The Widow powersets don't really appeal to me, but I was in the mood to fiddle with the costume options and I noticed that I could approximate some of the look and feel of Spider-Man 2099...so I made this character to use it, and to at least have a "mule" villain on Freedom in case any of my friends wanted help transferring stuff.

I just unlocked villain epic archetypes on City of Heroes, and was pondering a female Arachnos Soldier based on Kei of the Dirty Pair. But she apparently has no canonical last name, so the "Operative (last name)" form of name won't fly.

"Night Call": A year before Sam Witwicky's world exploded, a young woman's world got turned upside down by a mysterious caller.

There's probably a paper in it for people involved in writing about economics and virtual economies here: what are the dynamics for a powerleveling/goldfarming service when it comes to buying respecs?

Returned to Doctor Dave after a few months of just shuffling him around to day job spots, got him to L32 (yay Singularity) and grabbed his other two costume slots.

Six months or so ago, I offered a free month on City of Heroes using some codes I got at Odd Lots (I still have one of those codes if anyone's interested in giving CoH a try, by the way), and the person who took me up on it made Izzy Spacecase, a Ziggy Stardust pastiche. I wanted to make a companion character to show him the ropes, but he couldn't remember if he'd made Izzy on the Freedom server or the Triumph server. Since I had no characters on Freedom I couldn't check the name, so I figured I'd make a quick random character...if it told me the name was in use, I'd know it was Freedom. It wasn't and once I picked the name I couldn't back out, oops. So I left the fugly random-costumed scrapper there as a placeholder so I could use the "check name availability" function on Freedom, and didn't come back to it for months.

Last night, after getting some XP for Kazengar (who looks like he won't make L50 before break ends, sigh) I decided on a whim to see if I could whip my Izzy into playable shape. Thanks to the Holiday Event and the sale of some candy cane salvage, I was able to revise his look into something a little more Bowie-like yet not a duplicate of the original Izzy.
