"MUHAHAHAHAAA! At last, I've done it! I've created my ultimate lieutenant!"
"Doctor, what on earth?! Even by my standards, that thing's messed up."
"He can latch on to his foes to not only drain their blood, but also store their DNA to mutate himself!"
"He isn't even half as tall as me, let alone White Rhino. I don't see how-"
"Idiot Swine! He will use the vital fluids he sucks from his foes to mutate himself and become a mightier beast! A few days in the wild hunt of my island, and he'll be UNSTOPPABLE!"
"...Right. I'm sure VIPER will totally not redact their offer after this. Frankly, this is an even worse idea than Chimera."
Strange Visitor claims his name to be unpronounceable despite the fact that his diction of any Earth language is absolutely impeccable. His meta-powers seem to be a combination of mind and the alien technology he brought with him. He is quite content to work with heroes of all kinds and seem able to sense hints of dangers from the future. In fact, he says that his arrival on Earth was because he felt that Earth was about the be invaded by an insect-like invader (he seemed to not know their name and only learned the name Qularr from the first humans he encountered).
You will need the Variety Pack for this one. I'll try to add a cap soon.

(Requires: Steelhawk set (chest wear), Roin'esh set (shoulder), Archer set (torso, arm accessory, bracer, belt, trousers, boots, belt accessory, neck cape), Exclusive Art Deco shoulderpad)
Being a bit cheeky here, as this began life as Velis3's Silvemira Starfall. I really liked the shoulderpad, but wanted to integrate it into a larger piece of armour, as well as unify the colour scheme somewhat. So Silverhawk is still an elven archer, but with a stronger bird motif this time around. Hope you're not too pissed off, Velis!
This elf once worked for * you-know-who * at the North Pole. But Then Argent showed up. It only took three oil spills and five chemical spill to get this elf's ire up enough for him to him to put Argent on the VERY Naughty list. Will uses winter attacks mostly, but has been know to toss a few toys in to the mix to throw Argent soldiers of balance.

GREETINGS!!
This week I bring you Quazar. Using an alloy obtained from a meteorite, he created armor that absorbs and amplifies solar radiation (UV rays). It is then converted to energy that can be used in many ways:
Weapons (fire, ice, plasma)
Shields
Enhanced abilities (strength, speed, etc)
And other, as yet, unexplored uses
That sums up what we know about Quazar, as he seems to wish to remain a mystery.
Quazar
Ok, that's it, the show is over. Nothing to see here except this text, at least until I stop typing and then it's
November 15 - Renee
Small Vixen warrior who was the 2nd niece of Kanos, the wolf shaman. In rage at him for not giving her a birthday present, she decided to cut off his arm while drugging him with a poison that made him highly susceptible to subconscious suggestion, which lead to him believing that he lost his arm in a wood chipper accident. To this day she still runs free, using her blade and poison to make a bunch of people believe they lost limbs in random backyard activities.

Nope, not mad, quite the opposite actually. I'm pleased that you liked my costume enough to tweak it. I really like the color scheme, however there is one thing I want to point out. Unless your images are reversed or you somehow found a way to hold the bow in the right hand, the archer gauntlet and bracer are on the wrong hands.
What? Too much critique? It's a good thing I didn't mention the eyes being more human than elvish...
*facepalm* The circlet, the circlet... why didn't I think of that? That is the one piece I was missing. It definitely helps cover up some of the forehead real estate.
Now for a bit of a challenge. If you, or anyone for that matter, can actually make Chromatica look good, then I will consider that person a costume god.

Granted, it's been a long time since I last used a bow, but I think I got it right? The bracer should be on the left wrist because that's where the bowstring is going to snap back - and it is. I know the arm accessory is also called a bracer in this case but I call bull**** on that as the bracer-bracer that she's got on her left wrist now has far better protection.
Also, there's such a thing as elvish-looking eyes?
(Requires: Project Clockwork Armor set (chest wear), Steel Shadow set (belt), Spartan Armor set (hips layer, cape), Alien Gladiator Pauldron (shoulderpad), Nephelim Bracer)
While the circuitry design is a little off, the Project Clockwork Armour turns out to fit a fantasy theme pretty well. Nice to have a bit more variation in armour styles.

"In my homeland there the greatest order of warriors are called the Indefatigable, for they are truly tireless in battle, only stopping when the last of their enemies are slain. They bear allegiance to no throne, and will not bend to the temptation of coin. They are the only order that will admit women among their ranks, and these are some of the most deadly of their order. My brothers and I were privileged to witness the Indefatigable take the field at the Battle of Sunter's Cliff, where they broke the King's lines within less than an hour and brought him, chained and humbled, before the Council before the sun had set. The Indefatigable are truly a force to be feared."

