So where are your characters now?

[Brightfires]

ZOMGOSH! You're an BJD fan! I have dolls of my characters too! *happy spaz* :D Are you on any doll forums? (I need to dig out pics of my dolls that are my characters now....) *squees* You have no idea how happy this post made me! :D

I'm Brightfires on DoA and DoD.  8)

[Brightfires]

Thanks for sharing those pix Bright, they really are cool. I knew you had dolls of your toons, but all this time I just thought you were a lone weirdo! ;D
I guess it's true....
"Birds of a feather don't fall far from the tree" - Archie Bunker.

As for my toons - I've always known they weren't mine. It said so in the EULA. I always knew they could be taken away, I just figured if they ever were I'd have to have done something to deserve such a punishment.
The only reason I'd make a "Floride" elsewhere is name recognition, to hook up with other ex-CoHers.

I'm one of at least four, it seems... including one member of the former Paragon art crew. (Dink has a really nice collection of larger-scale dolls, like the grown-up versions of Pally, Kes and Cardinal. She's been doing commission work on them for years.)

Cool beans. :) I've yet to get onto DoA, but hear a lot of good things about it. I'm part of Dairyland. It's smaller but a pretty sweet community.

These are some of my girls:

Syrinia [Troller: Bubbles/Mind control] is in the floral dress while Miss Coincidence [Scrapper: Shield/Street justice] is in the pink. The fox is Chula [Troller: Illusions/Rad, my native American Fox spirit girl. (I know Fennecs are only really found in the desert regions of Africa but I couldn't resist.

I recently purchased one of my other trollers (Leeke Gray), and have a Soom fairy and Dollfie Dream for two... blasters? Drat. I need to look up the extractor files. I also have an Iple K.I.D. for a character who had a teenage/adult look. Cuddling them makes me miss my characters a little less. 

[Brightfires]

That little fox is entirely too cute. XD

I'm not sure what's up with DoA and their registration process these days... If they're still set to "invitation only", PM me your email address and I'll send one your way. Be aware, though, that the board is very heavily moderated (Many would say out-right over-moderated on some issues-)  and "The Crazy", while way less overwhelming than it was once-upon-a-time, is still very much in evidence.

The "kittens and rainbows ONLY" posting tone that the mods demand everyone stick to makes it more or less impossible for the sane collectors to call the nutty ones on their silliness in more than the very mildest terms, so expect for your dolls to be referred to as your "kids" or your "babies" or whatever, and don't be surprised when someone expresses the firm belief that their dolls have souls.

I wish I was kidding.  :o
DoA has some strange, strange people...

My namesake toon stands on the stairs of City Hall, torch held high, fighting against the darkness, until he's needed again.

I parked a lot of my toons, though, giving thought to each placement.

My Kin Fender, who's origin involved his life being destroyed by the Rikti crash, stands vigil in the RWZ, watching the mothership, wanting to take the fight to them, but standing vigilant against them.

My Elec/SS tank, a robot that gained sentience, is in the Matrix room, as it seemed fitting for him to go out with a stream of what appears to be electronic communication.

My NRG/NRG blaster had a costume revision to make him a mender.  He stands watch over eternity, on the lower ring of Ouro, ready to help at any time, any place when needed.

Man, this really makes me miss COH.

[Triplash]

Man, this really makes me miss COH.

Hang in there, friend. We won't be fighting that darkness forever. There are too many talented people hard at work trying to get us all playing again. There are not one, not two, but three new cities under construction as we speak.

And to be honest, I for one haven't given up on seeing Paragon City itself again one day. Sure it may be a longshot, but in all honesty, what are the chances that so many different people could unite so strongly over a computer game in the first place? Especially one that, compared to its competition, was relatively unknown. We've always been the underdog, the small fish in a big pond. City of Heroes itself was a longshot, and so is the way it still has so many people standing behind it after all this time.

Plus, just look at our resume. We've fought giant monsters, interdimensional invaders, armies of the undead, time travelers, and ancient gods. Longshots are what we do best. ;)

[CrimsonCapacitor]

Longshots are what we do best. ;)

Careful there, that's getting close to not only a Marvel, but an X-Men trademark.   ;)

Eep! :o

[Shenku]

My namesake and a few others headed back to Myridas(the world my book takes place in), but many of the others are still lingering in limbo, though a few have found reincarnations in DCUO or some other random game, but are largely treated as separate characters because of immense differences between iterations... (Ruby Nova in CoH for example was an evil Nictus pretending to be a Warshade to meet her own goals, where as in DCUO she's a normal hero who's just trying to help people with her gifts.)

Pretty much all of the CoH specific ones are still "fighting" in Paragon against the final entropy wave that was the Coming Storm and they're slowly being swallowed up by the void as their will to fight onwards wavers... (Translation, a bunch of them were "on a whim" alts whom were never heavily invested into, and will likely not be rerolled should CoH ever come back)

[MWRuger]

In limbo.  :-\

I'm pretty much done with MMO's until CoH Comes back, If it never does, then it never does. I'm not going to waste my time trying to make myself like a game because I want a substitute to CoH. I've tried for nearly a year and no luck.

I guess I was never a MMORPG player, just a COH player.

[healix]

Someday, I am sure, we will all know the joys of entering our City again. I won't give up believing this!!!!!

