[edit] About Me
I actually started playing the game in April 05, with a bunch of friends from work. We powered through content under the supergroup alias 'Crimson Darkness' and completed the game satisfactorily. I moved on to create my own supergroup the 'Dark Covenant' and explored movie-making and comicbook art based around the super-group's dark theme. It was my first taste of roleplaying and I wanted more.
Roleplaying really began to grasp my attention after a confusing and accidental introduction, when I power-spammed an astonishingly large crowd of people at the Galaxy Girl statue with my hero Y-Freeza. Like Coile, I later grew into style by writing character stories. When Battleflag started and then left the Militia, I stepped up as Moderator and learnt to write plots and group story-arcs. During this time, the Militia and Silent Tempest initiated Pocket D roleplaying as a more suited, alternative, social gathering area to GG. I remember helping Suzi White re-launch the hugely controversial 'Heroes Among People' community-plot at this time. Later, Amber Banshee, Crimson Archer and then Britanic took up the Militia Plot Moderator position. Consequently, I turned my focus on the Gang, the over-powered thugs superteam with whom I moderated three successful communitywide invasion plots based on RP PvP, guest starring the Immorality League and E.V.I.L.
Then I launched Paragon City Parkour with the New Heroes Union, a small game of skillfully running through Independence Port without stopping or falling to the ground; it was only a one-off success. Then I launched the Friday Night Talkshow project, successful, plenty of veteran and common roleplayers had a lot of fun, basically video-taping their roleplaying onto YouTube. Prior to the Second Rikti War, while I was stateside with Tyger, I discovered the Handbook of the Virtue Universe and went on to make one for Union. With instruction from Kadikawa, I co-design the now massive website and Zortel helped moderate it, even Coile pitched in for a while. This was the time that my character Pious Hunter aka the Priest, settled down in Moth Cathedral and attracted widespread forum RP including Doctor Mechano's well-known redemption and Britanic's wedding. During this time, I had invented Acting Avatars and suddenly the forums were ablaze with Hollywood actors with game icons plastered on their faces, 90% of which I drew for people on Photoshop, even Catz helped out a bit.
After a while I spoke with Hatesman about the League of Righteous Destroyers. As world villains, the Lords promised to be an exciting community-wide adversary for the countless in-character hero groups in Paragon City. Simultaneously, I re-visited my YouTube exploits and announced the Gladiators project (the Cage), RP PvP for fun and entertainment purposes or more, it was great fun for everyone. It was at this time that Crazy Dragon proposed an idea for military sponsored combatants and Merrow invented the name R.A.P.I.E.R. I jumped on-board and helped out a lot. In the middle of running these three projects, it all fell apart and circumstances meant I could no longer play. Later I became a husband and a father. The Priest went MIA. Pistol died. Pious clones died. I bid a low-key farewell and disappeared.
Four or Five months later, I return with the Priest and my undying interest in entertaining the community. Its fair to say my personal life can be a little hectic, so this story-writing game-playing hobby keeps me calm and entertained (theater work, parkour, dance and other favourable hobbies aside). I try my best to look after the many projects I run here and what keeps me going at it is all of you wonderful people. Look out for the PRIEST Comics and the return of many other projects. Long live City of Heroes and long live Union!
[edit] Inspirations
Pious is a mysterious man (who looks like Will Smith) born to a perculiar family. A strange power has left him with many acquired abilities which he uses to protect innocents. Growing up on a spiritual path has given him a strong sense of morality and eventually brought him to Priesthood. Although Pious is an original character in his own rights, I consider him a homage to 'mean priest' characters like Canon Fodder and The Preacher.
Pious has been through alot in his life. His body split into twelve parts moments after he was born, twin brothers that have grown up to become his personal responsibilities. After the accidental death of his psychic grandfather, the power he leeched sent him insane. After his recovery, Pious had a vision from his literally fallen-from-grace father and decided he would become a full-fledged hero. He had his first run in with sister-through-marriage Alicia 'Pistol' Barzini and was credited with her death. He would later be responsible for vanquishing a ressurected 'undead' Pistol, twice. Once over the Pacific ocean and again in the company of the Art of War heroes.
Not too long ago, he was stolen by Crey who were partnered with Pistol and was experimented on for so long that he nearly died. His godsend gift to absorb powers, mutiply and to reconstruct were spliced in the process, leaving him with access only to abilities he had once leeched. He was rescued by his wife Rachel 'Damsel' Grey with whom he has a now four-year old child. They live safely off-world but Pious still inhabits the Earth, doing his very best to avert disasters and help innocents live a safe and happier life. He works mainly with the Nighthunters to fight off evil.
Memphis is the most recent antagonist in the Pious story and stands as a direct threat to the saintly priest. Memphis is a sixty-three year old American businessman possessed by the seven cardinal satans. Inspired by the great Billy Drago, Memphis is reaching the finale of his long and wealthy life and must now hold up his end of the bargain with the Devil. I am yet to introduce this character into the Priest plots.
Codename is a young girl born with severe brain damage. Her science-mad father used technology to amplify her neurons, giving her enhanced cerebral and muscular performance, including technopathy and mild electrocution. Codename (who looks like Avril Lavigne) is a super-hott, gun-wielding, ex-military hero with a bad-*** attitude. Can you get any more American? My inspirations here are from classic action movies like Rambo, Commando and Hard Boiled, but mainly Pamela Anderson's chick-flick movie based on the Dark Horse graphic novel Barb Wire.
Dragonfly is a young mother trained from birth to be used as a weapon in the way of the Ninja but instead, fled to America. Sabrina is my very own ninja-spy, with a really moving sob-story. She's been raised up as a tool and was frequently used as a deadly weapon, especially in seduction and assassination. I was inspired by legendary Kung Fu movies with the likes of Jet Li, Jackie Chang and obviously Zhang Ziyi.
Pistol is a naturally suitable antagonist for Codename. An ex-mutant woman born into the criminal syndicate of the Family. She craves more power by any means necessary. She has cheated death more times than I can remember and under a misguided sense of morality, would argue that her countless villainous acts were nothing more than self-preservation. Alicia 'Pistol' Barzini is a character influenced by the Italian Mafia stories but more directly, the dangerously beautiful Italian model-turn-actress Monica Belluci.
Niatsu is the kunoichi name once worn by hero-turn-spy Sabrina 'Dragonfly' San but has recently been hijacked by Kai Long Shin, daughter of the late terrorist sorcerer and Ninja mastermind Wu Long Shin who vowed to kill Sabrina and repossess the magic he infussed into the Golden Dragon katana. To avenge her father's death and reclaim her family's honour, Kai Long has mastered all eighteen schools of Ninjutsu and vowed to destroy Sabrina San no matter the cost. A purpose-built antagonist for Dragonfly, Niatsu was also influenced by Japanese and Chinese martial arts stories. If screened, Lady Niatsu would most likely to be played by Zhao Wei.