Thanks both! I suspect Brienne would scoff a bit at the impracticality of some of it though. A purple cloak over the armour? Totally more Ser Loras's style.
This week's entry (Nov. 21st) isn't exactly a hero and not quite a villain either. She is Weeping Death, an Assassin of Justice, righting the world's wrongs, one death at a time. Think a little bit Dexter but without the need to kill.
Silent, faceless... she is the embodiment of Death, perhaps Hell come to claim it's own. Like a breath of wind she appears, eliminates her target and is gone again, a ghost. The select few who have seen her (and not been a target) tell of her mask, adorned with a single red teardrop. This is believed to be a representation of the name given to her, that of Weeping Death, and the tales claim that she weeps tears of blood for every life she takes.
Everything else about her is a mystery and should remain so. It is wise not to dig too deep into the affairs of assassins....
Weeping Death
That's it for another week. Seeing as how next week is Thanksgiving, I might try my hand at a holiday themed costume. Anyone interested in a ninja zombie pilgrim...?
I suspect Brienne would scoff a bit at the impracticality of some of it though. A purple cloak over the armour? Totally more Ser Loras's style.
Well, of course, you take the cloak off before running into combat. I bet a lot of legionaries, well documented cloak and poncho wearers, removed their ponchos before battle in cold, wet climates. The paenula, made of water repellent wool, was worn for warmth and to keep water and rust from their armor.
But never mind, I'm getting the thread way off topic here. Back to the costumes!
November 22: Ouroboros "They were wrong to dispose of me - to silence my voice, and leave me for dead. They were not foolish, I was simply lucky to make it out alive with what I knew.
It cost me a lot, but I'm not about to die lying down. I know my way around the battlefield, and I simply wasn't made for civilian life. Now they'll see - For VIPER, I am their weak link; The chink in the armor; the fangs of the serpent, that will sink their teeth into their own tail. I am Ouroboros."
Professor Zeth Grenn is responsible for this creation. One night, after watching a Transformers movie marathon, while eating KFC, he fell asleep. The idea came to him, in a dream, and when he awoke, he just had to build a robot in the form of a chicken. Perhaps it is this Professor Zeth Grenn who is responsible for all of these strange robot/creature combinations we have been seeing so much of in the RenCen. Then again, there are many other mad roboticists in the city and the world.
Costume Set(s) needed: The Halloween Animal Heads & Masks
I used The Soldier Arch for this so that a chicken/robot/hero could fire eggs (ping-pong balls) at bad guys. But it's a chicken so have any kind of heroic fun you'd like.
(Requires: Dark Ages Fantasy set (chest), Steel Shadow set (belt), Heroic Formal set (neck))
I really struggled this week. I've got a couple of different ideas on the go, but neither were working out. So I'm afraid in end I put them on hold until I get them worked out, and in the mean time pulled a costume out of the bank. Here's Lisbeth, in full Elizabethan regalia.

