Howdy guys, post your creations and characters here. I'm currently playing with The Rogue and Ulysses, with occasional forays as Man 'O War. However, I've also created a few other characters for fun, while finding still others to be nearly impossible to accurately represent.
The Rogue:

(rough draft of his FS uniform)
Ulysses:

I'd like feedback on his design, since I'm not entirely sure about it.
Grey Rider:

My attempt at a ghostly Confederate hero. I'm not really happy with him.
Mentor:

Man 'O War:

My failed attempt at Microwave:

I'd love to see if someone could do a better job than I could.
Aquaman:
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2338/aquamanco.th.jpg) (http://img5.imageshack.us/i/aquamanco.jpg/)
Of course. Did I take longer than you expected to do this?
And my newest hero, Mermidon, after the Myrmidons, legendary Greek warriors:
(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4249/picture1sw.th.jpg) (http://img233.imageshack.us/i/picture1sw.jpg/)
He's the aquatic character I've been trying to make since I got the game, but I just wasn't able to come up with what I wanted. I finally looked up some old comics that had some of Jack Kirby's Atlantians in them, and that gave me what I needed to get the creative juices flowing.
Sweet characters BG!
Love the Mermidion and The Rogue turned out spectacularly.
I'm going to be making detourne_me into a character but i'm wondering just what i should do with her... Thinking about using the sketch Dr. Mike did as a basis for the costume.
Although Caravaggio's original skin for my Av fits in quite well with the FS super group style :)
Could you guys help me out with building the character though?
I did a custom framework for Timejump Tesla, and i've been getting wiped out pretty easily, especially in the PVP.
Should I pick a prebuilt mentalist, or mix mentalist and martial artist skill sets? I'm not too sure about levelling up easily with mixed sets.

I haven't been having any trouble leveling up with custom frameworks- but, then, I haven't been doing any PvP. My Supernatural-Sorcery-Dark hybrid, at level 11, just soloed SiniSister- had an easier time defeating Talisman than my pure Gadgeteer did at 12th level... It'll help if/when they bring back the Innate Talents that were intended for Custom Framework characters, which they removed during Open Beta due to issues involving respecs.
Thanks DM! I'm afraid I don't have enough experience with the different character types to be of much help yet. I have found my custom might/electrical MoW to be easier than my straight up archer, Ulysses. I haven't done ANY PvP yet, though. I do really wish they would let us assign points wherever we want in our stats. I don't like having to choose "Hero" when all I really want is my points split evenly between strength, constitution, endurance, and recovery.

That's what I was talking about. Originally, while they didn't allow complete stat customization, they had a bunch of less specialized stat arrangements, other than Hero, with four high stats and four low stats each. When they added the ability to respec your starting stats, for some reason they couldn't use those starting stat arrangements, so they removed them. I'm hoping they'll add them back, sooner rather than later.
Ohh, I see. Yeah, they really need to add them back, because it pretty much hamstrings you if you want to mix ranged powers and might.
Yes, those were quite useful. And I thought it was appropriate to have those if you didn't pick a custom framework, and have the more specialized if you did.
Anyhow, here's my characters (for now)
Unko Man, of course:
(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4020/screenshot2009090813134.th.jpg) (http://img401.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813134.jpg/)
The Corpse (http://jowsome.deviantart.com/art/Weird-World-Card-Corpse-107005976), who some of you may know:
(http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4020/screenshot2009090813134.th.jpg) (http://img171.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813134.jpg/)
Nom de Guerre:
(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/4020/screenshot2009090813134.th.jpg) (http://img2.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813134.jpg/)
Robot Johnson, whom I saw in a dream many years ago:
(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4060/screenshot2009090813135.th.jpg) (http://img401.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813135.jpg/)
Danger (http://sjhftac.comicgenesis.com/freedom/danger.html), updated from my old webcomic (http://jwalkin.comicgenesis.com/d/20050202.html):
(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/2905/screenshot2009090813140.th.jpg) (http://img2.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813140.jpg/)
Agent 23 (http://jowsome.deviantart.com/art/Weird-World-Card-Agent-23-107006384):
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2961/screenshot2009090813142.th.jpg) (http://img198.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813142.jpg/)
And finally, my version of Tombstone:
(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2961/screenshot2009090813142.th.jpg) (http://img401.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009090813142.jpg/)
This could be why my highest character is 11. Heck, I've even deleted and rerolled some a couple times. Who knows how long these will all last. Thanks gosh I got sixteen character slots.
Sea-Lad (http://jowsome.deviantart.com/art/Sea-Lad-Champions-Online-134986226) is no longer with me until I have a choice to make a knife fighter right from the start.
Some nice designs, Unko! I've always liked the classic simplicity of your avatar's design. He looks very superheroic. I'm not so crazy about the Corpse, though. He's a bit too pink and garish. Other than his colors, though, he looks pretty cool, kind of like an undead Creeper. I LOVE Nom de Guerre. I already told you that was a great name, but you've also got a really nice design there. It isn't overly tech-y, but there are enough tech elements to make it a bit interesting. Very nice color scheme too. I'm a sucker for the pulp-ish robot in a trenchcoat thing. Ha, so I like Robert Johnson. Danger, now Danger is a bit of an odd duck. I like the basic design you've got, but I think it may be a bit too busy, what with the spines and such. I like the more streamlined look from your webcomic better. Of course, I've already told you how awesome your Tombstone is. That's the best of the FF characters I've seen.
There's just so many things you can add to a character, I feel bad for doing streamlined designs. Almost as if I am doing the creator a disservice. Thus the added canisters on the gloves of Unko, and the junk on Danger. I actually dig the shoulder spikes on him, but admit the other stuff is overboard. It still fits his character really well though. Going overboard and trying to be too flashy is totally him. Same with the Corpse, especially since his costume came from a bohemian theatre company. And yes, he was totally based on the Creeper and Deadman.
Nom is totally based on tokusatsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokusatsu) stuff, so look it up if you don't know it. You might like some of their crazy designs. And I would love to get a team of them together.
And here's a few of mine....

