June 20th, 2013 - Today is a very sad day for anyone who used to play City of Heroes on the Virtue Server and for those who knew Ascendant/Ascendant's Player. Still, there are many who were not on that server who knew of him as well. Today, one of the most beloved characters on our server and in the game, and a very dear friend to me and so many others, passed away after a lengthy illness. I received the shocking news a few hours ago and I think many of us are still in that state of shock over it. He was one of the most creative role-players and writers I had ever met, and heavens could that man make you laugh. I was blessed to have shared nine years of friendship, in and out of game. Countless moments of game play and joint stories over the years as my character's best friend, his love interest as the one who got away. Too many memories, in fact, to name.

I know I am not the only person on Elliquiy who used to play CoH/CoV. But I am not entirely sure if there are any former Virtue players here, or players who knew of him that, like so many of us, will miss this man and his characters. But if there are, I thought you would want to know. My heart goes out to his family in their time of grief.

God speed my friend! You are flying with Angels now.

Sadly, I don't think I ever met him, for all that I played CoH/CoV for the vast majority of time it was out.  Then again, I didn't end up on Virtue until after CoV came out, and played exclusively redside after that.  But still, I'd heard of Ascendant in passing at least, and I am sorry to hear about the loss of him.

My Hero server was...  I think, Guardian.  Not sure which was my Villain one, but I knew of Ascendant.  Great guy all 'round.  May he rest in peace.

So I make a A&A thread but do I put it here?  No.  Of course not.

Ascendant was there when I started to play and helped me on almost all my quests, he was the kind of guy that didn't want anyone to fail and that meant the world to me. I hope his family will be ok.

I played a LITTLE on Virtue.. I was mostly on Victory with Callie (my Broadsword/Regen scrapper) and Valerie Dobson (my SS/Invuln tanker) and I THINK I ran into Ascendent once or twice.

Condolences, he sounds like he was a great guy. The "Ascendant O's" routine gives a wonderful snapshot of his sense of humour, I'm sure he would've been excellent to know. Sorry for your loss.

It's players like this that give me some inkling of why some people were so attached to CoX. I never really ran into players like Ascendant while I was playing, even on Virtue, so I never really got what pulled people into it. Things like seeing that guy on the phone? That's some great atmosphere for the game that the game itself lacks.

Big loss, I'm sure. :|
