I am definitely liking the bullet beatdown controller w/ hex of suffering and eldritch bolts for a 'gunslinging mage' type of character...are there any powers that could be substituted in for Thunderclap?
-
Hey, just bumping this to say I've been having fun with the bullet beatdown + eldritch blast + manipulator flavor of this build. But now with the changes to the pistol set, with the addition of new powers and the 'Furious' effect, would this affect the combo blaster at all?
-
Another round of revamps Here Fulminis opts for a partial mask so his plebeian foes can witness his superiority without obscuration. Newly renamed 'The Vigil', sporting new spats, pants and gloves that further conceal his undead nature, plus new gun holsters and belt. Komodo is now 'SonuvaG.U.N.'; the acronym's meaning is…

Decided to clean house on my character list, here's a couple new ones while I work on more concepts Funk: A manimal recently escaped from Monster Island, Funk was always an outcast even among his peers - now on his own, he fights evil away from the staring eyes of the public with his rather unique natural 'weapon'.…
-
Wow, that's quite a bit to play with. Thanks for the detailed response! I might give a Conurbite concept a try (probably not too hard with the chainsaw power or the roin'esh weapon arms)
-
On the subject of Babylon: what sort of characters are best suited to having some connection to the realm, like their powers? Can only sorcerors draw from the place, or could other sorts of characters have a tie to it?
-
Here's another series of visual updates based on some more costume pieces I got hold of. Ol' ice gangster Luciano now uses the skeleton torso to layer the fantasy cape option over his suit jacket. To cover up most of the skeleton bits showing I used the steelhawk logo, the tie and the high collar to distract the eye from…
-
I'm back and I have a few tweaks to the above designs (again). I'll keep them short and sweet: Corporal Punishment has new pants, namely the Trey Kings pants to complete the gimp look. Since the cut off pant leg looked weird I covered it up with some asymmetrical boots. Also made him primarily black to further get the…
-
Thanks Zenith! Gradient Man A horrible fusion of two elemental beings, Gradient Man is an experiment gone wrong. Mentally unstable and dangerous to friend and foe, the newly formed being harnesses the power of fire and ice to destructive effect. The insane vagabond has made appearances in all sorts of places, leaving one…
-
Alright, I'm game for this. For such a run I introduce.... PARTY ANIMAL He will be a combination of bestial powers with powers I deem suitable for a hardcore party dude (flame breath = alcohol induced fire breathing). As of this writing, he's level 10 with Con PSS (He's imbibed so much drugs and alcohol he is somehow…
-
So far, I really dig Sigma Red's look. Nice to see those chops used in something that isn't steampunk.
-
Here's a little design evolution comparison I can fill space with, my oldest alt, Aquanaut: Here's him posing with a fan from way back... ...and here is his current iteration. The kanji on his head for 'courage' was the last touch, alluding to his Japanese heritage. Too bad it looks kind of bad zoomed out.
-
Thanks zenith! In fact, your character Britannia inspired me to try my own hand at national personification heroes: Columbia - Chosen by the same-named national personification (who resided in the realm of Babylon) to be her champion, politically active Marie Johnson does her best to embody the romantic ideals of America,…
-
Thanks eal! Tac Armor tights are pretty swell. Komodo Hardball - In the grim future of 2004, a war-worn Earth struggles to survive against a united Communist cyborg force, bloodthirsty warlords, and renegade mutants. The last bastion of true democracy, the United Forces of Northmerica, has one man to clean up the mess:…
-
New characters to come soon, and perhaps even some alternate outift showcases. Here's one: EMTrooper - Nigel Finnegan, aka the EMTrooper, is a dedicated paramedic from an alternate dimension where nanotechnology developed to the point where it became a valuable tool for healing. As a result, medics equipped with this…
-
Meyeron and Mantis Shrimp in particular are great, I like the creative use of the mechassassin shields.
-
All your characters look really good, I think my favorites have to be Britannia, Fast Track, Rebound, and Aqua Rex. I too, like the use of colors. What's your strategy when it comes to coloring these outfits?
-
I really need to get my hands on the clockwork helmet, that looks like a really good piece. I also like the use of the alien skin to simulate torn clothing. Finally, Bleeding Heart definitely stands out more with the skeletal chest, really adds to the character.
-
All these look great, but my favorites are probably Commander Zep, Archon, Think Tank and Barry Rabbit.
-
I had a moment of dissatisfaction and decided to scrap Cellulose, Maestro Exploder and Boomslang for new concepts Catalyst - Dr. Arnold Manos is a renowned chemist that is obsessed with exploring the world of molecules and chemical bonds. In a fit of pique, he decided to undergo self-experimentation in order to become a…
-
I like the new Quarterlife a lot better; good use of that texture for skin. Meltdown continues to prove that fire suits can look really cool.
-
I figured you might've end up using that mummy - what made you decide on a different face than the 'metal mask' look of the public version?
-
Yeah, I changed Ratscallion's feet to the Dogz werewolf feet and they look a lot better. Still keeping the rat head though :tongue: I do admit I never considered using the wolf head for a rat, so good find.