I want to do a few mainstream characters to see if i can.
and i need to design my av.
Really like the guy with rivets Cas.
and Unko, kick butt designs all around. You're avatar came though well.
I'd like to see how the Corpse looks standing up. I tried to make a rockabilly zombie for a few minutes last night, but had to go out for dinner.

Wow! I'm really impressed with how detourne_me came out! I didn't know you could do asymmetrical costumes in CO and it's really wild how close you were able to get to your avatar design.
Some great characters here, guys! UB, I've already told you that I liked Britanniac, but I also really like Firefall. He's pretty cool. He's got a rather crazy look that works with being a fire wielder.
DM, good work on your avatar. That's definitely a nice job on the asymetrical gloves and boots. I really like Tesla though. It's a real shame they don't have better options for jackets, though. He'd look even better if he had a 3D coat. Lord Congo is cool too...but then, who doesn't like a superheroic monkey!
I've got another one for y'all. Guess who!
(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1868/kingzero.th.jpg) (http://img185.imageshack.us/i/kingzero.jpg/)
(I may need to darken the blue of his uniform some.)
I dig a ton of these guys. I like that Britannic is your take on a classic super hero, Syn. He's got bright colours and a mostly classic design but the face mask still says dark. Syn himself is cool as heck.
I really like your ancient warrior types, Cas, though I think you ought to play with the face settings more. The winged guy and special ops suit guy look pretty much the same. (They also have the same haircut, but there aren't many good options.) Anyhow, they are cool. I wonder how Black Cassanova will turn out.
Also... C6, if you see this, feel free to roll yourself a Tombstone. I won't be using mine I have decided. I've already got a dark character and found a hilarious old character of mine to use for a munitions guy. I just don't really want to play Tombstone. Sorry, Bent. I might make another FF guy, actually. I'll keep that a secret though.
Oh, and my new guy? He's from a weird old comic experiment I used to take part in. Comicollage (http://comicollage.comicgenesis.com/).
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2359/screenshot2009091005094.th.jpg) (http://img32.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2009091005094.jpg/)
He's a Quebecois midget with a penchant for extreme violence and sexy times. It's an incredibly simple costume, but the real life is given from the body structure. I just wish I could make the nose bigger and the stomach fatter. Still, it's a fairly decent interpretation, within the game's design.

I played a armored suit guy in closed beta, and a munitioins guy in open beta, and since they both were wiped out I've been reluctant to build them again. They were both around level 20-25. I think maybe I should do it again. I'm actually sort of sad they went away.

