Can't believe this name was available on Torchbearer...

 

Flamedancer

Dual Blades / Fiery Aura Scrapper

 

 

The blazing path aura looks a little too orange (or a little too yellow if I'd shifted it down once on the color palette), but looks better once the fire shield is active.

Really great design!  I only wish we could get a little color or apply a design to those gloves & boots.  Cheers!

A more dynamic rework of one of my oldest (and favorite) characters : the Card King (Dark/Martial Dominator, with the shurikens supposed to be playing cards), a poker-obsessed ex-Midnighter who sets out to become the biggest player in the Rogue Isles, with the ultimate goal of taking over St. Martial.

Inspiration sometimes comes from the strangest of places. Case in point, Hamidon Bud! What would happen if an enterprising hero took one of these little guys home and raised it?

 

(He's a Rad/NRG tanker, with auras representing the Hami's inner glow & the jello bubble, and whose 3 primary shields each emulate one of the three mitos (blue, yellow, green). His attacks are also assorted mito-colours.)

We all know how addictive the character creator can be when it comes to designing costumes. What I have come to is trying to match my initial concept for a character but accepting that I will need to design a better costume at some future date (usually somewhere after SOs unlock) when a lot of details about the character have firmed up in my mind. That's also when I tend to put their character bio in place. So I present the evolution of a costume from the rough beginning to a final form for my Electrical Armor/Fire Melee Tanker, Star Soul:

 

 

The first costume was driven by my desire to get away from the pieces and colors I find myself normally using--something helped considerably by the background of the character (see below). Having decided her costume should function as a containment suit for her manifesting in our dimensions drove the second costume design. But the leg boots were just a bit too thick at the top for my tastes and eventually I got tired of it bothering me. That drove a number of not pictured revision passes which never made it out of the costume designer. I wanted to keep the second costume's belt but once I decided on the new shoulders and legs the choice of belts became obvious.

This is, no pun intended, a stellar concept and design. ❤️

Star Soul is great! The first shot looks a lot like one of my semi-mains, Ion Maiden.

I would have to say you did far better with that chest piece I gave up on in your choices for the rest of the design. I really like the color choices.

 

And wow...the almost identical idea on containment suits, body, and sharing Electrical Armor. Is there a telepathic link I should be worried about?

Thank you! I went back and forth for a long time on a lot if different parts of the look. It's hard to show off that she's composed of energy without also having her run around nude. I'm still not 100% sure about the shoulder pieces.

As for a telepathic link, I think we're safe as long as we don't start finishing each others'...

This concept is awesome and reminds me more than a little of the First Ones from Babylon 5, especially with the mention of ants.

I really like this character.  ran one similar named the Cardist.  think I just recently deleted him though as I didn't want to squat on names for characters I wasn't playing.  Plus I run a similar theme character/characters the Dames (Judith, Rachel, Pallas, Argine) the Queens of Suits, belonging to the Court of Crowns (playing card themed Criminal Underworld).  Working on getting a good story together and creating an AE mission for them, just lagging the time to get it together and I am a little rusty with creating missions.

I did not have this in mind consciously when coming up with the background but I did love Babylon 5. What I drew inspiration from was the novel Whipping Star by Frank Herbert, who is more commonly known for Dune.

I hope I don't get a Generic name for creating this character. lol

But she is more of a tribute than a copy. The Super American Girl!

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.  I never though the costume designer could be so free.  It makes me want to fly away on a wing and prayer.

I never realized before that the chest symbol in the costume designer is almost an exact copy of the one from the show.  How cool is that?

Heavily inspired by Spider Gwen



An idea for a Thugs Mastermind I never used.

Inspired by Cyberpunk themes ( Most recently https://i.imgur.com/uNKgfQD.jpg and https://i.imgur.com/V1d51bL.jpg ) a sentient Praetorian Clockwork.

 

Blast pattern on Muscle Gloss top/bottom is modded from the Succubi NPC stuff so it won't look like that on unmodded clients. Not sure who made the patch, sorry!

This is Commander Cuddle-bot.  She's a fun-loving genius inventor.  Not above admitting her own shortcomings when it comes to combat, she invented the Cuddle-bot battlesuit to augment her abilities and provide the high level of protection she would need, in order to enter the field of super-heroics.

 

Flight suit, casual clothes, and the Cuddle-bot itself, (last few pictures show size comparison):

That is a MOD that I use, to have some famous Superheroes symbols in the chest. It's a thing you put in the game, but only you can see it. 😉

My last one, Frio Absoluto!

[Jawbreaker]

I've been fighting with this costume for weeks, I just can't seem to get it to work. It's missing...something. Some part, some tweak, some color...I dunno. 
As some fun payback for all the great inspiration this thread has given me, I'd like to offer two of my COH patches to the person that offers a solution to my creative block. 

Murder One, Archery/MA blaster.

I'd certainly be willing to take a crack at it, but you may want to post your request over here.

My e-e-evil new Fire/Earth dominator, the villainous Volcaniac!

My fire/dark tanker straight from Hell, Dante's Seventh.

 

[Player2]

No costume at the moment...  I've been busy with life & work stuff but hope to be getting into some new character ideas over the next few days.

 

Here are some of the names I've been squatting on that I'm hoping to come up with some designs for:
