Airhammer has been busy working on the Mark VII version of his armor. He has found a way along with Dr Dane Hammond to increase the defensive capabilities of his exosuit significantly. Dr Hammond finally found a way to integrate a module from Dr. Quatrexin's armor into the Airhammer Mark V.. Should they get the proper funding from the FIST. Dr Hammond also believes they will be able to upgrade the armors recovery and regenerative capabilities as well...
Dr Dane Hammond AKA Neutron however has had some challenges of his own. He has had difficulty maintaining control over his radioactive abilities. He has noticed that his powers increased in strength, he can cause matter to decay rapidly and even absorb that matter into himself. While this makes him more powerful it makes his desire to live a normal life again all but impossible.
Sandstorm has been attempting to increase terrakinetic abilities with the assistance of PsyFy who has mastered his pyrokinetic and psychic powers. He has had limited success.

Capt. Incompetent is learning his battle-cry of "I apologize!" in other languages. Unfortunately in German all he can remember is "Ich habe Gas." (I have gas.) Fortunately this does send people fleeing. :o

I imagine most of my characters continue to be fighting the good fight in Paragon. I've been re-imagining them in my own universe, for the most part.
-
Depends on whether we have to re-roll them or not.
If we do, then they have been lost in the trackless spaces between the worlds. When they finally find their way home, the journey has left them weak and drained. They are forced to start anew and recover to get back into the fight.
If we don't, then they will investigate the time slip that caused them to lose memory for 18 to 24 months. How could this have been done to so many heroes and villains? Did they lose time or were they slipped forward? What happened in the world while they were away? Was it just supers or were normal folk effected as well?
-
All I can hope is that they still exist in some hard drive in a dusty corner in the back of some old abandoned warehouse.

Little David has been hopping dimensions in journal-based roleplaying communities since the death of City of Heroes. His character journal is here. (http://megazero-to-superhero.dreamwidth.org)
Since around this time last year, he's been in Tower of Animus (http://towerofanimus.dreamwidth.org/tag/%5Bou%5D+david+pusk%C3%A1s), which had a premise befitting of a CoH refugee (something is destroying entire dimensions, but the Administratros of this Tower have been rescuing one person from each dimension to live there).
However, Tower of Animus is set to close soon as its plot nears its conclusion. After it's done, I might take him to one of the two superhero-themed games currently active in the Dreamwidth RP communities.
-
In my mind, my characters have been busy volunteering their services rebuilding ravaged areas while protecting the citizens.
-
Ocean Knight has been busy exploring the myriad unusual aquatic realms off the coast of Paragon and the Rogue Isles and studying the effects of the booming super culture on the surrounding marine life, bringing back any unique or dangerous specimens to his underwater base off the shore of Talos for safe keeping.
Magical Master has been indulging in his passion for performance and entertaining passersby on the street only to leap, unexpectedly, into action whenever trouble arises nearby. It's a great camouflage with his cheesy get-up and less-than-threatening demeanor, concealing immense mystical ability.
Space Blob has been working in a community outreach program with the "orphaned" Shivans in Bloody Bay, trying to decipher what they're talking about and find a way to help them possibly integrate into society and join the fight against their new, violent brethren. Speaking blob of extraterrestrial goo to blob of extraterrestrial goo seems to be helping the effort.
Squirrelman has been hanging out with his buddy Ryan Stone, both children of millionaires with decidedly hippy leanings. They've taken camping trips to Eden, Cimerora, Perez Park and Croatoa so far in an effort to stay in touch with mother earth, and along the way they've whipped some tail on the Devouring Earth for harshing Gaia's vibe, and taken care of any other threats that have disturbed the peace and sanctity of the wild.
Braintank has been helping Portal Corp researchers on expeditions to new/unknown dimensions, working as an indestructible bodyguard against any potential threats. In turn he's hoping that their research can help create a neural relay that will allow his brain to interface with a more life-like android body, allowing him to enjoy a semblance of a normal life again, as being an 8-foot tall military android with a floating brain in a jar for a head kind of cuts into your social capabilities.
Johnny Fabulous has partnered with Serge and is currently working as a super-model billboard for Icon, wearing exclusively Serge-designed costumes and plugging Icon services whenever possible. He's enjoying a return to the limelight after his hero work cut into the shooting schedule for his reality fashion show so much that it was cancelled. Just watch for the flash of hot pink and white leather overhead, and remember to stop in at Icon for a look that will take you from Super, to Stupendous!

Most of my toons retired and some of the villains (Vicious Vicki) turned over a new leaf (by appearance but not method per se) in a new city. She might return as a hero to the old city.
-
My characters are all dreaming with extra-dimentional avatars, yada yada, go figure :).
I'm honestly unsure how to rp CoX's return, when it is back online. I certainly don't plan to stay in CO, only reason I stay with that game is the rpers I hang out with, even then I don't show up all that often anymore.
-
A great cosmic event has destroyed the worlds of CoH, but brave efforts of those in this world might restore that lost universe. . .

Xarah (Energy/Energy Blaster), Xindy (Spines/Regen scrapper) and Xophia (Grav/Kin controller) have been in stasis, but those pods have been glowing a funny shade of purple lately. Who knows how much time in a stasis pod 7-foot tall, blue-skinned, 85-pound alien women can endure without so much as a healthy glass of wootgratz juice?
Granny? (Warshade), Red Granny (Fire/Fire tank) and Green Granny (Empathy/Energy Defender) have mostly been drinking way too much single-malt scotch and bitching about how the powers-that-be don't know nothin' and screwed it all up. They're surly, but I'm not entirely sure I disagree. They seem to be hunched over more each day, and I'm afraid one of them might end up permanently face-planted. Hopefully old age won't catch up to them before it's too late.
The spice girls ("Cardamalm", "Nutmegan", "Coriandra", Kin/various controllers) have taken respectable day jobs, ditched the masks and the tights and gone with middle-age pant suits. Accounting is every bit as challenging as kinetics, and pays much better. Who knows if they'll even return? Controllers always had it rough in Paragon City, especially venturing out with no group support onto the Triumph server. No respect, I tells ya.
Sofa Kingdom (Inv/SS tank) just don't care. If he can get back to smashing bad guys he'd maybe smile more, but collecting garbage around suburban Phoenix ain't too bad a gig. At $17/hr he can do double shifts and not even break a sweat, then spend all night hanging out with the grannies, swigging cheap beer, smiling and nodding every so often (so they don't get pissed off at him). He still chants his moniker, under his breath, in fond remembrance of the adoring townsfolk who gazed at their watches, jogged by and waved, scratched their temples and shook their heads into their newspaper headlines as they strode past him in the streets chanting his name "so fuh king dum, so fuh king dum..."

Well, just as there are the Rikti and the true Rikti, my team is is banishing the true Pantheon (NCSoft).
I'm basically watching on with kid-like wonder with my nose against the glass waiting for that key to randomly fit into the activator to neutralize the paralytic fluid around The Habitat in that Aeon Flux episode, so that my toons may swim free again.

Okay the last line had me ROFLMAO.

Metal Britches escaped to Millennium City, as did Captain Patriot (after a costume and name change to Paragon Protector, "picking up the mantel" of Statesman). Darkwing Turducken made it out separately, completing the transition to full-on hero, also changing his costume, using The Family as inspiration.
The rest fell defending the city...
-
Very cool thread...I have to think about this a while...
Hmmmm...

Mitsurugi Misawa has used funds gathered from selling technology from his former company to further increase the abilities in his own unique exosuit project " Aka Furasshu ".. The Red Flash... He can now utilize up to four separate teleportation attacks in addition to the electrical attacks the armor posses. In terms of pure speed he is quite possibly the fastest member of the organization known as The Retribution..

Mab, Queen of Winter - ponders the Paragon world from Arctis Tor and time moves as she wishes it to within her walls.
The full Winter Court has been summoned and she awaits her Knight - Harry Dresden to appear. Between the pulses of electrons Mab waits patiently as the mortal world is in turmoil and Mab is facing an incursion from the Outsiders. Once they are sent howling in defeat the mortal world will once again begin to turn. Summoned to her Court is Carillion and she sings of the beautiful, terrible Winter.

Did they lose time or were they slipped forward? What happened in the world while they were away? Was it just supers or were normal folk effected as well?
This is basically my take on the situation. When City of Titans launches, I will declare them reincarnated into another universe after the destruction of their own. That they are some of those lucky few who managed to escape...mostly intact, but yes, having to start over again.

My namesake Bold, is busy trying to restore/rebuild his SG, and getting a handle on leadership
Peppy was married Dec. 1, 2012 (Isn't that terrible?) and is probably becoming more and more of a domestic and spending less and less time harassing Archanos (Her favorite pastime).
I think, all and all, most of my toons are in a rebuilding phase of their lives, bonding with friends/family, and taking it slightly slower on the streets. That'll change when we get our city back.
-
I want all my stuffz :gonk:. Okay, not really. I'd be totally fine re-rolling, and I bet we'd all get over it within minutes just to be able to actually play again.
I probably suck at playing by now, and would have to re-learn anyway. I cannot see how they could combine databases from all (12, was it?) servers, with all the character name overlap. A clean slate might be nice in some ways. It would free up lots of supergroup names that were "still there" but never really used, and eliminate all the existing name-sitting characters.
But if we do have to re-roll everything, I will definitely be running the fire/fire tanker first, then the warshade, since either of those can easily help fund everything else I want to do.
-
I've said this before, but as far as I'm concerned, it's business as usual for my characters. I can't log in and experience their adventures with them, but they're still having them.
I remade a couple of them on Champions (with mixed success), and will probably remake some of them on City of Titans (and/or Valiance Online and/or Heroes and Villains) when I can, but those will be explicitly alternate-universe analogues, not the same characters.
If CoH comes back without our characters, I'll remake my favorites (possibly with slightly tweaked powersets - I definitely want Thunder Glove to be Elec/Elec instead of Elec/Inv) and start over until they "catch up" to the version of them in my head, at which point the timelines will merge.
-
I am the keeper of all our old SGs toons. All are resting quietly in many different places for safety's sake. Once in a while my hard drive will make some "strange" noises and I believe there is an SG party going on in there!
Glad they were all saved in different places. A hard drive crash a few weeks ago wiped out everything. I don't even want to think how the SG would have chosen to end my presents on the planet!!!
-
I am hoping they just need to be pulled out of limbo like captain kirk out of the event horizon!
If not well Flaming Ice is just freezing ice cubes then melting them.

What have my toons been doing?
Assuming all is well in Paragon City and that they get to come back intact. . . .
Waddle the Penguin has been bouncing around the City, wondering what happened to all his friends. He is a lonely creature, puzzled and missing his Poppa, his fellow PENGUIN Project creations, and his teammates.
Manuel Pistola has likely been chilling at home, waiting for the chance to pull out his sniper rifle, orange aviator sunglasses, and bomber jacket again.
Tubbius Regalis has had to go underground, on the run from former associates in the Rogue Isles due to his "defection" to heroics. His loyal gang of thugs is with him.
Tubbius, meanwhile, has been helping folks try to rebuild lives as he can. This plant controlling empath believes he's Santa Claus, so doing the right thing in the face of confusion and loss is what he knows best.
If they don't get to return as they were. . . .
Well, being busted back down to Security Clearance Level 1 and appropriate power levels isn't the most appealing of fates, but if that's what it takes, so be it! :)

My main, Rai Aegeus, attempted to return to his small village located in a remote jungle of South America. However, after all that was seen in the city and all the cosmic battles he witnessed/participated in, he soon realized he could never return to his "simple" life ever again. :-[ Disturbed but not completely lost, he decided to spend his time in seclusion, away from everything he had ever known and the people he once loved.
Occasionally there have been stories of a small being seen wandering in the shadows of various cities around the world, helping others in their times of need, but nobody can officially confirm the validity of these claims. One fact always remains the same though: He is gone in a flash as soon as he is noticed.
Perhaps one day he will return to that strange and wonderful city that he once protected... ;)

Bob the Boulder returned to life as a handyman, but also works as a volunteer fireman (granite is handy for rescues, but he does fall through floors from time to time).
Dirk Dangler returned to the adult film industry.
Tweenage Rampage is in anger management counselling to train her out of the habit of launching a hail of bullets in all directions when annoyed.
SNAFU Manchu still plots, and still does something stupid each time, so is in and out of jail.
Debbie does Talos has got her name back now NCSoft have gone, and is back at college and still in the cheerleading squad.
Mexican Pete has hooked back up with Deadeye Dick and is now wanted across most of the southern US - lock up your daughters.
Toxic Texan has gone into politics.
Airhead Heiress now has her own reality TV show, but is regretting some of the videos she made.
-
Weeping about PvP.
[jk] Standing in atlas being lazy probably.
-
a few of my characters jumped through a portal and ended up in Millennium City for awhile, they are waiting for the portal to open back to Paragon, back home.
-
Playing Eve Online. At least of a couple of them are there.
Hopefully, they have character data saved. If I have to start fresh it would require me to see how the game will be managed for the long term.
-
Blackstar5 has been semi- retired, but if CoH comes back ( and I know we will have to re-roll) He will come out of retirement to save Paragon once again.
Pale_Ryder5 has returned to the lower planes waiting to return to the Rouge Isles so he can feast on the souls of the innocent and evil alike.
Eazy_Ryder is on his Harley just hoping to unleash some good old fashioned street justice on any evil that crosses his path.
So many toons that I want to re-make, dated as this game was, nothing has felt right to me since.
-
Trying to take over the world.
-
Most of my characters returned to their magical realm to avoid the "impending disaster" Others just went into their secret identities and are waiting to be recalled to action. (And their getting impatient) :P

What game is that?
-
Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition for PC. The Games for Windows version has quite a few mod tools and tutorials out there for texture editing, coloring, part swapping, etc. In my case, I edited the model for C Viper to use a different head/hair model and altered a few colors to match.
The game was also recently released for Steam, but the modding capabilities were severely crippled by this version thus far.

Stuck in a Temporal Stasis - a Nemesis Plot gone horribly wrong (they're stuck in it too - they thought that they had found a way to be immune before starting the Stasis). Meanwhile, those in Ouroboros are trying to figure out a way to undo this Stasis. The problem is that whenever anyone leaves Ouroboros, they're stuck in the Stasis also (so far their efforts to make someone immune to the Stasis have also failed)!

In early September 2012, Kyle Arvida developed a type of phase shift specifically engineered to keep his entire SG base from being affected by its surroundings. Prior to the darkness overtaking Paragon City (which he constantly monitors, but cannot see either form or movement from since), he and 11 of his most elite generals took refuge in the base with enough resources to last indefinitely if necessary. The majority of his time is spent sleeping, reading, working out, doing maintenance on the base, and tinkering in the SG labs to invent new and more effective armor, enhancements, and weapons tech for his eventual return to Paragon. Of course, there are the occasional wild parties that end up with beer bottles, wine glasses, broken furniture, IOs, and random salvage strewn all over the base, but it's hard for heroes to be cramped into 5,000 square feet when they're used to the world being their playground.
Every day, Kyle gets up, stretches, walks to his window, and peers into the blackness, hoping to finally see something...a building, a person, or any recognizable form. But so far, nothing. Still, he is optimistic. He has a feeling, deep down, hard to identify or explain. But he somehow senses that the terrible events that led to this involuntary confinement - this stasis - are somehow changing, even if he can't see any direct evidence of it yet. But the feeling is like knowing how to fly - when you know, you can just do it, easier than explaining it.
Kyle used to be tired. He faced conflict after conflict; battle after battle over years, and then decades. Injuries never quite healed and pain never seemed to fade. But he was happy to answer the call. There was always work to be done to protect Paragon City. But now, things are different. 19 months later, he is fully rested, stronger than he's ever been, and mentally, he's completely at peace. The brief respite that never seemed to come finally came. And now, he's ready for battle. So when Paragon finally beckons to him that she is ready, he will respond happily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNEiBl3aQcY
Get ready, Paragon City. We're coming home. The heroes are on their way home.

Dr Jonas Starks has done more work on the Excalibur Exosuit. In addition to creating a new rare metal by fusing Impervium with Rikti Alloy, he recently discovered that he can create a small energy field capable of deflecting some attacks by channeling some of the energy that powers his attacks through the armor.
Initial results have shown that the field is highly effective at reinforcing the armors defensive properties. Early Data indicates that 45% of all blunt force, slashing and piercing style attacks will not penetrate the shield and in the event that they do the Armor itself will resist upward of 88% of that damage. This combined with the nanotechnology incorporated into the armor which allows it to completely heal itself approximately every 105 seconds is why it has truly earned the name Excalibur after the unbreakable sword of legend.

Stuck in a Temporal Stasis - a Nemesis Plot gone horribly wrong (they're stuck in it too - they thought that they had found a way to be immune before starting the Stasis).
Not directly related, but this is exactly how DC comics re-introduced Captain Marvel in 1973, twenty years after Fawcett stopped publishing them - as a plot by Dr. Sivana to freeze the Marvels in a "Suspendium" sphere, but accidentally catching himself and all of the rest of the cast in the stasis as well. When they finally escaped, twenty years had passed.

I love how comics work :P

That is unclear at present. It all depends, really. On the surface, it looks like a bolt from the blue obliterated the world and everything on it - but that may be just a bad dream.
-
I think most of them made it to Pocket D and are dancing...some will be working for DJ Zero in the interim and will not want to go back. Some will, with new powers and new wisdom and a new look.
-
I like to think my neglected toons are taking advantage of a double exp weekend and making the trek to level 50 without me.
-
I think of the world of Paragon as being a "City in a Bottle." Time has stopped, Hellions are in mid-punch, Nemesis is half way through pouring himself a good German beer in his hideout... Recluse is daydreaming about Red Widow...
And all of my characters are waiting in mid-animatin for the clock to start moving forward again.
If it turns out that the game restarts and none of our characters can be brought back, then in my head at least, it'll be a fesh parallel universe that opens up, NOT an obliterated version of the old one. Old Paragon will be forever in suspended animation, call it Paragon 33 if you will, in honor of AP33 and the Marvel method of numbering realities.

Capt. Incompetent is learning his battle-cry of "I apologize!" in other languages. Unfortunately in German all he can remember is "Ich habe Gas." (I have gas.) Fortunately this does send people fleeing. :o
That poor Kheldian, haha...hopefully he has a sense of humor :-)
Sofa Kingdom (Inv/SS tank) just don't care. If he can get back to smashing bad guys he'd maybe smile more, but collecting garbage around suburban Phoenix ain't too bad a gig. At $17/hr he can do double shifts and not even break a sweat, then spend all night hanging out with the grannies, swigging cheap beer, smiling and nodding every so often (so they don't get pissed off at him). He still chants his moniker, under his breath, in fond remembrance of the adoring townsfolk who gazed at their watches, jogged by and waved, scratched their temples and shook their heads into their newspaper headlines as they strode past him in the streets chanting his name "so fuh king dum, so fuh king dum..."
Laughing so hard I'm crying...thanks, I needed that.
Oh, the adventures my old and dear friends have had!
Void Spyke, clever villain that she is, fell in with a street gang after she escaped and somehow managed to ascend to the Presidency! A distinctly super powered Presidency, at that...last I saw she was having a bit of a dust up with some aliens. Wasn't looking too great for the aliens, either....
Natirri, being an Aspect of War, exists in many times and places at once. In the timelines of Norrath, she's a fierce berserker from the snows of Everfrost. In her sojourns in Azeroth, she lived among the proud warriors of the Horde, and in death rose stronger, a master of blood and frost. More than one city has also seen her visit to come help chop crime rates...literally.
Undying Light and Prismshade stayed til the last working to get as many supers and civs evacuated as possible. As the last seconds passed, Undying Light shoved Prismshade through the same portal that they'd been using to evacuate everyone else and then closed it, so nothing would reach the other side. She'd heard legends that by rapidly shifting forms to manipulate mass and momentum, a Kheldian could launch themselves into space. She took a deep breath and shifted, feeling the pull of gravity fall away...

