Hey guys, Iv'e been meaning to make a new character post-i16, but i havn't really had the time.

I was hoping you all could help me with a look for my new hero-to-be. He's going to be Electric Melee/Super Reflexes...

I was thinking of a more casual look, than that of the old-school "hero" look. Maybe something close to a modern Sasuke' from Naruto? Anyways, ill leave it up to you guys!!

You mean like someone fighting crime in their civvies (much like most of my characters o.O)?

Do you have any idea what the character's meant to be like, personality- or history-wise?

You should break tradition or stereotype and make an old, old man as your scrapper. Bio goes something like this;

[Name here]'s body flows with so much energy, his clock keeps ticking way past his time. It's the energy that keeps him young.

Now I know that one liner was VERY generic and needs a little more flavor, but it goes well with the concept that it's an old, old man as an electric/reflexes scrapper. What do you think?

Lol, I think that its hilarious, but not what im looking for...

I threw out "a modern Sasuke from Naruto", because basically im looking for a quiet badass who doesnt necessarily have the "standard" ninja look.

Kind of like...He's quiet and sarcastic, but when he fights, hes ferocious.

Is that a little more clear?

sooo you're looking for what? blue jeans / t shirt / sneakers / headband? If you're talking casual you're pretty stuck. Just look at any joe pedestrian on the street and there you go.

Why would you need costume help for that? I really am confused here.

I suppose you could go biker look and then its leather jacket / t shirt / jeans / boots / headband or goggles.

I'm guessing he not only wants to have his character in casual garb, but also wants it to stand out among all the other crimefighters in civvies out there too.

Which is possible, but with the casualwear so flipping limited in CoX it's a total spherical object ache. It feels good to get a few o.O reactions from those you come across, though.

I'll try and get a few screenshots of my own chars for you, see if that serves as some form of inspiration.

Heh casual wear that stands out is a contradiction in terms. If you stand out it's not casual , however I do understand what you mean. The only way to do that is to use the pattern and color options to try and differentiate every other pair of blue jeans from yours as an example.

I'd stick with probably subtle colors that almost blend in so that you're not running around with a glaring sign that says LOOK AT MEE!!!!

I'm not really familiar with the character but a little bit of Googling has given me the kernel of an idea. I'll work on it when I get home tonight and post the result in this thread.

No, my first post I said casual, and thats why i clarified in the second post. I realize casual may not have been the best choice of words.

What Im saying is that, I want the attitude of Sasuke, which is a common anime character, but not the standard "ninja" look. Basically, a more modern and not so typical looking ninja. So maybe he'd have aspects of being a ninja, but not necessarily an all out, "Hey look, a ninja!" feel to him.

Thank you all who are actually helping me, i appreesh!

Right, he's some of the chars I have with civvies. Admittedly some are somewhat generic, but there should be a few that stand out and give you some ideas.



Careful, mind. It's a 1.9MB monstah of an image. What can I say, PNG ain't perfect, but I swear by it most of the time.

Here's what I came up with.....



The Sasuke character appears to have a preference for navy and white so I tried to keep a balance of those two colors. To me this is really is a casual action look thus the impromptu "action sequence". Hope you like it!
