Continuing my series of City of Heroes characters, server by server …
Triumph was a server we didn’t do a lot on as a pair — except for one very successful duo:
If at first you succeed, then try, try, again the same way. Having had a blast running Psi-clone up to 50 as an Illusion Controller, I rolled up Kitsune-Chan, also an Illusion Controller, except with Radiation as the secondary instead of Empathy. She was a kitsune Fox Spirit, and so convinced she was the Prettiest One There Is (with plenty of Illusions to back that up).
She was one of the two long-term characters I selected Super-Speed for as a travel power. There was a lot of visceral thrill to SS (and a Stealth buff), but zones with a lot of vertical movement were a real pain in the butt.
Margie rolled up Ex-Terra, a Spines/Invuln Scrapper. Aside from the whole fun of Illusion, the AoE of Radiation and Spines both made them extremely formidable. We dinged to 50 with them with very little trouble. They were a great pair.
I eventually rolled a somewhat different Kitsune over on Victory.
It’s kind of weird that we had a level 40 pair on Triumph but never really did that much more on the server.
I did make one last effort at the whole Rad Blaster thing with Allie McGordo (an obvious variant on the various Al McGordo’s over time), a Rad Corruptor who eventually made it up to 21 with her companion, Widow Shade. I think they eventually suffered the death of disinterest that most of our Red-side alts suffered.
I have no idea what kind of Controller Mrs. Soccer Mom was. She only made it up to Level 12 with her counterpart from Margie’s side (Mr. Soccer Dad).
I was always fascinated by Grav Controllers — at least in the “pull in a huge object from another dimension” aspect of their powers. Molly Magpie was a favorite for her name and costume design, and I soloed with her for a while, but soloing a Controller is a PitA, and she never got beyond 11.
The idea of a Living Egyptian Statue (Stone Tank) with a Pharaonic headpiece named [“They Call Me”] Mister Thebes was way too fun to never write up, but a boring character to solo beyond 6.
Yore was an Axe Tank. I never did anything with him, but I loved his look.
Honorable Mentions to Warbolt, Amethyst Crown, Mister Drake, Unchained Lightning, Panda Attack, and Captain Antares.
