Logged him in for four and a half minutes to help Nikodemos kick the hell out of Nosferatu, then left.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Hyperthermian<\/b><br \/>\n(Level: 48 ((NEW!)))<br \/>\nPlayed Hype a little bit this week and dinged 48.  Beat up some Arch-Villains and picked on Seventy-Six. Fun times.  Still one of my favorite toons to play, and characters to roleplay.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Strategist<\/b><br \/>\n(Level: 33)<br \/>\nNo roleplay for him this week, except for general IC-ness during a run of the Katie Hannon task force.<br \/>\nGameplay-wise: Still working GREAT &#8212; no faceplants during the TF, and he dished out some INSANE damage on the TF and got some xp, so that&#8217;s fun.  There&#8217;s a very complicated fight at the start of the Task Force that we pulled of damn near perfectly, so that was fun.<br \/>\n<b>Update:<\/b><br \/>\nForgot to mention that someone made up the MA\/Ninja Stalker &#8220;The Tactician&#8221; as one of Strategist&#8217;s &#8220;students gone BAD&#8221;.  Much fun.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Epitaph<\/b><br \/>\n(level: <s>28<\/s>, 29 ((NEW!)))<br \/>\nJohn&#8217;s had&#8230; a lot of stuff going on. Damn.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s very very &#8216;with&#8217; Ren (Hekuba) now, and the whole Working Girl story took an AWESOME twist this last week that I absolutely LOVE.<br \/>\nHe found out that Pearl was his wife in his old life, and they had themselves a talk about that that&#8230; well, it was great, but it also showed that they really weren&#8217;t happy in the old days.<br \/>\nThe one thing really rubbing John wrong about that is that he can&#8217;t abide that Pearl thinks so poorly of him&#8230; not so much for where he is now, but for who is was then. That bugs him.<br \/>\n<i>In other news:<\/i><br \/>\n* Raene (the real Raene) flipped out and ran to the Rogue Isles, and her Doppelganger is actually &#8230; well, staying good?  It hasn&#8217;t developed all the way, yet, but I LIKE it. Very cool story.<br \/>\n<u>Gameplay notes:<\/u> Dinged to 28 AND 29 yesterday, picked up &#8230; whatever they call the &#8220;fireball&#8221; power at 28, so I can hit everyone near me and get everyone attacking him&#8230; dunno if I like the power itself too much, but it does the job I want it to do&#8230; might drop it later. I almost think that getting the low-level, high-speed, low-damage, low-end-cost ranged attack that I skipped at level 1 might be better, just so he always has something to throw, even when he&#8217;s tired out.  It&#8217;s tempting, both because it&#8217;s fast and ranged &#8212; I&#8217;m always getting immobilized, and being able to reach the bad guys with SOMETHING is really useful.<br \/>\nRan the Terra Volta Trial with him, and the Citadel Task Force with him, AND finished up the level 25-30 Kheldian story arc, AND finished the Striga Isle story arc (which means he can do the Hess Task Force now).  Lots of play on him.  Good stuff.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Gilly<\/b><br \/>\n(level: 19)<br \/>\nNada. Good build. Fun character. Never play her.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Kethos<\/b><br \/>\n(Level: 21)<br \/>\nHaven&#8217;t played him this week.  Damn. Shame.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Pummelcite<\/b><br \/>\n(Level: 16 ((New)))<br \/>\nLukacs discovered where Sam Wincott&#8217;s being held in the Hollows, did a lot of reseach on it, and assembled a crack team of Storm Knights to rescue him before the Circle of Thorns opens the portal within the Cavern of <s>Pain<\/s> Transcendance.<br \/>\nUtterly destroyed that Trial. 23 minutes from start to finish. Owned.<br \/>\n<u>Gameplay notes:<\/u><br \/>\nVery happy to have made the sacrifices I did with Pummelcite&#8217;s build.  He has no movement powers, but he could tank the damage for an eight person team, and handle the incoming smash\/lethal and fire damage to the extent that he needed to.  I&#8217;m pleased.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Shade Dancer<\/b><br \/>\n(Level: 14)<br \/>\nNo recent gameplay or roleplay.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Barret<\/b><br \/>\n(Level: 13)<br \/>\nDidn&#8217;t play him this week.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b><s>Markov Chain<\/s> Countersign<\/b><br \/>\n(Level 13 (New))<br \/>\nRedid Counter&#8217;s face a bit and I&#8217;m MUCH happier with how he looks. Finally got through the Beautiful Dead mission, so he&#8217;s moving along (At a snail&#8217;s pace, but moving), and trying to catch up with some special people. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Thadeus Shiver (Ice\/Ice Dominator)<\/b><br \/>\n(Level 6 (New))<br \/>\n<i>Wind and Cold slow<br \/>\nheartbeats.<br \/>\nSnow and Ice know<br \/>\ndeath.<br \/>\nSun and Moon shine<br \/>\nsilver.<br \/>\nNot all elves make<br \/>\ntoys.<\/i><br \/>\nI love this character concept.<br \/>\nStill having trouble finding an Archetype I like playing him with.  I actually liked him better as an Ice\/Storm Controller Hero, but look at that poem &#8212; he&#8217;s a BAD GUY.<br \/>\nSo&#8230; ice\/ice dominator&#8230; but damn. Dominators are SQUISHY. SO SQUISHY.<br \/>\nNeed some minions. I need some people to hide behind.<br \/>\n(( \ud83d\ude42 ))<br \/>\nI need to hang with that Necromancy mastermind he rolled with this weekend. Really. Fun. Time.<br \/>\n((Yeah, died alot, but NO DEBT TIL LEVEL 10!