[JaguarX]

Vicious Vicki- Former brute. Got tired of bashing in skulls and getting booed. Moved to Michigan, started new life as a "hero" and gets to bash in skulls and get rewarded with praise and a penthouse.


Smashbinger- After losing his RI Hero license, settled down in Maine and started a family. Still not completely adjusted to civilian life. Recently got sued for tresspassing and property damage after saving his neighbor from getting ran over by a riding lawnmower.

Lady Mink- Hung up her villain cape and opened up a mink fur shop. PETA disapproves. She responded by challenging them to an arena fight. No reply from PETA yet.

Rellik- Villain turned rogue turned hero turned vigalante turned hero has decided he couldnt stop scaring people half to death with his dark powers so he became a  freelance magician. Got arrested twice in NYC for causing 8 heart attacks during a demostration in a retirement home. Then got hired on as an interrogator for the NYPD. Very much enjoying his job scaring some of the most hardened criminals into confessing their crimes. Still pending on whether ornot these methods constitutes torture.

A Mad Woman- Got her bike back. Last spotted in Montana.

Winters-Now working as an ice sculpture artist. Still depressed about losing his RI hero license.

Pollaro Z. Powers- Locked up in a nut house after RI hero liscense was revoked. Now claiming he is Batman. Electricuted four mental asylum guards, 8 counts of refusing his medications, and 4 counts of causing disruption in the hospital by running down the hall wearing only a helmet while singing the the 1960s Batman theme. Usually kept in an anti-static room in solitary confinement to prevent use of his powers.


Nigel A. Scot- Retired. During his tenure as a villain, he converted most of his infamy into Euro. When the fun came to an end, he retired to his British estate, sipping only the best Scotch in the world, watching films of himself manhandling heroes, and enteraining guests with stories of his exploits of how he got away with his crimes in Rogue Island and Paragon City. Rumor is that he and Nemesis still talk on a monthly basis.

[Minotaur]

Tower of power - (Elec/Shield scrapper) - last seen in a dimly lit basement listening to Frank Zappa records along with a bunch of genericed water blasters formerly known as "Golden shower".

Mr Minotaur - (Stone/Axe tank, see my avatar) - Never wanted to be a hero, but trouble followed him around, retired, married with kids, nervously waiting to see if they grow horns.

Eastgate Bay Ray - (PB) - Now playing guitar with the "Dead Freedom Phalanx".

TheoPWildebeest - (Nrg/Nrg blaster) - The self styled "horniest man in the world" in the words of George Best spent a lot of money on booze, women and fast cars and squandered the rest. Now works as an escort.

Debbie does Talos - (fire/WP scrapper) - went back to cheerleading, now housewife to an ex quarterback.

[Tahquitz]

Tahquitz - (Fire/Ice Blaster) Last seen entering a portal in Peregrine Island to head somewhere else.  (READ: Looking for a new game to land in.  Tried and quit Secret World, Neverwinter, and DCUO.  CO as a last resort... closest to COH I can get even though I'm not happy with how it turned out.)

Elara K. - (Fire/Emp Con) In First Ward burning things... before the lights went out in Paragon City the last time.  Last seen in Texas at a Elementary School as a Instructional Aide for 2nd Grade and at a BBQ Competition (stoking fires, still a vegan I'm afraid.) (Same problem as Tahq.)

Matoaka - (MA/SR Scrap) Caught swimming in the Atlantic towards Long Island. (Same problem as Tahq.)

Weld - Currently hard at work trying to make herself look like that guy from Elysium.  (Someday... I might bring her back with the right costume creator, and the right company to join her.)

Quiescent Tourist - (Kinetic/Nin Stalker) Riding a ferry back to the mainland, whereabouts unknown.  Rumored to have returned to Russia. (Not bringing him back.)

Major Epoch - (WarMace/Will Tank) In the depth of Oranbega still busting heads in looking for her eye.  That was 11 months ago, no one's heard from her since. (Not bringing her back.)

As for myself, things have done a 180 since I lost COH, as I've replaced play with more work.  Finishing my degree next week (Associates, don't get too excited), starting an afterschool program (Heard of MOUSE Squad? :D) at my local High School next month, and starting to pay into retirement savings again for the first time in 3 years.  I'm rooting for MWM as soon as I see their Kickstarter appear, otherwise, I can see a time when I'm on MMO games about as often as I visit relatives for the Holidays.  I just hope it's 5 years from now versus 5 weeks... there's too many citizens of Paragon I can't wait to see again, even if it's somewhere else.

After joining a final mission, my character was stuck at Steel City Yellowline......Tram quit running 15 min's before midnight and I was stranded albeit chatting to my friends back in Atlas Park holding torches.

that's Venus--, never far from a Wentworths. :roll:

[Golden Girl]

After joining a final mission, my character was stuck at Steel City

I logged out in Skyway Canyon.









:P

[MaidMercury]

whoops....Steel Canyon....that is.

my word, lost track of map already.... :P

[johnrobey]

Well, my characters mostly still exist in my memory of the various fun times I had playing them.   I can look at them, load up their costumes and go flying around the city zones thanks to Icon, but the streets are surprisingly clean and crime non-existent!  (Gee, I would guess that we'd won but I don't see any hapless citizens around either.)

[ahmpizzedoff]

They all comfortably reside in a nice warm file, with all their SG Mates, on a zip drive. I inadvertently became keeper of the SG!
Some of my toons have had their names resurrected over at SWTOR.