Wow, C6, you've got some really nice looks there. I really love the different costumes for Deadbang...I always thought it was cool when Bats had his special arctic gear, or what have you. Now I want to make alternate versions of some of my costumes....
Red Sovereign is cool, but I definitely like the CO costume best.
I've already told you how much I like Hardpoint. He looks pretty awesome, like a secret agent with superheroic elements rather than a straight up superhero. Would this second costume be the Golden Age version? ;)
I LOVE that Nighthood. I've been trying and failing to design a traditional looking superhero, cape and tights with a Batman?Red Robin vibe...but I haven't been able to come up with anything that looks original enough. You've manage to hit a really solid design with this guy, though. Really nice color scheme and choice of patterns. I'm jealous!
Spartanic is just plain awesome. I love that guy's look, classic with elements that make him unique like the helmet and gloves/boots.
I've been trying to design a winged character that wasn't just a straight rip-off of either Hawkman or Angel, but I think I've finally hit something decent today. I'd love some critiques, if anyone cares to share their opinions. I give you, Air Ace:
SEE BELOW
I tried to give him a classic superhero, tights kind of look, while bringing in Pulp elements. He's a gadgeteer, and I'm trying to think of a twist to give him as he progresses.
Yeti is awesome, it's tempting to steal the design for a wendigo, lol
Air Ace looks really cool benton. I think you nailed what you were going for. :cool:

Thanks to Court for the suggestions of the white gloves and boots for The Rogue.
They all look pretty good but, Unfluffy's Firefall is an amazing costume & color scheme :blink:
Nice ones there Benton. Love those characters Court :thumbup:...especially that guy "Hardpoint"...the second design looks strangely familliar. :rolleyes: :P

That asymmetrical design for Detourne is great! Why cant CoH do that, moan moan.. :)
King Zero is looking excellent there, and I love that Flash Gordon Hawkman guy with the quizzical expression by BlkCasanova. With a hairy chest too! Hail Spartacus!
Looking at these pictures, I've got to say im impressed with the costume creator so far. May have to get this...

Spartanic in a period style costume. I wanted something like Hercules and Ares.
I would have attached a dark red cape with gold greek pattern trim...but sadly we
can't add capes when you use a chest harnesses and the like. Hopefully they will fix that down the road.

Canadian Shield - sorry for taking your name C6, I just wanted to see what the force powers were... I'll probably revamp this guy into more of a Captain Canuck ripoff with might and forcefields.

I really like Acuman. That's a good classic super hero / cyborg look.
I was trying to do a Vision inspired character, who was a ghost/alien/robot, but just couldn't get a good look down. Then a friend told me why not go all white? So I did.

I don't know if he'll last as a character, unless somebody wants to start up an Avengers homage team.
I did another fun character of mine, Sea Lad. I've had his CO costume designed for a while, but I figured I'd just make him. Still waiting for a knife replacer on single blade though.

Then, an even older character who never had a super hero name. I just called her Mystery Girl for now, but I don't know if I like that name. Really, she's Elizabeth Hitashi. A teenaged cat burglar, turned super hero, she fell into the secret agent gig when she grew into adulthood.

I started out with her winter gear. I'll do a standard look when I get it. (I should be in Canada most of the time before that anyhow.)
And, so I could see how well fire would work as radiation, The Atomic Beatnik. A highly Ditko inspired character.

But, The Corpse is turning out to be my main. He's quite good at soloing, if I remember to block at the right times. I don't mind that all my missions are usually a couple levels higher than me. With Unko or Danger I usually end up dying, but the Corpse... Well, I guess you can't kill what's already dead. How many costume slots can a character get, by the way?

I've been toying with really solid colours lately. There's something about this was of a single colour I really like.
Very Creeper-esque, Unko!
4.
One at creation,
one at 15
one at 30 and
one for your Supergroup.
I may be incorrect though,its happened before. :D
nope, you're right, 15,30 + for the first time you join a SG

I think Stan would be proud of that last one. I don't have many slots left from my starting sixteen, I have plans for a few more offspring of ol' Adam Atomic. I figure the guy has been around since Hiroshima, he's had time to plant some oats, and each child has a different manifestation of his abilities.
Ahh, there are a lot of awesome new heroes I need to comment on! I'll have to do that tomorrow, but in the meantime, here is my new character, who C6 helped me get a visual handle on:

I made the Freedom Society one before I saw one great concept from Unkoman. Maybe I'll change out the Royal costume for a variation of his concept.