Oh, Aegis Rose has been making a few rounds. The fun thing about alternate dimensions being a thing is that she can go anywhere she wants as long as she has the area code.
She moved to Riverview in The Sims 3 for a while, raised a family, which gave me a few ideas for if she's to have a legacy in a new game, and I finally figured out what her civilian name was. She woke up on a field in Ylisse where she fought alongside Prince Chrom to save that world from a Fell Dragon in Fire Emblem Awakening. She moved to Everfree Island as a Mii and... well... I don't get Tomodachi Life. At all.
In short, while City of Heroes died, Rose got set free, really. She's become my go-to character for a lot of different games when I need an idea for a female main character. And if City of heroes actually does return, she'll move back into Paragon City, but changed from her experiences in all the different parallel worlds.
Never got around to making a Rose Shepherd for Mass Effect, though. Would probably be a Sentinel. And a full Paragon, of course. I mean... it's called "Paragon". She kind of has to.
-
Specta Phantom (ill/emp troller) has gone to the spectral plane to fight the darkness head on. His nemesis Lord Specto (Dark/dark dom) the dark spectral champion, followed him. They await to be reborn in new body's.
Rocky Crumble (stone/ss tanker) is currently training to beat back the next Assault of Devouring Earth.
Spectral champions have showed up in other worlds though since the city disappeared. Seems like the Spectas need a new physical champion. Though the latest has disappeared again. Saying something like "The Grand Champions are returning, I must prepare".
-
I'm starting to lean toward leaving all my old characters on "Earth NCSoft". I kind of mentally wound down their stories anyway.
Then I'd start fresh with all-new characters in "NuCoH". Hopefully we get I24, because I really want to make a Bio/Street tank and a DP/Martial blaster.
-
My very first Villain, Achimrst, is probably crushing peoples bodies and mentally turning people into vegetables and eating them as one. That evil bastid!
Hopefully Cyborg Chris, my blaster hero, is using his electricity powers to stop him from his murderous rampage throughout the world.
-
The obvious answer is zoning. Another good reply is trying to get to the mission door but having to fight this stupid rubber-band. But really what my toons have been doing is waiting in the queue to login on Freedom. I'm number 302 in the queue so it won't be too much longer now. ;)

Many of my favorites are running around CO. Most of them are already level 40 thanks to Alert missions. Though I just can't stomach running through any of those same leveling arcs yet again.

Some of mine were moved to CO, too. And, so that they don't miss Paragon City TOO much, they brought with them Fusionette, Sister Psyche, Mynx, Faultline, a Supa Troll, a Void Hunter and a Cimeroran soldier. :) If I knew how to edit screencaps together (like B-Movie Director does for his "movie" posters after his CCs), I could maybe post a group shot of those efforts to re-create CoH NPCs.

At the moment, Acanous is going from dimension to dimension spreading the news that the Primal Paragon Shard is being restored. It could even support life as soon as September. If things go well.
-
I like to think that most of my crew have just been in Paragon City, or Praetoria or the Shard going about their usual business, doing what they do.
Except for Kestrel and Cardinal...
See, against my expectations (given the ending of every other 'grand plan' villain arc up to that time-), they actually got to keep the Mitscher. At the end of the sig arc, Kes *still had her boat*. I can't imagine them not taking full advantage of that, and heading off for a couple of years to "see the world"... cruising around... alternately playing the roles of heroes or rogues as the situation dictated... occasionally putting in back on the Isles just to check up on Scir and their friends, but essentially, having a heck of a lot of fun with their favorite new toy. You don't just leave something like that anchored in Saint Martial. ;D

If she was standing near Defender, that very likely was mine. I've gotten compliments on them, especially her and Void Hunter.
-
some of my characters have retired, some are waiting for the portal corp to reopen the portal to the champions universe.
-
Mine are in training, honing their skills in preparation for the events in Angelus Animi's precognitive "Unity" video.
In that video, when the additional portals start opening up, after the first one, I keep imagining some shadow-creature scope-watcher calling out, "Multiple incursions! We have multiple incursions! Scramble all units!"
(edited to replace non-word "precognizant" with real word "precognitive")

Right now...my two 50s are blasting around in Dark Astoria, hoping support gets back before they run out of ammo. :D
-
My characters are probably just going about their usual business, beating the crap outta villains and saving the day and such. If we have start from scratch when/if the game re-opens, I think I'll just say that their base has to be rebuilt because it had been destroyed because Madhouse, my controller, may have accidentally blew up the whole place when one of his magical experiments went wrong. :P
-
As far as I'm concerned, time in Paragon/Rogue Islands hasn't progressed since the shutdown of CoH so my dudes are where they were doing what they were doing when the shutdown occurred.

If you go to your profile, then Modify Profile, then the Account Info page, you can change your display name on the forums under Name.
How? I went to Profile / Modify Profile / Account Settings (couldn't find Account Info) on mine. It has my display name beside "Name", but it isn't in a text-entry box, like my email address is. How would the user change it?

