For an IT guy who works from home maybe he wrote and maintains a specialized internal software package for a large dispersed company. He might be on call for support for the software, but otherwise left alone to work on bugs and upgrades.
 
Maybe he'd have to take the odd call while on an adventure. He could use a cell phone and a headset. I could just see it now:
 
Hero: "Inter-Data tech support, Mike speaking. How can I help you?"
Villain: "What? Blast your cursed swing-line, I'll soon be free of it!"
Hero: "Have you tried closing the application and restarting it?"
Villain: "Ugh! You dare lay hands on Invictor?! I will teach you the meaning of pain!"
Hero: "ARRGH!" "Did you see any error messages pop up before it crashed?"
Villain: "NOO! You've crushed my Omni-Staff! DIE WORM! Hey, who are you talking to?"
Hero: "It sounds like you'll have to do a reboot." "Unghf!" "Let's try that and see if it loads the database again."
Villain: "Are you on the phone?! You DARE take a call while fighting INVICTOR?!"
Hero: "Whuf!" "Okay, it looks like the database connection is back, go to your file menu and see if it saved your last changes."
Villain: "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!"

In CoV or CoH?
 
You have to be 10th in either, I believe.
In CoH, you go to city hall in Atlas, to the registrar (behind the desk inside the entrance).
In CoV, there's a building that's hard to give directions to (Especially from memory). Here's how I go there: When you are in Port Oakes, at the Quartermaster, face to face with him, you go right until you come across the inclined road (It should slope down to your left). Follow it all the way to the bottom where it ends at some stairs up. There's usually some "family" on the stairs. At the top of the stairs is a building; Inside is the registrar. Same one does super-bases.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game
 
Tinman, actually, some of us get upset with others who want us to play "their way" and remind them we pay for our accounts to play "our way". Case in point, when someone asks "R U H3al3r?" I get very annoyed at the lack of proper spelling and ask them why they think they need a healer. Turns out, they don't use tactics.
 
I mostly solo, tactics are my bread and butter. I am not about to try and keep people who don't use strategy alive and see a team wipe. All of my toons use the /hide command and solo. I loathe people thinking I should support them, random invites, and people pestering me after I decline their invites. I tend to ask why they don't play healers, if healers are so important, and remind them that they aren't the only ones who like to deal damage and earn glory.
 
In CoV, I pointedly told people there are no "healers" as the healing powers are reduced in effectiveness and every AT can deal damage. Turned out, those people didn't want to listen and insisted I am a healer because I have either Radiation Aura or Twilight Grasp. As Radiation Aura is a fairly weak heal (great overall as the foes' damage is greatly reduced by Rad debuffs), I don't see that as a healing power to rely on. With Twilight Grasp, I have to score a hit on a foe to heal people around me. If I miss, I just waste endurance and have to wait for the power to recharge. If I hit, people had best be very close to me as the heal radius and amount are reduced in CoV.
 
When I feel like teaming, I let them know I can heal in a pinch, but am playing offensively. Most are cool with that, as a strong offense can mitigate a need for healing. Just beware that some come from other MMOGs and don't understand that CoH/CoV has many ways to do something, and no "right" way to play.

Jeff T's Millennium Knights.
 
Jeff gave me an exhaustive description. I hope I did his team justice. To those others that I have commissions to do for, I will be getting to them slowly and surely. Origins is eating up a bit of time due to prep. But I'll be taking sketches to do with me.
