  1. Hi, I'm an old Champions player, looking for a Discord server for HERO games, I tried the link, but says it's unavailable. Is there a new link, since I would like to join up.
  2. Re: List Your CO Heroes! Now that RMC is working I was able to find my characters. http://champions-online.com/rate_my_champion/820588 http://champions-online.com/rate_my_champion/2304 http://champions-online.com/rate_my_champion/53099 http://champions-online.com/rate_my_champion/68795 http://champions-online.com/rate_my_champion/864693 http://champions-online.com/rate_my_champion/754441 I'm setting my characters up with 3 costume theme's by 18th level, I had a cool angel type character I'll add his picture at a later time. I'm now thinking I'll use his design as a nemesis for Adwellin Kale, but the design is very cool. Armor sets will be set up for.... 1) Standard Adventuring 2) Forensic Combat 3) Club Caprice Casual or Appropriate for setting (RP) I need to rework Gloryfox's force powers so I'm leaving him at 9th until I can afford to respec and set him up correctly.
  3. Re: The HERO System 6th Edition Will there be a 6th ed Combat Summery PDF, to help introduce new players? or Will the old one suffice?
  4. Re: Official Hero Boards Super Team And Chat Channel! Hi Steve, Lifetime member with CO, and I'd like to join although I've not been active on these forums for a while. I'll look you up online when I'm on. IGN Ardwellin Kale@Gloryfox main Tzu Qui Jenna@Gloryfox other main
  5. Re: So what concepts are you tempted to play on the MMORPG anyway? I keep thinking I'll remake many of my old Champions characters such as the Grasshopper (Clinging Acrobat Martial Artist), Gloryfox (Tank with Flash powers when he hits), Spirit of Freedom (Shape changer). I understand Shape change will be something they are adding ATM.
  6. Re: A qustion about the Ethical Treatment of Villians. OMGOSH I did mispell it! Sorry Lord Liaden. I'm having a hard time seeing Dark Champions as it's own MMO. Easy to see it as it's own game however. So if someone makes a Harby in ChO will Steve sue? (ducks and covers from sniper sight)
  7. I know this has probably been answered already but.. Will we see Harbinger of Justice? I know that Steve owns Harbinger of Justice since it's his character but still will we see him in Champions online or is that completely off the table?
  8. Re: Which Champion are you Noble and true, you are the hero other heroes aspire to be. You are a natural leader, selfless and kind, who will put the lives of others above your own, and are steadfast in your pursuit of justice. Take the quiz! I guess he likes Pie too.
  9. Re: Champions Online - Server Names I would also love to join a Super Group based on HERO fans. I know the game is months away from release but please add me to your list.
  10. Re: WWYCD: "Tell me about your teammates." GloryFox - Thinking to himself, "Wow just wow that new member Whei Tu Fauun chick is just so damm hot!" "Must not show it, must concentrate on being a good example of a good team leader." "Oh crap! she is wearing that black skin tight thong cleavage busting outfit again," "Concentrate... must continue to concentrate on the task at hand..." The Grasshopper - "I swear these guys need to pull it together!" "No one cares I repeat no one cares who ordered the double Cheese, Pepperoni, Onion, and Anchovie extra large pizza." "Either eat it, pick the toppings off you don't like or stop complaining about it." Thinks to himself all the time, "Perhaps I should become a villain and kick their asses? At least maybe then they will act like a team." Spirit of Freedom - "Hey you gonna eat that left over smoked salmon?" "If these guys flirt with my wife one more time I'm gonna go all Bear Form on their asses." "You know someone pays for Direct TV at the super secret lodge, if that person wants to watch Hockey on Monday nights guess what? He gets too I don't care if the new 24 is on, get your own Direct TV and remote control."

