@FlashbackJon's Character OCD

I love seeing threads about the collected character library of other players, and I'm probably not alone, so I figured I'd start one myself.

You can find my actual mains (the bolded entries below) on my PRIMUS page. The rest of these are concepts or one-off characters or simply exercises in costumes. I haven't taken enough screenshots of their various costumes, but I'll add as I go.

Actual Characters:
Non Characters:
All of my characters share a sort of lampshade-hanging affectionate parody theme, and I didn't realize until listing them here how many are related to WW2. Weird.

Comments, critiques, suggestions, or angry tirades encouraged!

*** Note: These characters are looking for themed RP Super Group homes, so if you have any recommendations, feel free to speak up! Z3D is perfectly happy in the Silver Age Sentinels, but the other marked characters don't mesh with the theme.

    You really like body sliders, dontcha? ;) All my characters tend to be humanoid, yours are very much not though...

    2 things: Achtung and Tartarus' links both go to the same pics, rather than 2 different costumes for each. And crop your images in paint or something, you're in a widescreen resolution taking large pictures, so they get all smooshed on most peoples' monitors.

    Yeah, I have too much fun making large robots and creatures. So much so, in fact, that I typically load a default, blank top heavy guy before I start mucking around. Yes, sometimes I feel bad about it... but then I remember how much fun it is. :D

    Re: cropping - will do! I could have photobucket do it, but I'll run the next update through a batch process.

    So I realized that I was artificially limiting my costume choices on Z3D by holding myself to my preconceived imagery as "large humanoid robot." I had four costumes that were essentially the same, aside from minor tweaks. Meanwhile, I'm constantly waffling over what I can use the Geo Set for, or X or Y pieces for, or whether or not I want to run a second Might character.

    Finally realization dawns on me... Firstly, no random player in the world is going to care how my costume correlates with my concept and backstory except my RP friends - if I want to run around as rock guy for a few hours, I should just do that. Secondly, this is a game about superhero comics! Literally anything can be explained away! And so, I finally used some of the costume pieces I've been dying to use (geo set, beast set, prison stock, etc).

    SO! Major updates to the first post. Cropped pics, new costumes, better organization, and several queries for assistance. Input desired! :D
