I'd been focused on knocking out the Echo Galaxy badges with my homage to serial movies sci-fi,  when I suddenly realized how fortuitous this one was:

 

Mind if I ask how you got that one? I have a character it would be perfect for, so I collected all the Galaxy badges listed here (https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/CoH_Exploration_Badges) but Galactic Explorer wasn't awarded. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

 

Also, absolutely love the costume. Which back piece or temp power is that?

Thanks!  The backpack is the Rogers Rocket Pack with Rings.  It is a permanent costume part, and even animates when in flight.

 

"Galactic Explorer" is actually the accolade given for finding all the exploration badge markers in Echo: Galaxy City.  So check under the category Accolades.  If you don't have it, you might want to review your explorations.  You might have missed one of the Echo: Galaxy City ones.

The Badges forum turns out to have a link to a handy badge tracker site, which lists three badges for Echo:Galaxy not mentioned in the old wiki. I should really have checked there first.

Homecoming has its own wiki now too: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Main_Page

 

I highly recommend it over any of the other CoH wiki sites. It's still a work in progress but there are several of us that have been working diligently since it was created in May to bring it up to speed for Homecoming.

I'd be much more interested in using titles if I could write them.

I know it's very common but I like my welcome to earth badge 

[Harlequin565]

I like alliterative titles and also match the badge if I can...

Noticed a disturbing trend, max level characters so little characterized that they aren't showing a concept-enhancing badge or setting a title.  The fact that the titles default to pitch black and have to be manually reset to something readable probably does not help.  And characters that do have a badge set often just have it set to a 'brag' Master Of badge rather than something that enhances the character concept. 

 

Even if you aren't into writing or reading character bios, badges and titles can enhance your characters and help bring them to life.  Here for example are a few of mine.

 

I find the overuse of titles to be a disturbing trend. Like, sure go ahead and use a title if it suits your character, but when I see characters with doubled up titles like what you're showing, such as The Famous Fabulous Ice Minstrel Showstopper, I'm generally not thinking, "Ooh, someone put thought into their character," I think that's someone overthinking the process. The Legendary Mythic Heraclea? Which is it, legendary or mythic? Even if it is both, is it both in equal measure? I remember reading The Amazing Spider-man and The Spectacular Spider-man comics... but they never made The Amazing Spectacular Spider-man for a reason.

I hope you aren't waiting on a response from Heraclea.

So show 'em all how to do it right on your toons!  I'm generally with you, I usually just stick to one adjective.

 

That said, I like what @Harlequin565 said, it can generate some good humor.  I have one 90's inspired toon named:

 

The Extreme

Extreme CAT Beam

 

Because what's more extreme than more etxreeeeme?!

Not at all; just quoted the OP for the reference showing the double adjective titles in use rather than making some up to make a point

The title system is a terrible temptation.  I constantly think about making a character named Baby Seal and then displaying the day job title from Pocket D - 'Clubber'.

OOH-HA-HA!
