Many of you on the titan boards know me at this point, the rest of you may or may not.
My original beta toon was a illusion/storm named Phase Light...when we went live I was a subscriber and Phase Light became an Illusion/empath who revelled in the pre purple-patch days. Although I just didn't have the dedicated leveling time as some players, wow did my little scout/healer have adventures. I choose hover-tp for her travel...and in the days before stalkers she was one of the few completely invisible toons. She was retired and reactivated many times as the game changed...she came out of moth balls for the end because she was my first and I wanted to have some kinda of end to her story. She ended her time 1 bar shy of level 40, having just participated in the battle inside sister psyche's mind and ensured the destruction of malaise. Her home was Pinnacle and all her original friends were pre global names and are lost to the mists of time.
Psionic Avenger found her home on the Liberty server. A member of the middle elves supergroup, along with several of my other Liberty server heroes. Although originally human, the elven persona she took on in order to join her account sister in this wonderful SG became a near permenant look. A kinetic/psi blast balenced build with jump kick, hover, fly made a synergistic, effective, and wildly fun toon to play. She could send foes flying, put they to sleep, or weaken them merciliously, heal and boost friends, or destroy foes. She was versatile and able to take on multiple roles, a true hero. She was the hero to complete who will die 3. It was an epic battle and she prevailed before the cruel destruction of her world.
Bloodstryke, also of Liberty, was a member of the Middle Elves and their base designer. The very first toon I ever got to fifty, was created for that exact purpose. An Elven Warrior Lass wth bloodsplattered golden armor and a broadsword she was originally shared by my husband and I until he got his own account. She still misses her long lost friend Boognish and wishes he had appeared before COH vanished. She became an incarnate, got several new suits of armor, but she remained an elf of action, without a real story. She did not log on november 30th as an incarnate and having finished who will die 5-7 with her (without getting the chance to play the earier ones) I felt her story was complete. She saved the world that day and could not avert the fcomming storm.
Siphoning Spark, Theta Light, and Paragon Thorn lived on virtue along with less important sisters. Theta spent a little time adventuring in Kings Row a few weeks prior to Nov 30th, she chose to protect a bank and then camped out on a truck to wait for a miracle...she wanted a future but there was no time to give her one, only a few hours for a final memory. She specialized in radiation.
Paragon Thorn did not have a particularly amazing story but she stood far more hours on the steps of Virtue's AP33 then was really wise considering I was using a laptop...on nov 30th she stood the entire time I was at work. She was spines/sr and destroyed at the tender level of 12
Siphoning Spark, one of two kin/elec defenders my husband and I called "the twins". She never got a final mission with her partner but she did get a gorgous flight over IP a resting spot on the bridge and was there in the channel talking to various devs when virtue crashed.
More to come, so many more...including my namesake and the very special story of the toon for whom I raced time itself to place on the Atlas Globe of Guardian with only moments to spare.

We shall rise from the ashes, it is just a question of how.
