| The Server Wench | Villain | Technology Brute | War Mace | Super-Reflexes | Flight, Fitness, Teleport |
| Costume 1, with Software Pirate, Ladybug Armor, Ladybug Armor with wings, Costume 1 with Rocket Boots, Vanguard costume. | Inspired by an overheard comment from a RPG, talking about "server wenches" instead of "serving wenches", and I realized she'd make a good foil to a friend's character on Guardian, the Software Pirate. Once I got her to L20, I decided to push the ladybug motif all the way and gave her power armor, using the insect wing patterned cape, but I later got the insect wing costume piece and swapped out. She's the first character I tried using "personal base items" on, but not without problems. She has discovered that the Council has fallen on hard times, judging from the results of breaking up a weapons deal they were running in Brickstown. After putting a few eyes out she got Blinky, her Rularuu hammer. | ||||
|
Once a mild-mannered (okay, rather snarky) IT professional at Crey, she
suffered through one too many stupid users who left security wide open and
let heroes and villains alike steal secrets. Grabbing a wrench from the
janitor's closet, she brained the sales department idiot who'd pushed her
over the edge, and started a new career as a freelance IT support expert and
thug. She particularly likes working for Arachnos, as her contracts allow
her to beat lusers senseless if she deems it necessary to the improvement of
network security.

| Peaceseeker | Hero | Technology Tanker | Willpower | Battle Axe | Leadership, Flight |
| Optimus Prime, Bulkhead, Prowl, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Optimus Prime 2, Bulkhead 2, Prowl 2, Bumblebee 2. | Inspired in part by Prime X on another server, I decided to take a shot at the TF: Animated version of Optimus Prime. During Double XP Weekend he had an interesting mapserver accident. Once I got the Superscience Booster, I decided to make up the other four members of the TF:A Autobot core group, although I initially could only add Bulkhead and Prowl. I added Bumblebee at L30, and after getting the Cyborg Booster I went back and made second versions of the four costumes I had installed. I'll see if I can improve Ratchet if I ever get Peaceseeker to L40. | ||||

Not all of the work on supertech happens in Paragon City, even in the "main"
shards. Dragonstooth Industries of Detroit developed the Peaceseeker armor to
get up close and personal with menaces that tended to lurk in tight spaces
like the infamous sewer systems of Paragon City. With an energized axe and
advanced biofeedback systems that let its wearer ignore pain, Dragonstooth
has high hopes for this new autonomous protection unit.

