# 1 All Walks of Life: New Stances and Running Animations

A small thing, but I think it might be a good idea to add new stances and corresponding running animations to character creation. Just to add some more flavor aside from combat. Here are a few I've thought up:

-Levitation: like how the Red Banner wizards always float when moving but never speed up to full on flight when moving. When dealing when TPs like Acrobatics or speed, your character could lean forward, halfway between hover and flying. Sometimes I don't wanna fly, I just wanna float at lazy speeds.

-Zombie Stance/Walk: enemies have it. We have the costume set. Why cant we hobble along like an undead serial killer?

-REAL Heroic stance: I mean classic, old-fashioned, fits at hips, "look at me, I'm a beacon of hope" Superman pose. Not just spreading your legs and making two fists :p

Any thoughts (or other suggestions) are more than welcome. :)

I've always wanted a cross between the current bestial and huge poses I know we have bestial huge currently but its really just a tweaked version of huge.

What I;m after is a pose that has you in the huge pose while ideal and switches to the bestial movement animation. Think a kind of gorilla/giant ape type thing

1. Sadly I think that the levitation that the Red Banner wizards have not a unique form of movement, but a permanently active flight power. It is probably like how flying mobs work, they all fly but never speed up to full speed that PCs can probably because of their coding (full speed can only be reached out of combat, and I think that mobs are always in combat).
2. Yes, yes, and more yes.
3. No offense, but that stance is already in City of Heroes/Villains, and I think Cryptic doesn't want to copy their old work (yes yes know, they made a super hero mmo after their first, but they made it more action oriented, unlike City of Heroes which is at its core a fantasy MMO with a comic book paintjob and a lack of an equipment system)

I still think they should add the shadow stance from the shadow clones they had

Fair point about the heroic pose.

As for Levitation, I think a better point I should have made was that we do have two becomes (Demon and Djinn) which always hover. While it appears they have no legs, you can see leg outlines whenever they suffer an effect like clinging flames.
