Solarverse Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I don't recall ever seeing this guy before. He is behind Positron and his name is Ascendant and part of the Paragon Heroes. Just to be clear, he is an NPC. 1 SFX and Music Mods by Solarverse (Consolidated) WP/EM God Mode Tank Guide and Build Help Support the Return of Missing Code for Sound Files!

Hyperstrike Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Tre died more than a few years ago now. He was placed into the game in tribute. On the phone with Sal of course... If you do ship raids from Point du Hoc, you'll see Todogut in there. He was another player. Had a penchant for dressing up as Statesman at Convention cosplays. 4 If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

Solarverse Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I hate hearing about CoH gamers dying in real life. Mortality sucks ass. We all like to believe that we will be here forever...until one day out of the blue...we are not. R.I.P.

Soyuz Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I was in Blyde Square the other day, playing around with Group Fly which I'd just picked up and giving the 'bots some practice against the Outcasts who were menacing people in the general area, when a bunch of +1 (level 15) Skulls went by me with Ascendant in hot pursuit! I'd been lucky enough to see Prestidigitator's Act in Atlas Park a few days previously and I knew of Ascendant's routines (although I never saw one, being on a different retail server) so the coincidence made me smile. I dropped a couple of trick arrows on the Skulls to slow them down and set the 'bots on them, and they were in the Zig in short order - mostly Ascendant's work, I have to say. Then I looked around and noticed a hero face down by the base portal. I dropped a wakie on them and we had a quick chat while their head cleared (they'd been AFK when their ambush spawned). If it hadn't been for Acendant, I'd never have noticed them. Thanks, Ascendant! ------------------------------------------------- On a more serious note, I wasn't aware that Ascendant's player had passed. That actually came as more of a shock than I'd have thought possible. I never met him, but you have to appreciate anyone who puts in that amount of effort and creativity just on the off-chance that they'll entertain a few others. That goes for Prestidigitator too, and anyone else doing similar routines that I haven't mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrudeVileTerror Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 There are quite a few of these memorials in-game. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/10666-curupira/ https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Category:Memorial_NPCs Apparently about ten of them, according to at least one source, but said-source didn't provide details beyond their names: Ascendant Luna Curupira Raine Heartfall Malkiel Ivesse Todogut Tsukira Wolf Adam Norsewind If anyone has more concrete information, it would be wonderful of you to share it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider_01 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Wow, Outbreak's Coyote is also a memorial character. Did not know that, I think he would be the first then. 2 "Farming is just more fun in my opinion, beating up hordes of angry cosplayers...." - Coyotedancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrudeVileTerror Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Aye. Coyote was implemented by the original Legacy/Retail Devs. As far as I'm aware, all the other memorials are SCoRE/Homecoming additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no mention of who the person was behind the memorial though, which kind of sucks. It's like a gravestone that is so old that the lettering has weathered away and now it is just a nameless gravestone. Also, according to Wiki, Ascendant...and well, all but two was added in i25. It would seem Malkiel Ivesse was added in during the 2019 Halloween event (which would place him during SCoRE/Homecoming) and Raine Heartfall unfortunately does not have any information, not even info on the player who created her, much less the date she was added.

Solarverse Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 On a side note, hey @Jimmy, do you all ever plan to implement Ascendant's script as NPC chat? I for one would think that would be awesome to have in game.
