OOC: For the image one, please post an image of your character in the thread! Clarification: Original artwork please. Each of your characters counts as a different person.

 

[Samael]

(I'm not exactly sure I read that right. Each character counts as a different person? In other words, our characters are dressing up and posting their images?)

A promotional event seems interesting. Sam might never actually be a real Captain, so now was the perfect time to dress-up and pretend he was an officer of some sort. Not a real officer, of course--that would be illegal. He'll just have to make-up a fake uniform.

Sam put on a yellow sweater, black pants, black sock, and black boots. It didn't really look like much of a uniform. Something was missing, so he cut out a fake insignia from a tin can and glued it to the upper left side of the front of his shirt. No one will know what rank he is supposed to be. But, if anyone asks, he will say he's a Captain from a far away land.

Misato ginned before stepping before the camera, she had worked on her costume in her free time. She wasn't sure she was entirely pleased with the idea, but Bors claimed it would look really good on her.

 

[Luca]

Something about Danny's choice of costume drew him towards it. He identified with the character. There he was in a satin jacket with a faint cross-pattern stitched into it. On the back of it was a golden scorpion. Black pants, driver's gloves, piercing blue eyes and a mallet he found out back - never being fond of using blunt instruments when push came to shove.

Danny himself worked for and with shady people with questionable goals in the past that added into a horrible greater strange or into someone else's grubby hands. But that did not make him a bad person himself... did it? He was just the Sneaker - and that's what he was good at. A real human being, and a real hero when the chips were down.

"If I take someone back for you, you give me a time and a place. I give you a five-minute window for extraction, anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours no matter what. I don't sit while you're running it down; I do not to kill unless provoked... I search and rescue."

(if I could draw or had a friend who could draw I would of done artwork but I guess a text of it will have to do)

Taharial came out of the back room her wings and hair dyed black, contacts in her eyes that made her eye look pure white with a dark purple lipstick and make-up, she wore a dress that started at her waist and trailed behind her and a bra that didn't have shoulder straps. When ask why she wore this Taharial responded with 'I am the fallen angel Morgana' and giggled.

Embel entered the room dressed in a torn up school girl outfit with make up that made her look like a zombie with deep fake wounds, blood and contacts one pure white the other pure black, she made it so she looked like she had part of a missing jaw and a bite mark on her tail that looked infected.

 

[Wes]

Taharial was shipped a container with the following random salvage:

Stack of Car Tires (Halloween, TC: 45-64, IC: 2937-2361-104)
Bunch of Backpacks and Bags (Halloween, TC: 17-29, IC: 533-1130-45)

 

[Nashoba]

Since Katae had some time to kill while the Aeon was being worked on. She went to the shops on the Kyoten and collected what she needed to make her costume.
It was from one of her favorite movies as a girl Sorceress Inazuma. Her red outfit with gold trim was as close as she could get. A purple wig and some pink spray to color her ears. A toy staff completed her look.

 

[Syaoran]

While Tanja appreciated a good party and other social events she never was the kind of person to get too fancy with dressing up. That was different now, cause Veronica insisted that she wear a costume that she looked good in. The first part was probably the most annoying however. Veronica insisted that Tanja get extensions in her hair and then put them in neat dreadlocks that were kept up in a pony tail. A wig wouldn't do. Then she put on contacts so her eyes looked sapphire blue and did not glow anymore. Which was then followed up with blue eye shadow and lipstick.

Her out fit was a long purple and pink dress with a spider decoration and detached sleeves with belted straps on them. Originally she was supposed to wear heels with it, but Tanja conceded enough putting on the dress, so she put on some black heeled boots and called it a day. Her costume as the spider queen was complete.

 

[Nashoba]

Sune entered the room wearing a costume that was inspired by a program that the youngsters he knew aboard the Bouken. He was dressed up as the Space Pirate Warlock. He did not fully understand how a pirate was supposed to be a hero, but the young ones enjoyed it. It had been a while since he had the opportunity to participate in the annual event. The last time he was wearing a dress.

An homage to the first Anime I saw outside of the US. Captain Harlock, made for interesting entertainment in the UK.

 

[Yoshi]

Freyja stood there before the camera and sighed, before screwing her face up into a confident look. "Quick! take it..."

 

[Floodwaters]

Sienna felt ridiculous. She did not at all want to be there, as there was still so much work to do on and around her ship she barely had time to sleep, let alone attend some silly party with a bunch of people she didn't know, and didn't care to know. Worse, she was there in costume, as some stupid fairy tale princess from a forgotten footnote in ancient culture in some far-flung corner of the galaxy. But for some inexplicable reason, she had felt compelled to do it, as if some unseen, otherworldly force was manipulating her as if she were some kind of puppet. She couldn't explain it, but she couldn't very well fight it either.

She had even gone so far as to artificially color her hair and induce it grow rapidly in preparation with a genetic and vitamin treatment, as her usual short auburn hair was somehow inappropriate for the character she was dressed as. Braiding was never her thing either, but she had paid someone a paltry sum to dress it up in such a way, and let it elegantly fall over her shoulder. The ice-blue dress was far more formal than what she typically wore, and while she outwardly professed to feel more than a little uncomfortable, even idiotic in such an impractical garment, she secretly kind of liked the way the sleek gown looked on her, even if it and her now-bright-blonde hair clashed with her greenish-brown eyes. Miniature capsules were hidden in the palms of her gloves that allowed her to throw brilliantly sparkling clouds of dust that glittered in the air like enchanted ice crystals, and rapidly disintegrated on contact with the ground so as to minimize the mess she made doing so.

With a sigh, she shook her head and entered the room. The sooner she got this over with, the sooner she could go back to work.

 

[Semjax]

Meiko comes out and smiles, she didn't mind dressing up especially for a holiday as good as Halloween! She had decided to do her best to make a costume that fit a more modern kung-fu like master made from the inspiration of the older movies she watched.

[Syaoran]

Yori walked in wearing what could only be described as a "red sexy sailor outfit" complete with black and white heeled shoes and white and grey stripped over knee socks for a perfect Zettai Rouiki. She had on a fiery red wig and red contacts with slip pupils as well to give her a bit of a wild look. To complete the costume she put on a pair of matching cat ears and at her waist she draped a sword to match. What was she exactly? Well if anyone got close enough they could read "NH-37 Prototype" embroidered into the collar and cuffs.

[Yoshi]

Tony walked out of the darkness of the aft cabins of the Eucharis, dress in her outfit. in a Cloud of Mist she found her prey and dragged it back to her lair.

 

[Semjax]

Hugar had just learned in the last 9 years of freedom about this thing called 'Halloween', he found it quite amusing so he decided to partake now that he was somewhat free of restrictions to do so. He had decided to dress up a Vampire! Do not judge to harshly, as it is his first Halloween!

 

[Gunsight1]

Momoka popped into existence, having spent much time deciding on a costume. She chose to dress up as an epic space pirate from some cheesy cartoon series she had seen some time ago, Eye patch and all!

 

[Foxtrot 813]

Desmond stood before the camera, sneering behind the salvaged Styrling Muur helmet that he had modified for this as he struck a pose for the picture. The costume was, at one point, someone's gear, but it had fallen so deep in disrepair that it served more as a silly costume. At least with it, people wouldn't be able to see his face, but free salvage was free salvage.

He tried to dress as some famous bounty hunter from something he had watched a long time ago; the salvaged Muur was painted green, while two of the forearm plates were modified to look like a flamethrower and a mini-missile launcher. The main weapon itself was a modified HHG with a wooden stock, long barrel and a scope for a longer range.
