Reflections of my former self......

I opened test the other day to see what new things I8 brought and realized I had a few older versions of Far still on there.

After some prodding from WhitePeregrine here's the very first versions of Farwielder, along with me trying to justify the madness

Very First Farwielder
You'll notice, no capes, no aura, that stuff wasn't around back then. Also what was I thinking.

Second Farwielder
This was my attempt at trying to follow his origin and show that he's a homeless kid now that's he accidently killed his parents.
Another version of the previous

Farwielder, under Manticore's care now
Notice his spiffy rich boy coat and hair cut. Manticore insists his wards be proporely groomed and clothed.

1st version of the flight suit
Manticore felt this one needed a redesign, one because I had gotten the cape with that /cov 1 bug and two, it just wasn't aerodynamic enough.

Current Version
Flight suit at it's best
(btw this is my new favorite screenshot ever. New Flight poses FTW)

Anyone else have screens of how your toon has progressed over the months and years?

Actually, I do! <O.O>; (Neat idea btw)

Yumii's gone through some *massive* changes over the years. She's existed since pre-I1, though she started out as a Katana/Dark, went to Claws/Inv, then BS/SR, then Kat/Regen, then Dark/Regen, then when they re-did the animations, back to Katana/Regen - then eventually after 39 levels of that, when I got my new account - she hit 50 as a Katana/SR >.>;

Oh right, the pictures <O.O>; She has had so many freaking costumes...

Note: She's had so many costumes that I've lost well over 3/4s of them from the first 2/3s of her existance. All of this stuff is from the Katana/Regen and Katana/SR phases >.>;

Samurai Costume - I've had a variation on this one since I4; its been one of my favorites, but I changed the colors later to...

This

This costume has evolved into

This
In her most modern incarnation.

That said - she has a zillion different *types* of setups for different missions and different moods >.>; so...

Ninja mode! - This grew out of This ; which was a Naruto inspired costume I did.

The Naruto costume inspired my civvies as well! I love the vest look.

I've had this one since I4 too - but dropped it for the vest costume - This one died shortly after I came back in I6 - Yumii had matured beyond highschool age and so her dressing as a schoolgirl put too much 'sex' into the character. I mean, I won't say she's prudish - but she's not flirtatious in the least, and now that she's 22, the schoolgirl thing has gone from "a unfiorm to wear" to "I look like a [censored]". It was cute when she was younger in my mind though. The vest costume replaced it because she's in college now.

How does a non-powered hero deal with giant robots? Robot muscles of course! The Power Harness is the most recent addition to Yumii's costumes - its my rationalization for how a 'powerless' (as in - not super powered) girl could cut a giant robot with a katana. It worked on Samurai Jack!

She's also sported Formal Robes, which I picked up due to an obsession with Bleach at the time. I also just flat out liked the look. I dropped it because, though cool, and it even fit her to a degree - it made her "too mature" for my taste. It put her personality more in line with the novel version of the character, rather than the CoH version.

! This was Yumii's original "Alternate server" (ie: alternate world" ) costume! I enjoyed it then... though I dropped it because it didn't 'feel right' somehow. It fits the character, figting style etc... but I just didn't like *something* about it ><;

Anyways, needless to say, there are more - but I don't have pics for some of the REALLY old ones.

Far had one other costume as well when the additional costume slots were added. It was like a demon looking thing, had nothing to do with his origin and I used it when he got angry at something, as if he was getting a power boost type deal.

I've had several variations of that too >_< Ripped up clothing + flames! <@.@> it looks neat; but its too hard to choreograph into my fights to mean anything <;_;>

That last screeny with the new flight pose looks awesome.
