To get things started, here's Bullet Math, AR/Elec Mutation blaster:

This misunderstood teenager was a student at the Steel Canyon University until a robbery changed his life forever. An accident left him hideously mutated, and itching for revenge.

Link to the music, it's by That Handsome Devil.

His bio is based on the lyrics, but the costume (and choice of electric secondary) is based more on the feel of the song. I think it turned out pretty cool, I probably wouldn't have thought of it otherwise!

Any takers?

Hmm, this is harder than it seems, but great idea My song was Arctic Monkeys - Knock A Door Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roUKWZ9iTrY) not a band i'm massively into, they're a bit plain for me, but they're in my library none the less. This track tho i quite liked, it's got quite a heavy bassline and lots of guitars which is more my taste and instantly made me think of a large, powerful character, which along with the band name could only lead me to a big arctic gorilla brute. The song itself isn't really about anything other than being a bit wide and causing neglible bother so a tracksuit and trainers had to feature . As for powerset, the song has a great second half that's all bass and guitars gradually increasing in tempo and energy and made me think kinetics melee, that kinda slow wind up to a big release of pow. So a tracksuit wearing, kinetic wielding, arctic ape is what you get!!

As you Lurker, this also isn't a costume i would have ever thought of normally, but adversely, i don't like it, at all . But it is the picture the song painted for me and what a great idea, hope more peeps give it a go

Okay I hit random on my itunes and Insane in The Brain by Cypress Hill popped up.Mad gun wielding scientist is what I immediately thought of.

Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young, by Fire Inc. yielded this, and the perfect name just happened to be free on Virtue... so here she is, resplendent in neon colors, leg warmers, and acid-wash denim:



I've never been a Sonic defender before, either. Should be interesting!

Thanks Henri! Coming from you that's a great compliment! Of course you can use it! Go to town!

cheers PS, i've been wanting to roll up an empath recently as i've not got a proper healer, was going to go EMP/DP Def but have been really struggling to get interested in any kind of background for him. You've just solved all my problems tho, he'll make the best DP/Pain Corruptor hmmm, now, how to justify him going good, he just looks so beyond redeption, lol! I'll post up how he turns out later. Cheers again mate
