Well, I don't generally do costumes. Not really my thing.

But i'd be set up pretty damned well in this situation...

Earlier in the year, I was invited to a costume party and cajoled, against my better nature, into joining with three of my friends and getting a particular set of costumes...

...of a particular quartet of heroes...

...from a particular supernatural '80's movie...

...So I ask you...

...who you gonna call?

I wore the Gauntlet for an entire con once, and I seriously considered the Dresden costume for a hall costume at my last con (went Steampunk instead).

So yes.

Weeeeelllll......If we go as gods, then that is a different story. And as for my secondary costume, that of a Solar Exalted, well, they where meant to kill gods, and did, in the setting they are from...

Oooh.. there's a thought. Anyone have the jawline to dress as Saint of Killers?

Entilza · Oct 5th 2009, 5:17pm

My cousin could probably pull that off.

DogBoy · Oct 5th 2009, 5:17pm

I was thinking of going as an anime character like Tenchi or Dark Schneider.

Alternatley, I wonder what would happen if I crossdress for holloween. To explore what might happen I could go as either Lina Inverse, or Washu.

Entilza · Oct 5th 2009, 5:19pm

I was thinking of getting my two little cousins to dress up as Nanoha and Fate.

**CommanderRazor** · Oct 5th 2009, 5:44pm

I don't have any costumes per se, though I suppose I could be the ultimate munchkin and make my own character using some RPG system that conveniently happens to dress in the same sorts of clothes I do, with maybe the addition of my leather trenchcoat just to make it 'different'.

*cracks knuckles* Okay, time to get to work on creating that character...

In short...the ultimate self-insert ftw.

I would go get my siblings/cousins to go together as some sort of magic powerhouses...

Oddly enough I can jimmy a good Shrike-ish costume in a jiffy and it's about what I would wear normally..... and hope to God that I retain my humanity in some shape or form

Edit: Vanquisher, power of love man, power of love

My other option is an assault marine (Probably would go make a bastardized Salamander one)

Vanquisher221 · Oct 5th 2009, 6:09pm

A possible alternative is to buy some sort of full-body relatively form-fitting grey suit and call it a Phase Suit. You'd look like a tool before the turnover though.

gods, this has the potential to be a fun RP thread.

No, it doesn't. Too many planetbusters.

Especially with me as The Scout, most likely, as I can't find the helmet, or rifle, or shirt, or grenades-hell, the only part of the Soldier's outfit I have is the pants and boots!

Ugh. And I don't even have the hat or bat for the Scout.

Sarpedon · Oct 5th 2009, 6:54pm

Last year I went as Hei (Darker Than Black) one of my friends was Harry Dresden, and the other that ent with me was the G-man. That is suffecient realty hax to fuck up anyone's day.

Tell that to someone who doesn't have to go beneath the seas of the atlantic to sleep for dark eons in the house at R'lyeh until the stars are right. Better than the assraping half of you bastards are going to get? You bet. A good roleplay experience? Hell the fuck no.

nick012000 · Oct 5th 2009, 10:53pm

Uhh... guys? I'll point out that this happens in 1997. Most of these characters don't exist yet.

Entilza · Oct 5th 2009, 10:54pm

And the OP says this happens in 2009.

Do not apply your puny timelines to Nosgoth!

Elder(purified) Kain technically existed before fledgling vampire Kain.

Fledgling vampire Kain came to be in 1996.

So, mleh.

I would, of course, before the event look like crap in that costume.

I hope you get the brain training and ESP powers along with the brawn. Kimball will be shafted without them here.

But if you do get them, what guarantees that your personality remains?

As for me, Alucard is a good start, but there is the issue of getting souls. Looks like I'll have to start consuuming those weaker vampires, mummies and zombies when things go really wrong.

Perhaps I should dress up as a certain priest instead...

cpj1227 · Oct 6th 2009, 5:46am

Well, I've always wanted to get a Commissar outfit together. However, since this scenario's prep time ends this Halloween and since IRL I'm a bit lacking in the money department at the moment, I'm pretty much screwed unless a very cheap trenchcoat, a modified Nerf gun, and any sort of peaked cap would work for the spell's purpose. I could probably jerry-rig myself some generic gunslinging trenchcoater costume or something like that if necessary, but where would the fun in that be?

In any case, it's probably a good thing that most of the people around where I live aren't very original when it comes to Halloween- I won't have to deal with some deep-pocketed or creative joker who dressed up and was changed into a Xenomorph or a Borg drone or something else self-propagating that's more dangerous than a bog-standard werewolf or zombie. I do hope that bolter or laspistol rounds are capable of taking out werewolves, though; I have a distinct feeling that there will be more than a few running around.

That wouldn't matter either way in any case. spaceman for some reason has characters from modern anime series and such showing up in a 1997 timeframe, including Raven from the cartoon version of Teen Titans, several Narutos, and no less than three different versions of Kenpachi Zaraki.

If I ever decide to resurrect this thread sometime in the distant future, I'll probably add "no post-1997 characters" as a limitation and see what comes up.

Luckily, my avatar's exempt from that. Ness showed up in 1994-1995, and he's probably the likeliest costume I'd wear this year, if I can't find a Jedi robe. I have the prerequisites for him. Striped T-shirt, cap, jean shorts, a baseball bat, a yo-yo and a decently yellow backpack stuffed with everything of use I could find, including a lightsaber.

Ness is plenty powerful enough to deal with all but the most dangerous of threats, and the toys-becoming-real in my backpack means I have a lot of neat tools to use in battle!

I stay home as the Grim Reaper every year. HI. I'M GOING TO HAVE FUN WITH THIS.

Phi · Oct 6th 2009, 11:07pm

I've already done a Pug/Milamber costume in the past (or maybe it was Macros the Black, I forget), either way at least I'm now a ridiculously overpowered magician.

XenonPrime · Oct 7th 2009, 5:42am

Hmm, the only costume I own is a death costume with a black santa hat sewn on to the hood, the scythe also has a black bauble dangling from the tip.

It was an interesting Christmas costume party.

So I either become The Death of Christmas, The Ghost of Christmas Future, Regular Death in a Festive Mood or The Scariest Santa Claus Ever.

I wonder if the various Deaths running around will be separate entities or merely aspects of agreater Death entity?
It certainly can't be good for the world to have so many Grim Reapers around.
