Now, I get to sit and wait for Sunday!
During the pre-select period (today until the head start begins on Sunday) you’re able to reserve two names and play around in the character creator. I had a good time with it but, I have to admit, the experience was a little bittersweet knowing that that’s all I could do until Sunday. It’s like being able to use the dressing room at a clothing store but not actually being able to buy anything.
Still, I spent a good hour or so tinkering around. It was a period of self-discovery and the end result was that I found out I’m indecisive. I must have gone through the face and hair selections at least ten times trying to find something that was just right. We won’t even get into how often I’d go into the “advanced” panel to tweak this or that, just to do it all over again for another face or hair option. That, my friends, is why I can’t play a game like Champions. Two weeks in, I’d still be deciding on just the right outfit.
In the end, I decided to go conservative with my main. Meet Syeric.
Syeric - Assassin, Lvl. 1
Syeric is an assassin because I found their combat style to be fast paced and fun. I kept his body form pretty much standard but I scaled down his height. I have this “small but deadly” image in mind for him.
Hear that Spielberg? He’s ready for his close-up!
Ain't he cute?
Now, with the option of creating a second character, I couldn’t resist reserving my nickname Raegn. Raegn’s a warrior that will eventually go the templar route for tanking. I like playing both sides of the fence. What can I say, I swing like that.
Oh, Raaaeeeeeegn?
Raegn - Warrior, Lvl. 1
Raegn’s a little sensitive about his name. Sometimes people call him Raegan and for that he blames his parents. Me. Then again, with a face like that, I’ll probably think of him more as a Chester Cheeto than anything else.
Asmodian...
... or Cheeta. You be the judge.
I can tell you one thing though, he’ll be the baddest thing with highlights the gaming world has ever seen. But, damn, aren’t those eyes cool?
Anyways, that’s the update for now! I’ll be twiddling my thumbs at the call center this weekend but I’m interested to see what you all make. Post the pictures on your blogs! It’ll make my workday go faster, honestly.
Until tomorrow!
