  😃

Sewer King is right at the entrance if you go in KR. 😃  Navigating KR's wide empty streets from Pocket D to the tunnel entrance wasn't that hard... at least compared to weaving in and out of Grandville's 3D maze. had to literally stop every few steps to check around me. haha.

Kelly Kane is a model, actress, and former Paragon Playmate of the Year. She was hit-on and stalked by one of Paragon City's most infamous photographers after one of her shoots with him. Unbeknownst to Kelly, he was an evil mastermind using mind control powers to manipulate models, actors, agents, and crew members to infiltrate Paragon City's elite society to rob, black-mail, and even murder them. But he was in love with Kelly and wanted her to come to him of her own free will. But he was creepy, smarmy, and just had a grotesque personality--and besides, Kelly just knew something wasn't quite right about the guy.

 

Furious that Kelly keeps refusing him, he sent his minions to capture her best friend in a final attempt to make her love him before he would have to use his powers. Kelly finally saw him for what he was and decided to free her best friend and all the other models, actors, and people under his control.

 

Having amassed a fortune, she bought the latest in tech and weapons systems. Kelly's favorite weapon is the bow and arrow--it's silent, deadly, and just plain sexy. She quickly grabbed the first costume she saw from her closet and raced to City Hall to register as a hero. Not wanting to waste time and anxious to get out on the streets to hunt down the evil mastermind, she chose the first name that came to her, Techno-Bunny.

That's some serious next-level stuff.  Astroheart feels perfect, I wouldn't change it.

[ZorkNemesis]

Got a few.

 

Blade Kitten

Dual Blades/Ninjitsu Scrapper

 

Ninja catgirl.  Not much else to say.

 

 

Blizzard Bulwark

Ice/Shield Scrapper

 

A frosty protector with a cold demeanor.

 

Foxhunt

AR/Traps Corrupter

 

I had this odd idea of a kitsune with a military-esque theme, as opposed to the usual spiritual stuff.  She's got the silver fox ears and tail and whatnot, but she's also packing some real heat.

This is super cool. The optical illusion is, as the kids say*, gear.

Hello!  I've been working on a costume sharing site for a few days, and figured I'd drop the link here https://costumes.cityofheroes.dev/ A few folks from Discord have been testing it out for me this evening.  It's still very basic, but I plan to add more if usage picks up.  Please let me know what you think.

Neat.

 

I've registered and contributed a few of mine... will upload more later.

I love out-of-the-box thinking like this.

 

Bravo!

Mine's not quite as good, but I'm enjoying being Harvey The Wonder Hamster. 

(Rad/Titan tank. Huge body shape, min height and legs, max most everything else including head scaling.

And if there's any suggestions for scaling his head up to be more proportionate, let me know.)

 

And yes, he does have a bio: having been bitten by a radioactive human, Harvey rapidly developed in size, strength,
intelligence, phenomenal powers, and a paranoid fear of accordion players. Strange aversion, but there you go. 

The Righteous Raging Rodent Of Rhode Island is rapidly making a name for himself in his quest for peace, justice,

and jumbo-sized millet sticks.
