| Penny Gunn | Hero | Magic Tanker | Ice | Ice | Leaping, Fitness | |
| Costume 1, Costume 2 (only tweaked the comet), Ultra Mode! and Mega Mode!, Formal Outfit. | Penny is a "k-girl", an anthropomorphic female verison of a kaiju, based on my penguin kaiju Pengonn. She's the first character on whom I used the tailor, since I decided that the comet symbol I originally used wasn't very good. And since she started on the same server as Sharon, I was able to spread some of that riddle Influence around. Her second costume is mostly just turning her existing one as red as possible for the "Ultra Mode" from Monsterpocalypse, and making her hair longer. Thanks to a friend who was getting out of the game, I got a bunch of the Halloween salvage and got Penny a third costume slot ahead of L30, so made the Mega form's "candy corn" look. When I get her to L30, I may give her a Quantum form. I used one of the holiday event free server transfers to move her to Pinnacle from Virtue, so she could join an ice-themed subgroup of my Pinnacle Super Group, Heroes ex Miscellanea. My second character overall, but not my first "native" to Pinnacle. | |||||

You know how some people go on spirit quests and get a totem animal? A wolf,
a squirrel, a bear...that sort of thing. Penelope got a giant space
penguin. And now that it's aware of Earth, it's on its way here, but she has
until 2026 to get ready to stop it.

| Enforcer 1003 | Hero | Technology Tanker | Invulnerability | Super-Strength | Flight, Fitness | |
| Costume 1, Costume 2, Costume 2 in SG mode with aura, Roman Outfit, Vanguard Costume 1, Vanguard Costume (completed), Chibi Drawing. | Enforcer 1003 is a character from my RoboMACs RPG's Exodus setting. The original has a horizontal stripe across the chest, a 1003 serial number over where the heart would be on a human, a more dome-like helmet (think Juggernaut) and a gun-arm. But this got reasonably close. I made him because I was tired of server lag on Virtue, but no one I knew had characters on Champion, so I asked around to see where people actually were, and the ones who answered mostly said Pinnacle. After so many mystic arcs, I decided he needed a trenchcoat. He's also become something of a temporary power hoarder, as seen here. Also, ow. And whoog. He did finally finish the Imperious Task Force, and was my first character to hit L40. Being in an active SG really helps. He was not, however, my first L50. Rather, he was my third L50. :) In attempting the Mender Silos Taskforce, he spent a lot of time in the fail boat. | |||||

From a shard where Artificial Intelligences conquered the world, Enforcer
1003 was a guinea pig for an experiment that attempted to duplicate the human
rebellion's interdimensional power source (Enforcers being at the bottom of
the robotic heirarchy), and he ended up in Paragon City. However, his
programming doesn't include conquest: the Enforcer series is all about
maintaining law and order. So, once he'd downloaded the local laws and
orders, he set about doing his job. He misses the orderliness of his home
reality, but he's not one to complain. He did symbolically break with his
past by replacing the horizontal red band across his torso with a vertical
one. Hey, for his people, that's a pretty radical fashion statement.
Battlecry: You have five seconds to comply. | ||||||
| Kazengar | Villain | Technology Brute | Electrical Melee | Energy Assault | Flight, Fitness | |
| Costume 1, With "Jet Scrander", With Lady Lawful, with cape, Getter Dragon style, Gaiking style, Getter Liger style, Getter Poseidon style. | Yes, an obvious lift of Mazinger, made so that I'd have a villain on Pinnacle as well. This is as close as I could get to Mazinger without buying the cyborg pack that reportedly has the round shoulders. Well, I could also have made him black instead of dark blue, but I was using a toy for reference and it was dark blue. I tried a bunch of options for the head in the Getter Robo 1 riff, but settled on te longhorns and dual sat. Between some defensive powers and a few Damage Over Time effects, the Getter Robo design looked really cool after almost being taken out by an ambush. First villain to L50! | |||||

An experimental battle suit simply didn't want to work, and it was all but
given up on. But some doomed researcher decided to try bringing magic into
the mix...and attracted an evil lightning spirit, which inhabited the
armor. The spirit has lost its more mystic abilities, but is more than
satisfied with the technological terror it has become!
Battlecry: Thunderfist, GO! | ||||||
| Edvard Munchkin | Hero | Magic Defender | Sonic Resonance | Sonic Attack | Leaping | |
| Costume 1, Costume 2, iPod costume. | This one is a pun-based character, and I figured I'd give Defender a try. He's at the absolute minimum size (all sliders at the left side) and I got as close as I could to "The Scream" without having a full robe available. Another character I've largely abandoned once the novelty wore off, since he doesn't solo very well. Costume 2 swaps in the Baron coat and foot wraps, plus I took advantage of I16 to gloom up his sonic powers. Still no robes available, per se, even with the Magic Booster. | |||||

