My global handle in-game is: @ChaosRed

I am a very old, very dorky roleplayer living in Seattle, Washington. I've been role playing since 1980 when the famous Dungeons and Dragons "blue book" released (and I still have the book).

I play all kinds of games, and so my attendance on Champions Online is scattered, but when I play, I like to role play as much as possible.

As for comics, I am not just old school, I am ancient school. I used to read Spider-Man regularly (long before Marvel got screwed up by Jim Shooter). I loved Doctor Strange and Jessica Drew as Spider-Woman, which I guess, makes me a fan of Carmen Infantino. Other strange titles I liked in those days were Captain Canuck and Weird War. Later, I enjoyed Teen Titans, X-Men, Crisis on Infinite Earths and Killing Joke.

I especially love the work of Jack Kirby and George Perez.

Admin Notice from Mangle Paw

Since the IP review things have been moving forward. Not according to plan, but I am okay with that. One of my primary concerns has been getting the new admins on the Primus Database forum inside CORP. Finally that has occurred. I’m going to post some thoughts there that will pretty much require responses from each of you. I Look forward to seeing those responses. Mangle Paw 18:57, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Genesis League

My main project within Champions right now is a super group called Genesis League.

I am have built a weekly RP event with a small group of players, where each member takes turns acting as GM for the week. Then we boil down the events of the week into a single "issue" and document it as part of the group's lore.

If you are interested in this project, contact @ChaosRed in game.

We have a "trailer" video for Genesis League on YouTube, you can view it here. If you prefer, you can also watch the video on VIMEO.

We also document our adventures with Mash-On comics, here are some links to some of our completed issues:

[Genesis League - Issue 13]

Characters

I tend to play a wide array of characters, and distributing my play across them all. Currently I have these characters active in-game:

Genesis League Genesis League is my primary RP group. It is an anti-Viper group, dedicated to wiping VIPER off the face of the Earth. Osprey is the leader of the group.	Osprey Osprey is a leader-type, intelligent and keenly focused on justice. He has a severe vendetta against VIPER and is about to initiate a project to finally wipe them off the face of the Earth.	2-Bit 2-Bit is my main villain these days. He's a street-level agent for Chancellor Brom and is essentially an assassin droid with some sublime disguise capabilities.
Monstro Monstro is a fairly typical "Frankenstein" tragic monster character. He is an ex-Colonel army that was horribly mutated by VIPER and then apparently killed his own wife and son when the awful mutations first took effect. He now fights crime seeking both redemption and inner peace from his horrible past.	Slink Slink is an informant. Although he is largely an NPC, he occasionally works on missions and role plays. He's modeled after Grouch Marx and mostly derives from the old Groucho joke: "Q: What are you a man or a mouse? A: You put a piece of cheese down there and you'll find out!	Specter Specter is a new character and will also be a member of Genesis League. He'll struggle with the fact he now has immense powers and tremendous responsibilities because he never asked for them or wanted them. I want to try a character where the personality doesn't match the costume or powers at all. He'll be a powerful dark sorcerer endowed with fantastic magical powers, but would much rather be at home watching NFL football and eating Cheese Puffs. Alas, fate simply isn't going to allow him to do that.

Retired/Deceased

These are characters I used to play, but are currently deceased or retired...

Lord Venom Lord Venom was my first attempt at my villain in the game. He was the nemesis of Osprey and lead a group of super-villains against Genesis League, as well as founded an independent nation known as Jormun. He was defeated by Osprey in Issue 18 and then destroyed by Sarrik.

Titan X Titan X started off as a rookie character, with bold dreams. However, he got involved in the superhero business too fast and was overpowered in Issue 15 of Genesis League and was killed by a VIPER assassin known as Zita Vasska.
