And finally, Strongbow, my latest character on Infinity. Trick Arrow defender.
They kicked him out of Longbow for being drunk on duty. Apparently, peeing on the statue of Atlas is "conduct unbecoming an officer". He tried Wyvern next, but they fired him too...after he "requisitioned" some of Manticore's arrows and sold 'em on eBay. What's a guy to do?
Go freelance, of course.

So.
Halloween event starts tomorrow.
Can we discuss trick-or-treat groups? =)
Seriously...I read the Legendary global channel MoTD - and it says there's a tentative SG trick-or-treat session Sunday on Infinity (edited after Foxboy's comment)
At least, I think that's what it said. I'll edit this post if I got it wrong.
Buuut...well, that's no good for me. The time's not right, and the characters I really want the reward (ie, extra costume slot) for are over on Virtue. Soooo...anyone game for that?
So...if folks are doing Infinity on Saturday...then...
Virtue server, Friday evening, maybe? The earlier the better, for me, but I'll still be good if we start around 6-7pm Eastern. I'm thinking heroside, but red is fine too.
I've got Syndesis (50), Superball (38 ) , and Space Mage (26) heroside, plus Obsolete (29) and Coordinator (20) for the villains.
Mind, 's not a hugely pressing issue, since I figure it's gonna be easy to find pick-up-groups for this, and the event'll be running for a while anyway...but it'd still be cool to get together.

The bottom and middle trays hold my Human form attacks and shields and these 3 macros. The Human macro turns on Gravity Shield automatically when switching to it.
/macro human "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$powexec_name Gravity Shield$$goto_tray_alt2 3"
(Tray 3 has miscellaneous human powers, temps and Shadow Recall)
/macro nova "powexec_name Dark Nova$$goto_tray_alt2 4"
(Tray 4 has your Nova powers)
/macro dwarf "powexec_name Black Dwarf$$goto_tray_alt2 5"
(Tray 5 has your Dwarf powers)
So when you press Nova, you shift forms and Nova powers appear in the top tray. Same with Dwarf. Press Human to go back to normal with human powers in the top tray.
I'm still trying to figure out how to add Shadow Cloak into the Human macro. Both GS and Cloak won't activate at the same time in that macro.

... a while (call it a year, maybe two) ago, I was playing Suikoden IV - despite the games many faults, there were bits and pieces in there that I found genuinely interesting. I finished the whole thing twice, getting all the 108 Stars on the second run-through, and figured that one day when I'm sufficiently bored I might take up the task of novelizing it (yes, I know it's been done professionally already, call it a private flight of fantasy) and including all the little things I felt were somehow missing. Like romance subplots and the hero's personality - because, as much as I liked the guy for some reason, even I have to admit that he didn't have much of one.
Sadly, nothing ever came of it. The desire was briefly rekindled a shorter while ago, when I was beating Suikoden:Tactics where the guy makes a reappearance if and when you load an SIV savegame with all 108 Starts present.
Now I'm in the process of playing through Suikoden V, and while I'm not all that far along I can already tell it'll be a helluva lot more fun than IV was - and not just because of the general consensus that it rocks.
So, I've riddled me up a little ditty during some spare time ...
The wind was neither loud, nor was it strong ... but even so, it was more than enough to shift and make airborne the fine grains of sand which covered nearly all of the surrounding landscape.
Lordlake.
Things had certainly changed here since the last time he'd visited. This ... desolate, broken wasteland which had been blasted into being in place of a lush, beautiful, fruitful landscape was an eyesore. The people, still clinging to their ancestors' homes and lands, still remained unbroken ... then again, it really hadn't been all that long since the disaster that brought this into being had occured.
A year and a half ago ...
His hand cupped a measure of the top layer of the sand, and green eyes focused on it as it sifted through his fingers.
No. Not long at all, in the grand scheme of things. Though a lifetime if you changed your point of view.
He sighed, stood, and shook some errant grains from his gloved hand whilst the other pulled the cloth over his mouth back into place.
The air was dry, whatever moisture had been therein having been burned out by the display of power that had scorched the land.
Nowhere was this more apparent than from his vantage point, his travelling boots having sunk more than an inch into the top layer of what had once been the magnificent lake the region had taken its name from.
No fields. No forest. Just what was left of the once beautiful town, surrounded by a desert of sand and twisted, burned, and leafless trees. What remained of them, anyway.
From what he'd heard of the current ruler of the Queendom of Falena, there'd been no indication that she'd ever been inclined to this sort of excess in her reactions. There had been no indication that this would be the response for even something as offensive to a ruler as a rebellion.
But then, the man had known almost from the moment he'd felt the wild flare of power from half the world over, this had not been as clear-cut a situation as the temperamental response of a monarch.
Turning, he began a trek back from the center of the onetime lake, and now barren expanse of bowl-formed ground.
There was a clinic that had been set up in town, despite the Queen's order that forbade any doctors or other healers to practice their craft in the region - some simply hadn't been able to turn their back on suffering, sickness and famine which was becoming increasingly common in the region.
He wasn't one, though there'd been times when it had been useful to pretend otherwise, and he had some time still before he thought he'd need to move on. Over the years, things may have somewhat changed, but compassion for those in need was still one of the defining points of his character.
Do what you can, while you can do it ... though the bigger picture hadn't really entered his mind for a while, there and then he found himself considering it.
Travelling was alright, he supposed. Kanakan had been a pleasant diversion and a bit of a learning experience - and you could never have enough of those no matter how long you'd been alive - but he'd been ... discontent with his inaction over the recent period.
Back before he'd gone on this latest excursion, he'd thought that maybe, just maybe, it was time to break the monotony of simple existence again. Just because.
He'd be the first to admit to having been a bit of a loner on even his best days, but the way things had gone over the past decade or so had his soul demanding a chance at making a difference again.
Else, it had warned him, he'd turn into ... someone very sad, whom he'd met back when everything was falling apart and then back together again.
For a moment, the image of a solemn bowman, little more than a child in body really, entered his mind before he could wave it off.
He shook his head, even as he entered the clinic and removed his cloak, hood, and the cloth he'd shielded his nose and mouth against the sand with.
That only lasted for a moment, though, before the tired looking doctor who he assumed was in charge of place asked what he wanted - he didn't look ill or injured after all.
It was two months before he left again, walking off towards the nearest stretch of water and a small sailboat he'd kept for the longest while for both practical and sentimental reasons. He ended up leaving or using up most of his medicine supplies from the modestly stocked kit he usually kept on him.
When asked as to where he would go, his only reply had been: "To do my duty."
And after a longish trek, he aimed his little boat in the appropriate direction, and set off.
The Sacred Games of Falena - the traditional means for the daughter-heir's husband to be picked - were coming around early this generation, what with the princess only ten years old. The political factions were at one-another's throats, as usual, and jockeying for power and favor, and this little abbreviation would be yet another battleground for a war that had been going on for centuries already.
This interested him fairly little, other than as a means to an end.
After all, one could hardly deny an audience to the fiance of one's only daughter, even if he was a bit of a ruffian. He'd heard the current Queen's husband had likewise been one.
The back of his left hand felt 'off' in that particular way for a moment, emanating approval.
Matters of men were one thing, and sometimes best left alone.
Matters of rogue, megalomaniac True Runes, however, were another thing altogether.
He who had once been the Prince of Obel, then Lazlo, then - for a brief, if not unimportant while - Lazlo En Kuldes, only to become Lazlo again and fade into the passage of time over the past one-hundred and fifty years, was off to do his duty. Not as a man, soldier, or any other mantle he'd worn during his life, but as the one in whose hands atonement and forgiveness lay.
For Want of a Hero
a Suikoden IV/Suikoden V fanfic concept
Because, who better to bring a dangerously unsable Rune to heel, or at least contain it, than the bearer of the True Rune of Punishment? It fits in neatly with his protofolio, IMO.
Though for some reason whenever I think of the guy, I need to do a brainwipe lest I die of laughter - the first mental image of him that comes to mind is always one where he's wearing black, with a stylized white skull on his chest.

