QuadDammage- 60 Atrox Bureaucrat

Points of Interest: Froob, CDR/Dark Pistol, Can cast Bureaucrat Minion with Mochs/Wrangle, Area Calms (with help :)

Setup: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=119758

This guy's been sitting around for over 2 years at level 60 waiting for me to get inspired :). He was originally a Bow user, but switched to pistols when I made him up. I wanted to see if I could make a Froob twink who could cast area calms in the Temple. I ran some numbers and found that even with Mochams, this guy would need a bit of a wrangle to make up enough skill for Muddled Psyche. So, I made the next Trader to go along with this guy to cast low level wrangles as needed. It's not as annoying as that might sound. If I need to do an area calm, I have SassyTrade cast her 65 wrangle and then I have 3 minutes to calm anything. You can actually cover a lot of ground in 3 minutes and I think it's still faster to calm cultists than to kill them if there's a large group. Even with a couple lvl60 Panther twinks, it takes a few seconds to kill a mob of cultists. With this guy, you can calm the whole group and carry on- almost without stopping. With the Minion pet and pistols, he also does pretty good damage and if we're talking about one or two cultists, it is probably faster to just kill them rather than calm.

SassyTrade- 60 Solitus Trader

Points of Interest: Froob, Made for casting Wrangles in the Temple, Imps up to QL156, CDR/Uncle Bazzit Diplomatic, Mostly Mantis Armor

Setup: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=119757

Made to cast wrangles on my 60 Crat so he can cast area calms in the temple. Really wanted to go Shotgun with her, but ended up with one CDR and one Uncle Bazzit Shotgun. Just couldn't go all the way :). She's actually pretty cool, using Nano Armor for looks with some high level Tank. This girl is also the fastest I have levelled to date. When I realized that I wouldn't be able to cast area calms with the Crat alone, I created this girl (and another new Nanomage engineer- you never level alone :)). I didn't really plan to but I ended up levelling them to 60 in one day. I started after lunch and was finished by about 2am- with breaks for supper and walking the dog :).

Robotamus- 60 Atrox Engineer

Points of Interest: Froob, Stygian, Silken Legchoppers, Imps to 154, Can cast Semi-Sentient Warbot (702 TS/MC) with Mochs/Wrangle

Setup: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=119753

Made this guy just because I didn't have an Engineer to do Temple duties. He's been level 60 for almost two years and I finally got around to twinking him :). Went Atrox so he could use Legchoppers and just to be a bit tougher than the standard Nanomage. Put Styg on so he can hold his own against Exarchs and random mobs that spawn or get trained in the Temple. Can't stand running and hiding :). He's using Neleb's New Robe and Lya's Glasses for some extra Nano Skills. Real appearance is the second picture with the Robe. Last is a bit of a group shot. These three previous twinks were all made within one week. The Engie and Crat were already at lvl 60 (untwinked), but the Trader was brand new.

NinjaTech- 10 Atrox Nanotechnician

Points of Interest: Froob, Crypt Collar, GTA, Rockcrushers, Up to QL90 imps

Not a super fantastic twink, but pretty fun. I mostly wanted to see a South Wind Katana in action. I've always thought it was a good starter 2he weapon for anyone looking to get into the Frosty/Styg/Panther route. They drop in a wide range of levels from what I've seen. So, I had to figure out what prof could use a South Wind Katana and not have it be their main source of damage. I considered a pet class, but settled on this guy. He's Atrox to make getting the Rockcrushers and GTA on easier. Harder to get Crypt Collar on, but still managed :). So- with the Katana, he's part Ninja and part Nanotechnician, hence Ninjatech :). The nukes are fun to mess around in the subway and the sword does ok added damage and is a solid backup- for when he's out of nano. He's definitely one of my more unique guys. His real armor is mostly Rhinoman. His social tab is random Omni Elite- gotta have the black look for a Ninja :). His real look in the second picture.

NeutronFlash- 10 Atrox Soldier

Points of Interest: Froob, Neutrino Flash Assault Rifle, GTA, Crypt Collar, Rockcrusher Gauntlets, Imps up to QL90

Setup: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=119796

Another level 10 twink. I basically wanted to make use of some of the new weapons from the Steps of Madness dungeon. I wanted to see how low I could get on the Neutrino Flash. It was going to be up over level 20 to get it 100%, so I looked into how low I could get it on and keep it 75% as well as get on the Crypt collar and Rockcrushers etc... Gun is 75% self and 100% with Assault Rifle Mastery. It's surprisingly more effective than I thought it would be. He's got good ACs and this gun does good fast damage. Will do more damage over time than a QL50 Blaster and is easier to get on. This guy is almost a match for the next guy- a lvl 10 Battlerod twink. Damage in the screenshots is all self-buffed with the gun at 75%. So, his 460 Bursts would be over 600 with AR Mastery. And you'll notice he's using some Rhinoman Armor- it's still a pretty good option for Froobs at this level, good ACs and mods, even if you don't need the Melee skill boosts.

Hammeroid- 10 Atrox Enforcer

Points of Interest: Froob, Implants up to QL91, Crypt Collar, GTA, Using Neleb's New Nightmare Battlerod.

Setup: http://auno.org/ao/equip.php?saveid=125482

My third level 10 twink in a row :). Not sure why but this seems like a good level to get a bunch of stuff on. Wanted to see how low I could get Neleb's Rod. Could probably go lower on a paid account, maybe one or two lower for Froob. Battlerod is 75% self and 100% with Brutal Thug. Even at 75% it's quite a nasty weapon at this level. Consider that it's the same damage as a Stygian and how that was generally limited to level 20ish minimum and only on Traders for the most part. Absolutely rocks the subway. This guy is actually a close fight with the previous Soldier when they're self buffed (still comes out ahead but it's not a blow-out). With them both using weapon buffs to keep out of OE, this guy kicks major butt. Does damage up to 600ish in the subway. Use this guy and the soldier for levelling new twinks real fast :). The ribbed armor is Cyborg Death Squad- all in social tab. His real armor is mostly Rhinoman.

Group photo at the end there- four level 10 twinks including Slugpumper- some mass pvp fooling around :).
