My Lady's Thorn, Avatar of She Who Thrives Between

She Who Thrives Between. That was her name, and soon it became mine. In piercing the dimensions, in slipping between them and falling into the vast nothingness between realities, I became hers.

Time stands still in the Void. Every moment I floated, every moment I fell, felt like an instant an an eternity. Searing hot and searing cold at the same time, and yet my body did not wither away. I remained awake and aware for every agonizing moment of my existence in the nonexistant.

They say I was gone for fifteen seconds.

In those fifteen seconds I saw stars born, grow, and collapse in upon themselves through the places where reality grows thin. In those fifteen seconds I went mad, brought myself back to sanity, and went mad again in an endless cycle.

In time I found Her. She Who Thrives Between. She is alive like nothing else in existence. She lives, she learns, she creates, and above all she loves.

In compassion for my suffering she took me to herself, she devoured my old flesh, reduced my old bones to dust. She consumed them, digested them, and left me behind. She embraced my spirit, making it a part of her own. For far to brief and for a nearly infinite span of time I was a part of her. I was a single atom in a being the size of a universe, one single mote making up the spirit of a goddess.

With her eternal love and wisdom, she suffered and inflicted the agony of our parting. She tore away the piece of herself that I had become, giving me a miniscule portion of her own flesh and blood, and she sent me back.

It is her blood that flows through my veins, and each drop spilled spreads her wisdom, her mercy, and her love. In time plant, animal, fungi, all will become meaningless. Her plan and her will shall shape life to purpose and function. United in her love for them and our love for her.

Let me free you from the frailties of your form, let me break the chains binding your limited mind. You will feel so much better. There will be no need for anger, no need for sorrow, no need for pain.

In time all will be made one with our goddess. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not a hundred, a thousand, or a million years from now. But she waits eternities with each second that passes in the Void. She is as patient as she is wise and caring.

Just let me help you become better, beloved. Become a part of her. Become a part of me. Become a part of us.

We love you. We will always love you. In time all will know our love.

You ask why, my love? It is such the simplest thing! Knowledge that a mere child knows.

You have to remember, my sweet, that love conquers all.

Love. Conquers. All.

Captain Bacon

A beacon of all that is good, and arguably the best smelling hero to ever having existed.  Captain Bacon fights crime with a lethal combination of copious amounts of bacon grease which he manifests by a means altogether unknown, and the ability to manifest fire as well.  These two factors would be bad enough if it weren't for making the bad guys so distractingly hungry in the midst of the fight.  Always supportive to other heroes, always a source of silliness, Captain Bacon loves you all!!!!!

Yume no Tsuzuki means "the Dream will continue." This was the very last character I created, on the very last day.

Edit: Added for clarity of costume

Vigil Arrow
Trick Arrow/Archery Defender

In a world of gods, monsters, mutants, and aliens, he is simply a man with a bow who will not miss.

Dark Vines my Dark/Dark Scrapper









Sean Evans was born with dark powers and raised by the Circle of Thorns. His parents was teaching him everything they know how to use every Circle of Thorn spells. When he hit puberty he started to grow vines through his body and came with the name Dark Vines. As time went on he was getting a lot of attention from the Circle of Thorn members. Eventually, his dad got jealous. He felt he wasn't part of the Circle of Thorns anymore. He challenged Dark Vines into a duel. They'd fought for several hours while his mother watched them fight helplessly. Dark Vines won the duel, killing his father. He told his mother he's not going to be a member of the Circle of Thorns anymore because he feels guilty killing his own father. Numina found him and trained him to become a hero in Paragon City. Years later, Dark Vines somehow had grown hatred from the heart telling himself he doesn't want to be a hero anymore. He went to the Rogue Isles and got inspired by Ghost Widow and wanted to serve Arachnos for a while. He forgot he had a girlfriend in Paragon City. She kept calling him, leaving messages, and emailing him telling him to come back to Paragon City. Dark Vines was pissed off, then he finally made his decision. He is now Rogue so he can do his own thing, visiting Paragon City and Rogue Isles helping heroes and villains, and spend time with his girlfriend.

