Dave's City of Heroes/Villains Characters

@dvandom's City Of Heroes/Villains characters - Beta
Updated: December 1, 2012

I'd never really bothered keeping track of Beta, other than sometimes screenshotting costumes for characters I planned to remake on a live server. After all, I rarely ever teamed on beta, so I didn't really need to keep track of what I had there...and I could always transfer something in from live at need. But on November 30, 2012, it occurred to me that I might want to make some sort of record of what I had, especially since some of it never would go live. So, after lunch, I grabbed screenshots and info.

At the time the game ended, here's my beta roster. Characters who weren't imports will be linked to infoblocks.

Doctor Aeschaton (Hero) - Due to the Immortal Game he had all his incarnate slots open and filled with tier 4s. So, in a way, one of my last characters was the most powerful. Native to Virtue, L53.
Dan Tracey (Hero) - Native, built for Issue 24 testing. L16.
K-Type (Vigilante) - Brought over before the version that had Hybrid unlocked, he was my go-to guy to test high-level hero side content, because he was so frelling overpowered. Native to Triumph. L53.
Artemis A (Hero) - I think I copied her over so I'd have more options for beta version Incarnate Trials, but I only really used her to send money to new characters. Native to Virtue. L53.
Acton Lord (Villain) - Brought over to do high level villain content, before I'd moved him off Virtue, but rarely used because Corruptors solo poorly. Native (eventually) to Protector. L53.
Goldion (Hero) - Made for beta testing Titan Weapons and Long Distance Teleportation. One of the few times I accepted a level bump, and only to 40. Ended high in L41.
Beemahboi (Hero) - Made to beta test Beam Rifle and Darkness Manipulation, as well as the Elemental Order costume. Soloed through the entire First Ward arc in beta as well. L26.
Server Wench (Rogue) - Brought over to solo high level villain content once I died too many times on Acton Lord. I believe she had a Hybrid crafted but the slot not yet opened. Native (at the time) to Liberty. L53.
Gilly Callum (Vigilante) - Imported to run the Brickstown Vigilante arc for Issue 24. Native to Exalted. L32.
Qombat (Rogue) - Imported to run the St. Martial Rogue arc for Issue 24, then I found you had to be L31-40 for it. Oops. Native to Triumph. L41.
Crazy.Guy (Hero) - Not really sure why I imported him, especially since it meant deleteding the slightly different beta-native version. Native to Protector. L33.
Carnivore X (Villain) - Brought over to do the L40-50 villain arc in Issue 24, but I ended up doing it on Server Wench instead. Native to Virtue. L41.
Skwirl Torch (Rogue) - Once I found Qombat wouldn't work, I spent a couple of days getting Skwirl Torch over to Rogue on Infinity so I could import her to run the St. Martial arc. L37.
Sharon Venturi (Hero) - One of the plans floated on the Livejournal group was to bring everyone's first character (or oldest L40+) to beta and do a Dr. Quaterfield taskforce. It never materialized, though. Native to Virtue. L53.

Because I didn't keep close records, I'm having to go from memory on the characters I deleted to make room (although I suppose I could have bought extra slots, everything in the Paragon Store was free).

Freeflight - Archery/Trick Arrow Corruptor hero, but done up more like my Champions character from the late 80s, as a tech type. Rerolled on Exalted with an Exalted RPG visual theme.
Pinkemina Pie - Rerolled as just Pinkemina on Exalted.
Generic 000 000 000 - Rerolled with slight differences on Exalted.
Darkon Generator - Made to try out Darkness Control and Darkness Affinity, I used the powerset to make Lord Ebon on Protector.
Crazy Guy - My Staff Fighting testbed, rerolled as Crazy.Guy on Protector, and overwritten by the imported version.
There might be one or two others, I'll edit this if I remember them.

Info (copied from game screen)

Dan Tracey	Hero	Natural Blaster	Dual Pistols	Martial Combat	Sorcery
Costume	With Martial Combat (and Martial Assault) coming in Issue 24, I realized I could make a credible Dan Tracey to go along with Jen Kleinvogel. The Sorcery I tacked on just to try it out, if I24 had gone live I would have given him Leadership instead. I ran him through the new King's Row arc in which some of the old Regulators business from the 1980s reared its grim and gritty head, and the Skulls got a long-overdue revamp.
(Never filled this in) Battlecry: (or this)

Goldion	Hero	Technology Brute	Titan Weapons	Electric Armor	Leaping, Teleportation
Costume	This was made to try out Titan Weapons...and when I saw the Rocket Hammer I knew who I needed to make. Goldymarg, wielder of the Goldion Hammer, from Gaogaigar. Of course, I also wanted to play with the new Long Distance Teleport power, so his build ended up being pretty awful and I had a devil of a time getting him through the L40-50 arc for I24 later on. He did use other costume slots, but only to model other weapons. The reason he didn't go live was that I had other ideas I wanted to try by the time Titan Weapons came out. Ironically, the Titan/Elec combo did end up working pretty well for me on Mobile Suit Gangnam.
When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. But if the hammer's big enough, that's just fine. Battlecry: Turn into light!

Beemahboi	Hero	Technology Blaster	Beam Rifle	Darkness Manipulation	Flight, Speed
Costumes 1 and 2	This guy pulled triple duty. Not only was he testbed for new Primary and Secondary powersets, he was also a clothes horse (both costumes use piecs that were new in beta at the time) and I ran him through all the First Ward arcs solo. I guess that might be part of why I never made him in live, I was kind of tired of him by that point! I did use the power set for American Eidolon, though. He's also kinda rare for my beta natives in having a pretty fleshed out background.
The First Ward is one chompy channel, chums. But the pickin' is gruuvi for ghoulie gear, mekatek that's been turned all funkadelic by the hoodooyoodoo in the Ward. Most people won't touch it, but I got a mad beatbox tween the audios, I'll take that chance! Battlecry: Boom, badgers!