I also teamed with a Paragon Protector for a bit with my Archery toon who had acquired his gear from Crey. ;D

Put the car down
OK, you're ugly and I hate you.
Actually, I believe Lobo said, "I was gonna." As he tossed the car over his shoulder into a nearby building. And it exploded, of course.
This made me laugh ;D

Some of mine were moved to CO, too.
You can see how a lot of my CoX->CO conversions came out in the thread ( http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=232981 ): Mostly the ones that originated in CoX have an image from CoX, on the left, the ones that didn't... don't. Likely when CoX is reborn I'll end up with a thread on wherever its official forums are where I'm converting characters I really like that originated in CO into funky new CoH versions.
Bottom line is I just can't walk away from playing a character I like so if they had to relocate to rebuilt Detroit for the time being, that's just what had to happen.
-
I treated the shutdown like the total annihilation of the city, the helpless, weak, and defeated all evacuated out of the city limits and the War Walls around the entire place closed forever.
Luna was beaten about half-way into the insurgency and left to recover from grave wounds as she was evacuated with the normal citizenry. She never fought crime again, resigning to a normal un-super life.
So she found solace in her other career as a small-time Heavy Metal guitarist & vocalist with her band, "Apparition," and took to the road playing small to medium-sized venues around the Northeastern US.
Her drummer managed to smuggle out the master tapes of their unfinished album, that they had begun back in Paragon a few years earlier and had it picked up by a niche record label for limited release.
(And, for my own amusement, I threw together the front and back of the album covers that include shots of the band made with CoH and enhanced in Photoshop and all the usual minuscule details you'd see on the back of a CD case.)

As the surrounding zones fell, Atlas Park was placed in a state of suspended animation by the Kheldians. The heroes and villains of Atlas Park 33, frozen in time awaiting new heroes to aid in the fight......all we need now is a mad man in a blue box to save us all.
-
I treated the shutdown as an abandoning of the city by everything that populated it. Most of my characters have moved on; Some tried to find other places to be and failed pretty bad, others have simply returned home, others simply find they can't leave.
Yimira still lives in her home near the top of the Eden spire, training down below alone, Darkstar Kaaduu and Jane Takina both are making sure that Pocket D remains intact, and Jason Takina, her brother, continues to learn more about magic and train, making sure he doesn't slip back to laziness, each one of them waiting for the word that the cities are up and running again.

The way I treat it, is the dimention is in a time freeze, everything is frozen while the servers are shut down and no one is running it in universe, so my characters are elsewhere. Some get ticked off at me for that(as some nay-saying buttheads that generally seem to be HAPPY the game shut down try to roleplay it as being destroyed, and I end up reading it as they are talking as if it's a GOOD thing as they act completely heartless, at least, thats how I get it from one CO player that left a sour taste to me), others understand me. Thing is I feel the game couldn't remain shut down forever, in fact I know it couldn't as it was to popular to really be shut down.
So my characters, when I'm roleplaying them, they just say the dimention is time frozen, wherever they are. My toons currently fly the cities of metropolis and Gotham city(I don't roleplay there though), as I was left very bored of CO and CO's numerous problems and signs of decay repeatedly burn me(even more since I used to really like that game).

Aww, don't be down on everyone that considered the city destroyed. My idea of it's annihilation wasn't complete destruction, just total evacuation with lots of property damage. If we get the game back, The Menders of Ouroboros fixed everything. ;)
And if I apply a bit of your outlook to it, it could be like the total span of land that makes up Paragon is inside of it's own time-space where, inside of it, time is moving forward normally for those left behind but, from the outside looking in, it appears frozen.

First post 8) on this site
I know this sounds a bit grim, but my character (name was Raider with a random ' somewhere) died.
Drop dead. Even I don't know how he died :'(
He was Dual Pistol/Thermal because I loved playing healer and when DP came out, it looked smooth and was a great experience compared to my REALLY old mental dominator. (who is also dead)
I can start fresh (if CoX comes back). I finally have a way to name my characters without sounding ridiculously idiotic. It's my first name + random common name. Or one of my real life friend's name. I used to play the original (and still do!) Guild Wars and used the same naming convention but thought it was really lame since I was young so I made up "cooler" names (which I think are lame now that I'm older).
-
Rachel Goldstein graduated from Nukem High and went to Harvard, where she obtained a degree in Corporate Law, which she uses to file cease and desist orders against Crey Industries. She also uses her Plant Controller abilities to grow organic vegetables.
-
I'd be thrilled to just start fresh with all of my characters. If I do happen to get them all back then I guess I'll figure out things then.
-
My toons are as they were b4 shutdown.
On the top of Atlas, facing the sunrise. Looking for injustice where ever it may be found, in all corners of Paragon.
In the halls of the hospitals, healing and treating the sick, maimed and broken-hearted.
Skulking around the sewers, cleaning out the denizens of evil.
Wherever faith must be restored, that is where they are. *salutes*
-
My main leapt into a portal, only to find herself in the Champions Universe. Only to find herself surrounded by other Paragon heroes and villains waiting for the Portal to go back home to open. She found new Champions Universe willing to leap through to go to Paragon. Most of my character jumped through as well by was caught by the keeper of time and are frozen. Four of my character are holding the line against the Rikti, and a few have been working with Portal Corp and Tina McIntire to fix the portals.
In the aftermath of Doomsday the Portal Corp, is in ruins as is the rest of the world. The Hamidon has gone dormant, the forces for Praetoria has been decimated with most of the old guard leaders dead or missing, and its Hamidon is rampaging across the planet.

Meryl is sitting on the the porch back home in Louisiana eating collard greens and polk salad seasoned with just the right amount of bacon and pepper sauce. Of course cornbread and buttermilk are given with such a feast for a main course. He is relaxing, waiting and reminiscing. Oh, he knows the day will come when it is time to use his claws again on some misguided, against all odds battle of the ages for the hope of all mankind. But until then mama's sweet potato pie and the sweet sound of the wind chimes will give him all the rest he needs to meet tomorrow's opportunity to be the hero again.
-
Non-evil alternate dimensional counterparts of a couple of my villains showed up in CO, but they were explicitly different characters (who just happened to have the same names, similar appearances, similar backgrounds, and weirdly reversed backstories).
In my mind, my CoH heroes and villains were right where they always were, doing what they were doing. I'm just not able to log in and experience it with them.
-
In my mind, my characters have been busy volunteering their services rebuilding ravaged areas while protecting the citizens.
the beaches of cozumel needed to be protected.....really...
-
Realistically? Living quiet lives in the XML files that SentinalPlus deposited onto my hard drive. Copies of them are leading an equally peaceful existence backed up on my second drive and on a couple of flash drives. Of course, those versions of them may never live again. Their costumes are still lovingly saved in my never-deleted CoH folder, so if they must be reborn at level 1 their appearances will not change.
Most of my initial toons were takes on various Champions tabletop characters of mine, all of whom still exist whenever somebody busts out the six siders and the mapboard, so if CoH never returns they will live on.

