“Mayda isn't playing the same game everyone else is. I may log in with the intention to do a specific thing, but I always get distracted by content I run into on the way. I spend an inordinate amount of time delivering pies and talking to chickens for no XP and spare change. ”

“I wanted to try a hunter, I wanted a character with silver hair. *shrug* I really like the hunter. A decent soloer, and the idea of a class that contributes mobility to its group should be borrowed by other games. ”

“My cooking and farming alt. Yes, I enjoy baking bread enough to make an alt specifically for that. Don't make me crush you under the tons of Blackberry Tarts I can crank out. ”

“My Brandywine Lore-Master, playing with Riders of Middle-Earth (F13.net). My Gladden kinship is rarely on these days, and the lower server population makes it essentially a solo game at the hours I play. Her name is Sindarin for "Bitter Watcher." ”

“Mercenaries and Traps power sets, Black Scorpion as Patron. I started a villain group with the intention of getting all merc masterminds - so we could have entire platoons of soldiers rampaging through the game! Alas, my own tendency to avoid others meant we never had more than three active players at once. ”

“Storm / Psi powersets. My original CoX character, a weather witch who is pretty much Tara the sweet lesbian witch in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her last name comes from Jodie Foster's character in Nell.

I loved playing Tara, but since my regular gaming group quit in early 2005, she's been completely ignored. She can't solo anything worth a damn. I haven't bothered to find a new SG, and I don't trust PUGs because People Are Broken. ”

“Claws/ Reflexes soloing alt. I played her until I realized soloing in CoV was far, far easier, and abandoned her to play Faith. She's a catgirl, named for lead character in the abominable manga/anime Tokyo Mew Mew. ”

“Empathy / Dark Blast. A concept character - a Middle Eastern street urchin who had been experimented on by the Rikti. ”

“Sort of a joke. I wanted to try a Brute because it played different from the archetypes in CoH. I also thought it would be funny to make a character who resembled one of the bondage dark elves in certain Korean MMGs. Name shamelessly cribbed from Mary Gentle's novel "Grunts" ”

“My attempt to build a research character before the research system was in. Since the final design made acquiring blueprints primarily a function of your standing with corporations - which meant grinding combat missions - the character ended up being largely unplayable. ”
