    And yeah they have some that can look like that, you may have to use a full-face helmet and then use a head accessory part for the visor though. It's been a while since I've played.

    Mostly I wanna try Archery because I got a gander at Rain of Arrows and holy shitmobiles that power looks like it owns hard

    That and the powergamer in me tells me that Swap Ammo, while cool in concept, ain't worth giving up Aim for

    (Bullet Rain with inferno rounds looks cool as hell, though)

    Swap ammo is hella better than aim. That's what build-up's for.

    but i've also made a point of learning not to make mistakes that will actively gimp you and make the game frustrating when it doesn't need to be

    like not taking Stamina

    I just wish it didn't remove stuff for being a rogue/vigilante. While having access to both sides means having plenty of content, on villain side especially almost all the real content is in story arcs. On a non-50 especially it feels like I'm hurting myself by not going full red or blue.

    It is just verifying the files, when I was 14 and this game came out I was like OMG 7 mb/s MY INTARNET IS FAST LOL. I later learned to use computers.

    Also anyone else on Freedom? I have a level 26 Scrapper, 25 Blaster, 23 Blaster, 23 Brute, 22 Blaster, 21 Corruptor, 20 Scrapper, 19 Scrapper, 14 Brute, 11 Mastermind, 9 Defender, and 5 Scrapper. I don't have altitis, just around 8 main characters. (I wish CO didn't blow because I love experimenting with different powersets)

    How do you guys get good screenshot of your character? The game forces your dude to the lowest part of the screen so proper zooming cuts off like 50% of the character unless you're at a retarded angle.

    yaaay!

    basically the idea behind Star Player is that he's a former athlete who was so amazing some dudes at Powers Division were like "Hmm." and he got offered the position of glorious fame and authority by kicking ass in the name of the Emperor

    so I'm playing through the Power Loyalist arc basically as a super-jock. He's a glory-hound douchebag who's pretty much in it for the fame

    Here are my 3.

    Horde of Locuts, my first character. It should have been Swarm, but I was too eager to get started to think a lot about the name. Stalker.

    Remote Query, my second character. Brute. She's (way) more fun to play than my Stalker, but isn't in Praetoria as I want the epic CoV dudes.

    Queen Litch, a terrible name (Lich would have been more subtle and undumb but taken) for a Zombie Mastermind. I haven't really played her at all yet. Masterminds are going to be interesting to get into.

    Behold: The Encyclopedia Scooterica!

    First off, of course is Scooter. Force Field superspeedster mutant, uses his powers for fame and celebrity. (FF/Energy Defender)
    Scooter1.jpgScooter2.jpg


    The Shining Spirit, former cop and martial artist who was given mystical artifacts by her master, giving her great speed, strength, regeneration, and flashy yellow skin whenever she puts them on. (MA/Regen Scrapper)
    Shining1.jpgShining2.jpg


    The Sable Spirit, (non-identical) twin sister of Shiny. Born with the mutant powers of psionics and blue skin, she never quite cut it as a hero until joining with the Warshade Sabelion. (Warshade)
    Sable1.jpgSable2.jpgSable3.jpg


    The Aegis Phantom, a disciple of the Japanese mystic school known as the Path of the Living Light. She summons light elementals to fight by her side, and can manipulate light as if it were a solid object. (Illusion/FF Controller)
    Phantom1.jpg
    Phantom2.jpg


    Nordic Golem, a Viking smith who was tricked into creating a cursed axe, and was then murdered by it, transforming him into a mindless stone golem. After his axe was recovered from a collection of Hellion artifacts, he has since done the bidding of Power's Allegory. (Stone/Axe Tank)
    Nordic1.jpg
    Nordic2.jpg


    Lady Threnody, Praetorian of Operative Threnody. Born into a family of privilege and powers, she always wanted powers of her own. Unfortunately, the doctors she hired to give her cybernetic upgrades went far further than she had agreed to, losing most of her limbs, skin, and organs in the process. Humbled by her loss, she joined the Resistance to fight against those who believe in power at all costs. (Elec/Elec Dominator)
    LadyThren2.jpg
    LadyThren1.jpg


