Yes. Halloween were children are encouraged to dress up as who-knows-what and go out searching for candy and possibly nocturnal hijinks. More mature people might go out for the evening to chaperone their kids as they go door-to-door screaming "Trick-or-Treat". They might even have a fun party or hootnanny to attend after hours.
Enjoyment of the season comes from a variety of sources, but each one requires one thing. Participation. Finding the spirit within to break free of the day-to-day ordinary and letting the natural become... super.
Heroes Rising has several opportunities to do just that. Let loose of the everyday restraints and do something with a bit of the care-free nature of childhood. Have some fun, earn some rewards, and build some memories with friends.
1) The Halloween Costume contest: This will be the third occurrence of the Heroes Rising Character Costume contest. Spare yourself a few moments and try to channel your inner hero by dressing up as them. Here is the post from the Heroes Rising Player Page:
Heroes Rising Costume Contest – 3,000 Free Morphons and a personalized card!
Halloween 2021 calls for EXTRA reasons to dress up. Grab a snap shot of your in-game hero and then dress like them. It doesn’t have to be professional cosplaying, use what you can to become your hero. A bedsheet makes a great cape, ask any five year old. When you are happy with your costume, take a pic of yourself and post it to Facebook along with a pic of your hero.
You will be entered to win fabulous prizes and the adoration of all the civilians of the world. (Just tell yourself that some people applaud by laughing, that always helps me.)
Post your pictures in this thread, both images (your costume and your toon) in one comment.
These will be the only allowed comments on this thread to keep things easy to judge.
Keep pics pg-13 for the sake of Facebook (We don’t want to be put in Facebook jail.)
If you entered last year, your costume must be upgraded for this year. (We still have the pics from last year, so we know if you just re-use an old photo. A NEW costume and photo.)
All honest attempts will receive from 100 to 2,000+ Morphons just for entering.
First Prize - 3,000 MP. There will be 2nd, 3rd, etc prizes too, depending on how many entries there are. Nick plans to give away a lot of Morphons for this, be sure to get yours!
The top five (roughly) entries will receive a free personalized card with your photo, as pictured. (The stats will either be the same as this, or higher in value.)
Remember, this is all for fun...so by all means have fun.
2) Coloring Event: Carving jack-o-lanterns was always fun, and taking a bit of time to color some of Dan Peyton's art is an opportunity to follow in that tradition. Us his provided images to display your inner creativity. And it comes with rewards. Here is a link to the original These City Streets post.
3) Strange Quark's Duck Kaiju Fan-Fiction Contest: Several people have already entered, but there is still time to enter into this special Duck-tastic event with some great rewards. Read all about it here.

4) Ongoing or New Fan-Fiction Stories on the Fiction Forum: Under the Community Tab on the Heroes Rising main page, you can find the Fiction Forum. Heroes Rising is a world full of heroes, but nobody knows who you are unless you take some time to tell us your stories. Sure, you may have a cool font for your character name and win some medals in League Wars or Events, but who is your hero? Is your Bio page filled out on your Profile page or are you a name only with no substance behind the letters that make it up?
The Fiction Forum gives everyone the opportunity to flesh out your character and let other players get to know them. There are rewards for posting in the forum and if you ever enjoyed role-playing, there are players out there who love to world-build. The forum is a place to work with them and bring the powers and character you've created into the world for others to enjoy. You never know where the next big super will come from.
5) League Wars 10: Coming soon. The arena is being prepared. Prizes are being forged. What thrills can we expect from the latest brawl between the leagues? So far we've seen leagues come and go, rise and fall, and opportunity about to knock once again for some players to capture GOLD.
Will it be you?
Have a happy month everyone. For those of you who were here last year, Halloween introduced a fun, new event for all to participate in. Will it happen again this year? I guess you're just going to have to continue to show up to find out? Until then, have some fun. And put a costume piece on you character, if nothing else. Avatars like some attention too...
