    Who shall Weatherlight cosplay as? Serious posts only.

    I've been thinking and researching on this a bit and am thinking about doing a cosplay costume. The only problem is... I have four different characters that I could impersonate. There are pros and cons to them all.

    Alucard
    Alucard would probably be the hardest of the four. I can find pictures of his entire entourage, but assembling such a thing would be most taxing. However, this said, it would probably be the most rewarding character. I have not decided whether or not I should do the long or short haired version. If I do long, it will be with the hat, if it it short, no hat. The hat is kickass.

    Alexander Anderson (Judas Priest)
    This is the character I closest resemble. Somewhat easier to make than Alucard's theme, there are still hitches. One big problem is that I am no where near as tall as he is. Since his height seems to change every other scene, it may not be a problem.

    Vincent Valentine
    Easily the second hardest. The dress in and of itself is somewhat simple. Properly crafting the armored claw will be interesting, but his clothes are pretty plain. The con with this character is detail. With Alucard, I can find every detail of his attire in some scene or another... but Vincent's clothes are harder to pin. Few scenes in FFVII have detail shots of him. Most pictures I can find are the horrible ingame renderings of his character model. Also, there is a problem of the Advent Children Vincent Valentine. All the characters have changed, so should I do the classic, or the revamped version?

    Jigen Daisuke
    Oldschool, easy, badass. Nuff said.

    Vincent is hot in a dark, brooding way. If you do Vincent, I want pictures to see how well you pull it off.

    For starters, if you cosplay, I may have to deny knowing you. Also... why does Jigen Daisuke sound *so* familiar to me?

    For those of us who are lazy, mind posting a pic of each?

    In either event, I vote Vincent. One, because I think he's cool. And two, he's the only one of the above you listed that I know.

However, when I look at their GamerScores online and see that they don't even have the cojones to get all 1000 points from EA's Fight Night Round 3, I know that I'm better than them, not just as a gamer, but as a human being as well." - Achievements Anonymous

    I've never seen an Alucard bearing a cap, but I think he'd be the coolest. I only know two of those(Vincent and Alucard), but Alucard's always a winner to me. Just out of curiosity, where exactly is ure Alucard from? I've watched some old Dracula movies, and I think Alucard appeared in one of them i watched, I've played Castlevania: Sotn a lot, and Gunbird 2 a little, but none of them have a cap.

    Just for the anti-cosplay, I have always laughed at the idiots at the (now dead, RIP) cosplay hell website. God forbid I become as disgusting as those, but I think it would be great to show up somewhere in full Alucard attire. Hell, I would even get the gun kits to have the entire set.

    And don't worry, if I do this thing... I will do it right. Instead of buying a cheap (and disgusting looking) wig, I would grow my hair and dye it to match the character I do. Attention to detail.

    I'd go with Vincent, but that's just my taste.
