I give permission to use any of my characters as well.
I've already got a basic description of some of Lora'Lai's quirks on the other thread.
Here's the other main character I'm developing over on the Infinity server in the ECL.
Stalnoy Volk
Level: 20
Technology - Blaster
Energy Blast - Energy Manipulation
Description:
After a mid-air collision and a faulty parachute deployment left him paraplegic, Mikhael Mitvol volunteered for a Soviet top-secret project. The scientists created a neural interface using nanocables to link his damaged nervous system to an experimental battlesuit, restoring his mobility and making him a fearsome combat machine.
The Soviets assigned Mikhael to the People's Legion under the codename Stalnoy Volk (Lit. "Steel Wolf"). For years, he was one of the Soviet Union's most prominent and visible superheroes. Happy in his new role, he ignored the obvious signs of decay in his team and country until just before both came crashing down.
When the Legion collapsed, he worked with the Russian Army, slowly becoming more and more disillusioned with the state of his country as it fell into corruption. He finally defected to the West, taking his battlesuit, and registered as a Hero in Paragon City. He spends most of his time in the suit, as he cannot walk without it.
Tactically, Stalnoy doesn't fight from range as much as other blasters. Oh he can, but he prefers to wade in close and personal whenever possible. He keeps foes off balance by knocking them around with his energy blast powers and by judicious use of his suits strength boosters. He knows he's no Scrapper or Tank, though, and will back off quickly if the villain isn't phased by that sort of thing.
He's experienced and savvy, and even a little world weary. He doesn't suffer fools well, and has a (Classic Russian) fatalistic disposition. He's a cynic and a pessimist. Yet surprisingly funny at times, with a biting, sarcastic wit. He'll absolutely floor you with a good one-liner sometimes, simply because he's the LAST person you'd normally expect it to come from. But just as often, he's likely to become severely annoyed by craziness. (He and Superball would NOT get along.) He's good in a secondary command position, but somewhat abrasive. Kind of like a drill sergeant. No - NOT R. Lee Ermey! Think of him as sounding a LOT like Sam Fischer from Splinter Cell, but with a slight Russian accent. His English is very good.
He and Thibor will either get along famously, or be tempted to try and kill each other.
If he's relaxing in the base, he's likely to take off his helmet and/or much of the top half of his suit, leaving the bottom half on so he can walk. Very occasionally, he'll get around in the lab or at his apartment in a wheelchair if he needs to tinker on the whole thing at once or doing maintenance on the leg actuators.
Here's some pictures.
