Costume help needed

I'm kinda stuck

the concept is this.
the character is naturally good with a sword (two swords take pracitce but he finds it unnecessary since he fights well enough with one.) This is a family trait. he wants to use this anility to help people. he 22 nearly 23 and a geek.

he was born in florida, raised in PA and just moved to Paragon city to help fight. His dayjob is repairing computers. He prefers english long swords but will change when the needs arises ( like when he works with vanguard he carries a talsorian blade, when he is in cimerora he carries a roman blade, etc)

I know a few things about him aside from the above (although I do with they had 2 handed swords that WEREN"T katanas)

what I need help with is his costume

I am totally lost T.T

Suit and tie? I wish we had "ripped jeans" as a costume option :/

Dress shirt with tie, trenchcoat? He's a geek - if he's into it, and you've got the vet reward, kilt? That could go with a kind of "I'm just a renfaire type, don't mind me UNTIL YOU COMMIT A CRIME!" shing!

lol


I was thinking black uniform jacket and jeans with combat boots..his symbol is medievil 1 (the thing that looks like 4 swords..as a family crest)

I was thinking of giving him a geek squad/nerd herd esque uniform for his costume (since thats what he does for a living once again calling upon my geek herd referance :P)

like some character get thier uniform famous just becuase it's what they end up fighting in

he does have a lot of people chasing trying to figure out why his family is so inherently good with swords..be it blessing, mutant gene what have you.


it would make sense for him to get attacked at workl alot. maybe wear a mouth mask to cover his identity so he doesn't get fired (the people chasing him never refer to him by his real name just the name his family is known by...which I haven't though if yet)

I need a way to make this name
gensistirps

a little easier

it roughly is the combined latin words for family (genus) Sword (ensis) and Blood (Stirps)

Stirpsengen (bloodsword family)
Would he be geeky enough to try to dress up like an homage to Zorro or the Three Musketeers, if he's into old movies?

According to this latin gramer aid:

stirps (stirpes stirpis) stirpis , f. rarely m. [the stock or stem of a plant; a young shoot]; of men, [stock, source, origin]; of things, [root, foundation].

sanguis -inis m. (and sanguen , n.) [blood]. Transf. [blood-relationship, race, family, progeny; life-blood, strength, vigor].

how about the latin version of my name (also the characters name) Juste

or a variation thereof

(the point of the name is because people won't recognize it's him if the demon/scientist/what have you don't use his name

from Behind the Name

JUSTE
Gender: Masculine

French form of JUSTUS

JUSTUS

Roman family name which meant "just" in Latin. This name was borne by at least eight saints.


You might try ensifer or ensiger which both mean sword-bearing.