Above links to be edited/updated/back filled until December 31, 2014 ( and perhaps just a little bit after )
This 100 % shiny metal hero brings in the criminals with electricity.
As a lover of caped heroes I wanted to at least experiment with wings, but since I'm on a robot kick, I decided to combined the two. It's all metallic and shiny and pings with brightness, thanks to the free Invulnerability Aura. I know that it has only two colors, steel and very few little light blue bits and light blue lines.
Looks really good both hovering and in flight.
ARC could easily mean Tempest death from above or Angel could Radiant life from above.
This week's entry has a Thanksgiving theme (sort of) with a dash of the previous holiday, Halloween, plus a small degree of the silly thrown in to keep things real... yeah, something like that.
Nathan Blackthorne was one of the settlers who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to establish the Plymouth Colony (present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts) in 1620. What the other pilgrims didn't know is that Nathan was a warlock, sent to protect them in this new land. Keeping his magic a secret, he used his powers to help the colonists survive, even thrive. His magic also slowed his aging, thus forcing him to move on once a decade or so.
In 1692, Nathan arrived in Salem, Massachusetts... and you can probably see where this is going. Whether he was observed using magic or not is unknown, but nevertheless, he was branded a witch and thrown into prison. He was placed on trial and, refusing to confess, found guilty of practicing witchcraft. Wasting no time, he was taken outside and hanged. After that, things got really interesting.
Nathan awoke in a pine box, in the process of being buried. Forcing his way out (and giving the gravedigger fuel for weeks of nightmares) he fled into the night. He remained hidden for years, surrounded by questions with no answers. Did he really die? If so, then who or what brought him back? Having used his magic for decades to protect people, was he the one it was now protecting? Regardless, Nathan knew one thing for certain... people still needed protection. For the next couple of centuries he continued to help people, only now he did it from the shadows.
Enter the modern day, the age of super-powered villains wreaking havoc across the globe. Organizations for global dominance have sprung up, masquerading as corporations or rallying behind the image of a snake.
Beings from other worlds attack our cities and the dead rise at the command of a monster. Nathan now sees his true duty, the reason he is still alive. To protect the people he must stop this evil, not by leading the charge of every battle, but by training those who would follow in his footsteps.
One lone warlock cannot save the day but an army of warlocks... well, that would be a force to be reckoned with. Yes?
Right now, you're probably wondering about his attire. Nathan doesn't go anywhere without his lucky hat, seeing as how he was almost buried with it. The shackles and noose he continues to wear, as a reminder that magic always comes with a price. As for his clothes... well, Nathan remains convinced that Disco will eventually make a comeback. Yep, stranger things have happened...
Nathan Blackthorne
Until next week, when I shall endeavor to... make... another... costume...
P.S. Wow, I just realized how wordy this entry was!:redface:
First, thank you all for stepping up and trying to help.
themightydork:
Great costumes and posted to Photobucket, so the CC found them just fine. Worm head with antlers - who does that? TMD does.
chaelk:
Those are some creative costumes. I can post those for you if you need me to. Do you have preference for which you would prefer to share? Post two or three or four names of costumes you are most proud of and I will post them and also make absolutely certain folks understand that I did not create them. Promise.
{ holds up a Boy Scout, three finger, salute }
eiledon:
Thanks for the contribution. You are still better with those fiddly bits than I will ever be.
pallihwtf and mrhinkypunk:
Those look great, but tinypic seems to make changes to the file names and they immediately become unseen in the CC and thus not useable in the CC. So sorry. I do not use Tinypic so cannot help you with that problem.
Can anyone else help these guys with how to post a CO Hero File from tinypic so that will remain a useable CO Hero File file?
Here's my plant I made when the pieces first came out:
It looks like with Tinypic there is no way to retain the original file name, but thankfully it doesn't do anything silly like strip out the custom 'costume' file header that CO adds.
In order to make the file CO readable again all I did was open the file in notepad, take note of the details in the header {which looks like this CostumeV5 "Mrhinkypunk_ Imp ") and renamed the jpg file to something more appropriate (Costume_Mrhinkypunk_Imp.jpg instead of RandomNumber.jpg) and CO picked it up fine.
Now not everyone is going to want to do that so here you go: Costume File
Unfortunately I could not do the same for Pallihwtf's submission as the file has been stripped of it's original CO header perhaps during the upload process of whichever host they use.
Inspired by recent Spider-Verse variation on existing characters and using the same layer technique Liath uses in his Pulp Fighter to create different chest 'tights' options I present..

Shame about the lost data from Pallihwtf's costume file.
Remember when I had to replace all of the costumes I had posted up through Google/Picasa? Same kind of thing except it was about 30 files I had to re-upload to Photobucket. :redface:
Now I just need to hear back from chaelk for a favorite (or two) then we will have every costume post we need. Beyond that it's all gravy.

some are characters, some are nemesis, some are wiped characters, some are WTH was I thinking at the time.
People can use whatever they want. I know someone has already used Hopes arabian costume, about 2 weeks after I did it. Identical colour scheme and all.
Some of the costumes, like the clown tights, I have no idea where I go them.
heres Petal, my oddball plant/bone armour/dryad costume
(Requires: Shining Knight set (chest wear), Archer set (torso), Bird People veteran reward set (shoulders), Cosmic Knight set (neck), Steel Shadow set (arm accessories), Nephilim large bracers unlock, Dragon armour belt unlock)
About time I used the cosmic knight neck piece (shame it can't be in the collars category). And you can't see it in the picture, but the cape's black on the outside and red on the inside. I really like doing that - it's proper classy like.

