@dvandom's City Of Heroes/Villains characters - Infinity
Updated: August 21, 2010

Back to the Main Page.

    Having characters already on five of the eleven U.S. servers, I decided to go ahead and start slowly spreading into the other six as time and inclination allowed. I think I picked Infinity for my sixth because one of my Pinnacle SG-mates was working on someone there at the time, but I had no particular plans to team with them. A fairly deliberate colonization, the first four characters here were all made sequentially, with no other new characters on other servers in between.
Baron Brass (Fire/Kinetics Controller), Skwirl Torch (Fire/Fire Brute), May Rodder (Rad/Rad Corruptor), Kopikat (Assault Rifle/Energy Blaster), Kawaiiju (Claws/Fiery Aura Brute).

Baron Brass Hero Magic Controller Fire Control Kinetics Leaping
Costume 1 Baron Brass actually started out as a planned nemesis for my steampunk-ish hero Clank on Crucible Element MUX, but despite being approved in theory, I never managed to get a specific version approved. After getting the Mystic Pack, I decided I could probably do a good job of echoing the look, but I decided to go with a hero. Like most Controllers, he's a bit slow in solo play.
Everyone knows Nemesis is no longer active. But if any of his plans were still in motion, one of them might involve an attempt to bind a soul to a clockwork creation to create a new type of mechanical man. And if such a Nemesis plot did exist, and went slightly awry by, say, binding the soul of an old man killed in a Rikti bombing, this new sort of mechanical man might find himself unwilling to work for someone who may or may not have been Nemesis. Is this Baron Brass's origin? Maybe...or maybe it's all a Nemesis plot to lull the public into a false sense of security....
Battlecry: The world will be saved by steam (not enough room in the box for a ! there.)
Skwirl Torch Villain Magic Brute Fiery Melee Fiery Aura Leaping
Costume 1, With Veil Back during a spate of squirrel-immolation-caused power outages on campus, I made up a "Skwirl Torch" icon for Livejournal. Later on, it occurred to me that the demon-infested substations of Cap Au Diable might result in more than barbecued tamascuras. If I give her extra costumes, it'll probably just involve swapping out the bolero for one article of clothing she's taken a fancy to, rather than going for a significantly different look. I've taken to roleplaying her a little in that she hops around a lot when idle. Fighting "Daddy" (Deathsurge is made of the power that mutated her). Veils can't go with boleros, so the veil version has her naked except for the bridal veil.
Squirrels are clever enough to find their way inside electrical substations, but stupid enough to try finding their way inside electrical substations. Normally, this just results in fried squirrel and a local power outage. But given the demon-infested nature of the substation outside the Cap Au Diable university campus, sometimes the electrical transformers have a more...interesting...transformative effect on the campus squirrel population.
Battlecry: Oooh, shiny. GIMME!
May Rodder Villain Science Corruptor Radiation Blast Radiation Emission Flight
Costume 1 Like Dee Spoiler, she's a Monsterpocalypse "K-girl" based on a Martian Menace unit. In this case, the fire support flyer called the Marauder. These fly on conical beams of green energy, hence the green skirt and boots. May is a member of the Department of Irradiation, and needs to have words with the Department of Jetpack Suppression.
May is just a normal citizen of the Rogue Isles, seeking to make her fortune. She is not involved in any invasion force staging from Mars. In fact, it is ludicrous to even suggest that Mars is being used as a staging ground for an alien invasion. And such an invasion would certainly not be preceded by infiltration units modified to appear attractive to your filthy human tastes. Besides, if they were, they'd probably have larger breasts, right? You can trust May, she's not here to help take over the planet for any alien masters.
Battlecry: Remember Area 51!
Kopikat Hero Technology Blaster Assault Rifle Energy Manipulation Stealth, Teleportation
Costume 1, Boots changed, Katena outfit Kopikat has shown up in my Legion of Net.Heroes writing, Superguy, RoboMACs...she bounces around. The Superguy version is explicitly a nanoconstructed copy of the previous version, who was an uploaded human mind in a robot body. So the current one in Superguy is at least a copy of a copy, if not more deeply nested. She should really be a tanker with Invulnerability and a gun-based secondary, but there's no guntanks (or guncannons) in CoH. So I decided her elemental powers got further reduced in this translation. This is what she looks like in Exarchs (my Superguy series), the big boots are because she's made of living marble and would tend to damage floors otherwise. The Katena costume is a rough approximation of what she looked like before the "This" design.
Kat Anders is...complicated. Over 120 years old, she started live in the mid 22nd Century on a shattered Earth where one faction of giant robots protected the remnants of humanity from another faction. Since then, she's passed through countless realities (spending significant time in three of them) and her mind has been copied into at least four bodies other than the one she was born in. She knows she's not the original Kat, just a copy. She also knows that this body is weaker than most of those "Kat" has lived in, but computer security in this era is laughable and she simply redirected some kinetic augmenter gauntlets and boots from an Arachnos shipment and learned to hack the Paragon City teleporter network.
Battlecry: Existential angst? What's that?
Kawaiiju Villain (for now) Mutation Brute Claws Fiery Aura Leaping
Uncostumed, Ultra Mode, Attempting clothing This is a "generic" K-Girl, a female anthropomorphization that's meant to look like it's based on a kaiju (i.e. Godzilla and his ilk). I may later backwards-design the "original" kaiju. I originally intended to have her in a bikini as her base costume, but I found by accident that (at least on my graphics setup) if the Mesh costume pattern is too close to the skin tone it just vanishes. So she's unclothed, but in that toonish fashion like Donald Duck is pantsless. She was designed to be a cute pet rather than a sex toy, you see. But even a pet shouldn't be setting fire to the furniture. Anyway, she was made with the intent of turning heroic once Going Rogue comes out, since I don't have a lot of villains who feel right doing a face turn (although my other fiery Brute, Skwirl Torch, could certainly go that way). I have since made up the kaiju she would be an anthropomorph of, Kentromachus the kentrosaur-ish beast. So, her "real name" would therefore be Kendra Marcos. Ultra Mode makes use of the Organic Armor costume pieces.
A lot of strange hybrids find themselves suddenly free after some heroic or villainous raid on a Crey lab. The more dangerous ones tend to get tracked down right away, but no one was too worried about model KJU-6...she hadn't really been intended for combat. More of a pet, really, although her internal temperature was a little too high and KJU-7 was slated to be the final version. But with all her creators under arrest and officially disavowed and all the research destroyed, there will never be a KJU-7. Probably for the best, really. She destroys things because she doesn't know any better, but maybe one day she'll learn.
