A place to document pipe dream implementations to add in as Mods or Features into City of Heroes.

Features

Feature: Nemesis Plot

A Cool Idea by ChrisKitsch

It turns out all of this was a nemesis plot.
Similar to the random NPC interactions during some limited events and storyarcs, this delves deeper into a possible Nemesis Plot. But maybe the real Nemesis Plot is the friends we make along the way...

Feature: NPC Hero Population

A Cool Idea by Zethfox
I would like to see if its possible to code ai logic and a system that a persons alts could be seen traveling around and sometimes engaging mobs on the streets of the appropriate level that charecter is, and can be seen entering different building and such. 
Something to create a little more life on sparsely populated servers
Plus the excitement of running into your own alt would be wonderful
There would be no gain from it except just visual, unless it could become something of a "team with your ai controlled alts" by inviting the ones you find running around to your team

NPC Heroes that fight or move around an active city map.
They can be recruited to join as an ally/sidekick/teamup A LA NPC Buddy
And they could be generated from offline player characters on the current server, or even get datafeeds/characters from other servers to populate in
Introducing a Team-Up mechanic would be very cool to have on smaller servers to give that "Team" vibe even if one is not available

New Classes/Epic Archetypes

Epic Archetype: Primalist

Complete the unfinished EAT Primalist.

Archetype: Synergist

As a Synergist you fight side by side with a summoned companion.  You excel in a tandem approach to problems and coordinate actions.

Powersets, New

Powerset: Doppleganger

by ChrisKitsch

Variation to Mastermind and their Pets, this archetype would have the ability to spawn duplicates of themselves to fight alongside them. 

Powerset: Whips

Inspired by the demonic summoning mastermind, create a weapon-based melee powerset based on Whips

Existing Powers:

Name	Level	Type	Effect(s)
Corruption	1	Ranged	Minor DMG(Fire), Foe DoT(Toxic), -Res
Lash	2	Close	High DMG(Fire), Foe -Res, Knockdown, Minor DoT(Toxic)
Crack Whip	8	Short Ranged (Cone)	High DMG(Fire), Foe -Res, Knockdown, DoT(Toxic)

Powersets for Review

Regeneration

Potential Regeneration Suggestions

Costumes

Removing Ears from heads and placing them as as separate "attachment"

Some ears cover the existing ones, and others are placed in other spots.

Large undertaking, would require alterations to the base heads that use the current ear variations, and for ALL of the head textures to be edited to remove the ears,

Possible issue with people whose costume includes wearing obviously fake ears needing both represented

Monstrous Heads

Expanding the customization of Monstrous Heads, ie: Hair, more than one option for facesets (only one Lizard for example)

Monstrous Legs

Adding the options for Skirts/Shorts or Baggy Pants for the shyer monsters out there
