Characters for holidays and events

[DougGraves]

Seeing a bunch of Santa Claus and such around I decided to make a christmas themed character.  I also was inspired by the pilgrim hat to make a pilgrim.

 

What characters do you  have themed for holidays or other events?  I'm trying to think of ones I might want to make for next year.

For Halloween season, I've made characters based on classic monster types: Frankenstein's monster, mummy, black cat, pumpkin-head, witch, .....

 

For Winter, I've done more winter/cold themed than holiday themed.  

 

Usually don't get a chance to level them up all the way, so I let them sit when the season's over until next year unless I'm really enjoying them.

I have a Titan weapons Tank that looks like a nutcracker army man

No earth/earth doms themed after giving out charcoal to all the naughty boys & girls?

Why does everyone see this as a bad thing.  🙂 It was a valuable resource that kept your home warm.  It was originally given in the days of Sinterklass (and before him Saint Nicholas) as a practical gift to those who were naughty as opposed to sweets (or coins) to those who were nice.

No... Seismic Blasters, with their orbital coal delivery systems...

[Herah]

Mostly just make new costumes for existing toons. But For Halloween a couple years back I did make.........

 

 

                          Sweeney Tots

I was inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas to make my own Halloween-Christmas themed character.

I call him Horror Claus, a Dark/Dark controller.

Neat but still not as creepy as Elf on a Shelf.

Yeah, but my guy is about horror... Elf on a Shelf is all about terror.  No one beats Elf on a Shelf for terror.

I have a general winter themed outfit that I run as opposed to a Santa suit.  I wanted something different then the 20+ santa clones I was surrounded by when we were testing the ski chalet back in the live days and it certainly stood out among the crowd.

My santa clone is irradiated for extra holiday cheer.

 

Holiday Rage

Street Justice / Radiation Armor Brute

[Player2]

I also do the holiday helper theme, but forget elves...  They're fairies.

 

Satan's Helper

Fire Blast / Fire Manipulation Blaster

[Player2]

And finally, I have my mutant Electric/Empathy Controller...

 

X-Miss

11 months out of the year, she has standard color power effects...

And all this month she'll put on her holiday outfit with snow aura, her power slide will be colored snow white, and she'll be stringing up the electric lights in Christmas colors.

I have several, first that leaps to mind for seasonal reasons is Missus Claus.

 

Her bio: "Goodness gracious, now don't cause any trouble, young people! Be nice, not naughty, so my hubby won't have to leave you a stocking full of coal this year! And please don't give me any aggravation, either. Just because I'm a housewife doesn't mean my work isn't meaningful, or important! So settle down and play nice or I'll have to get my rolling pin...."

 

She was specifically created a couple of years ago when I discovered that the HC folks had made it so during the Winter Event, all gravity controllers threw presents instead of the usual stuff. 🙂 Her secondary is Time.

For Christmas, generally it's just a themed costume on whomever I'm running at the time, but I did make one guy named something like Pagan Holiday that I tried to cover all the bases with, but I don't think he got past like level 20.  I do have a lot of Halloween-ish toons though.

*Cough*The Coal Bringer*Cough*

 

Sorry, must have coal dust in my throat.

 

(Created him last year. Well, technically he's a seismic/earth blaster, not a dom.  But definitely into coal.)

We Nukems have a seasonal costume.  Ear muffs, scarf, Santa boots and gloves with our stylish school uniform.

[DoctorDitko]

My favorite for this holiday is Santa's Stunt Double:

 

(Sorry to break it to you, kids, but Santa doesn't do his own stunts!)

 

 

Bio:

 Yeah, you see Santa catching a smoke behind the mall? That's me.

 

You see some movie where Santa gets conked on the noggin? Me.

 

See Santa swigging from a flask to keep off the chill? Me.

He just delivers the presents. I do the dirty work. Hey, Merry Christmas, know what I'm saying?

I do the same with many of my favorite characters.