Grandville, Rogue Isles -[ap] The hero known as Statesman, along with the rest of the Freedom Phalanx was defeated today in Atlas Park in Paragon City, Rhode Island, by a group of Villains led by Lady Nogitsune of the Infamous.
An opening salvo of Ballistic Missiles softened the do-gooders up, as twisted radioactive mockeries of human life began to thrash the brave heroes of the Phalanx. Then, the various superpowered villains got their own hands dirty. A slight glimmer of hope was dashed when the villains suddenly withdrew leaving only Positron and Citadel standing.
Hope was short lived, as the villains returned in force and subdued the remaining heroes.
Positron in a later interview expressed concern at the theft of eight items he called Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancements.

Hey guys, just thought I'd let you all know that I've overhauled my Wikispaces page. Changes include a dedicated page for various projects in the works and links to my LiveJournal and DeviantArt pages.
Having those linked will help because people can use the LJ to see how I'm doing on a roughly day-to-day basis and I'll be using DA to showcase work in progress because there peole can easily give feedback (or at least e-mail me comments).
So, check it out. It may not be much now, but hopefully I'll be able to cultivate it into something grand. ^_^ Black Aeronaut Technologies Group, LLC

Title says it all, eh? Well there's a little more explanation about what went down to offer. (And I want to show off ^_^ )
So... a couple of weeks back, my COH/COV account went dark. No money to pay it. Same thing happened with WoW a couple of weeks earlier than that. I had JUST gotten a new job and hadn't gotten my check yet.
A friend of mine had an account that he wasn't using at all, for now, and was just keeping the payments up against the time when he felt like getting back into it. (He's been sucked almost completely into WoW and has discovered a new game called RF Online.) So I asked if I could use his account in order to "stave off withdrawal". He said sure, and I made a temp character on his account over on Virtue name Vigdis Brightblade. I even mentioned as much over here.
Anyway, with my own account paid up again, I decided yesterday to delete Vigdis from my friend's account and recreate her on mine on Virtue server. Got Minuet Mac Hine to help in the transfer of some funds from her and from Lora'Lai in order to make things a little easier.
Since I also had since gotten the "GVE" in-game items upgradfe to my account, I decided to upgrade Vigdis' outfit some. As follows -
Original Version:
![[Image: VigdisBrightbladecrop01.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/Logan_Darklighter/City%20of%20Heroes/VigdisBrightbladecrop01.jpg)
New Version:
![[Image: VigdisBrightbladecrop02.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/Logan_Darklighter/City%20of%20Heroes/VigdisBrightbladecrop02.jpg)
I was getting lots of tells and general comments on the coolness of the outfit, so when I was running through Atlas on my way back from a mission and heard the call for a new costume contest, I figured, what the heck?
I won Grand Prize, 500,000 Influence!!!
That on top of the 100,000 Influence from Lora'Lai means Vigdis won't be hurting for funds for a LONG time! Sweet!
I can't wait to see what that is going to look like with a long red cape!-Logan