Okay, I suppose it's about time I started showing off some of my characters... I'll start with my three 20+ characters, all of whom are currently members of the Freedom Society, and each of whom now has five costumes, including one FS uniform. However, since I'll be posting all five costumes for each, and providing some background for each character (which I tend to think add something to the costumes, in a way), I'm going to devote a single post to each of the three, starting with... the Verdant Vowel!
The Vowel is a difficult character to recreate in a game of this sort (in terms of his abilities, not his costume, which is very easy), and I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how well I've been able to replicate him, and how well he plays (for now, at least). Yes, he's my single most challenging character to play, but that perfectly fits the character, and, so far, he's quite playable- I just have to use my head somewhat more while playing him than I do for my other characters- which is exactly the way it should be.
The Verdant Vowel is, in actuality, a usually-unemployed actor, who originally developed the character in an attempt to break into PBS children's television. Before he could get to his audition, he found himself having to use the costume and identity to prevent a crime, to save some people, bluffing his way through and convincing the criminals that he was a real superhero, full of "vowelish might". Realizing that he could help people more as a mysterious super-hero than as a character on TV, he continued to use the identity in this way, training himself to... well, not exactly the peak of human perfection, but he's in pretty good shape, and has taught himself some fighting, athletic, and acrobatic skills, at least to an above-average extent. He uses these skills, plus his wits, survival instincts, acting and performance abilities, shear force of will, knowledge of literature, and dumb luck, while portraying the character he's developed for the role, an exaggerated, verbose, overconfident hero-type whose dialogue tends to sound like it was written for a '70s comic by a bad Roy Thomas imitator. Much of the time, he either bluffs his way through, letting his enemies think he's a real super hero, or his apparent personality causes his foes to think he's an incompetent fool, leading them to underestimate him, Unfortunately, sometimes he gets a little to into his role...
In CO, I made the Vowel arse a combination Might (for the punches)/ Unarmed Martial Arts character, with the occasional other ability (I gave him Ego Placate from Telepathy, to simulate enemies underestimating him). Since I decided to stick to the concept, his super abilities are Ego and Presence, and the skills I gave him were all based more on the skill names than on the actual attributes involved- he has Agile, Lasting Impression, Jack of All Trades, Academics, Impresario, Showmanship, and Acrobatics. I've spent a lot of his points on advantages, rather than power ranks- he's not supposed to be super good at anything, but he's got a lot of clever tricks up his sleeve. The only ability he has ranked to three is Lightning Reflexes, because I figured that the combination of his being basically agile and his dumb luck would effectively give him that. Oh, yeah, and his travel power is Acrobatics, and I actually purchased the power advantage for that...
Anyway, somehow, it all works. every now and then, I start having a lot of trouble getting him through missions, and I start thinking that maybe I've reached the limits of how far I can take him as a viable character- but it never lasts. And, even without engaging in the role-playing aspect- I've mostly been soloing him, anyway- he's just so much fun to play. His exploits are always edge-of-the-seat, think-fast adventures, and a surprising amount of the time, they work out very much like a Verdant Vowel story.
Anyway, here are the pics. The first is his standard costume, created originally by MJB, and altered slightly by several other people since then;
(http://mysite.verizon.net/alaric7/VerdantVowelC1.jpg)
The next three are based on alternate costumes or versions, designed by various other people- really happy with the way the first and last came out, especially;

(http://mysite.verizon.net/alaric7/VerdantVowelC3.jpg)
(http://mysite.verizon.net/alaric7/VerdantVowelC4.jpg)
Finally, since I had the extra slot, I did a Freedom Society team uniform for him. Since he is, after all, the Verdant Vowel, the color green and the letter A had to be prominently involved, so I basically gave him the super group uniform, changed the dark blue to equally-dark green and the yellow to egally-light green, replaced the winged symbol on his chest with his usual "A", put the wings in the belt buckle instead, and gave him a star-themed cape (not very visible in the picture), which was as close as I could get to including the sybol on the belt of the standard uniform. I gave him a slightly different mask from any of his other costumes, just becasue it looked better with the outfit. It was only what I was clipping the screenshot that I noticed that the outfit looks kind of like a Green Lantern outfit...
(http://mysite.verizon.net/alaric7/VerdantVowelCFS.jpg)
Anyway, that's it for now. Next up will be Brain Boy, who was actually my first FS member.
Your homemade hero is such a great concept Alaric!
but...get this... an even better concept for those with extra costume slots....
LIEFIELD STYLE!
(http://api.photoshop.com/home_14c35637abd04016b711c56f68d55651/adobe-px-thumbnails/cdc00fc353554b5ea0ee336dc6a7f109/fullsize.jpg)
Oh, and you can thank Unkoman for this travesty, i mean great idea.
p.s. it's kind of Bruce Timm style too in a way
I like the Alaric costume 4th from the top. It looks like a golden age costuem.
I love the Butterfuly Ninja Liefeld guy. Too funny.
I also created a FR costume with my extra costume slot. I also did a "Final Mister Green" to reflect his journey's through the game world.
It turns out that deep inside my sould lies the creativty of Rob Liefeld. I decided to make a costume for Mister Green that reflected his diverse power sets, his high level (he's experienced), and his non-traditional super-hero status. I gave him some chainmail, thinking it would look somewhat like Captain America, and it seemed practical. Then, I gave his some hi-tech chest armor since he took the Invulnerability power. Well, I liked the looks of the set with pouches around the waist, so I justified that by thinking he carried all his items in those pouches. Then, he has some sort of gear around his hips with grenades and eve more pouches. Well, he is a practical guy, so that made sense at the time. Then, I have him some small shoulder pads to match the chest amror, long black, leather gloves and combat boots, and tossed on his signature green bowler. Oh, and he had some type of thigh armor, and vials wrapped around his upper arms.
Proud of my new design I began adventuring in the jungles of Monster Island. After swinging around for a few minutes I realized what a terrible design this was and quickly turned it off. As a big fan of the Silver Age I can't believe I made Mister Padded-Pouch-PoneyTail Man. :(
Ah! A ponytail! thats what I forget, also I need to give him face padding too... like shaterstar.
Have to start preping for work, but here are some screens of the recently updated Tomato and his alternate Freedom Society uniform