-
Updated last post with two new versions of the final two alts. Coming soon, possibly: nemeses, alternate costumes
-
Thanks bluhman! I knew saving up for that aura would work out. The Mindsmith - Formerly a member of the villainous group of psychics known as PSI, Kenneth Milton was lured into their Baltimore branch with promises of a means to put his power into practice for the greater good, and for a while, he believed their lies. He…
-
Three this time. Smokeout - An unfortunate accident involving an explosion at a storage and disposal facility for hazardous serums and mad scientist leftovers resulted in janitor Gary Rickard's entire physical body transforming into thick smoke - with his consciousness still intact. With his entire life destroyed, he had…
-
Cellulose - The result of illegal chemical dumping mixing with discarded plant matter of various species, Cellulose awoke one day to discover that A) he was now a thinking, rational being and B) he had a body. Now while most plants-turned-intelligent-life would suffer a breakdown at such revelations, Cellulose opted to try…
-
Good thread. I believe little details like these enhance RP, and can lead to small dramatic moments in of themselves. Sure, they aren't required, but if you've been at the RP game a bit, sometimes you look for ways to add a few touches here and there to develop your writing, at least for me. Like the thing about the…
-
I really love this mech, particularly the head, the limb proportions and the colors. Good work!
-
You seem to have a good head for power armors. Maybe I could stand to give El Vaquero some more parts.
-
Shieldmaiden is great, something about those glow tights. I also enjoy those three updated looks, you really manage to nail it with color schemes and classic superhero looks.
-
Hambush has gotta be my favorite with the overall way the head turned out with the gas mask. Officer Casteel comes up next (blue's my favorite color, ha) followed by Ssyth for that Aztec-like outfit. Well done stuff!
-
Twinblade - A television star in New Delhi, Dipaka Mahadeo also happens to be the inheritor of a set of katar that grants the wielder invisibility powers and heightened senses; his family have always used them in sworn service to their nation. Though properly trained (he does all his own stunts) and a kind, if bombastic,…
-
Danse Macabre - Before his death, Dan Ridgewell was a masked hero during the 20's and 30's called 'The Vigil'. He held a respectable day job as a police officer, keeping his nightly activities a secret. Unfortunately, he tended to take risks, and got killed by his enemies for it. That would have been that, except he…
-
Shadow Play, now with a bit more color and new gloves/boots. Also eye shadow for a finishing touch.
-
I never realized that, but it fits so perfectly. The Marionette - It's unknown when exactly this half-formed, beat-up life size puppet started walking around, but some say it harbors the brain of a deranged toymaker who became trapped in his doll 'wife' after a horrible accident; others says it's possessed by the ghost of…
-
Removed mandibles from Web Crawler. I think he still looks good without 'em. Earlier I had a character named 'Cerebrawl' that I now have split into two: Cerebrawl - Monica Valducci was a bit of a wild child, and the development of telekinetic powers didn't help much. Always getting into fights for the thrill of it, she…
-
Haha, if I can get him to 25 I'll definitely make a Public Spiri homage. I'm hoping on that release too; cross your fingers. Thanks bluhman! I wouldn't have gotten the idea if not for a generous player from Costume Central (his name escapes me). I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, though, could you elaborate?
-
Web Crawler - Web Crawler comes from a species evolved from brown spiders, though they retained their ability to spin silk; this is used to make armor and clothing for themselves along with usual dyes. Web Crawler was born with unusual strength for his people, which earned him a living as a strongman or in construction.…
-
Clobberstone - This former watcher of a cathedral in England was tasked with defending it by his creators long ago, which Clobberstone did with great enthusiasm. But recently, wanderlust has finally gotten to him, and he took off from his post to explore the world and meet new people. Occasionally, smashing heads with a…

Shadow Play - Judy Han always enjoyed playing with her imaginary friends - said friends happened to be shadows she could manipulate into various creatures. When her parents found out, they tried to giver her an outlet for these powers, enrolling her in an academy for those with powers. She found her interest in East Asian…
-
After a hiatus I am back on a character creation spree. Expect more new characters to come.
-
Wow, nice job with Doctor Molotov! I like that the yakuza tattoo skin pattern looks like burn marks on the skin. The green color is pleasing too - surprised it's in the yellow column. What's the head part above the goggles and the belt?
-
Lobotomatron - No one knows how old the Lobotomatron is, or where she comes from. This elderly woman wielding considerable psychic power goes to any length to remain under the radar, while she preys on the young to harvest their mental energy for herself - in particular, mental anguish from trauma and pain. Dr. Smolder…
-
Thanks for the compliments! Some redesigns of the above characters will be coming soon.
-
Fulminis III - The third in a line of electric-powered champions, Fulminis comes from the wealthy elite of American society in the Northeast, but chose to make his own path through technology and an appreciation for the arts. He was chosen by mysterious entities from the realm of Babylon to channel their electricity…
-
I've been interested in using shadow form with certain costume colors myself, but it's still a WIP just to get an actual look right. I like the skirt part melding with Ghost Dude's jacket at least. I'm also interested in this regen-berserker build, you still having trouble with the damage?
-
Fulminis III http://i.imgur.com/US136nc.png My next idea was for a hero based on the art deco pattern found on several armor pieces by default (rather than the lifetime subscriber stuff). I reworked this fancy superhero a number of times before deciding to limit the armor pieces and instead pair them with ordinary tights…
-
ONE MORRRE THING. I find my toughest character type to design is a magic/mystic hero. If I want to make a mystical hero for the modern era, that visually still says 'magic user' (and not just ordinary clothing) what parts and colors might I look to start with for inspiration?
-
Oh, glad to see this finally got stickied. This guide has made me spend quite a bit of time at the costuime creator! I had a few questions regarding some points in the guide. First, would you consider a creature (worm, brain) that uses a robotic suit with a bubble helmet under 'emphasizing'? Would your character Think Tank…
