The Elemental

Freddie Frost stands alone.

He is a powerful Hero, but even the most stalwart of men can tire of being the only One of his kind.

His Elemental nature makes him unique, and seek as he might, he cannot find rest in this world of normal heroes.

No one is like him, despite his search for Others.

Sometimes he imagines there are Others, but they are just shadows of his own imagination.

And then Freddie sees him. Another Elemental like himself!

Someone else with whom to adventure. Someone else who draws upon the raw power of the Elements.

They become fast friends, backing eachother up both on the battlefield and off.

Other heroes line up to meet the Duo and get their photos taken with the Elementals

Others offer their services in hopes of learning the Power the Elementals wield.

Soon the Two are joined by a Third and a Fourth.

And even a pair as uniquely twinned as themselves.

The Elementals continue in their fight against evil. Backed by the Others.

Freddie and Johnny continue their fight for justice in Paragon City. No longer One, but Many.

Actually, I had quite a good time last night playing City of Heroes. A few days ago I'd created a new hero, Freddie Frost. He may look like he belongs on some beach somewhere. But his ice powers are a lot of fun to play with, and besides, at his current level all the beaches in Paragon City are pretty damn scary. So I just tend to let him hang out around Atlas, or in Pocket D.

One of my friends thought he was a cool idea, so he created Johnny. We paired up in-game last night and just palled around. Entered a few costume contests and such. By the end of the night, we'd inspired the creation of three other heroes like us, and we all had a good deal of fun roleplaying together. What can I say? I like starting a trend!
