Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs Right Here. (Note: the song is legendary for its sheer length and thus performed cautiously at best. Though it's not so bad as "Matty Groves", a song summarized by Frank Hayes in "Lamb to the Slaughter" that may or may not actually exist otherwise and is reputed to be 470 verses long.)

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game It turns out I'm @Redshot21. I wonder if I need a better handle, but I only get one chance to set one -- I don't know whether that's 'ever" or because I'm on a Demo account. On Protector, my Level 4 Mutant Scrapper (Lord Kronstien) was left standing directly in front of the medical center in Skyway. As mentioned before, I need to get OUT of Skyway and back to Atlas Park. I have an ongoing mission in Atlas park at a warehouse on the southwest corner of the zone map -- the problem, as I mentioned, has been getting there. I don't have any movement powers to make running the gauntlet any easier. If someone can get me back there and back on track for the mission I'd appreciate it. It would also help to get another couple of levels -- or eventually to get enough levels that wrong turns aren't universally fatal. On Champion, I have a Level 2 Magic Scrapper (Kaishaku). He was left standing near Ms. Liberty after getting killed once and taking out a few random thugs including some Level 4s. I don't have any missions for him and haven't even been to City Hall to pick one up, and have no contacts outside the Tutorial adventure. I have a couple of variations on Redshot (a science blaster with a machine gun) on a couple of other servers. I don't think I'm going to be using them anymore. He just isn;t very efficient and I can't prevent thugs from closing distance in a hurry after I start shooting at them. I'm wondering when my heroes get to be super. So far the thugs are close to forcing my hand as far as what I do. I'd like to have a car to get to mission sites, but the only cars in the game appear to be random distractions.