That's pretty cool. :thumbup: Too bad you can't put the emblem on the chest.
Awesome... Very awesome.
I am not even threatened by the fact that I recently made a red pumpkin head / green interior having guy. (That sentence makes sense, really.)
Few more of mine(this is probably it until I get my main up to at least 15 >.<):
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3981/chnybe.jpg)
Ch'nybe, my Black Magician character. I gave him Teleport Travel and Shadow Magics, and so far he's been a blast. Probably the most fun out of my characters.
(http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/9717/kidrocket.jpg)
Kid Rocket, my "sidekick" character... not really sure I like how I made him, so I'll probably retcon him soon and give him different abilities.
Wow, your characters manage to look a ton like your own meshes. Sweet job.
PS: Kid Rocket should join Young Freedom. PPS: We really need to set that group up soon. Hopefully we can get people together next week.
(http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1240/mahty.jpg)
Hot off the Character Creator, my newest character, Mahty. She has mostly close-range powers (claws, bite, that sort of thing). I'm playing in the desert now, and I find the fact that I'm basically biting off zombie faces hilarious.
Edit: Went ahead and finished off the last Member of Influx, here's Marauder
(http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1008/marauder.jpg)
To be honest, Marauder is the one character in the whole team I've never quite gotten a handle on... the other four characters have basically coalesced into their current personalities and designs, but Marauder seems to keep changing.
Just in time for December...
Enter: The Walking Snowman!

Origin: you might remember him from Liberty Inc, one of the skin/hex'es I'm really proud of.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/Lugaru/CHAMPIONS%20ONLINE/screenshot_2010-01-26-07-49-06.jpg)
American Pride

Origin: Let go from the army due to Dont Ask, Dont Tell, he finds a second life after volunteering for an experiment and joining a private contractor.
Hey, it's Goo! Awesome Lu, we've definitely got to get some LB characters together. :D I like the concept for the Vocalist, but his upper half could use....something else. I know, I'm very helpful. :P
Great stuff man...I have to respectfully agree with my man BG about the Vocalist...maybe no shirt...maybe leather vest with body hair and longer boots. :P

Ohh! A leather vest, that could work. I suggested leather jacket, but the vest might be even better.
I'm impressed that you actually managed to capture Goo. I figured he'd be pretty hard to translate, but he was instantly recognizable. I wish that more of us played this game. I'd love to put together a Liberty Inc. super group.
I will play around with his Torso. He is a clone of a city of heroes character that I made who I also translated to Freedom Force at some point

I really want to do Jester from Liberty Bay but I could not find a good jester hat, apparently there was one as part of an event so hopefully an OG can recreate her. I might do Ironhyde next, another one of my skin/hexxes from liberty bay.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/Lugaru/ironheart.jpg)
Hmm, the short sleeve shirt might actually be better too. I thought about doing Jester too, but just haven't got around to it. Iron Hide I did try, but I had a hard time creating a metal-looking guy that was anything close. Maybe you'll be able to figure it out better than I did.

Powers: Half Swamp Thing, half She-Hulk. Thorns, Regneration, Vines, Control Animals.
Well... I went and started a MicroCosm character. It'd be great except nobody's online when I am!
I'll post screenshots later, though. And lug, if you didn't do an Ironhide yet, I'll probably try a take on him.
Ahah, I must show off my "Alt 8's" - all of them are 8th level, having done the crisis and little else. :D

