Curious what costume items people overuse.

For me it's the Demonic Bird Mask, Rock back and Fantasy back.

    The large goggles on the fore head. I absolutely LOVE that piece and have to force myself not to use it on every toon for some costume or another.

    Oh and the pulp military jacket.

    Definitely the demonic bird mask.

    EDIT : Oh, OUR most used piece. Oh, well, uh...Finned tail?

    The neck armor basic. It's kinda easy to conceal and it gives some more 'thick armor' shape to the neck without looking like a slave/dog collar.

    I try to mix it up with the colors but I still think I use that piece a wee bit too much.

    Split Tights (Wrinkled) I think it is. That, and the 'emo' hair style.

    Well, and the Motorcycle/Harajuku boots and belt. Pretty diverse on everything else, though.

    Cowl Thick
    Turbines (Small)
    Shoulder Discs

    (All three can be seen on Brigade! Two of them can be seen on Offender!)

    Side Stripe Inlay is one of my favorite and most-used tights patterns.

    I used the hell out of that on Prime for over a year before taking her back toward her old CoH kit.

    Meanwhile, I somehow find a way to use the biker jacket for damn near every toon, either as a primary kit for non-powered toons like Hitomi Hanzo, or as an off-duty wardrobe option.

    The Pulp Scarf.

    It makes a great neck wrap for making capes look more full. Now if I could get rid of the actual dangling 'scarf' bit...

    Cowls (bands on women). That 'skin' gap just doesn't look right and most neck-slot items just don't get the job done.
    ...Since 2009.

    Bunny Ears and Tail (It's so obvious, but since they are in practically every look on Bunni I really don't consider them parts anymore)

    Otherwise the Sci-Fi Boots, 90s Wavy Hair and the Armored Heavy arm accessory.

    I abuse the ancient armor on jacket glitch on nearly half my characters. And when I don't use the glitch, I still use ancient armor chest piece on nearly all my characters.

    Wings for me. I have a weakness. Only two of my characters don't have them. Now you know why the vehicles never really drew me in.

    And the tight cowl and the Clown Creepy face are essential for a skin tone reversal design so those get used a lot.

    Colossus hands paired with the old rock bracers, tendrils + alien muscle combo, unkempt short male hair, and the tesla bracers.

    I don't see myself moving away from that hairstyle, alas; there's just not many I like.

    I've always wondered if Kali has a bad case of Mileena Mouth, or if she just wants us all to think she has a bad case of Mileena Mouth.
