Made an animal hunter. Alligator boots, snow leopard gloves, tiger pants... you get the idea. Also comes with a modified blunderbuss! 
No animals were hurt in the making of this character.

I had a weird thought about using the goggles in the new hat as the actual eyes of a character and came up with this... thing.
I'm figuring Illusion/Sonic Controller with some very vibrant power colors, but can't seem come up with a suitable name.

Love it!!!
Don't know about a name. The idea of Barnum is cool, but he looks like he deserves a crazy name.
His face also almost has a look of an oriental dragon to me... really love that.
Maybe even a bit of a muppet...
I approve whole-heartedly.
If you end up not sticking with the character... I think I'd even take it on as writer/player, haha.
(Also, I still need to log on and make some costumes, as I said I would)

Lol, imo the best one so far. Wish they actually came out with real backpacks instead. I'm pretty sure if it ever happens it will be a part of another booster, not an actual "free" update.

Oh, man! I love this booster pack! Although, it is wrong to give some pieces to only one frame. All pieces shoud be for all frames.
Anyway, some of the experiments I did on test:
SN0WJ0B and InvulnerBull
SN0WJ0B: 50 ice/ice Blaster, InvulnerBull: 50 inv/ss Tanker, Death.Venom: 50 nec/poison MM

My pet peeve is people who refuse to acknowledge it when I tell them my character has unlimited power. If I rp attack them they are of course disintegrated beyond the ability of any hospital or magic to restore. Yet despite this they refuse to delete their characters and still keep playing them as if nothing happened. ~Mandu, 07-16-2010
Love that other people have posted Carnie costumes in here. I'm always trying to improve mine when new pieces come out.
The backpack and flying gears aura will go very well with my existing Brute "Scrapyard Bot". Now If I could just figure out where the new steampunk jetpack is located....

It's not a costume part. it's part of the animation for the Steam Jump temp power. Just like the Raptor Pack/etc.

Brilliant. And the French Maid is a perfect example of why we should be allowed to use any color at all. Pure white would look awesome there.

Well, the Queen of Hearts does not take kindly to deserters. No, she does not. To that end, she has dispatched her Royal Hunter to retrieve the Knave. Soon*, the dreaded Cheshire Grinn shall stalk the Rogue Isles.   * Probably around June 1st. |
...and how can I catch it?

I've searched through the costume options for the pinstriped pants - are they only available for male characters?

I just looked and can't find them for women, either. Seems like a weird thing to leave out.

I found the pinstripe pattern located under "bottoms" as a "pattern".
It took me a while to come up with an original character I really liked using some of the Steampunk booster. I think I'm finally satisfied.
Allow me to introduce Dawn Valentine,
The only way I was able to avoid clipping between the vest and new chest detail was to turn the chest slider all the way down. The mini vest is one of very few jackets that this actually works on.
Ideally, some upper body tattoos would complete the look for me.. but unfortunately that's not really possible.. not without changing her skin color to something non-human looking. Additionally, the clock belt was used simply for the sash. Having an identical 'sash' without the clock would be fantastic.
There were lots and lots of great designs and character concepts in this thread folks. June is shaping up to be a good month! Can't wait!

I'm not 100% on the legs/boots but I love the top half of this costume:

The aforementioned Knave of Trumps also benefits from the Steampunk Booster.
Suit of Hearts
Suit of Spades
Suit of Diamonds (sharing it for completeness sake, doesn't actually use any Steampunk parts)
Suit of Clubs (TBD - maybe I'll ask for some suggestions in the Re-Design thread)