Top row, left to right:
Bum Rush - a homeless tinkerer who stumbled across shoes that grant him super-speed. He's also quite handy with duct tape and a wrench!
Wight Knight - What happpens if a Helm of Opposite Alignment is slammed on the head of a Death Knight at the moment of his creation? Well, the Wight Knight, of course!
Das Ant - A mutant ant, born with the intellect of a human supergenius, decided to use his brilliance to make himself grow to colossal size, and take over the world! Too bad that, despite being thousands of times larger than a normal red ant, he's still only about 4' tall. Shrugging, he decided to be a superhero, instead.
Bottom row, left to right:
Brzzzt Ro'Burden - A prototype robot designed for a fantasy version of that robot cowboy thingy in Burning Sands, he had a programming glitch to cause him to believe he IS a Dark Elf - one that was NOT evil, but a lone champion for good and angst.
Capoeiria Caprybara - Even rodents of unusual size can master the martial arts if they try hard enough!
O'Shaughnessy - Just something thrown together for this week, but he's surprised me with how tough he is.
I love Bum Rush and his magic shoes. I wish I would have thought of that.
Wight Knight is awesome!!!! :thumbup: Excellent job mate.
I entered a costume contest on Boneyard that Wight Knight was also in, and Wight Knight got ROBBED!!!
Also, I need to update my characters in this thread sometime. I've changed Clint McBride's main costume some, for one thing, and haven't posted most of my characters.
Heh, Das Ant is the one that won a costume contest, and in the proccess got enough XP from the wealth perks to level - looking for all the world like he levelled FOR winning the contest. And funniest bit is that, earlier that contest, someone said we should get XP for costume contests. :D
I posted some of my characters a page or two back (and I've changed Clint McBride's costume a bit since then, but am not going to bother changing the pic; the main changes are that he has sunglasses instead of the Blaster eyepiece and has an Uzi on his left leg). Here are some of the others:
Some characters don't have origins or backstories yet, so I'm posting those that do first.
Blue Zombie - Darkness/Might/Single Blade w/ Invulnerability from Power Armor; travel power is Superspeed. Jason Carver fell into a vat of radioactive blueberry juice while watching an Akira Kurosawa film festival and emerged two hours later with superhuman powers. (He doesn't have to eat or breathe but is NOT actually undead) I was in a goofy mood when I came up with his origin, but decided to keep it.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/BlueZombie.jpg)
Commander Arkinus - Ice/Electric with Toxic Nanites from Gadgeteering. Has Fire Flight recolored to look like an Ice aura because I don't like Ice Slide due to its lack of hovering on its own. Commander Arkinus is a military commander (On his world `Commander' rank is equivalent to a 1-star General on Earth) on his home planet Aquanus which is 96% water. He came to Earth in pursuit of a criminal who used a sonic weapon to destroy one of the planet's major cities.
The only other Gadgeteering powers I plan on giving him are Bionic Shielding and Orbital Cannon, with it being a beam fired from his spaceship in orbit. Was originally pure Ice, but I respecced and made him Ice/Electric because he needed more punch.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/CommanderArkinus.jpg)
Boneyard - Supernatural/Both Psi powersets/Munitions (only Assault Rifle so far). Recently respecced him and changed his travel power from Earth Flight to Flight. Duncan McBain, aka Nash Sands, was the most successful hitman in Millenium City....until he was betrayed by the Purple Gang and shot in the back. However, for some reason, he didn't die. A voice spoke to him and made him realize he was on the wrong side of the law, and he revived neither alive or dead, becoming the anti-hero Boneyard. (Boneyard generally tries to take criminals prisoner, but shoots to kill when he's fighting the Purple Gang)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/Boneyard.jpg)
Doctor March - Might. Uses Jet Boots to fly. Dr. April March, one of the world's top surgeons, drank a glass of tea without realizing it contained a piece of a meteorite and gained superhuman powers. However, she decided against putting on a mask and doesn't particularly care if people knows she's a crimefighter.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/DoctorMarch.jpg)
Still to come: Frostforce, Nightarrow, Silverwolf and Thing That Should Not Be.
Boneyard looks really, cool. Wish I took the halloween set when I had Cryptic points, u can do some nice stuff with it, but epic samurai is cool as well.
More toons :
Project Greenskin, the most succesfull clone of Grond in terms of strenght and ability :D escaped from his Viper captors and swore revenge. Uses might powerset of course

Hundred Acre Bear!
Without naming names... his oldest friend, a human, has been put into an insane asylum for believing in Hundred Acre Bear and his other woodland friends. Thus, the Umbling Ursine has decided to become a superhero to prove he exists, and to get his old friend out of the looney bin!
And, yes, if I DO end up playing him to 25 or so, his Oldest Friend will end up having snapped in said bin, and will become his Nemesis. And each time he gets a NEW Nemesis, it'll be said Oldest Friend with an upgrade. :P
Alright, so, I made him a while ago and have been meaning to show him off.

