I worked on a new version of
Runriot for Turkey Lurkey
:
Original Bio:
Andrea Rhyatt always loved speed. Her mother used to joke that she was only in labor with Andrea for 45 minutes. By the time she was old enough to walk, Andrea was running, and whoa be to anyone who tried to get her to slow down or sit still. By age 5, she discovered her love for fast cars, by 11 she was stealing them, often leading police on city-wide chases. But soon the thrill of her motorized mayhem wore off. She desired the speed for herself, not rely on a vehicle to provide it for her. So at age 18, she particpated in a series of experiments with nanotechnology and cybernetics to give her that speed. Now, as Runriot, she's running again, all throughout the Rogue Isles, looking for that next big thrill.
------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Add-on to the Bio:
At age 18, Rhyatt easily fell in with the Freakshow. After all, both shared a taste for punk rock, chaos, reckless abandon, and, oh yes, cybernetic improvement. The Freaks offered the quickest fix for Runriots need for speed and, after several months of manipulating a meat doctor, she had her very own pair of cybernetic legs designed for her addiction. Even though associated with the Freakshow, she strikes out on her own and fulfills master plans of her creation; she wants her name to stand alone as the fastest speedster in the Rogue Isles
possibly even the world.

New Runriot
Costume Analysis:
When given Runriots background both in the pm and in the caption under her DA reference, I immediately thought to connect her to the Freakshow someway; seemed like a match made in heaven. While I deviated significantly from her original outfit, I did keep certain aspects in mind. The bottoms of the original costume reminded me of the pieces of a red sports cars twisted exterior accenting her legs
I wanted to keep with that theme and built on it with the new design. The cyborg legs and gloves worked perfectly for the outfit (again twisted, yet sleek, red metal), especially since it has that shiny reflective surface. I thought the shoulder cables were slightly reminiscent of a Freak Stunners, and would tie into her electrical blast powers. Finally, I gave her a head that just screamed Freak punker with a red metal hawk and copper circuitry below the skin and kept the enforcer chinplate as an additional tie-in to her original outfit. I hope Turkey Lurkey likes the costume; I enjoyed putting the pieces together and Im happy with the end result.
P.S. Also added the dark grey tendrils aura around her feet. She keeps moving so much, its causing her cybernetic legs to smoke from all the electricity and heat.
