If our characters were superheroes... (DC Universe Online)

[skylark]

As most of you know, when it comes to character creation, I'm kinda OCD about it. The thing is, I keep going back and deleting and remaking characters, and I can't bring myself to stick to one. In short I need help from you guys and our Saga characters. I've already made one based on Lark.

I want to fill the remaining 11 character slots based on heroes and villains from our stories, and being the completionist I am, and want at least one of each power, movement mode, weapon, mentor, and what alias they would use (to keep up with DC lore). Also, I'd like an even mix of heroes and villains.

Powers:

Fire
Ice
Mental (Telekenisis and Illusions)
Sorcery (Arcane and Souls)
Gadgets
Nature (Plants and Shapeshifting)
Hard Light (Green Lanterns/Sinestro Corps)
Lightning
Earth
Quantum (Time and Gravity)
Celestial (Light and Darkness)
Rage (Red Lanterns)

Movement Modes:

Flight
Super Speed
Acrobatics
Skimming (Flying variant with discs at the feet)

Mentors:

Heroes: Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman

Villains: Lex Luthor, Joker, Circe

Weapons:

Brawling
Martial Arts
One-Handed
Dual Wield
Hand Blasters
Staff
Two-Handed
Rifle
Dual Pistols
Bow
Shield

I know, It's kinda limited, and that it's a bit much to ask from you all, but I know we could make this work. Thanks in advance.

Techno should be easy enough:

Power: Gadgets
Movement Modes: Acrobatics
Mentor: Batman
Weapons: Bow

Secret Identity: John Tark, a somewhat nerdy tech guy working in Wayne Enterprises as a programmer.

Just for the record, I'm more of a Marvel guy than DC, but they don't have an online game.

[Roas]

What the hell...I'll help your OCD.

Roas:

Power: Quantum (because it's got Time in it)

Mentor: Supes
Weapons: Dual Wield (duh)


Ninya:

Power: Celestial

Vathos:

Power: Hard Light
Movement Mode: Skimming
Mentor: Batman
Weapons: One-Handed

Rasha:

Power: Rage
Movement Mode: Flight
Mentor: Lex
Weapons: Two-Handed

Definitely gives me ideas about other characters now. Not enough Villains though. Let's fix that.

Ouroboros:

Power: Mental
Movement Mode: Acrobatics
Mentor: Circe
Weapons: Brawling

(Combining two villains in one) Daere:

Power: Hard Light (Sinestro Corps)
Movement Mode: Flight
Mentor: Lex Luthor
Weapons: Hand Blasters
Secret Identity: Kale Guildenstern

Ophelia Claudius (Kale's 2nd in Children of Dawn):

Power: Nature

(Villain to be introduced in Bloodlines. Roas knows who he is.):

Power: Ice

Mentor: Joker
Weapons: One-Handed

Double-post for what I have done so far.

Name: Pyroseraph

Power: Fire
Movement Mode: Flight
Mentor: Superman
Weapons: Staff
Secret Identity: Cain 'Skylark' Cray

Well, hit a bit of a snag. Apparently, if a name's already been taken, it can't be used. Have to be a little creative with the names.

Name: Professor Techno

Power: Gadgets
Movement Mode: Acrobatics
Mentor: Batman
Weapon: Bow
Secret Identity: John Tark

--------

Name: Blacksoul Shooter

Power: Sorcery
Movement Mode: Skimming
Mentor: Wonder Woman
Weapon: Dual Pistols
Secret Identity: Caesar Catellena

Finished with my 12 characters. My alt-itis should be satisfied for the moment. Wish I had an extra slot though so I could put in Daere/Kale as a Yellow Lantern.

Also, in looking around the game's forums, I learned that there are three new powers in the works. Which means more characters for me to make eventually. Yay.

Atomic (I can totally see Dante having this one.)

Experimental Serums (think Bane, so this might go to Azreal considering the end of CoF)

Munitions (based off characters like Deathstroke and Sergeant Rock, a bit stumped on who this would go to though)

All in all, looking forward to these in the hopefully near future.

[skylark]

Munitions is out, so I'm changing up our roster a bit.

Caesar's getting the guns with Zero picking up Sorcery. Of course, I still don't have enough villains so...

Sorry Zero. You drew the short straw.

[skylark]

Alright. I'm finally taking a much-needed break away from FFXIV to try and work on this. Or at least get all my characters to 30 for proper endgame. Anyway, most of the customization is of costumes and 'styles'. Character models (body types and faces) themselves have general templates and unfortunately can't be fine-tuned like in many recent MMOs. However, there should be enough variety in outfits, skins (crystalline, reptilian, lava, etc.), and hairstyles to make your characters somewhat unique.

Anyway, it's picture time!

Is it too late to comment that Green/Black would be more in line with a Roas signature color palet?

Well, I was going more for the Glaive Armor colors with the silver and rust red. Not sure if I can change the pallette in-game (you only get 3 colors for your character), but if you can, I'm not sure how I can make the pallette work without making him look like a Green Lantern or Captain Christmas. >.>

So to answer your question... yes. It probably is.

......unfortunately, due to the game not allowing you to use the word 'nexus' when naming characters, I had to name him Nexis. Yes, it's weird. >_<

Gonna be bringing Ninya in for this last batch. To avoid any more confusion, what's her color scheme?

Once I get some more character slots, I'll add in Dante and the last two villains to represent the Sinestro Corps and the upcoming Experimental Serums and Atomic power sets.
