When I heard Jack Emmert left the company, I came back and re-made her on Protector server, my first home. She had leveled fast on Victory, running with some incredibly awesome people whose names I regrettably forget. The concept of this healer isn't for her to heal the most hit points; but instead heal the most often and least expensive. That is, I put more into recharges and endurance reduction than in healing enhancements. So she can heal, heal, heal in rapid succession, never losing endurance as she goes. Regrettably, I chose Energy Blast for her secondary. It keeps the baddies off her, but you should never create knockback off the tank. If I would re-roll her (and I did, often, in my altitis days), I would give her Radiation Blast instead. Nonetheless, and despite putting all those enhancements on her healing powers, the few blast powers she has are super-strong, even for a defender.

The only weakness in that idea is that we had extremely poor damage. The Sonjas were such fun to run around with, though, that we expanded to allow the other archetypes, and _then_ we had more fun.

Masterminds

My first villain, I had very high hopes for masterminds when CoV came out. Boy, was I disappointed. I got this character to level 41 and finally deleted him when I saw that even the villain "epic power pools" simply could not improve on a wretched archetype. The game has since significantly improved on them, but they are currently my least favorite type of character to play. And they are boring. After major improvements were made to masterminds, I re-rolled him, but only took him to 40 this time. Bots just bore me to sleep, doesn't even matter if I am on a hot-and-heavy strike force at the time.

Special Toons: Sonjas

So player sionaraa and a couple other supergroup friends started this idea of creating the Sonjas, all defenders or controllers, all with Sonic defense, all science origin, all the exact same height and costumes, just different colors. The belief was that the sonic defenses we could put on each other, even at level 1, would make a band of us running around totally invincible. The only weakness in that idea is that we had extremely poor damage. The Sonjas were such fun to run around with, though, that we expanded to allow the other archetypes, and _then_ we had more fun.

You are the best at immobilizing and holding, but you can't hurt squat. I do love the character's name, though.

Special Toons: Level-locked

One thing that altitis gives you is a lot of characters you don't ever _want_ to do anything with; but eventually I found a use for them: bank missions. Since it is very easy to out-level safeguard and mayhem missions, I took a set of my least favorite characters, and level-locked them so they could be used _just_ to run radio/newspaper missions and bank missions.
