Dark Fact in City of Villains! (not 56k friendly)

[Dark Fact]

Hey guys.  I recently just nabbed City of Heroes/Villains a couple days ago and am in the process of creating Dark Fact as an official supervillain! I've only been tinkering with the character creation system but backed out due to needing more research into Dark Fact's actual appearance and powers.  I'll put up a few screenshots later to show how he looks and you can give me your opinions.  See ya later.

[Dark Fact]

Well, after spending a couple of hours customizing my character, this is what I've got so far:

• Unfortunately, there is no option in the character creation mode to give Dark Fact a cloak.  So, in its place, I gave him some armour since it's the only other medieval thing he's got.
• I couldn't get any screenshots of the character creation mode but I'll find a way to get a full frontal shot later.
• I had to call him Dark Priest Fact on the official ID card because Dark Fact was already taken.  Ah well, it's not like I had to call him Bob, the blue bastard or anything in his place.

And as promised, screens!

Here's me in prison.  I don't know why I'm in prison.  All you need to know is that I'm bustin' out!

I don't know exactly what went on here, but I had to get a fellow prisoner his medication and thus, had to go and threaten the nurse to do it.  Yay!

Just shootin' the breeze with another fellow convict.

This is what happens when you play with fire.  You burn stuff!

Just me burning up a few fellow inmates.  Just a little revenge against them for taking my Manwich from last night's Sloppy Joe bonanza.

The best part about being a villain is going where you're not authorized.  Here, I get to trespass and blow stuff up! Hooray!

Apparently, some security guards didn't like what I was doing and decided to "punish" me for it.  Well, I had to be reasonable with em...so I decided to offer them a free tan.  Unfortunately, I overdid it.

I got to plant some explosives.  Go me!

And that's me standing proud for a job well done.  Being a villain never looked so good...I mean bad!

And that's all for the day.  I'll get some more screens up a bit later to show you all how I'm progressing on this game.  I'll also have some more info about Dark Fact's character attributes to share with you.

[Keranu]

That's pretty jawesome! Is it possible to get a face shot? Excellent work!

[TR0N]

Where's the face !? I wanna see if you got that part down right.

Must be fun to play the villan in that game.

[Turbo D]

looks like fun, haha. That guy really loves his dark fact 

[Dark Fact]

Face shots:


facial view.

Full frontal body view.

[Keranu]

Awesome, looks great. I recall Dark Fact having red eyes though, maybe yellow.

[Dark Fact]

There is no option to change eye color in this game, unfortunately.  What you see is what you get.  Hopefully that setback will be remedied in future versions.

[Turbo D]

very nice for what you had to work with

[Keranu]

Indeed!

Now lets see Dalles and Darm!

Not bad at all shame about the color for the eyes though.

I guess,the most you can hope for is a patch that will let you do that in the future.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Wow, very cool.  Hmm, if someone else is called Dark Fact.....what does his character look like??

[Turbo D]

I was also wondering that, haha

[Dark Fact]

Okay, here's the attributes for my character:

1. Corruptor - This allows my character to manipulate natural elements such as fire, ice, or lightning to attack my opponents.  Considering that Dark Fact uses fire attacks, it was only natural to give him fire abilities.  The results are astounding! It really does make it look faithful to his powers in the original Ys games.
2. Magic - Considering that Dark Fact uses magic spells in Ys, it was only natural to assign him this attribute.  All other options are based off of mutation or technology which I say poop to that.
3. Primary Powers: Flare - Choosing between this and fireball, I went with flares considering that they do multiple amounts of damage on a single target and look just like the small fireballs that Dark Fact attacks Adol with on the platform during the final battle.  You can see the results from the screenshots posted above.
4. Secondary Powers: Dark Miasma - This allows Dark Fact to conjure up darkness from the netherworld to give him abilities to heal himself and weaken his opponents in the process.  While I've never seen him do this in the Ys games, it was the only logical choice given from the menu.  I'm not complaining though, as this power has saved my butt in battle multiple times.

And here are a couple of screens:


Here is me testing out my powers over a long distance.  Basically, I get to bug a few ships for a client and let's say, things didn't go as planned. No matter, they were no match for my dark powers!

My first official use of the fireball power! I forgot to mention that after leveling up, I can add new powers to my arsenal.  So, the fireball power that I skipped initially has been finally added.  It sure came in handy in taking out the chief security officer at the runway! Look at that bang!

And here is my client.  I do a few odd jobs for him in order to build up my skills.  Nice fellow, albeit a little too paranoid sometimes.

Check back next time for some snake bustin' action!

What about when you fight Dark Fact and the background turns into dark space?

[Dark Fact]

What about when you fight Dark Fact and the background turns into dark space?

That's more of an astrological plane than pure darkness.

Wow, very cool.  Hmm, if someone else is called Dark Fact.....what does his character look like??

I don't know who the joker is that took that name, but I don't think his Dark Fact would look as good as mine.

Now lets see Dalles and Darm! 

