Title: A different type of costume contest that's actually very similar to Ephy's...
Post by: MikeB7 on February 02, 2008, 02:29:02 PM
I got a hankerin' to create a female dual blades/willpower or spines/willpower scrapper on Freedom.  After much thought and experiment, I came up with...nuthin'.  NUTHIN'!  So with the great response to Ephy's thread, I thought I'd open one too.  Here's the contest:

-Come up with a basic concept, name and costume for a female dual blades/wp or spines/wp scrapper.

-It doesn't have to be a very detailed backstory or anything, the most important to me is the basic feel of who a character is and the look.  It can be any era, any theme, any feel.  Those familiar with my toons know I tend to have off-kilter characters, so really, the sky's the limit.  Serious, funny, freaky or period toons - all are welcome.

-As with Ephy's, design in the character tool and post a screenshot.

-I'll pick the winner(s) Friday

-The prize will be 5 million for a toon of your choosing.  I'll have to double check where all my toons are, but I know I can fund either side Freedom, Infinity, Champion and Virtue villains.  Multiple winners will like split money or each get lots or something, depending on how much I love the character and you.  :P

Two things I should note:

-Multiple entries are allowed

-When I say I tend to have off-kilter characters, that just means I'm not ruling those kinds of entries out.  I *do* think I would prefer a normalish, even traditional looking character.  A lil hottie to call my own! 

Er...

:unsure:

Did one for DB as well. And I went the "hottie" route this time  :thumbup:

I decided to try two different looks for a female with dual blades,

One is a female elf and the other is a Xena type female warrior.

The streets of Paragon City are tough.  There is always need for a hero, a hero that can bring some sort of justice to the streets.  Any Justice.  Or perhaps...

Annie Justice!

Oooh... I like that, Komm!  I really like how the dagger shirt pattern matches up with the Justice pieces.  The yellow/gold trim not so much, but overall it's a really striking* look.

*Pun intended.

I got impatient and started early.   :P  Thanks to everyone who showed some designs, I appreciate it.

The winner is Verfall with his hottie...now MY hottie!  :wub:  I imagined her as a superspy type of character and named her Mood Indigo, after the Duke Ellington song.

Runner-up is Kommando.  I made a WP/Energy tank on Infinity and Virtue (dunno which I'll settle on), using the Feisty hairstyle (http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Issue_11#Female_Hairstyles).  It's a combo I wanted to try, and the red energy glow works with the red gloves. 

Thanks again!  Tell me to give you lots of monies and I will!