Simika (aka Tek) (various toons covering a wide spectrum of ATs) has been deactivated due to some zone wide calaterial damage while taking out AI based threats. Her mentor died in one such incident. (Never got to make him, but he would have been a DP/MM blaster)

SWORD-WRAITH is making appearances in various cities around the country..once again make Evil know fear...mainly in the Pacific Northwest...dealing with some of the worst that the alternate earth he is on has to offer. His continued thwarting of the group calling itself VIPER has drew the attention of several high powered individuals of both good and evil nature. His most spectacular battle was with a villain known as HELL RIDER and his pack of Malcontents. The Rider discovered that though his power to summon a weapon at will..it did not prevent it from being broken by Swords masterful sword fighting skills.
NYGHTMARE has gone into seclusion with his latest Grimoire..aspiring to take his new world by force of magic. It is also rumored that GHOST WIDOW has somehow pierced the veil between his world and Paragon in an attempt to steal said Grimoire for her own needs.
The rest....give me some time :)
-
The Kinsaru family is hiding out in Cap and not-so-randomly venturing out to pillage the weakened city at their leisure. Their horde of looted goods can only be described as monumental, and their absolute control over what remains is very satisfying but somehow hollow. Ryo patrols at night, doing things to the remaining Rikti that would make a surgeon vomit into their little white mask. Their screams, sounds of tearing and thrashing, and his throaty laughter fill the night sky of the Rogue Isles. He resents their arrogance, as he resents anyone arrogant enough to think they have the right to be more arrogant than him.
Shinji spends the daylight hours stealthing around the city at hyper-velocity looking for those few invaders that remain and making things go quickly and silently black for them. Being the quiet introvert that he is, he is more at peace with himself and what has happened than the others. He understands that the universe is not random, and that the reason for everything that happens will reveal itself if you stop talking long enough to listen.
Akira stays in the hideout most of the time, her crossed swords never out of reach. She waits for a call from one of the family that there is a worthwhile reason to venture out. She is above her brothers' vengeful anger and simply awaits her inevitable return to action. With their grandfather gone she seems to have lost focus but her skills are intact and somehow as sharp and deadly as ever. She's waiting for something, and waiting to find out what it is.
-
Shifter gained great powers in a freak accident and immediately started utilizing them. He has been stumbling on new abilities over time, but never once did he actually stop to focus on learning the extent of these powers. "Am I at my full potential, or am I simply running on instinct?" This has been really bothering him, so much so, that he has decided to leave everything behind in order to focus on finding the true extent of his powers. He packed his bags, and left for an unknown location/time.
-
I'm not exactly sure what the characters have been doing but I've been feverishly trying to come up with a back story for a Nature Affinity/Dual Pistols char that I will create on day 1.
More importantly, a back story and look for ultra bloomy Nature Affinity and "you make me feel like dancing" Dual Pistols that is not depressingly Disney in origin. :)

Techno Destructo left the planet and found his way to New Eden and has been battling in space ships ever since. Once his probes send word of paragon location he'll clone jump immediately to Atlas Park.

Most of my characters led groups of refugees through a portal to an alternate future that leads to Titan City. A few are still living in the remnants of Paragon City (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Titan_Icon), but due to the odd effects that eliminate nearly all powers (except Flight, for some reason), there isn't much for them to do. There isn't any crime to speak of, of course, since the city is entirely evacuated, save for the handful of stubborn heroes and villains who refuse to leave their posts.
My main spends most of his time in Ouroboros, assisting the effort to find a way to save the city. From recent rumblings, it appears the effort may have been at least partly successful. Time will tell.
-
Hellgeist fled the destruction of Paragon City, and traveled through the Oranbegan gateways to a suitable parallel world. He found Millennium City, and fought for its people for a time, until encountering the Kings of Edom.
He remains in this dark dimension, loathe to return to the physical plane. He tells himself that the Edomites need to be held in check, but the real reason he stays is an undeniable, deep longing for his real home; Paragon.
It is better to live in darkness and hold onto his true past, than risk losing himself in another world, that belongs to its own heroes..

I fled back to some remote arctic coast and continue feasting on seals and polar bears, remembering the glory days of Paragon City.

Well, current drama for my characters.
With regards to valiance online, the cascavica there is in the head of her local dimentional self, sort of. It's more of a machine programmed to assimilate the woman;
Part 1 and 2(look for Cascavicka Ravicka): http://valiance.shogn.net/forum?func=view&catid=18&id=1329&limit=12&start=12
Part 3: http://valiance.shogn.net/forum?func=view&catid=18&id=1329&limit=12&start=36
Note I change perspectives. I may switch to another character in an entirely different region of space. I'm phasing all characters out of CO.
As for other characters of mine, I've yet to write on them. I do wish to sometime though.
I've yet to quite get an idea where to go after part 4.
-
My main Peacebringer and Warshade went into space knowing that despite the shutdown that extraterrestrial problems could still affect Earth. They have been based in a secret spacestation thwarting attacks from space be they alien or meteoric in nature, and they also attempt to recruit other Khelds.
Another character of mine that claimed to be empowered by the Ghost of Statesman has been based in Ouroborus looking for a way to turn back the clock and avert the shutdown.
My two main badge hunters work in the guise of researchers an archeologists in the hope of seeking a way to restore things and find the ever elusive Passport and Bughunter badges

Location: A street corner in Atlas Park.
Time: undefined
Cassadega stands in her favorite spot, waiting for the afternoon lunch crowds. They've been thin lately, but they'll come back around sooner or later.
She knows something isn't right with the world, but it's not something she can pin down. Everything seems to have... stopped, and she's not sure what she can do about that. It'll all work itself out, it always does.

Oskmey has been dealing with the sudden fame after what is now being called the Dark Horizon event. For some reason scientists have been able to pinpoint a recent part of time where it appears that time just "stopped" or the world "stopped". No one is really sure what happened but they are heaping praises on the heroes of the world for restoring order once again.
Now if she could only get those otherworldly nightmares out of her head. Plus a bit of nagging doubt about what is going on around her in the universe...

Speaking of which, the Tower of Animus has been conquered, wrongs set right. So now ... hopefully Little David can return to the City.
On the other hand, the villainous Corrupted Haruspex may get recruited by a multiversal corporation dedicated to destroying planets ...