I actually think it's an improvement to his original design (http://sjhftac.comicgenesis.com/freedom/microcosm.html).
Saw it ingame, love it!
Project Greenskin has been changed thanks to my bro who killed 5k irradiates to get the grondling head. Much better now

No to either one. I had to get... creative... to make the pig form of Barnyard Brawler.

I actually like the original design better, Unko, but then I have a real softspot for all of your old LB designs! I think you should stick with the purple gauntlets with silver accents, rather than the gold. Of course, the really difficult part is the fact that they don't have that big 'ol helmet design...which was just so awesomely recognizable. Still, he looks pretty good, and it is totally awesome to see more LB characters in game!
Cool, Bat! He's awesome looking. Sorta' scary.... :D
Ha ha, thanks Bent. Yeah, I remembered you quite enjoying them. Hey! You gotta post Blue Guardian!
I'm sticking with the gold though. I find it more striking. We'll see how alternate costumes turn out.
Speaking of alternates, I finally got around to one for Sea Lad, who I recently started using a bit again.
I figured I ought to make a costume for his father, Leviathan. A genetically engineered aquatic man and the reason Sea Lad is a super hero in the first place, though he isn't the best dad in the world.
(http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6998/screenshot2010032305331.jpg)
The legs and feet are entirely bare, so no need to show them. Old school simple looks here, folks. He is pretty much a rip on Namor.
Is anyone really surprised?
(http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp233/KrimsonGray/Champions%20Online/Kommando.jpg)
He's kommando@kommando. Easy enough to remember I think.
Sea Lad and Wild Wave should have a team up.
Posting some alternate costumes now, the standards didn`t change much, but it would look empty without them.

Sea Lad and Wild Wave should have a team up.
I don't know...Sea Lad looks Lemurian and Wild Wave is Atlantian...might be some friction there :P
That's actually Sea Lad's father. He was created by a mad Russian scientist using various human and sea life (and Lemurian in the Champions universe) DNA to make a perfect man.
Creation finds a love of humanity, becomes a super hero, has a kid, then passed on. The kid takes up super heroing in honor of his father, but really is just a twenty something slacker trying to pay the bills.
I see you guys got extra costume slots... and with good reason. Awesome creations there, guys. I've seen Dr. Darklight before. Didn't even know that was you!
I really love Dash Venture though. Perfect colour scheme. The subtle, faded tones make him look all the more pulpy!
I hope CO gets a mission architect eventually. I spend a lot of time making characters that I don't plan on playing.
I used my costume slots for winter, desert, and monster isle adventuring gear for Mister Green. Nothing worth showing. :)
One guy was showing me his character "Spider-Slayer" the other day. Each costume was one of the Sinister Six. His character was some type of robot that had the powers of the Sinister Six. I'm not sure what he did for Doc Ock though.
I bought extra costume slots, and there's no way I'm posting pics of every costume all my heroes have, but here's a few alternate outfits:
Clint McBride in street clothes (the Cybernetic Jaw piece on his normal outfit is actually face armor)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/ClintMcBrideStreetClothes.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/?action=view¤t=ClintMcBrideStreetClothes.jpg)
Boneyard as Nash Sands. Nash Sands was the identity he used when he was a professional hitman before he gained super-powers and switched sides. The Nash Sands identity is now used sort of the way Batman uses "Matches" Malone. This is NOT how Boneyard, whose real name is Duncan McBain (last name taken from crime novelist Ed McBain), really looks unmasked.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/NashSands.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/?action=view¤t=NashSands.jpg)
Commander Arkinus in street clothes.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/ArkinusStreetClothes.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/?action=view¤t=ArkinusStreetClothes.jpg)
Midnight Crusader in stealth gear. I do actually have a couple of outfits where he is unmasked, but they're basically still superhero costumes, just with sunglasses instead of a mask.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/MidnightCrusaderStealth.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v62/GhostMachine/Champions%20Online/?action=view¤t=MidnightCrusaderStealth.jpg)
This is why I hope that the next Freedom Force style game uses a city of heroes style creation system with the ability to import custom accesories, textures and animations. The amazing original (and tribute) characters you dudes post are really inspiring. And C6: you make me want to invest into extra costume slots.
On a not completely unrelated note, is there a way to make character design without bying the game?
Because i reallly have no interest in playing the game, but the character creator looks really awesome
Wasn't there an offline version of the character editor released in a publicity stunt of some kind?
Download the Demo and make characters. It might be a free weekend too... cant wait to see your characters.
all right! i didn't know there was a free week-end this week. do they do that for each update?
i might try the game after all...i wonder if there's a way to extract the 3d model after creating them, so that i could animate them with maya/max
There's also a free demo, which lugaru referred to. You can keep playing free as long as you want- you just can't get out of the tutorial, which is a huge disadvantage if you actually want to play the game, but no disadvantage at all if you just want to play with the character creator.
As for the standalone creator, yes it was released, but only functioned during the contest they were having. Once the contest was over, they simply took down the contest server.
ah, so they took down the server for the standalone...quite logicalin fact.
so i'm dowloading the demo, only five hours to go! if i managed to do any "good" design i'll post them here
Well, not really a "good" esign, but i made a quick character to test the demo
Spoiler
(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2946/camufront.jpg)
i'll let you guess his power set. The demo is rather good, but i still have a hard time with the gameplay and the inventory gestion. I really don't see myself actually playing the game, but i'll give it a few more test drive with other characters.
also, is the demo character editor as complete as the "real" stuff?
Anyone here can send u a refferal code with the full access to the game for 10 days, lvl limit is 15. If u`re interested pm me your mail and I`ll send you a code, because demo doesnt do this game justice.
Well, i'm intrigued. i just gor my travel power and i'm definitely getting more and more interested in the game itself...
If it's not a "one account only" code i'm interested (meaning: if you can send it to your friends too, and i'm not preventing you from giving it to someone you actually know), i definitely want to look around more.
I can send as much as i want actually. Check your mail :cool:

Thought I'd get in on this with my 3 current heroes:
Spoiler
(http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5962/flyingfoxheroes.jpg)
Left to Right they are
Flashpast: Martial arts w/ Superspeed
Steelskin: Might (Obviously inspired by someone)
Conductress: Electricity
Flying Fox finally fights felons!
(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/455/flyingfox.jpg)
Here are my three current characters.
First theres The Marine, Mainly power armor with a few might powers to represent the strength the armor gives and two force powers, one of them is a force shield and the other is force casade which is used as a very powerful reuplsor.
Standard Armor
(http://i66.servimg.com/u/f66/13/36/78/10/marine12.jpg)
Standard Armor no helmet

An Big Tracker. Master in self defense and brutal fighting methods and he also uses weapons ruthlessly, guns, grenades and dren. Kinda The Punisher/The Comedian/Big Daddy style.
Standard Gear

Unmasked

well, i've been foolin around in the free demo a bit, set up two accounts so i could work with four character slots at a time, when FtP goes live, i'll be investing in extra character slots for at least one of the two accounts. here's the four characters i've got so far.
Lynnaria, sorcery powerset, halfdragon from the same universe as Elcorion himself. i've wanted to do her in CoH but since the demon/dragon wings in there are a vet reward that i won't earn for a long time, i was very glad to find i could get a set right off the bat in CO.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/lordelcorion/Lynnaria.jpg)
next up is Phoenix Phyre, a fire powerset character who gained her powers in an unfortunate accident involving being fused with a Plasma reactor. she created cybernetic implants that allow her to focus and project the plasma energy coursing through her body.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/lordelcorion/pheonixphyre.jpg)
on my other account, we have tigerfury, a supernatural feral character who is a chosen warrior of the cat-goddess Bast. she's going to have big issues with the Viper villain group in game, since she sees them as being servants of Apep, the snake monster that represented pure evil in egyptian myth. all in all, i'm not actually to happy with her head, and i had to use wolf paws that just look like big bathroom slippers on her..
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/lordelcorion/tigerfury.jpg)
and last up is Bloodshadow, a single blade cyberninja charecter.. i haven't developed her backstory much yet though.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/lordelcorion/Bloodshadow.jpg)
So, I basically make characters in this game all the time. My characters start out with four costume slots now. It's great.
Today I decided to try a claw character (though he ended up being half munitions). I think I like him.
He's almost sort of my Bat-Man rip. He goes by Night Raven. Not super original, I know, but I thought Red-Billed Chough was a silly name.

Well... time to show some of my own chars.
Condor
Freeform, mainly Martial Arts + Gadgets (Ricochet Throw)
First, CoH and CO comparison
(http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/CoH/CondorAzul4.png)(http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/Champions/Characters/CondorBig611.jpg)
And then normal, armored and civilian. Really wish we had more shield costume options.

Violet Darkmoor
Freeform, mainly Dark Magic
Her normal work clothes (mystic investigator), Archmage and clubbing.

Husar de la Muerte
Freeform.Mainly munitions with a few power armor passives.
Heavily inspired on Deadshot. Her costume here is a lot better than on CoH I might add.
(http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Baronesa_1980/Champions/Characters/HusardelaMuerte.png)
Hei, ghostmachine, where can I find your Blue Zombie for download?
