Any gamers around here?

I'm thinking I'll join the RP server. I'm still a little peeved that The Elder Scrolls Online never added the option to join instances with other RPers. Always had to deal with people harassing us.

But anyway, I'm already brainstorming character names. Hopefully, they're not all taken. Donut steel.

Nightburn - With a mix of purple fire and purple lightning attacks.

Battle Beetle - A tech-based character, with battle armor resembling a beetle, if possible.

Blacklight - A sneaky, stabby type.

Tomba La Bomba - A nuclear themed character, maybe with ice as well.

Bullet Biter - Speedy type or defensive tank.

Amoeba Boy - Science type. If there's a duplication power, all the better.

"Great Caesar's Ghost" (Crosses any Rubicon!)
"Apocalypse Meow" (guess)
"Something Wickeder." (Bradburys enemies)
"Scratch N. Whiff." (Full combat arm pits.)
"Bottle Axe" (Best fighter when drunk)

It's only unofficially an RP server, so a sizeable percentage roleplay but not everyone and not all the time.  In the big raids, people generally chit chat or talk about raid objectives.  The smaller teams are a lot more likely to roleplay.

A lot of the obvious superhero names are already taken, like Frostfire or Ajax or Captain Steel.  But less obvious names like Silverwing Lancer or Molten Carnage or Agent Kiera Moon are still available.

I suggest making a name you like first and then picking their powers second rather than the other way around.  My reasoning is that people will pick fire powers and ice powers and then call themselves something generic like Frostfire, whereas if you pick a name you like first, it's easier to build around that and ultimately, you're more likely to empathize with the character.

Like Jackie Chan, in Drunken Master? 🤣

Good to know. I should try to find an RP group. Or maybe I'll bump into one organically. I meant to play this morning, but ran out of time. I'm anticipating character customization taking me at least an hour, so I'm not doing that when I have a work shift coming up. lol

You almost certainly will.  Plus, guilds (supergroups) advertise often.  There's no downside to being in a guild anymore - they used to charge a small tax to fund the base, but bases are free now so no guild taxes anymore.  In fact, guilds run a network of portals, which really help newbies get around.  Non-guildies can use them as well if the guild allows it.  Fast travel to almost any zone for free, no cooldown.  Very convenient.

I've done that.  Mercifully, you can save your progress.

The name alone takes an hour.  Then there's the outfit.  And there's also an underrated customization option - customizing the combat animations, mostly just the colors.  You're going to see them a LOT, so it's a good idea to tint them to your liking.