Once there was a supervillain who could make drawings and paintings come to
life and control them as minions. But he never realized that some paintings
wouldn't WANT to live, and when he animated a print of Edvard Munch's
"Scream" it turned on him and helped the heroes win the battle. Since then,
this animated image has found he can't return to the sleep of the page, and
seeks to become powerful enough to force his "father" to undo what he has
done.
Battlecry: (an inarticulate howl of pain) | ||||||
| Dee Spoiler | Villain | Mutation Corruptor | Assault Rifle | Radiation Emission | Flight | |
| Costume 1, Mell Kelly disguise | This is another K-girl, this time of the canonical Despoiler unit from the Martian Menace. I manage to namecheck most of the Martian units in her note. Her second costume is a cunning disguise as a perfectly harmless human. | |||||
|
The Rikti are yesterday's news! Dee is here as part of the vanguard of an
invasion force massing on Mars! These marauders are out to reap Earth's
resources, and hunters like Dee are arriving in their saucers to find the
weak spots in Earth's defenses. Powered by and feasting upon radiation, Dee
enjoys environments that most humans find hazardous.
Battlecry: (alien gibberish) | ||||||
| Jimmy Nishimura | Hero | Magic Scrapper | Dark Melee | Regeneration | Speed, Jumping | |
| Costume 1, With "Kamina Cape". | Jimmy's a character I made for a short-lived Scion campaign run on Livejournal, a street-racing scion of Set. I was pondering giving the Speed pool another try, given that my one previous speedster (Terra-Ryze) was unsatisfying for other reasons as well, and Jimmy seemed a reasonable character to reuse for it. Original drawing from December 2008. When it came time to give him a Kamina style cape, I wasn't happy with any of the tattered patterns, so just went with flames. | |||||

"So, after I beat this Yakuza guy in a HIGHLY illegal street race in Tokyo,
some dude shows up and tells me I'm the son of Set. The Egyptian god. Yeah,
right. He also tells me the Yaks are coming to kill me, which is a lot more
believable, so I got out of Japan for a while. Turns out the Set part might
be not too out there either, since now I can move faster on foot than any
car, and I control these freaky shadow sands. So I guess if the Yakuza come
looking for me now, I'll show them a manly fist to the face!"
Battlecry: Who the hell do you think I am? | ||||||
| Nyxi | Hero | Warshade | Umbral Blast | Umbral Aura | (no pool yet) | |
| Costume 1, Winter Costume, Task Force Etiquette Costume. | Oh, I'm sure this isn't the first perky Warshade, but I had just gotten the belly shirts for the 9 month Veteran reward, and I didn't want to play a stereotypical emo squid Warshade. Plus I felt that a Nictus that didn't want to stay inside all the way would be a good excuse for the shoulder pet costume piece (she calls her Nictus "Percy"). Not shown is her third outfit, which is basically Costume 1 with earmuffs and the gloves and boots from Candy Cane Salvage. And a scarf. "Task Force Etiquette" is a livejournal in-joke. Someone as asking about etiquette for task forces, and I thought "Task Force Etiquette" would be a cool TF name, but everyone would have to have monocles and fancy dress. I considered the Magic Bolero for this, but I wouldn't have gotten to keep Percy. | |||||

