I&#8217;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&#8217;s dinner time.<br \/>\nWell, 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 <strong>Star Protector<\/strong>, 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.<br \/>\nI think the team-up is going to work.<br \/>\n<br clear=all><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2005-05-02_interview.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/images\/2005-05-02_interview.jpg\" width=\"426\" height=\"423\" class=\"right\" title=\"Psi-clone and Synoptic\" \/>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 &#8230;<br \/>\nAh.  That someone, Synoptic, had applied to join Consortium, with a fun backstory, and with Hyperthermian (whose player I know) vouching for her.  Now I&#8217;ve been assuming that most of the applicants I get are alts, so I was kind of thinking Synoptic was an alt of Hyperthermian&#8217;s character &#8212; but, it turned out, not, as Hype&#8217;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).<br \/>\nSuzy 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.<br \/>\nStill have no idea who she is, though I now know more of who she isn&#8217;t.  The &#8220;faces behind the masks&#8221; aspect of CoH is always kind of interesting to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