It's all metallic and shiny and pings with brightness, thanks to the free Invulnerability Aura. I know that it has only two colors, steel and very few little light blue bits and light blue lines.
Looks really good both hovering and in flight.
ARC could easily mean Tempest death from above or Angel could Radiant life from above.
This week's entry has a Thanksgiving theme (sort of) with a dash of the previous holiday, Halloween, plus a small degree of the silly thrown in to keep things real... yeah, something like that.
Nathan Blackthorne was one of the settlers who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to establish the Plymouth Colony (present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts) in 1620. What the other pilgrims didn't know is that Nathan was a warlock, sent to protect them in this new land. Keeping his magic a secret, he used his powers to help the colonists survive, even thrive. His magic also slowed his aging, thus forcing him to move on once a decade or so.
In 1692, Nathan arrived in Salem, Massachusetts... and you can probably see where this is going. Whether he was observed using magic or not is unknown, but nevertheless, he was branded a witch and thrown into prison. He was placed on trial and, refusing to confess, found guilty of practicing witchcraft. Wasting no time, he was taken outside and hanged. After that, things got really interesting.
Nathan awoke in a pine box, in the process of being buried. Forcing his way out (and giving the gravedigger fuel for weeks of nightmares) he fled into the night. He remained hidden for years, surrounded by questions with no answers. Did he really die? If so, then who or what brought him back? Having used his magic for decades to protect people, was he the one it was now protecting? Regardless, Nathan knew one thing for certain... people still needed protection. For the next couple of centuries he continued to help people, only now he did it from the shadows.
Enter the modern day, the age of super-powered villains wreaking havoc across the globe. Organizations for global dominance have sprung up, masquerading as corporations or rallying behind the image of a snake.
Beings from other worlds attack our cities and the dead rise at the command of a monster. Nathan now sees his true duty, the reason he is still alive. To protect the people he must stop this evil, not by leading the charge of every battle, but by training those who would follow in his footsteps.
One lone warlock cannot save the day but an army of warlocks... well, that would be a force to be reckoned with. Yes?
Right now, you're probably wondering about his attire. Nathan doesn't go anywhere without his lucky hat, seeing as how he was almost buried with it. The shackles and noose he continues to wear, as a reminder that magic always comes with a price. As for his clothes... well, Nathan remains convinced that Disco will eventually make a comeback. Yep, stranger things have happened...

Until next week, when I shall endeavor to... make... another... costume...
P.S. Wow, I just realized how wordy this entry was!:redface:

I have it set up as a slideshow but can't work out how to link it.
Most of mine are plain or just clothes.

Here's my plant I made when the pieces first came out:

themightydork:
Great costumes and posted to Photobucket, so the CC found them just fine. Worm head with antlers - who does that? TMD does.
chaelk:
Those are some creative costumes. I can post those for you if you need me to. Do you have preference for which you would prefer to share? Post two or three or four names of costumes you are most proud of and I will post them and also make absolutely certain folks understand that I did not create them. Promise.

eiledon:
Thanks for the contribution. You are still better with those fiddly bits than I will ever be.
pallihwtf and mrhinkypunk:
Those look great, but tinypic seems to make changes to the file names and they immediately become unseen in the CC and thus not useable in the CC. So sorry. I do not use Tinypic so cannot help you with that problem.
Can anyone else help these guys with how to post a CO Hero File from tinypic so that will remain a useable CO Hero File file?
Well if Batgirl doesn't work for you, how about sort of a Nightwing look?
I present to you, the American Bald Eagle.
It looks like with Tinypic there is no way to retain the original file name, but thankfully it doesn't do anything silly like strip out the custom 'costume' file header that CO adds.
In order to make the file CO readable again all I did was open the file in notepad, take note of the details in the header {which looks like this CostumeV5 "Mrhinkypunk_ Imp ") and renamed the jpg file to something more appropriate (Costume_Mrhinkypunk_Imp.jpg instead of RandomNumber.jpg) and CO picked it up fine.
Now not everyone is going to want to do that so here you go:
Unfortunately I could not do the same for Pallihwtf's submission as the file has been stripped of it's original CO header perhaps during the upload process of whichever host they use.
Also a note for users of photobucket to prevent file name scrambling that would break shared CO files: http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/200724764-How-to-turn-off-filename-scrambling

Thanks for making the fix, eiledon.
Shame about the lost data from Pallihwtf's costume file.
Remember when I had to replace all of the costumes I had posted up through Google/Picasa? Same kind of thing except it was about 30 files I had to re-upload to Photobucket. :redface:
Now I just need to hear back from chaelk for a favorite (or two) then we will have every costume post we need. Beyond that it's all gravy.
People can use whatever they want. I know someone has already used Hopes arabian costume, about 2 weeks after I did it. Identical colour scheme and all.
Some of the costumes, like the clown tights, I have no idea where I go them.
heres Petal, my oddball plant/bone armour/dryad costume

Here are two costumes I no longer use. One's normal, the other is...odd.

Looks fine to me on the CC. Maybe I'm missing some of those parts and the CC replaces them for me with visible one.
(Requires: Shining Knight set (chest wear), Archer set (torso), Bird People veteran reward set (shoulders), Cosmic Knight set (neck), Steel Shadow set (arm accessories), Nephilim large bracers unlock, Dragon armour belt unlock)
About time I used the cosmic knight neck piece (shame it can't be in the collars category). And you can't see it in the picture, but the cape's black on the outside and red on the inside. I really like doing that - it's proper classy like.

Aye, I may have sinned, caused crimes against my people, but I seek forgiveness... compassion. The Templars... they have no room in their hearts for such things. Just.... justice."