Darlene Potterson, a vampire character from the Rogue Isles, has been travelling across space and dimensions with Malachia. She has gotten extremely good at dual wielding bladed weapons and casting spells of destruction on beings deemed the enemy of the realm which she explores. All the while secretly feasting on the blood of those enemies and maintaining a reserve supply which is kept fresh with magic. Though she misses her home.
(( Games she can be found on : GW2, Neverwinter (Perfect World/Cryptic), SWtOR, Tera, and ESO.))
Cynthia Troy, a vampire character from Paragon City has not been doing very well. Her attempts at trying to be "human" and not feeding well has caused her to go into torpor (sp). Her slumbering body is checked up on regularly by Darlene and Shade of the Soul/Adira. While she was awake, she was very homesick.
(( Game re-created on: GW2.))
Shade of the Soul/Adira is happily going to various realms/dimension and through space with Malachia. She loves learning new things about the mortals she sees and cooking the tasty dishes original to their location. Being a succubus, she has also gotten very good with empowering stones/gems to absorb the excess lust energies from that the mortals generate while copulating. She also enjoys sharing those reaped energies with her mate, Malachia, when they copulate and he feeds from her demon blood to sate his ancient vampire hunger.
(( Games re-created on: GW2, Neverwinter, SWtOR, Dragon's Prophet, Tera, and ESO.))
Dark Thorn Oppessor/Brigid Blaze, woke up in a medieval type environment. Oddly, her form seems to changed and she blends in with the resident tieflings. Her memories of CoH locked away in her mind with magic cast by her dragon family members to ensure she stays hidden from her abyssal demon father.
(( She can be found in Neverwinter.))
Demon Angel of Chaos/Tabitha Relikane, adopted daughter to Yaphet of Tarquin Trading Company has been learning some magic on the same world that Dark Thorn is on. Being a Hybrid being of Succubus and Archon, she has the innate ability to Rift Walk at will, so her adventures normally occur after she has her chores and school work done, and she isn't grounded as happens with a teenager who go beyond their societal role. She does go off to visit with her love/crush Varel, an Archon who is also part of House Relikane.
(( She can be found in Neverwinter.))
All other are shelved right now, but I am thankful to have saved their info with Sentinel before CoH was turned off.

Pseudocool.. having the ability to work with energy, electricity, and gravity.. opened up an energy sustained gravity well in the middle of Atlas's globe in the final moments.. sucking the entire league of Section 8's into a transportational rift. That rift was unsustainable however.. as his batteries died out with the strain.. and many of the guild members where shot far and wide.. of them only Pseudocool and Sterrane remained.. finding themselves dropped onto a wet an muddy world controlled by some giant slug looking things named "Hutts"...
Thankfully.. during said rifting.. PC and Sterrane developed an affinity for something referred to as "The Force".. and have now, amazingly enough.. over the last year, mastered the ability to warp and twist said force into lightning storms, choke holds, stealth movement, and various other techniques, all supplemented with the newfound ability to wield these awesome things called "light sabers".. that can cut through just about anything.. their really cool...
Somewhere along the way however.. Max Radmore showed up.. coated in some sort of wierd radioactive stuff (he won't say where it came from or why it won't come off).. and started slapping them around.. "Your Hero's Dagnabbit!" you could hear him yell all the way in Dagobah... Now he's taken over a lab on the planet of Makeb, where he's secretly working on a new device to teleport the whole team back to Atlas Park, which will hopefully force them to leave those silly lightsabers behind.. hopefully...

Here are my four most memorable characters and their current statuses:
- Khaliana (scrapper and main): Last seen in Praetoria; presumed killed by the Hamidon
- The Mistress (corruptor): Killed by Khaliana
- Aeraneia (stalker): Last seen in Peregrine Island; current location unknown
- Drider Girl (crab spider): Died of an apparent heart attack
Out of the four, only Aeraneia is still completely alive. The Mistress is not completely dead, however; her soul is fighting Aeraneia's for control of Aeraneia's body.
This does mean that I'll have to reroll when CoH comes back or when a CoH2 is created.

The first four of the five Feigns have each done their various permanent travels back in time by now, and Fifth is pretty much just chillin' with the Menders by now being immortal and occasionally hopping back to kill historical tyrants to relieve his boredom.
Shekinah Oldsoul is establishing a very large refugee community in the Willworld with the aid of DJ Zero and Faathim the Kind. She pretty much keeps herself busy maintaining the area the same way that Zero maintains the Pocket D, by patient and vigilant force of will.
Praetorian Grey is in London at the behest of Mender Silos, infiltrating the Sacred Order of the Knights Templar and generally wrecking things that make Mot look pleasant. (Though I haven't played TSW in a while, Chaos/Blood Affliction DPS build, IIRC)
Ecstasy of Gold stands atop the burning ruins of Grandville in yet another future as King of the Willworld and Slayer of the Tyrant Incarnate.
Walk This Way is back in Khazakstan, fighting Russians, drinking Vodka, stripping to pay for the vodka. Same old, same old.
Bullet the Blue Sky was probably a robot all along, I don't even know, man.

my character has locked his armor and study his career to do something like, day job in the lab of paragon i think, trying his best to do for freedom and try to cure criminals about the troll formula and taking research to cure also the ebola. Like heroes, trying to do their best to help and fight for justice, he returns when the game returns ;)

My main, Windows 3000 Sux Man, always said he wanted to complete a man-rated time machine and return to his home. He finally built one, in a flying sports car of course, because that's just how he rolls. His time machine can also hop dimensions.
Most of the other characters I was playing toward the end were accidental time and dimension travelers. Windows 3000 Sux Man gave them all rides home, with the exception of one or two like heroine of vengeance Erinys Peristera. She decided she'd rather ditch the whole vengeance thing and just be a heroine in Paragon than return to the post-apocalyptic world that drove her to vengeance in the first place.