| Ethan Eruption | Villain | Technology Corruptor | Fire | Storm | Flight |
| Costume 1 | Yes, it's an homage to Nathan Explosion from Metalocalypse. If I ever get him high enough level to get a second costume, I may try making a GWAR-style outfit for him. But he really needs to be played in teams to be effective, as he burns too much endurance on area effect stuff to work well in solo. Once I got the 12 month badge, I decided he needed the Ghost Slaying Axe purely because it's totally metal. And brutal. | ||||
|
Ethan is totally metal, and has always BEEN totally metal. But ever since
that accident with the thunderstorm during an experimental Crey-built
pyrotechnics display on stage fused much of the circuitry with his flesh,
he's been about 10% metal, in a literal sense...but he's still 100% metal in
the only sense that matters!
Battlecry: Do you hear the tick-tock? | |||||
| Nimrod the Hunter | Hero | Mutation Scrapper | Claws | Super Reflexes | Leaping |
| Costume 1, Costume 2, Costume 3. | As close as I could get to Nimrod the Cat from Galaxy Rangers, but there's no fur ruff options. The first costume was going from online reference that only showed the upper body. The second one was after I popped in my DVD of "The Power Within". Thanks to @Foomf for the Influence infusion that let me change costumes right away rather than waiting to save up the ten grand it took. He'll probably need to go to boxhab at some point too, being my first catguy. The Winter Event got him some furry boots and gloves, which get a little closer to the concept. | ||||
|
He's here to play the most dangerous game! Okay, he seems a bit goofy, and
it's never completely clear which side of the fence he's playing, plus he
doesn't realize that "Nimrod" hasn't been taken seriously as a name since
Bugs Bunny got at it, but he's happy, and that's what really matters, right?
Battlecry: The game's afoot! | |||||
| Bertie Page | Hero | Natural Scrapper | Longsword | Willpower | Leaping |
| Costume 1, Cocktail Party Togs | Software Pirate's player decided to take advantage of his 60 month veteran reward and make a female Rocketeer pastiche who'd get Flight at L6, so I offered to make up a complementary character to help level faster. So I picked a male Bettie Page as the natural counterpart to a female Rocketeer, and threw in some Bertie Wooster. And since he draws his sword out of his back, he's like a gender- and direction-swapped Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena. | ||||
|
Not all damsels in distress are women, as Bertie demonstrates. A member of
the idle rich, aka a "Drone", he took up theatrical fencing and a number of
other techniques to pass the time...so, of course, when the Sky Raiders
attacked a party he was attending, he decided he'd thrash the scoundrels.
Fortunately, Skye Phyer was also on the scene, or he'd have been dropped from
a great height and allowed to splat. But it was the biggest thrill he'd ever
had, so he decided to go into the business of heroing! Fortunately, Paragon
City has plenty of other heroes to pull his butt out of the fire.
Battlecry: Here I come...whoops! | |||||
| Camouflage Girl | Hero | Magic Controller | Illusion Control | Radiation Emission | Flight |
| Costume 1 | While visiting family, I sat down with my older niece to draw. I drew her a fairy, and she drew Camouflage Girl, which I've tried to capture here. Of course, as the day went on, Camouflage Girl gained pretty much every power in the book, but my niece is four years old, what do you expect? :) The "correct" headgear for her would be something like a nurse's cap with horns, but I decided to just go with a tiara. Camoflage Girl is pretty effective, despite not having "every power" as my niece insists, and soloed Frostfire successfully. If slowly. | ||||
|
Camouflage Girl can draw the colors out of anything with rays zapped from
her fingers, a different finger for each color. She can then spray the
colors onto other things, including herself, rendering them camouflaged! She
wears a very colorful costume so she'll always have the colors she needs, and
she keeps extra colors in her pockets. In a fight, she can whip out some of
the colors and use them to blind or even zap enemies. She claims to come
from a shard where every nation and state has a predominant color, so that
from space Earth looks like a political-boundaries map. (Camouflage Girl
created by my 4 year old niece, I was curious how close I could get to the
idea in City of Heroes. The real Camouflage Girl is only 6 years old,
though, kinda hard to create with the sliders.)
Battlecry: Zap! | |||||
| La Gazza Ladra | Villain | Mutation Corruptor | Dark Blast | Dark Miasma | Fitness, Flight |
| Costume 1, Costume 2, Costume 3 | When I hit 15 months, I unlocked the angelic and demonic wings as a veteran's reward, so I decided to make a new toon to use one of the sets. "La Gazza Ladra" means "The Thieving Magpie," and it's the name of an opera and a Marillion album. ;) Dark Blast's got a sniper attack at level 2, the earliest any Primary can have sniping, and MAN does it affect how the low level content goes. Costume 1 is based on the coloration of the European Magpie. Costume 2 is mainly meant to keep some of the basic ideas while A) looking like a slinky dance club outfit, and B) minimizing wing distraction for those tunnel missions. Costume 3 replaces costume 2, but makes use of the Wedding Pack, which I friend gave me. | ||||
|
Daughter of a successful second-stringer winged hero of the 1980s and 1990s,
no one's quite sure why she turned bad. Some say her parents spoiled her too
much and she decided to take the ethically easy way out once she grew up.
Others posit that one of her father's mystic foes cursed her at birth,
turning her evil. A few even suggest that her father's heroism was only a
cover for his own illegal activities, and the daughter simply dispensed with
pretense. Still, her powers over darkness do tend to lend credence to the
"curse" theory. Like the magpie she named herself after, she likes pretty
things and will simply take those that catch her eye. She'll also take your
lifeforce if you cross her....
Battlecry: Oooh, pretty. Mine now. | |||||
