I started and finished on Freedom, and when that server was down I made a few characters on Justice and Virtue

[MM3squints]

I had Aggelakis, Aggelakis II, and Aggelakis III on Justice. Agge is an emp/archery, 2 is emp/dark, and 3 is dark/archery. I had three of them because my Agge concept was bigger than City could encompass. lol

Good to see someone else also just take their main's name and make alts with the name too. I didn't that on Triumph besides maybe 8 other people in the whole server. Personally I did that because I lack creativity to think of a name.

The backstory for my main when I created her was that she was an experimental clone from a different timeline in which the Rikti won the Rikti war.  As a result, when it came to making alts on different servers, I had a built-in reason for reproducing my main on them with anything from minor to major changes in design.

I treated each server as an alternate reality.

In a perfect world where money was no object, I would have liked for each server to have a different outcome. One could have been a Post Apocalyptic wasteland ruled by the Freakshow. Another could have been the Warwolf World. A third could have been Nemesis controlled and your heroes were fighting to end his evil reign....

I had about 10 different versions of one character spread across various servers. Captain Neat-O always had either energy or radiation, blasters, defenders,  tank or brute...and all had the same neon green, yellow and red costume. 

And then I had two other characters that if I wanted to pay a particular power set but couldn't think of a character concept to go with them, I'd fall back onto these two.  One was a group that I started with friends, a power ranger spoof team, the Paragon Ringers.  So would have Red Ringer, Black Ringer, etc. Pick a color and go.  Or I had my kid genius character.  He'd make different power armor suits and go by Kid <insert noun that had something to do with his power set  > he was my generic character template if I wanted to RP with the character

You remind me of the time I created "Kaptain Killsteal" on Champion. I got him up to about level 5, then any time I wanted a break from the real game I took him to the hollows, jumped into the middle of anyone fighting several levels above me. Of course I would face-plant quickly, then start asking for a rez in zone chat (despite usually being less than 100 yards from the hosp). You could tell immediately who had a brain and a sense of humour (angry tells clearly signalling a lack of both). Of course his battle cry was "MINE!"

The backstory for my main when I created her was that she was an experimental clone from a different timeline in which the Rikti won the Rikti war.  As a result, when it came to making alts on different servers, I had a built-in reason for reproducing my main on them with anything from minor to major changes in design.

I had a villain Brute, on Infinity, named Sasyk, who was a tad insane(due to how he was granted his abilities). I had inspiration to create a Heroic copy of him on the same server because of a mission where some group was creating clones of your character. In the mission, Sasyk saved his clone's life. That clone decided to do something constructive with his life. He had the same Power-sets, but was a Tank instead of a Brute, and also was a tad less insane.

Also, I had made a villain group on Champion that was similar to the "Goatee Universe" copy of the Hero group I had on that server. The Bouquet of Roses (Good guys) and the Roses Gone Wild (Villains). Many of the RGW characters were villain copies of the BoR characters. One of them was even a blatant copy. I mean really. Clone of Sniper Rose isn't misleading at all, is it? I didn't have a hero counter-part to Rose and Posse and Necro Rose. Both, of whom, were Masterminds. Thugs/Poison and Necro/Dark.

I had Altitis. I don't think it was a bad as some of yous guys' addiction though. I only had somewhere around 150 or so characters spread across all the American servers (except Freedom) and two accounts. I still had a lot of empty character slots I could have filled.

I had a character that was similar, though I had five alts.  I eventually 'nerfed' her as I wanted to focus more on certain aspects of her abilities and felt her having to many wasn't particularly balancing;

Kin/energy defender(Eventually began obsoleting it, time manipulation showed up). My most powerful offensive support character.  I was likely to just rename the char, since I'd done so much with this one.
Mind/Kin controller: Redundant and deleted.
Fortunata: The main iteration.
Energy blast/time manipulation: The other main iteration.
Kin melee/Willpower: A melee iteration.

A reboot of the game will only have one of those and even then, I'll likely change a detail or two.  Probably make a robotics/time manipulation version of the character, as I am leaning towards in paragon chat.

Great!  Due to the complete lack of anyone asking for this, I think I'll add a short description of each of those toons...

Chuckles the Barbarian - Think a cross between Conan and Bozo. Over-muscled clown with a huge sword!

The Running-Away Man - Didn't get invited to teams very often.  When he did, as soon as a fight started, he lived up to his name.

Doctor Defeatable - Every level I picked the absolute least usable power. 

Doorsitter Boy - Would never leave the lobby in any door mission.  He got kicked from alot of teams.

Captain Frogtoes - Big green guy with funny feet.  Well, it was funny to me.

Magic Gus - Just a play on The Who's "Magic Bus." He got his powers from psychedelic drugs, and acted like it.

Captain Colostomy - Water blaster.  Water colored bright yellow.  Any further questions?

Abe Vigoda - crotchety.

Yes, *if* we ever get the game back, I have a few characters that will be re-made with alternate powersets... especially Scott Comet (think Adam Strange or Buck Rogers or any other "out of place" sci-fi hero)

He was an assault rifle / devices blaster, but I think his origin would fit better with a beam rifle / devices combo.

He was a mall-cop from the 25th century catapulted back through time due to a mishap with a device at Radio Shack.

Must have been one of those trendy hipster product revivals.

The whole point of using them to begin with was my utter amazement at how they were still an operational company with the decisions and changes made since the 80's.  Because of that, I thought they were "immortal" like Keith Richards and Dick Clark... oh...

I was an altoholic and i don't even think I had 50 unless you count deleted toons. 150 is srsbsns.

[Thunder Glove]

I had a villain Brute, on Infinity, named Sasyk, who was a tad insane(due to how he was granted his abilities). I had inspiration to create a Heroic copy of him on the same server because of a mission where some group was creating clones of your character. In the mission, Sasyk saved his clone's life. That clone decided to do something constructive with his life. He had the same Power-sets, but was a Tank instead of a Brute, and also was a tad less insane.

I did the same thing!   Thunder Glove saved his clone and let him live, so I created the clone as Thunder Mirror.  (Thunder Mirror's powers were different, though, because the cloning process didn't reproduce TG's infusion of magic, so he was Tech-based and wore power armor instead.  TG was an Elec/Invuln Brute, while TM was an Elec/Elec Tanker)

[Remaugen]

I had Altitis bad too, one account had over 50 (I bought extra slots) on Champion with a few scattered on other servers like Exhalted. But I had two other paid main accounts and other freebie accounts as I needed them, well over a hundred toons, maybe as many as 130, not really sure now, it's been so long, and most of them were on Champion. I remember many of them, certainly not all of them, but with a few exceptions, they were all named  *** Remaugen. . . 

I loved to team solo, I would run missions and even TFs at times with toons from each of my accounts and sometimes a friend or two. It was handy for creating my own SGs/VGs. Sometimes I would farm in Recluses Victory on a rooftop overnight, set up a couple of toons in a team on auto attack (Usually something like Footstomp) and a few others on a team with auto rez going, just let them go killing each other and self rezzing overnight, all night long. It was great for loot, usually a purple or sometimes, if I got lucky, two.

Nice , I too had a few joke characters on Freedom and Justice,
Captain BunBun
A Bunny, it was funny when an npc talked about A Bunny; such as "I saw A Bunny take on Frostfire. "

I made "A Man With A Gun" once, for the same joke... But deleted him because he was a goober.

I saw "An Ordinary Man" running around the city at one point...

I had one once named No Body, a stalker.  Thus when he defeated opponents they could say "Nobody defeated me"
