Archetype. . . Controller. Specifically, XX/Empath. Even more specifically, my two main toons, Tubbius (Plant Control/Empath/Ice Mastery) and Waddle the Penguin (Ice Control/Empath/Ice Mastery). Tubbius is one of Justice's more prominent Santa Claus lookalikes; Waddle is the character dearest to my heart in terms of story due to his development over the four PENGUIN Architect Entertainment arcs and over his appearance in a fifth arc, This Costume Contest Sponsored by Tubbius.
Why do I love Controllers? I'm a fairly natural leader who likes playing mid-range in the action, where I can both manage the action and call the shots. As an Empath, I've never gone for Fortify, Clear Mind, Heal Other, or Absorb Pain, favoring the short range aura effects (better for soloing and better for forcing teamwork!), so after making numerous Empath controllers, I can say that it definitely suits my primary playstyle.
