TwoDee Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) There is a place, where the writing is better, the heroes come in shades of grey, and the ambush spawns flow like wine. It is a lonely, personal journey. Not every new character makes it out. And those who do... are forever marked by the experience. We call it... goldside. The New Praetorians Initiative supergroup is celebrating our beloved Going Rogue content by holding a big damn costume contest in the Magisterum Courtyard, in Nova Praetoria, on May 23rd. There will also be an Iron Character contest hosted by our own @Kai, time and place yet TBD directly after the Costume Contest winds down. We fondly hope to see you there in your best stars and chevrons. Edited May 13, 2020 by TwoDee 1 Lead of the <New Praetorians Initiative> supergroup. Goldside enjoyer.

Jawbreaker Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 What's an Iron Character contest? Ask me about my City Of Heroes patch problem https://levelzeroems.com/search?q=City of Heroes
ArchVileTerror Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I believe that's where if you get defeated, you delete the character.

_Kai_ Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Thanks for the help in replies! Its kind of like Iron Chef, you get a name you've never seen and an hour to come up with a backstory and costume! Ideally you contribute a good one or two word name that you have that just isn't working for you and I shuffle them around and hand them back out, but I will have a limited number of names I grabbed specifically for this contest. The twist for this round is, on theme, the character has to be Praetorian! 1

_Kai_ Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Right after the contest, I ran another round of Iron Character, and these were the awesome people that came and the characters they created! Impact Zone and Baccarat took honorable mentions from TwoDee, Power Sink and Chromed got them from me. Third was Aperature in all his creepiness, Second was Deviation with a great hook, and First was Blowout with some sweet costume/bio/name synergy
