I rolled a new character a couple weeks ago for this myself:  Aural Aria - Symphony/Sonic CTRL

Does Sym. Control count?

 

If so, I'll bring Nuntius - Sym./Thermal.

If not, I'll have to work something out.

Is that Symphony/Thermal? Maybe we can include Symphony since it's musical!!! That's a good idea! Let me change it!!! I actually have a Symphony toon that's in her 30's 🙂 

[Midnyte]

For next week's Citadel, I will bring Melody Bubbles - Symphony/FF Controller

[TygerDarkstorm]

@Midnyte Omg, that 420 healing was a perfect catch! I am not sure if it was from me though since I wasn't level 50 for most of the SF and didn't spend too much time in the melee scrum since I kept dying. But it certainly could have been one of the times I was in there! lol. Regardless of who it was, that is too funny

 

@TrixieKixx I think I have the perfect rocker for this; I will try to get Shock N Shout - Elec/Sonic Dominator leveled up

[FrauleinMental]

I was throwing out Twilight Grasp during that fight, so maybe those numbers are mine.  It's rated at a touch over 400 healing, plus a 5% set bonus that might do it.  Its cast time is excruciatingly long (2.37 s) and requires a to-hit roll against an enemy (kinda like Transfusion in /kin, which does roughly the same healing).

Ah, sorry! Yes, I did mean Symphony Control/Thermal Controller.

 

I wasn't sure if Symphony was "Sonic" even though it's "musical."  Thanks for accommodating me (again)!

5/20 – Lady Grey (Level 45-50; Purple: Rikti War Zone) – Fashion Show

 

Also, to cut-off my confusion ahead of time, how should this look? I'm decidedly ignorant of fashion shows (or, perhaps even, being fashionable : P) so I could use some guidance.

Depends how into it you want to get. You can look at shows for the big brand names (Gucci, Prada, Valentino, etc.), movie references like Zoolander, or just your own interpretation of what a runway look would be.

 

The game will limit this one to some extent just for lack of options in the CC

 

Edit: Whoops, I messed this one up with the fashion show theme. This week is a musical theme, which should be easy; you're just building around a genre

Google Fashion Show - This was @TygerDarkstorm idea...but I think she meant something avant garde? Avant-garde refers to a fashion designer or a person who experiments to design and wear something that has never been designed or worn before. Its look is entirely unconventional and even beyond the imagination of common people. Whatever you come up with will be fine!

[TygerDarkstorm]

No, I did not mean avant garde. 🙂 The kind of nice thing with fashion is that it is open to interpretation.

[TrixieKixx]

Ok...so, whatever you think is fashionable 😄 For next weeks TF, I chose a punk rock 80's theme :)

Yes, I think that's fair enough. There are some limitations with the costume creator, so I wouldn't want it to be too restrictive. But I feel like a few of us have probably seen some of those "fashion" looks where you're like, wtf is that? lol But much like art, fashion can be almost anything! 😄

 

But yeah, I got super confused seeing questions about the fashion theme because I was like wait, this next theme is music. xD I too went punk rock with my character. 🙂

Because, how could you not: Green!

Lord Recluse SF - Dark Powers & Dark Costume/Concept

Saturday, 5/6/2023

 

 

Coffee Ring, corruptor by @FrauleinMental. Always a bit unnerving. 😲

 

Alichino and his army of demons by @Burnt Umber

 

Fairy Little, controller by @TrixieKixx

 

Stroke of Midnight, controller by @Midnyte

 

Violet Valkyria, brute by @Bananiac

 

Beast of Soul, defender by @TygerDarkstorm

 

 

Great photo story again, @Midnyte!

 

I also love how everybody's toon brought a backstory this time! Haven't had that for quite a while....

I think I will bring my Dominator Disco Infernale again, Symphony/Fire, in his regular funky groovy disco outfit. A good opportunity to take him through the final stretch to 50.

Which will make him my 1st Dominator to ever get this far. I think I have 2 or 3 other Doms idling around at lvl 6 or so...

 

On the condition that I will be able to game next saturday, that is.

I went opera with my character for this week, so a similar costume to our 'Night at the Opera' theme, just a different character.  I've made a couple of alternate costumes in different genres, but opera fits the character name best.

 

For 'Fashion Week', so far I've found a Victoria's Secret show pic I'm emulating, with bikini and trenchcoat.  I'll be bringing my main, because I'm the anti-altoholic person and look for reasons to play my main.

Yeah, I thought of that too. You were in the high 40s with a defender-level heal, and the other couple of us were 50s w/MM & controller heals. I'll log mine on and test it 😄

Do any of you watch Emily in Paris? My advice would be not to emulate the most recent episode 😆

[Midnyte]

Gonna have to bail out of this one 😞 Insanely busy week and I had no time to level up my symph controller 😞 😞 She's still at level 8! 😮 

I may show up just to take pictures though. 😄 

 

Sat morning edit: my son offered to get me some levels so I will be able to join after all! Melody Bubbles will be there representing '80s hair bands!

Oh, could be! I remember that long cast time and the to-hit check. Now I'm in the mood to use that set again. NEW CHARACTER ALERT 😄

Citadel TF - Music Genre costume theme

All Symphony/Sonic powers

Saturday, 5/13/2023

 

The actual line-up differed a little from the sign-up sheet

 

Gorgeous in white & gold, Aural Aria by @FrauleinMental
(I know there's a cool story in there with that blindfold)

 

@Burnt Umber represented the Early Romantic period of music

 

Screaming Meemees by @TrixieKixx

 

Singing Shinobi by @Jaxman100

The lone blaster in a sea of control types

 

Melody Bubbles representing headbanging hair bands by @Midnyte

 

 

Shock N Shout, the ultimate punk rocker by @TygerDarkstorm

 

 

The symphony graphics are enthralling

 

Council swooning to Early Romantic's crooning

 

Council snoozing to Melody Bubbles' lullabye

 

The symphony color-coding made it easy to differentiate

whose powers.... gold for Aural Aria, turquoise for Early Romantic,

and pink for Melody Bubbles

 

A teammate threw some spell-casting cards at Melody

 

 

The whole TF was filled with delightful sights and sounds

 

 

♫♪ LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR ♪♪♫

 

~The End~

Nox - Fortunata

 

I think I'll end up looking a bit boring by comparison but so it goes.
