Margie and I have finally gotten around to doing a husband-and-wife team — Mr. and Mrs. Azure. He’s an MA/Reg Scrapper, she’s a Mind/FF Controller, and together THEY FIGHT CRIME.
Actually, they have a rather fun backstory, but for the moment they just appear to be super-spy agent types who engage in the sort of romantic byplay and rhetorical quipping of Nick and Nora Charles and similar husband-and-wife teams. (I actually have another pair in mind, but I don’t want to belabor the matter too much.)
(While I’m sure someone will draw a parallel to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it’s completely coincidental. The Thunderclaps were an earlier version of this duo/concept.)
We spent a fair amount of time over the weekend running this pair, getting them up to 8. Lots of deaths — hey, I’m playing a scrapper — but so far I’m pretty pleased by how its going.
Actually, in some ways, this pair is the opposite of Psi-clone and Amorpha, power-wise at least. Mind and Illusion Controllers are pretty similar, power-wise (though having the bubbles vs empathy does make a diff), and DM and MA Scrappers have a lot of close parallels as well. A very different dynamic, personality-wise, but from gameplay I can understand what Margie’s doing, and she can follow my own issues and problems, and we both have ended up advising each other on character builds.
Next thing up for them will be getting them into the Alliance (since I think their chatter will be the most fun with them). I’d been planning on bringing them into the Consortium, just for sake of ease, but Margie was mentioning going in as Allies. Either would work; we’ll see.
And, hrm, yeah, we need to get some pics posted … (we did get some nice tells about their matching uniforms while we were running about yesterday).

Yeah…I saw that you had these two on yesterday, and decided that they were the new husband/wife team.
Sounds like it should be fun to play.
But do you really want to be part of Team Evil?
Also, Picked up Repulsion Bubble with Puck Sunday, still trying to learn to use it. I found that it was great for blocking hallways, and forcing baddies back at then tank. Still need to work on how to use it effectively.
Well, that’s the thing — the Azures should not be part of Team Evil. Of course, not everyone there is that (I can think of at least one exception).
I saw them in Global when they were level 1! Wondered when you’d get around to the official unveiling.
Well, consider this the Sneak Preview to their Official Unveiling. 🙂
There are about four total allies that arn’t evil, and one of those is thinking of joining the Phoenix Guard as soon as they can come up with a plot to justify the move.
Thinkin’ more and more Consortium here.
Psi-clone would be willing to do it, after a chat with them.
