Rrg.
Somehwere, somehow, I got the impression that server transfer might be on the table for Issue 4 — shifting heroes between servers. But it now doesn’t look like that’s the case (or, at least, I can’t find any reference to it).
I’m sure there’s some very good reason for that, but it’s irksome. Because it means that if I want to (a) play some of the alts I’ve rolled up lately and am intrigued by, and (b) play with the friends and groups on Champion that I’m used to, I need to (c) free up some slots on Champion.
Who’s staying …
- Velvet Jones – No chance. She’s a fixture. And fun. And she just picked up a new casual outfit from Icon.
- Psi-clone – Again, definitely staying. Way too much of an investment. And I like the powers. And he’s making a name for himself.
- Torchielle – I like her. I like the power set, the look, the character. She’s staying.
Who’s (probably) staying …
- Truly Unstable – Fun. Crazy. Rad/Rad. Short and frenetic and oversexed and going insane. What’s not to enjoy?
- O F F I C E R – Also fun, and doing pretty well, even if I’m just not Scrapper material as a player.
- Sister Chinook – I got inspired as to Ice as Margie was looking at some guides, so I’m going to give SC (who I like, visually) another chance.
Who’s (probably) going …
- Honeygun – If I want a blaster, I’ll go with Torchielle. I’ve decided that AR/Dev is just too annoying as a power set.
- Selene – Trying a respec on her, but it might be easier just to do something different altogether. If I want a scrapper, I have OFFICER.
Who’s (probably) coming …
- Molly Magpie – Grav/Bubble. She’s fun, she’s sweet, she’s enjoyable to play, I like her visually ..
- Taste of Honey – Honeygun’s “replacement.” She went down into the caverns … and came back … changed …
- Suzy Atom – The power-packed mighty maid of, um, mighty power. Perky. Inv/Energy Tank.
Those are the three alts I generated that I’ve been thinking of the most, which makes them most likely to come on board. Though, as you can see, I have three of them, and only two “sure” slots to replace. Yes, that is a problem.
And this doesn’t even count the “Mr. & Mrs. Thunderclap” pair that Margie and I want to play, or the Princess Kittenyboo I have in mind.
And that doesn’t mention the question of how to find time to do all of these concepts justice …
I’m sure I’ll think of something.
I was going to ask you if you were planning on “writing out” any of your characters, rather than simply deleting them. I just saw Honeygun’s post on the CoJ boards, and I guess I don’t need to ask after all. (It would be neat if she were sidekicked on a tough mission, and got taken out, only this time…it’s permanent. Imagine the angst the other heroes would have to live with! It’s Bucky, all over again!)
The “OMG The MedCom System Didn’t Work!” bit has, alas, been done to death. But you’re right — some sort of in-story write-out is probably better than abrupt and unceremonious retirement.
Well…She was in on the CaT task force, and looking like we would do it again.
Kidnapped by CoT folks and hauled off to Orenbega for punishment. Would provide some sort of loooong temr story arc when one of our alts get’s to that point.
Hmmm. That sounds like work. Though it would certainly fit with my fiendish plans …
I hope you don’t mind my laying a bit of groundwork last night. I tried to keep it vague enough that it could tie in with anything you decided to do, even if it turned out to be simply deleting the character.
I apologize for busting in on a mission to do it. I had checked the Supergroup listing to see who was online. If I had checked Global, I would have seen that you were on a map. Hope I didn’t distract anybody at a crucial moment. (For that matter, I didn’t even stop to think that some of the heroes had never even met HG. Oops.)
Actually, it was a very nice, and unexpected, bit of RP to go through. Premature (though you had no way of knowing it) — I’ve left it vague as to when HG may do something … precipitous. (Actually, that’s a good choice of words, if we’re talking about the Hollows.) Not immediately (and if we ever do CaT, she’ll likely be the one to be there. Unless I have others up that far by then), but eventually.
Anyway, Avocet’s concern is noted, and HG would be touched, in an annoyed sort of way. 🙂
