GestaltBennie Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Another character from one of the more obscure corners of the Champs U. Interesting to see how the world's being fleshed out. http://champions-online.com/node/80033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Re: Stingray is Up Well, can't have Lemurians without Atlanteans. Really. I'm glad we're starting to see the other side of that conflict brought forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Stingray is Up In the PnP game there didn't seem to be much conflict between Atlantis and Lemuria in the modern CU. Their rival empires during the Atlantean Age are long gone, and the remnants of their respective civilizations are practically on opposite sides of the globe. It appeared that the Empyreans were once again the focus of Lemurian ire. But Cryptic does seem to be tying the underwater plotlines together. With the Lemurian civil war looking to be a major development in the MMO, it may be that Stingray will ally herself with one faction or the other in exchange for help conquering Atlantis. I was struck by how closely CO's backstory for Stingray matches that published in Champions Universe; although Cryptic giving her a "neglected childhood" seems calculated to make her more sympathetic, and possibly redeemable.

nexus Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Stingray is Up MMO's need as many fighting factions as they can get so I guess it makes sense to ramp up the underwater conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct conflict, no. Not much. But conquering Atlantis has long been a background motivation for Lemuria. Almost a driving force. I like that it's being brought more to the front. Remember, Lemuria didn't last through the cataclysm and make it out the other side, they transported through time. They haven't had 10,000 years to forget about Atlantis, for them the conflict is much much closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
