My current Necro/Rad MM, may use this costume on a water/? sentinel, blaster or corruptor with the water colored red like blood.

Was fooling around with a new costume for a character and came across a costume option I had never really felt a need to use, the Resistance Armor under Chest Detail. Decided the armor was not right for the character, so made a new controller and recycled the name of my go at a Fire/Dark blaster who did not turn out as I had hoped. 

 

So this is the all new Ebonblaze:

My problem's trying to figure out which one to bring!

For my one hundred and tenth character, I give you...

 

The Microaggressor!

 

Erm, he's the one on the left:

Because its that time, here's my wife and I's zombie couple.

I've gotten some compliments on this one recently, so I thought I'd share; my ice/bio stalker Arctic Mist.

Night-time shot so you can see the glowies 🙂:


I can't wait for the winter event so I can get her a proper badge title (still enjoying the Halloween event for now)!

Borne out of my desire to make a kick-centric character, here's the Stallion (MA/WP), a Native American martial artist with superhuman agility, and the meanest kicks in Paragon !

Very cool costume, sorta awkward pose. “He who smelt it, dealt it!” 😆

Some of my Halloween lineup.

 

[Sable Phoenix]

Last night there was a huge Halloween costume contest held in The Witch's House, the haunted house base that's been heavily advertised this season on Everlasting (it's amazing, check it out if you haven't).  There were dozens of entrants and, I think, two separate live Twitch streams?  Anyway, there were four categories of costume, Mystical, Beautiful, Monstrous and Horrifying.  Each category had first, second, and third place winners, with a thirteenth overall grand prize winner declared out of one category (which caused the other entrants in that category to all move up one place).

 

My entry came away with the grand prize, which blew me away given all the creativity on display last night.  One of the streamers even read the bio live as the award was being handed over.  It's seriously one of the coolest things ever to happen to me in the City of Heroes.

 

So, I figured it would be appropriate to make my first costume post in this thread the grand-prize winner of the Witch's House 2021 costume contest.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present... The Shambler.

Thanks! To be fair, grabbing a cool screenshot of a MA attack is pretty dang hard. 😅

This is easily the coolest bio armor coloring I've ever seen. This toon looks like it jumped right out of Splatterhouse.

This really is horrifyingly good. I was at that event and I agree there were a large number of truly inspired characters. (I particularly liked whoever made “School Spirit”.) But this is genuinely terrific, and a well-deserved win.

It’s all about patience and 350 screenshots. 😂

 

But in all seriousness, I think you’ve made the true successor to Coyote, which is my favorite NPC design in the game. (And of course the backstory about the young guy who made the character is heartbreaking, adding to it.) Which server is this on? Maybe he can team up with my high-kickin' gal, Palomino, who is on Torchbearer.

[Trike]

Inspired by Stallion, I wanted to make another horse-themed character. No names were available... until I tried "Sea Horse". That set me off on a whole new tangent and I came up with a look which immediately garnered many compliments, which were much appreciated. It wasn't what I intended when I started out, but the destination I arrived at was even better.

I'm glad you caugh on to that! Coyote was definitely one of my main sources of inspiration for this guy, and the fact that there's a clear lack of non-mystical Native American heroes, IMHO.

He's on Reunion, unfortunately!

That is really striking and unique!  No wonder you have gotten comments on it, great job.

I wanted a more classic look, so I present to you "Therm-Mia", my newest character (Poison/Ice Defender):

I'm pretty proud of Shivan Basher here! Heroine who went from being the basher to... being a basher.