Ze'fira
Earth Control/Fire Assault Dominator

Rumors are that she is called Ze'fira, meaning morning, as a more hopeful name than that of her true identity, the incarnate of Sekhmet. It is said in the early days of the war against the Devouring Earth, an Egyptologist and his small team stumbled upon an abandoned dig site in Memphis, Egypt. The site appeared to have been attacked. Upon investigating more, he found winches that dropped ropes into a narrow opening at the site. Continuing to look for survivors, he found the attack had uprooted the earth and unveiled an entrance to ancient temple. His curiosity pushed him forward as he read the glyphs etched into the columns. Suddenly, he noticed a soft sound,that of breathing, from within the temple. He came upon them in the deepest chamber , a woman and a man, unconscious but alive, adorned as gods.The team brought them to America and to Emperor Cole.

Will she be mornings hope or the slayer of men?

My Elec/Dark Brute. After dealing with Mot, she began to walk a Hero's path. This is the costume she wore when she begun that path.

Sadly, I can't find her story anywhere. Losing this character makes me cry every time I see it.


That's me in the background.  The Zombie in black trench coat and black pants!
One way or another... Heroes will fly again!

Chrissie Blizzard


Christina Sturm was a relatively ordinary German policewoman of American ancestry, until she took part in a raid on an illegal laboratory. Its operator, one Dr. Lachsbach, tried to create new kinds of weapons he could then sell to other villain groups. Unprepared and unarmed, he threw his vials at the officers. Christina was hit, and the distraction allowed Lachsbach to escape.

The chemicals affected Christina's body, and she eventually found herself with several superpowers, most notably the power to produce cold, in a way that allowed her to hurl shards of ice. She soon left service in order to operate independently.

Chrissie Blizzard became one of the most famous Heroes in the region. This angered Dr. Lachsbach, who had not gotten his career back on track. It was relatively easy for him to figure out her civilian identity, and he took revenge by having her family murdered. However, this made Chrissie only more determined to vanquish evil, and less restricted.

Not long after, she came to Paragon City while investigating a plot involving the 5th Column. Realizing that, following the destruction of Galaxy City, there was a need for someone like her, and up for a change of scenery, she took up residence in Paragon.

Unfortunately my hosting site downgrades the quality of these screenies. This is my Fire/FF Controller, made specifically for use during ship raids. She was not my go-to character, but her costumes always made people stop and look. Began as a hero, switched to redside and never looked back. Her name was Firefly Lantern.

Not really entering this contest, my quality is not good enough. Its just been one year today that all my characters died. And I miss them all so much.

Mr. Fahrenheit

In the closing months of City of Heroes I put much of my efforts into filling out the ranks of a supergroup I'd created with heroes designed based on the lyrics from pop songs.  I was particularly proud of Pinball.Wizard, who looked as much like a Praetorian Seer as I could manage, and El Condor Pasa who had a great look.  Oh, and No Fear Cavalier, who had one of my favorite character descriptions: "He's a renegade, so steer clear."  Short and simple, and if that didn't get the source song stuck in your head, then I wasn't doing my job.

It should have occurred to me, but didn't, to create a character from Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now", so I'm rectifying it here.  With a shiny, mercury skin under a signature moustache, Mr. Farenheit is a Sonic/Fire Defender with afterburner-level flight travel powers.  This would allow him to
  • "Burn... through the sky, yeah, [at] 200 degrees"
  • "Travel at the speed of light"
  • and "Make a super-sonic man out of you."
Future costumes would reflect the lyrics involving being "a rocket ship on [his] way to Mars", being "Lady Godiva" (!!), and being "a shooting star leaping through the air like a tiger".  Because, well, why have five costume slots if you can't fill them with crazy alts from crazy imagery.

Took too long.
The bio wasn't working out - too much backstory to abbreviate, and I'm a horrible writer.



Athena 2.0 ( in CoH: Booster Angel, Beam Rifle/Energy Blaster)

Cold air on my face as the faceplate retracts.
The sound of my own voice screaming: "DO I LOOK LIKE A GODDAMN MACHINE TO YOU?!".
Blue takes a step back. The helmet covers her face, but her body language still makes the reaction clear: Shock. Revulsion. Horror.


I remember the child taught to become a weapon.
I remember the girl who thought herself a warrior.
I remember the soldier who chose to become more.

I began my life as a weapon.
That is not all I am.
But in the here and now, it will suffice.

This is not my home.
Not my fight.
But it is something worth fighting for.

My name is Freyja Hildrsdottir.
I am Athena.
And I will not surrender, now or ever
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.