Everywhere he went he drew Heavy Metal crowds far and wide. He was famous for his time and even did tours with various Heavy Metal Bands. He was handsome strong, and short. He was all about the fans, and he did have fans, lots of them. One day 1989 a odd looking fan showed up at his door before a concert, he was used to visitors before the concerts but this was not an ordinary fan. Once he opened the door to this fan began changing forms in front of him. It had a third eye in its head red skin and gaping maw filled with teeth. Its hands had suction cups like a squids in the middle of its hands. He thought it was a stage prop at first until it grabbed him and began to suck the life out of him. That’s when his powers finally kicked in. He suddenly felt invincible as he fell backwards through the dressing trailer pulling the creature with him. The creature no longer had him but instead Imp had it, and began crushing it little by little, breaking first its arms then crushing it’s body as if it was a doll toy. Just before it died the creature turned back. Turned back into what it looked like before it was the monster. Then there was the screams as people flocked to the area, “he killed him!” someone shouted. So Imp ran, he just ran, until the M.I.B. showed up. As he turned a corner a woman appeared and she said, “wait it was not your fault we saw what happened, quickly come with us if you want to live.” Imp’s life changed at that moment, he knew his life would be different somehow. It took a while for him to understand what it was that tried to kill him. He felt like a freak for destroying that dressing trailer, and killing that creature with his bare hands. What had he become? “It was a Changling, but its dead now, we are tracking the other two right now” said another agent over a radio. Imp left that night with the M.I.B. he had not known about the secret war of the Changlings or how they were hunting people with extraordinary abilities or even exactly why they had begun hunting him, but what he did know was that he could never be Imp Steel again. Imp joined the M.I.B. first because all the babes were hot, and he was still a celebrity of sorts. He was not truly interested in the war against the Changlings or protecting mankind against the aliens or extra dimensional monsters that found their way into our world, or the threat of advancing technologies. Imp was all about the travel to various countries, the celebrity status and the free coffee. Then after the recent event in Siberia and realizing that his friends were getting older, his celebrity status was fading, plus he had never truly aged much since 1989 he decided it was his time to fit in, and take his place within the ranks of the M.I.B. or at least be serious now and try to make a difference in the world. He was special and the Changlings were still out there devouring people with special abilities just like him. Who better to protect people with special abilities than one of their own? Personality/Motivation: Imp wants to be taken seriously now. After years of just sitting on the sideline and making M.I.B. mixer appearances he has chosen to fully join the team on the front lines. He has seen first hand how Changlings have destroyed lives, his life in particular. He wants to contribute to honor the memory of many of his comrades that have gone the way of old age, whereas he has stayed young. Imp is a big fan of Special Unit 2 but does not want to be thought of as the gnome of the group. Quote: “It’s time to Rock and Roll old school style!” Powers/Tactics: Imp has an ability called Going Platinum. Essentially it’s one power linked to several powers at the same time. Imp’s density increases to an astounding amount. His durability and ability to resist damage is also quite astounding when he goes platinum. One odd thing about his power is that his overall weight does not seem to affect the ground he walks on. Instead of making cracks in the ground or falling through the floor he just moves around as normal. To date it’s a physics enigma as to how or why he can do this. Campaign Use: Imp is the muscle man of the party. Appearance: Imp is about 4’8” tall and about 200 lbs until he goes platinum. He has green eyes and black hair; he has a great personality and sense of humor. He is attractive and known as a chick magnet so most guys are a bit protective of their women around him. Imp is clean and always in style. When not on the job he wears his trademark Heavy Metal leather duster.
  12. Re: A Game Of Questions Can you Start by being my Friend?
  13. Re: Loved at home hated by the world. Wow, I was not expecting the harsh responses here since. a) I said this was for a background plot. I never said the player characters in my current game "are" indeed the ones on trial. The question was WW"Y"CD what I have not chosen yet, is what the character in question did when everything turned against him. The stage is set, I have just not chosen the outcome past, what did the defendant do after he was accused? ..... Fact is the players are doing the Investigation for the defending attorney and helping out another costumed comrade in need of help. What is wrong with that style of an adventure? What I get the feeling here is that people are under the mindset that I am somehow making a political statement. I'm not, I'm running a supers CSI style game (that my players enjoy) where Hudson City is the backdrop. The HERO in question and the attorney representing him is also from that City. For those who replied without prejudice and answered the question thank you.
  14. Re: Loved at home hated by the world. For clarification the U.S. does indeed extradite people to other countries for trial even in Death Penalty cases that are accidental or not. HERO's would and could be extradited in this world, the year is 2034 and the New World Order is in the process of becoming a serious reality. Thus there was and is in this world a need for strong international laws on meta-humans. This would follow under treaties with the respective nation in question who returned to Sharia Law post treaty. Because the HERO's were non-Muslims and their actions did result in the death of Islam believers the country in question is seeking the Death Penalty (evil infedel even if you did save the city it's obviously a western trick). Your country does not hold to Sharia but supports the ideal of a nation of Law. It is the current policy of the United States in this time to be a protector of Law, even if that Law does not make sense to those living in the United States. "We are a nation of Law who support the use of Law" has become a form of propaganda world wide in this time line. (Yes there are some "Law vs. Lawful" ties to the reality of the Supers in their time line. Supers are slowly becoming the target of the state do to the ideal of upholding what is lawful and right vs. the laws made out of fear of meta humans, of their time line. Real or not this is not an uncommon theme within the bounds of comic books.) Furthermore at this point in history Islam is the predominant religion of the world (actually it is now) and Shria Law has become popular world wide because of social steins upon the nations who are influenced by the threat of Jihad & turmoil upon them if they don't. Disclaimer-The events are for a backdrop story arch I am writing, not actual in game events with real players - yet.
  15. Re: The Devil's Advocate? GloryFox - I would use my passive light of revealing aura to suppress Illusion and mental powers. Spirit of Freedom - meh, not to worry, these things happen. Get em next time. The Grasshopper - is not above kicking the evil attorney in the groin.
