So where are your characters now?

Don't bet on that ;)

Okay... so... this is weird... but bear with me...

My characters are playing World of Warcraft.   I don't mean they are characters IN WoW... I mean they are actually playing it. 

My latest Tournament pits all my CoH characters against each other in WoW, but since it's a really unnatural transition for some of them, rather than RP them in my mind as actual WoW characters in the WoW world... I'm ... well... I'm imagining them as controlling the WoW characters and competing with each other that way.

So... my current Tournament is my old Tournament competing against each other... in a Tournament.

And, just so you know, I have a restraining order placed against the men in white coats approaching within 75 yards of me... so don't bother calling them.

I like this, very meta... seems like something I would come up with on too little sleep

My characters are still right in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, where they're having their assorted adventures off-screen.  I treated CoH's closing like the end of a television series - the world depicted keeps on turning (well, usually; I'm aware there are some exceptions), even if we can't watch it anymore.

I made heroic analogs of Thunder Glove and Dr. Bodog on Champions, but they didn't feel the same.  I can't make anything even remotely close to them anywhere else.  But even if I managed to find a place to remake them, those would be alternate-universe versions, not the "originals".

[Kyriani]

All but one of my characters died when the world ended... but that one character went back in time to change that from happening. So right now we're just waiting for him to finish his task and rewrite history so the others live again!

And that's the story I plan to go with once the "behind the scenes" people working on getting the coh client working again give us something playable.

For the successors (assuming I decide I like what they've done) it will be all new stories and all new characters.

I had mine all saved on my PC, but then my house burned down and destroyed my PC.  However, a friend managed to rescue all my data from the HD and store it all on an external.  YAY!  But, a few weeks ago, that external died (bad controller) so I lost them all... again.  My friend is trying to rescue all the data again, but I don't hold out much hope this time.

There are lots of cloud providers that will give you enough free space to store your Sentinel+ files.  If you get your files back, upload them somewhere.

I'm considering the possibility of some of them visiting Eorzea (FF14), but I'm not sure just how pigeon-holed into a story and a look they'll be there. I can work my way around a lot in my mind, but if it's too obvious that your character's backstory is pre-canned, then Yoru-hime and company just wouldn't fit in.

The extent of the backstory for new people is that you are an adventurer heading towards whatever city matches your class, FYI. There's a little more backstory for those who completed the 1.0 storyline, but I doubt that'd apply to you.

I planned on making Celesta Seusen, my SS/Inv Brute in it, but the way armor for DoW tends to look...Is dealbreaking so far. I suppose it'll depend on what I could pick up in time for a Pugilist/Monk.

That's really the extent of it, otherwise.

All moved to Millennium City, although one tends to stray into Gotham and Metropolis occasionally as well.

Good news: Controllers are usually replaceable without significant difficulty. Bad news: It may require quite a bit of precision soldering (though not in every case).

I saved my CoH game directory data on several hard drives, even a network drive.
May attempt to clone my present drive next month with a StarTech.com SATA Hard Drive HDD Duplicator Dock.

.....never used one before but it looks like a pretty straight forward way.
Norton Ghost is a bit iffy process.

IRL, all my characters pics/bios are saved on disc, both in Sentinal and jpg/text. In Paragon, they are busy rebuilding cities, working on getting lights back on and waiting for me.

There's a version of Palrah (my beloved WP/DB tank) running around in Secret World. And, of course, he, Kestrel and Cardinal all exist in both little kid/"chibi" and adult resin forms.

The Chibis...

The chibis are 25cm LittleFee dolls from Cerberus Project, while the grown-ups are 65/70cm Iplehouse EIDs.

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

[MishaFox]

I saved all my files and have LOADS of screenshots. But my characters are still alive and well and fighting evil in my mind. Also I've taken to writing stories featuring them! For those interested you can find the stories and loads of screenshots on my DA site:  http://captfox.deviantart.com/

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

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.

You solder Controllers?  Don't they put you in a hold and summon fire imps or something to pummel you while you do this?

[McNum]

Let's see. Rose is in Ylisse at the moment. Trying to prevent Grima's resurrection in Fire Emblem Awakening. She's also in Sims 3 from time to time.

The others are waiting for their chances to shine. Because losing City of Heroes made me realize something... Even though my characters were made in Paragon City, doesn't mean that their basic character traits and designs can't be used in other games. In fact, with Paragon City gone, the only way for them to live on is to change worlds.

It's a big multiverse. There's bound to be many places for them to pop up along the way. If the game allows for custom characters, one of them is sure to pop up at least once.

And maybe, just maybe, they'll pop up on paper outside any game. Since I've swapped my CoH time with learning to draw. Humans are SO hard to get right...

There's more of us out there than you think. XD And it's super exciting to find another doll enthusiast. :)

Same here.  The one exception is my alien character finally found a passage to his home world and left Earth.

No pressure (okay, a little).  But I'm really looking forward to you coming through on this GG.  And thank you with all my heart for the effort even if you don't.  *fingers crossed*
