Roger's City of Heroes Characters In Action August

by Roger Bourke White Jr., Aug 06

Introduction

Here are some action shots from my City of Heroes adventures.

 

Cyreenik

As Fermiana was super jumping around Talos Island, she spotted a rare sight: the Ghost Ship!

The Ghost Ship is key to getting a rare badge: the Ectoplasmic Badge, for killing ghosts from the Ghost Ship. The ghosts don't go down without a fight, which is what is going on here. But at Fermiana's level (35) the hard part is just finding the ghost ship in the first place. In this session she got part of what she needed for the badge, but not all.

 

Herr Pie

Here Fermiana has picked up another neat prize: a Nemisis Staff. This blows away her enemies, quite literally.

That's gotta hurt!

This council monster is going toe-to-toe with Bad Bug -- something you don't want to do if chest pains bother you.

Bad Bug is about to put the hurt on these robots. She has an area of effect spell that casts spines in all directions... and it's about to go off!

Bad Bug in a very special place for low levels: the Cavern of Transcendance. This is part of a difficult mission called a trail. She was in, and she and her group won!

 

Tall, small, smallest!

Bad Bug poses with Minx, the Skyway Trainer, and a very tall hero.

Bad Bug!!

Purple Pizzazz is facing the worst of enemies: a bug.

No, not the Bad Bug, a bad bug... a game bug. This enemy is inside a box that Purple Pizzazz is supposed to protect. However because the enemy is inside the box, Purple Pizzazz can't select the enemy, can't fight it, and can't win.

This bug was promptly reported. (Bad Bug remains at large.)

 

Cyreenik and another hero do their part in a battle -- casting spells to defeat enemies.

Fast times at FireFrost High

Sweet Summer Rayne enjoys a slide at FireFrost Hi...deout (hideout). This is a rite of passage for teenage heroes. The Firefrost mission provides lots of xp, and the neatest ice slides in the game!

Fun times at Atlas Park.

Sweet Summer Rayne takes part in a costume contest. These are spontaneous events promoted by players. The winners get whatever the player decides to offer. These are great ways to show off creativity, and help a low level player buy better equipment.

 

Oh yeah!!

Getting around Fire Base Zulu area is an experience all unto itself. Cyreenik is mastering that skill now.

Her she is with a Gas Gyser, the tool for making these wonderful trips.

People of Port Oaks

Hanna Hardass with Mickey the Ears (a snitch) and friend (an ex-snitch).

Higher... higher...

Hanna shows villian friend Satan's Delighter, a dance step: the Shuffle off to Ziggaraut -- something neither plan on performing in the near future.

Hot Date?

Zelta uses one of her favorite solo tactics on this Fake Nemisis: the Time Bomb Hotfoot.

Here is Zelta in her third, and latest, costume.