Have you already forgotten that there is no cloak accessory in this game yet? Without a cloak, it's impossible for me to create Dalles. Dharm, on the other hand, is possible but I'm gonna have to put in a good few hours to make him.

Here's today's screens:

That bubble headed figure is the guy I report to for training every time I level up.  Recently, I just gave myself the power of flight so I can move through the air!

The cave missions involve me hunting down snakes.  It's almost like I'm Adol going through the Rastin mines to get treasure.

A whole nest of snakes! Yup, you guessed it, they're gonna die!

Snakes on fire, snakes on fire!

Throughout the game, I get a set of temporary powers called inspirations.  Depending on the inspiration, I can have a temporary accuracy boost, defense boost, power boost, HP or MP recovery, or revival.  They can help bail me out of tough scrapes if my other powers get used up.

Whoops, missed me!

A treasure chest! What's inside? A ring of invincibility perhaps?

Getting my fire ready for some more snake broiling action!

There is only one thing you can do in a snake's nest, blow up some eggs!

Would you like your eggs poached...

or scrambled?

If you use up too much of your powers, you'll find yourself exhausted.  This giant cobra is the boss of the cave and let me tell you, it wasn't an easy fight.  Long story short, I won, he lost.

Next time, you'll see me raid a pirate tanker and team up with other fellow villains.

P.S. If anyone is interested in playing this game and teaming up with me, look me up on the PINNACLE server.  I'm usually on during the mornings and afternoons.

[2X4]

That's pretty cool.  Finally we get to see at least one Ys character rendered in 3D!

[Dark Fact]

True, despite the fact that it isn't an official Nihon Falcom model.

I may make a hero later using Adol Christian, provided I don't have too much fun with Dark Fact.

[Dark Fact]

Here's the new screens!


This guy is called the quartermaster.  Unlike the arbiter trainers, I get to purchase and sell power inspirations and enhancements from him.  So, if there is any enhancement that I need to boost up my power arsenal, he's the go to guy.

Behold, the power of darkness!

These wannabe superheroes thought they could get one on me.  Needless to say, they were wrong!

Here was the leader of the pack.  He's not as tough as he looks.

A tanker filled with pirates? What's a bunch of lowly pirates gonna do against a priest like me?

Whoa, a little too close to the head there, buddy.

The pirate's den! Time to clean up this ship!

These guys are the more powerful batch of pirates.  However, their powers were no match for mine!

Even the most vile of supervillains need a little help now and then.  I got this guy to help me out with a mission.

See how teamwork pays off? Our enemies never stood a chance!

Uhhhh...I shouldn't have had that 10th bottle of Jack Daniels.

This is my new client.  After you finish work for other clients, you get redirected to different clients who will give you different missions to complete.  He's a mad scientist, and our relationship is like dirt and bread, but a guy needs work after all.

If you find a mission to difficult to complete on your own, ask some buddies to help out.  There is also an option in the game to create Super Groups which consist of a group of super villains going out to do some...you guessed it, villainry! Joining one of these groups can make the game a LOT more fun and exciting. 

Next time, you'll see me wreak havoc at a laboratory, fight rival priests, and me flying through the air.

[Dark Fact]

Well, I've been busy with the game for a while and have some new pics to show.  I'm also a member of a super group called "Dimebag Darrell's Heroes" and I've been promoted to " Old Skool Metallica".   So now, me and my fellow buds are waging war all across the cities by blowing up Arachnos robots as well as pulling off heists, defeating heroes, and mocking law enforcement.

Here's today's haul:


What lies in this lab of strange and wonderful things? Who cares! I gotta beat the mad scientist here and blow it up, that's what!

Time to do a little vandalism.

Ah, nobody needed that workstation anyway.

So much for that government grant.

Here's the boss of this mission.  Complete wacko bent on ruling the world with his mad genius.  Needless to say, he didn't really achieve that goal.

No more mad scientist, no more lab, no more problem.

No officer is going to put this priest under arrest!

Check it out! I can fly around.

Does this scene look familiar?

City of Villains allows your character to obtain new power pools after a certain number of levels.  Here, I was able to select Fly so now I can fly around whenever I want.

Another client.  The best thing about this guy is that whenever I complete a certain number of jobs under my own reconnaissance, he gives me a job to pull off a major heist in Paragon City, the home of heroes.  You'll get to see that later.

Here's a mission I chose under my own reconnaissance.  Defeat other magicians and show them that I'm the real deal in magic.  All I have to do is open that door and enter their hidden stronghold

Well, well, what have we here?

Time to show these amateurs what real magic is all about!

Bring it on, bitches!

The head archmage.  He was more to my level but still went down in the end, within my flame!

Just sleeping on the job.  It's not like that guy put a sleep spell on me or anything.

That's all for this batch.  Next time, you'll see me blow up public property and rob a bank or two.

So, anyone interested in playing this game yet?

[TR0N]

Looks good still i'll stick to gaming on consoles.

PC gaming just isn't my cup of tea.

[LEO EL INCOMPARABLE]

greeeeeat !!!

[OldRover]

I would probably play if I had the game and enough free time to get into it. I love games where you can completely customize characters like that.
