On the back of my earlier post I feel that I have done what I set out to achieve in some ways…
Many moons ago I created a Blaster in the game City of Heroes, to get round a naming issue that stopped me using names that were previously attributed to the main stream comics world I used the name Polyphemus. The name is the name of the Cyclops in the Odyssey (blinded by Ulysses), the original plan was to create a complete rip off of Marvel’s Cyclops, in truth it wouldn’t have been that hard.
However I found two issues in way of my destiny, the first was I hate playing male characters (in CoH anyway) they look ugly and poorly animated, besides I have always wanted to look pretty and now was my chance…
The second was that finding a powerset that actually looked like the fictional Cyclops was impossible.
So I went with a close alternative of Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation, I played her a fair bit and did enjoy the game with her, however the beat ended and rather than create a new Nrg/Nrg blaster I went with a scrapper…
Move forward two years (or so) I now have my second Scrapper at 50 (Lost Ninja) Polyphemus has been re-rolled several times though only from one form of blaster to another. I make a Nrg/Devices blaster with the name of Lost Ninja on Union (EU Server), I forget why but managed to level her all the way to 35 before going on a sabbatical… (WoW & EVE)
By the time I logged in again 9+ months had passed, to content updates had happened and character transfer (server to server) had been introduced. I logged into the game played with some of my old characters, did some missions on my Scrapper, created a couple of duos (2 accounts). Then looking around for some new things to do I spotted my level 35 blaster on Union, I was a bit surprised because I hadn’t realised that I had a blaster on Union let alone one at level 35.
I transferred her over to Defiant (my home server), and over the last six weeks I have played her on a regular basis and today I finally got her to the level cap.
But that is not all, way back in i7 or so I created a somewhat FOTY Fire/Kin controller. I liked both sets, had a Kinetic Defender at 39 (at the time) so knew kinetics quite well, besides I had seen them in play and liked their pure damage potential. I created it purely for fun.
Nowadays of course with inventions and salvage Fire/Kin is one of the best setups for drop farming and power-levelling, which I will do!
So today shortly before my eons old Blaster finally hit the big 50 my only slightly less venerable Controller also hit 50.
