Yes, I know. I already have too many CoH characters. Way too many. Even just on Champion I have way too many. And, of course, there are the various character concepts I have over on CoV, and discussion of games going on over there.
So, naturally, I should be playing with another alt. This one’s still on the “Triumph” test bed, but I expect to rebuild him on Champion once I get my extra CoV slots there. Presenting Al McGordo. He’s a Rad/Rad Defender, a friendly sort of cowpoke from down New Mexico way, who just got a mite too close to some bad mutogenic radiation …
Now, of course, he needs to keep a few feet from everyone. And that mask, well, it’s not just for Western ambience. But he’s right courteous to the ladies, and does his part to make the world a better place.
My intent for him is actually as an “Offender,” stressing the offensive nature of his Defender powers (because, let’s face it — eye beams are kick-ass). He’ll probably take a heal or two, just ’cause, but his main thing will be to blast the baddies — a blaster with nice debuffs, vs. a healer/buffer with a bit of damage thrown in.
Most important, he just seems like he’d be fun to play. I have a story for him, a voice, and he (so far) solos pretty well, if need be.
Assuming I can timeslice some play time for him, of course.
By the way, I think this is a kick-ass screen shot, and one reason I want to do this character.
I suppose he could be done as a villain, if need be (of a roguish style — “Sorry, ma’am, t’have t’do this, but …”), with a few mods on the costume. Though … don’t know if Rad shows up in CoV.