Nicole "Nikki" Ramsey was always a bit of a joiner. On more clubs in high
school than there were clubs, as far as anyone could tell, but so perky and
energetic that it didn't affect her grades. So, when that cute guy on the
streetcorner was recruiting for the Council, she figured "why not?" And with
the inroads the returned Fifth Column was making, the Council couldn't be too
picky. It helped that she'd been in the target shooting and martial arts
clubs, so she was already as good as most Nebula troops. And when the call
went out for more Nictus fragment volunteers to replentish those depleted
ranks, she thought it sounded neat! Of course, when a Nictus fragment met
Nikki's personality, it instantly crumbled under the terrible, horrible
PERKY. The Warshades ended up accepting the new Nyxi into their ranks, but
can they survive her?
Battlecry: Oh, wow, Percy, look at that! | ||||||
| Operative Brubaker | Villain | Arachnos Soldier | Arachnos Soldier | Training and Gadgets | Flight | |
| Wolf Spider Armor, Hero Disguise 1 (Dirty Angel), Hero Disguise 2 (Pretty Arachnid Soldier Sailor Spider), First three with Crab Spider backpack. | The high concept for this one is Kei of the Dirty Pair as an Arachnos, but Kei has no canonical last name, so the "Operative (last name)" construction wouldn't really work. So I mixed in my Agent Brubaker of I'm With The Government And I'm Here To Help from my Superguy series, to make Kay Brubaker. The first new costume slot you get at L10 for Arachnos Soldiers is in-story a hero costume for a misdirection mission, so I made an homage to Kei that way. I plan to take her on the Crab Spider path for the blasty legs and the cute little spiderlings. Maybe I'll make a Bane Spider someday based on Yuri. The second non-Arachnos costume is a Sailor Moon riff inspired by a "Punish the Embezzlers" mission I had just before hitting L20. "In the name of Arachnos, I punish you!" I suspect anime parody will be her theme. | |||||

Once, Kay Brubaker was just another orphan in Haven House, someone whose
dreams were doomed to be crushed by that false crusader, Westin Phipps. But
Kay was bright enough to figure out the real score (with the help of some odd
Television programs) and she successfully convinced Phipps he'd be better off
letting her get a proper education than trying to dispose of her body. By
the time she was old enough to leave Haven House, she was one of the few
women accepted into the Arachnos Soldier program. Now she's Operative
Brubaker. She's with the government, and she's here to help...herself.
Battlecry: No, I'm NOT a Widow. | ||||||
| Yinlong | Hero | Natural Tanker | Electric Armor | Dual Blades | Flight, Fitness | |
| Regular Costume, Jammer Cyborg Costume, Netherworld Scavenger Costume. | This is Ting Ting from the Shadowfist/Feng Shui game, or as close as I could manage. Given how Ting Ting is treated in the card game (i.e. all effort made to kill her instantly), I figured she drew aggro like a tanker. The faction she's part of in Shadowfist is the Dragons, aka the Silver Dragons, and Yinlong means "silver dragon". :) Dianlong means electric dragon, an extra pun in her "civilian" name. The reason there's no punctuation in her battle cry is that I ran out of characters. She was my first toon to experience Monkey Mode! | |||||
|
Long Ting Ting (Americanized to Diane Long) has known about the secret war
through time itself since she was a child. Her parents were part of a small
group known as the Silver Dragons, heroes who sought to keep any one faction
from gaining dominion over time. Most of the Silver Dragons are now dead,
but Ting Ting's lifelong training in chi manipulation has given her the power
to try to carry on the mission herself, if need be. She knows of the
mysterious Menders, and is willing to work with them should they approach
her, but she's not sure she trusts them. For now she is the last of the
Silver Dragons, or Yinlong.
Battlecry: Back to the Netherworld with you | ||||||
| Branefreeze | Hero | Mutation Blaster | Psychic Blast | Ice Manipulation | Flight | |
| Costume 1 | This one was created simply because I realized I had no blaster to contribute to my Pinnacle SG, plus only one flying character. So, casting about, I saw I hadn't done Psychic Attack yet, and I hadn't really tried using the Bioluminescent pieces, so I sort of threw this one together from bits. Once I decided to go with Ice as a secondary, I knew the theme for the name, but "Brainfreeze" was already taken. If Branefreeze had also been taken, I'd have probably gone for Mr. Brainfreeze or maybe Brainfrieze (and add more patterns to the outfit). A better look at Bioluminescence in action. | |||||

A lot of mutants still get to be pretty. Dirk Soames wasn't one of those.
Okay, so his exposed brain isn't actually tender or vulnerable, as it
generates some sort of force field...but that same field tends to destroy
anything he puts on his head, including hoods, hats, wigs, etc. Of course,
it's hardly his only inhuman characteristic. Many would have turned to
villainy out of bitterness, especially a psi who knows exactly how horrified
people are by his appearance, but Dirk's fundamental ethos isn't so easily
shaken. And he figures that if he becomes a superhero, odds are better he'll
meet a girl who doesn't find his appearance too odd.
Battlecry: I think you should stop. | ||||||
