Continuing my series of City of Heroes characters, server by server …<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Our toons on Exalted were a more recent\u00a0phenomenon, with the server opened up for play for VIP members only with the introduction of CoH’s Free-to-Play option. We weren’t interested it for the hoity-toity VIP exclusivity so much as it was another server to populate, especially with a variety of new power sets that came out in the last year of the game.<\/p>\n

I think we also pushed a bunch of toons onto this server before they turned off new Level Pacts being created. (LPs were one of the greatest concepts in CoH, and I was very disappointed they never got them turned back on).<\/p>\n

One problem with Exalted was that it was introduced late enough, and our character there young enough that I don’t have much in the way of photos of them. And Margie didn’t get more than just a couple of characters snapshotted during our last week. \u00a0Darn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a half-dozen\u00a0Jack Byzantine<\/strong> variations scattered across the servers. Not to be confused with\u00a0John Constantine<\/em>, the rain-coated smoking magician usually was a Mastermind, especially in this last edition (up to lvl 21) as a Demons MM. Margie’s counterpart was\u00a0Brimstone Bound,<\/strong><\/em> a Brute.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Grey Haunt<\/strong> was another one I had multiple versions of, the ghost from the 1930s who is out to seek revenge as a Mind Controller (or sometimes Illusion Controller), instilling fear in the hears of others. Air\/Wind secondary, as I recall. This one reached 20. He ran with\u00a0Imperial Jade<\/strong><\/em>, a Brute.<\/p>\n

We managed to not get pictures of either of Margie’s characters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Morgaine Darkchilde<\/strong> was just an excuse to create a buxom witch with the new Dark Blast power. Plus the name was fun. She made it to 18, along with her partner, Electric Lass,<\/em><\/strong><\/em> a Tank.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Golden God<\/strong> was sort of scary fun. He was a scrapper using the short-lived Titan Weapon skill set. He was another scrapper+scrapper combo, working with\u00a0Golden Temptation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>They made it up to 15. \u00a0We don’t have a picture of her, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rifleman<\/strong> was was modeled after Chuck Conner’s TV character of the same name, crossed with a Cowboys-and-Aliens<\/em> twist, as some interesting gauntlets provided an alien Energy Rifle (blaster, 12). \u00a0ER was an interesting combo power set. I wish I’d had more of a chance to play with it. He didn’t bat an eye running with\u00a0Troll Babe<\/strong><\/em>, a Brute. And, again, no pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the 10-and-under set, Bacchante\u00a0<\/strong>used the new Water Blaster power, combined with power customization, to make it look like she was a Wine blaster. I believe she was paired with Margie’s (unpictured) Minutiae\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(a Defender).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also had another version of Velvet<\/strong>, going full-out for the trailer trash look (though reminding me here of Tandy from\u00a0Strangers in Paradise).\u00a0<\/em>She was a SS\/Willpower Scrapper, this time out, which was a lot more fun. To go with her was Agent Psiren<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there’s another version of\u00a0Tyger-Tyger<\/strong>, the burning-bright fire\/fire scrapper. Alas, he was a Red-side character, so unlikely to ever advance anywhere. Ran with\u00a0El Cid<\/strong>,<\/em> a controller. They made it to 8.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unified Fieldman<\/strong> used the steampunk costumes to good effect. He was a Grav\/Time controller, which seemed appropriately physical, but never got out of Praetoria. Ran with\u00a0Divine Retribution<\/em><\/strong>, a scrapper, up to 7<\/p>\n

Call o’ the Wild<\/strong> was a beast elemental (and Wolves MM). Ran with\u00a0Chaotic Order<\/strong><\/em>, a scrapper.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last there is\u00a0Calling Time<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>one of Margie’s toons (Lvl 12 Defender, obviously with the Time power set).<\/p>\n

Some of these may have eventually become big successes, but that clearly hadn’t been thrashed out yet.<\/p>\n

Honorable Mention<\/span> on this server to Shadow Moll (perfect name for a Dark scrapper who had the power “Shadow Maul”) and, along the same lines, another version of Lynne Calodo as a solo Dark\/Inv scrapper.<\/em><\/p>\n
