Help with a costume.

Hey all. Well, when I first started this game, I had no trouble making costumes. But lately it seems like I have hit a rut and can't design anything I'm even remotely happy with. So, I thought I would see what you all could come up with.

The character in question is a Ice/Thermal controller. I do not have a bio for her. I rarely write bios for my characters. I like to create them and then jump in and begin playing. I have a few that have bios because an idea smacked me when I was making them, but this one doesn't.

He first costume is blues and whites, and the aura looks like ice is pouring off of her. The second one is all oranges and reds and has a fiery aura. Now, the 3rd one, I wanted to have a combination of the ice/fire in the costume, but I'm not sure what would look good.

I don't have any special packs other than the cyborg pack. I am up to 41 (42? I forget what it is) for vet rewards, if that helps with what costumes are available.

Anyways, thanks for the help!

I can't really speak to the ladies costumes elements, having only made one female character, but I can make a suggestion on fire and ice looks.

This is my fire/ice blaster Grill N. Chill. On these two costumes, I found good use for the "blend" feature on costumes. On his "bodysock" look, I suggested a temperature shift by starting with a darker blue in the boots blended with a lighter blue. legs featured the same lighter blue with a light orange. Top was a light orange blended to a red.

On GnC's Golden Age outfit, I used a nearly identical concept, but I used the belt as a dividing line, and ran the blends just on the top, legs, and internal cape.

I found black makes an eccelent trim color with the blended outfits. It adds weight to the look and keeps the colors from getting too loud. You can't see it here, but its the sole external color on the cape.

Oh, and if you look closely at the bodysock-look's face, you'll see behind the fiery-eye aura that I used the wraps glasses, which allowed me to use the blend one last time with a blue/orange blend.

Did you have a link to a pic Rodoan or is Starkitten supposed to visualize it in his/her head?

Also Star that link to your characters appears to be down you may want to check it and what's your character's name?
The name can sometimes help with an idea.

Also is she science and tech based? A mutant? Where do her powers come from or is there a favorite costume piece you have
that can be built around? Anymore info would help.


Edit: Ah that's better Rodoan.

The pic was showing up last night, actually. I tried both looks out on my toon, and they didn't work at all. Sorry!

She also has the angelic wings, and I'd like to keep them on there.

That link didn't have pictures. It was just a generic list of my characters. Her name is Siberian Phoenix, and she is of Magic origin. But like I said, there is no bio for her, so I don't know if you can really say that the origin means much.

I already mentioned in my above post what costume bits I have access to. Only the Cyborg pack and anything special with vet rewards up to 42.

Well, nevermind, I guess. I figured something out that seems to work rather well.

I cheated a little, I bought the new Martial Arts booster pack last night, and used the Tera Fire robe. Worth getting in my opinion, but you can just as easily substitute something else. Hope you like it... sorry didn't add auras, cause she was a new character, but there's plenty that would work with this one I think...

SIBERIAN PHOENIX

Looks nice. I may use that for my next slot. I do plan to get the MA pack, but it may be waiting a couple weeks. Thanks!
