Snow Blight here, thank you so much for the event! I still can't believe I was a finalist!

 

I also got totally Mike Wazowski'd in the group photo for Everlasting by a ninja from one of the other Masterminds, betrayed by my own archetype! T-T

 

Kidding aside, it was so much fun, it was really great! 😄

At least I made it in the group shot! Thanks for running this! I was pounded into the dirt so many times. As a level 9 anytime an AV looks at me I was gone.

Anyone want to break down who they were supposed to be ? 
I have no clue who the winner was suppose to be.

Well, I can only speak for my toon, of course. Savant is a Voodoo-themed Necro/Dark Mastermind, with the french name telling about his background.

 

To quote from the Bio:

"The eternal figure in black, Ghede is controlling the eternal crossroads at which everyone must someday cross over. His symbol is the cross upon a tomb. Known as the spirit of death, other spirits fear him and try to avoid him. Le Savant D'Ombre is his ardent disciple. He operates under the direction of Baron Samedi, who represents the death side of Ghede. He is the power behind the magic that kills. He controls the souls of those who have met death as a result of magic."

 

It is not a character built to the likeness of anybody, just what I thought a Voodoo-powered villain could look like.

Is Grandma wearing fishnets? Why Grandma, when you said "Special Sauce", I thought you meant something else entirely!

Hi!  Golden Griffin on Torchbearer is my character.  He's based on another character I had on Triumph, Grey Gryphon.  Same concept, similar costume, different powerset.

 

Here's his short in-game bio:

 

Golden Griffin emerged fully-grown from one of the Cauldrons of Prometheus on the steps of Atlas Park City Hall!  Seemingly given life by the Greek Gods, Golden Griffin is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle.  He fights for the safety of all citizens of Paragon City!

 

Thanks to the GMs for hosting!  It was a really fun event, as always!

Pixie Grandma's sort of homage to my grandma passed away a few months ago. She was an absolute crack at bedtime stories, too.

True heroine to me.