    Lady Parabellum, trained to be an assassin from birth. She fled her order after being upset at being unable to choose her own targets, and has become a vigilante so that she can kill without worrying too much about her conscience. She loves to shoot things, and she is very, very good at it. (DP/Psi Blaster)
    LadyPara2.jpg
    LadyPara1.jpg


    La Espina, a Columbian mutant born with great control over plant life. She was 'bought' at a young age by the drug cartels to create faster-growing, more potent crops, and later to act as an assassin. She became a free agent mercenary after Hollywood Nocturne killed her bosses, but has never enjoyed her life of crime and is working to redeem herself. (Plant/Thorns Dominator)
    Espina1.jpg


    Alraune (aka "Blind Al"), a Germanic archer who was promoted to the ranks of the Valkyries in death. However, she wouldn't shut up about how the Valkyries ought to be doing more on Earth to help the mortals, and was eventually blinded, bound with Fire Giant chains, and banished for her annoyances. Someone must've liked her, though, as she can now sense her targets with even greater accuracy, and even control the flames. (Archery/Fire Blaster)
    Alraune.jpg
    Alraune2.jpg


    Shapshu was once a fire sorceress, until she was chosen to become the avatar of the Canaanite Sun Goddess. For centuries she has done her bidding, and these days is investigating why an avatar of Lotan has become active in the Rogue Isles. (Fire/Thermal Controller)
    Shapshu.jpgShapshu2.jpg


    By day, he is a mild mannered President.
    B-Rock1.jpg

    But by other times of the day...
    B-Rock2.jpg

    He. IS. B-ROCK SUPERALLAH!
    B-Rock3.jpg


    Sarah Helms has been many things in her life. She was once the Battle Medic, a pacifist healer, but after being abandoned to a 5th Column prison for several weeks, she turned to a life of vigilantism and psychosis. First in Paragon (AR/Dev Blaster):
    H-Judgment3.jpgH-Judgment1.jpgH-Judgment2.jpg

    Then in the Rogue Isles, after forcing a few minor gangs to aid her at gunpoint (Thugs/Traps MM):
    V-Judgment1.jpg
    V-Judgment2.jpg

    However, after spending a few weeks in the hospital and losing her eye in a fight with a future Lord Recluse, she came to terms with her life and re-devoted herself to heroism as a Longbow Warden (MA/Shield Scrapper):
    Ward-Justice.jpg


    Overlord Slider is the Praetorian version of Scooter. Instead of turning his force fields to defend others, he focused them on turning himself invincible. Like Scooter he desires adoration and power, unlike Scooter he enjoys causing pain to get it. (Energy/Energy Brute)
    Slider2.jpgSlider1.jpg


    Splendid Spirit is the Praetorian version of Shining Spirit. Also a PPD veteran, she instead took her artifacts from her master and turned him in for being resistance. Her artifacts are slightly different, and instead allow her to move more swiftly through time as she fights. (KM/WP Scrapper)
    Splendid1.jpgSplendid2.jpg


    Operative Threnody always wanted powers, and volunteered for an Arachnos Super Soldier power to get them, in the form of Sonic abilities. However, her program's funding was cut, her powers taken, and she was reassigned to the Blood Widows. Angered by this, she now pushes the limits of her authority to take back as much power as she can get. (Widow)
    Op-Threnody1.jpgOp-Threnody2.jpg


    Lotan, an avatar of the Canaanite serpent God of Sea and Storms. Lotan was annoyed by the presence of the Coralax in his oceans, and sent his avatar to learn more about them, and destroy them if necessary.
    Lotan1.jpgLotan2.jpg


    Huntress Fenja, a Nordic Frost Giant who has long hated mankind. She fights now for Arachnos as they value combat and warfare, but she existed before them and expects to exist for long after. (Bane Spider)
    Fenja1.jpgFenja2.jpg


    Hollywood Nocturne, former black ops agent turned mercenary. He lost all sense of patriotism after killing many considered to be heroes in southeast Asia and South America, and went freelance. His powers come from a variety of sources gathered by Malta, and allows him to convert himself to a form of black smoke, giving him the ability to fly, regenerate, and create concealing clouds. (Merc/Dark MM)
    Hollywood.jpg

    And that's all...for now....
