When I got home last night, Margie was busy running Toxic Sister, trying to get her to level to Sister Chinook so we could try that combo.
I’d reached one of those decisions I never realize I’ve reached until the cusp comes and went ahead and (sniff) deleted Selene (after passing on her worldly possessions ot Toxic Sister. She was the second character I did, but she just wasn’t working for me.
Then I rebuilt onto Champion Suzy Atom, the Inv/Energy tanker I’d played with on Infinity, and went around trying her out. I’d done some research and come up with most of the build I wanted for her, at least in the first dozen levels or so. And I had a lot of fun up through Kitten’s dinner time.
Well, Margie swung by and saw what I was doing. And when I said that Suzy would be good to duo with a squishie, if she had a character in mind, she built on to Champion Star Protector, a Dark/Storm defender. And while I was up seeing Kitten to bed, got him levelled up to Suzy. Then we spent the evening carving through Hellions like butter.
I think the team-up is going to work.
The second half of the evening was getting into some Consortium play. Suzy and Star were out levelling in front of Galaxy City HQ, when I spotted someone whose name was familiar …
Ah. That someone, Synoptic, had applied to join Consortium, with a fun backstory, and with Hyperthermian (whose player I know) vouching for her. Now I’ve been assuming that most of the applicants I get are alts, so I was kind of thinking Synoptic was an alt of Hyperthermian’s character — but, it turned out, not, as Hype’s player not only chatted with Margie while I was chatting with Synoptic, he later joined us (as did Avocet, making it quite a party).
Suzy said a few things, went inside, and Psi-clone made a hurried appearance. We RPed the interview more than I was expecting, and, in the end, enlisted Synoptic as a new member. Woo-hoo.
Still have no idea who she is, though I now know more of who she isn’t. The “faces behind the masks” aspect of CoH is always kind of interesting to me.

Some fun RP with you, Hyperthermian, and Synoptic. I was so intrigued by something Hyper said that I googled him. Ah. That explains it! I’ve teamed with some of his alts.
Synoptic was very interesting, too. I was afraid that she would find Avocet to be a stuffed shirt, but apparently not. Rather gratifying, that.
I noticed that two more heroes were inducted into the CoJ shortly afterward. Of course, you didn’t have too much trouble meeting and interviewing those two, did you?
Well, it did take a little bit of coordination, since they still have to be sginvited in by a SG commander. But it was worthy it — they’re pretty good people, from my experience.
Syn’s player actually had a chance to team up with Psi-Clone on the recent Doc V mission, if that’s any help at all.
We’d been talking about enrolling Syn in the Consortium prior to that, but it was a comment that Thorne made about ‘playing with the minds of the weak’ that made her think “Oh yeah, I’m gonna like this guy.”
Syn, on the other hand? Just another stuffed shirt father figure she doesn’t want and desperately needs. 🙂
Hmmmmm …