Most of my characters died with CoH. In the event they ever get recreated, they will likely be "alternate universe" versions, completely separate from the originals.
Capt. Stormrider, my space pirate from the far-flung future, originally couldn't believe that he had landed on Earth because in his time Earth is a myth. Well, now we know why. Stormrider made a heroic turn and fulfilled his destiny by assisting as many civilians as possible off the planet in his ship before the cataclysmic end. Over the next 2000 years his iconic storm-infused mask will be passed down in a long line of Stormriders until the same Capt. Stormrider takes the mantle once again, only to repeat the whole thing over again. The Stormrider legacy knows no beginning or end.
Max Violence, my Praetorian berserker, returned to her home dimension during the chaos. There she wanders the desolated remains of the abandoned world, only her and the Hamidon able to survive. The Last Woman on Praetorian Earth battles the Hamidon day and night, neither able to kill the other. In a way, this endless battle is the closest thing Max has found to true happiness.
Of all my characters, the only one to truely "survive" the end was Galaxy Mage. Master of the Cosmic Arts and shaper of time and space, Galaxy Mage is connected to each of his multiverse incarnations as a single collective consciousness. So even though this version of him is dead, recreating him in an "alternate universe" CoH would still be the same mind with the same memories, even if his physical form is different.
-
Getting poned by rl >.<
-
My main is sitting on the unpopulated island near the Storm Palace staring into space. Such a peaceful place...
-
My personal "storyline" for the end of CoH is thus:
An interstellar mega-corporation's greed and hubris caused a cosmic-level machine to run out of control, setting off a wave of destruction that swept across part of the galaxy. The cosmic wave annihilated star system after star system, literally erasing them from existence. Countless trillions of lives were lost.
The nature of the energy wave disrupted faster-than-light drive systems well in advance of the wave itself, preventing any kind of coordinated interstellar evacuation. Fortunately, there was enough advanced warning for much of Earth's population to escape through inter-dimensional Portals. It was a massive undertaking, but the Heroes and Villains put aside their differences and worked together tirelessly to increase the Portals' capacity, coordinate the evacuation, and speed the process along.
By the time the wave reached Earth, pretty much only the capes were left, many gathering in a solemn vigil to honor the world they were about to lose, others choosing instead to celebrate the success of their efforts with a massive party. In either case, they only entered the Portals at the last possible moment.
(Most of) my characters emigrated to Millennium City and its environs. Believing Primal Earth to be destroyed, they attempt to go on with their lives, mostly succeeding in spite of the differences between Primal Earth and Millennium Earth.
Little do they know, forces are at work in their home dimension that may yet undo the destruction of the Cosmic Wave altogether... [Hey, it could still happen.]

Diz is being the best damn inquisitor she can, and to that end is shooting demons in the face... somewhere.
Natalia AKA Projekt Яedstorm is alternating from being an Engineer and a professional superhero, since nobody else will defend the soviet ideal.

All 24 of my Incarnate level heroes, and villains were captured, and put into a state of suspended animation by the Rikti as one of their final acts before being defeated and leaving the planet. Their intention was to experiment on them, in an attempt to re-create the genes responsible for their incredible powers, and use them to augment their own forces. Before they could complete their plans, the lab was captured, and placed under government control.
With a hard fought peace now in place, it was decided to keep them in their cryogenic state while the earth healed itself from the ravages of a devastating war. So, they were relegated to the status of "break glass only in case of planetary emergency". Living weapons to be used against future enemies...or the return of old ones.
So, they sleep....waiting for that inevitable day to arrive, when their awesome powers are seen as a saving grace from our annihilation, instead of a threat to our very existence.

Grieving Inferno was a sidekick/ kid blaster known as Ice Princess who was abandoned by the rest of the "heroes" during a failed Cavern of Transcendence Trial. She fought in the tunnels as the demons eventually overpowered her. The Circle of Thorns used her betrayal to transform her into the perfect fire brute, but little crafting was needed with all the rage. Her ice powers melted away to fire and she willed a fire sword that stayed in her hand forever. Eventually she became to fiery to control and they unleashed her to the world. As she left the tunnels Karsis told her she would one day come back. She spit fire on him and said not until she accomplished what she wanted most -- revenge. Karsis laughed and said by her nature she will always be denied what she wants most. This only fueled her rage and hate and he waved her along telling her he would be waiting. She vowed never to return to the awful place.
She eventually had a lengthy criminal career burning down parts of the Rogue Isles and Paragon City while hunting down the seven heroes that left her in that cavern years ago. There were a few misadventures with other villain groups, but no one ever accepted her and she tended to be blind to anything other then hunting the heroes she sought for so long. When she discovered her former mentor was already dead her rage did not subside. She sought more powers from the Well hoping to find a means to the Afterlife to punish her final target. The Wells denied her -- she progressed as an Incarnate anyways, but the power did not satisfy her. Nothing satisfied her.
In Praetoria she watched Marcus fall, but inside she felt little for that victory too. The devastation of Pretoria was beautiful to her, but her revenge denied she realized her anger was subsiding and with that her powers burning out. Grieving Inferno hatched one last plot to destroy the Rogue Isles but when she returned home she found the meteors falling and with them the Earth. She was going to be denied what she wanted one more time.
The cities fell and eventually Grieving Inferno had no where to go. Her flames flickering out to ash she returned to the Hallows. Karsis waited for her saying that all these years they would go underground and rest and she agreed. Oddly, satisfied to see one thing through while all other denied. Sealing the door to the Cavern Transcendence behind them with the last of that fire sword they descended into the dark below.

Stone/Fire brute Unfinished Business is leaning over the pause button on her trusty boombox, waiting to get back to her...unfinished business! Little did I know when I named her that (back at CoV's launch) how uncanny a name it might turn out to be in the future.... ;D

I still had a guy in the original villain tutorial. I always intended to play him, but never did. After a few years they did the new tutorial and I was curious what would happen to him, so I kept him there. After they went live he was still there, so I just left him there waiting to see what would happen to him sometime in the distant future.
He probably still can't figure out how to get on the Arachnos Flyer. ;D
I always wondered where it would take him since they revamped Mercy.

Imagining that their someplace in another reality where City of Heroes never shut down. Mourning the fact that they could not save their duplicates in COH PRIME

Same thing they do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world!

Being retconned into new and more advanced versions of them selves....my moronic brute has become a Fire/Fire Blaster or Brute (i may make two of them) thrill seeking pyromaniac Corporate hero.

By now, the power is starting to fail on their cryogenic tubes. Hopefully, they will still be functioning when Paragon City needs them again.

Wait. So you're saying their stasis chambers are degrading... that they're starting to fail? You didn't perchance have 85 characters in these tubes, did you?....
KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!

Why did I want to read and re-read that as Rooster? ;D

It would explain why the term "supermen" was used to describe them when they were awakened 200 years later.

Because the roaster is an anthropomorphic male chicken that is a fire/fire brute

i'm sure my villains will be harrassing people in the streets or, in Hells Wing's case, he'll be assisting heroes as he is now back with his love in the hero world after regaining his memory.
Ms Independent has been sucked through a portal and landed in Millenium City where she's currently smacking thugs around like she used to.
Jeriko is waiting for me to finish my story about her and potentially find a publication for her in somekind of form or other.

They all can be found on Paragon Chat, if you know where to look.
