My gaming activities over the past week have led to all sorts of fine ideas for even more alts. Because that is, of course, exactly what I need. (If I said I was running out of space across all servers with alts I’ve generated, one should not be surprised.)
Some of the fun ones …
- The return of Honeygun, in various flavors. I found the AR Blaster set to be really annoying back in the day, but that’s because the “super soaker” AR was a butt-ugly weapon to be carrying around. I11 will provide some much more attractive alternatives.
- A Sten analog, complete with 80s-paperback-cover hair, cool camoflage tech outfit, and both a Gurkha kukri and a crystal dagger. That would be the plan under the Dual Weapons primary, of course, planned for I11 but available to those lucky souls who are in the closed beta.
- “Punchin’ Judy” — okay, I admit that I saw someone with that name, and determined I must have an alt with the same name.
- “Warm Fuzzy.” Surely one can create a teddy-bear Fire Controller.
- “Carmine Zuigiber” — a red-haired, red-garbed war correspondent and (as envisioned) some-sort-of-weaponed fire aura brute.
That’s not keeping me from exercising my current burgeoning stable of alts. I just dinged Lady Zebra to 23, for example.
Here’s one I thought of today:
“Lucky Star” — Lucy Starr was gazing up at the night sky when she saw a falling star. A moment later, she felt a searing pain in her chest. A tiny meteorite had lodged within her, granting her fantastic abilities. (suitable for gravity, radiation, flame, and whatever else you associate with stellar objects)
Since I’m no longer playing CoH, somebody else can have it (although I’d be surprised if the name hasn’t already been taken).
It seems likely, but one never knows.
For some reason, that reminded me of the beginning of “The Snow Queen”.
That was a bit of mirror, and not a meteorite, but…
I’m not sure I’d call myself “Lucky” if I were hit by a meteorite, but …
Pish tosh! Who hasn’t heard the survivor of a calamity referred to as “lucky”? Particularly those who gained super powers as a result! 😉
And I have no idea who or what the “Snow Queen” is. (At least, I didn’t until I looked it up. Hans Christian Andersen, eh?)
