Clonus Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Re: Counter-stereotyping I just realized that one of my characters in Champions Online goes against type. I started Red Streak as a simple Soldier archetype, with a bunch of guns. But then it came time to choose a Travel Power, and the best one I could see was Superspeed. So she runs super-fast, but unlike typical speedsters she doesn't fight with her fists -- she shoots. Mercury Mercenary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Re: Counter-stereotyping A time traveller who has neither super tech (or the ability to build some), nor knowledge of what is going to come: "I only changed parts when they needed to be changed, I didn't build them. And History was so boring because of Mr./Mrs.{incarnation of boring History-Teacher Archetype}." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
