Your most (ab)used Costume piece?
I have a confession. I love the high collar cape from the Magic pack.
I think more than half of my characters use it actually. So tell me, are there any pieces you can't stop using? Perhaps you're even addicted to them? Why yes, you might have seen this topic.. About a year and a half ago actually. It is the spiritual successor to this one |
What can I say? They look great :-)
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Female face 3 - looks exactly like my youngest daughter (yes she is very pretty).
Male face 13 I believe - because it looks like me!
Metallic
Round half-helmet.
Lately it's been Praetorian Police boots.
I go in cycles, sometimes I'll be overusing one pices, then I'll switch to a different piece for a while.
I use the Clockwork chest detail quite a bit too. It blends nicely with one of the chest patterns, but I forget which one it is.

I wouldn't say I "abuse" them, but I tend to use the same few belts again and again, those being the "Standard" simple leather belt, the "Office" belt and the "Tactical 2" Belt. I also have a decent number of "civilian" costumes which use the trenchcoat.

Pretty much every stalker I make is a dragon/Reptile thing (because they are all the same character just rerolls).
When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!
Most of my characters will have at least one costume containing any of the following:
Praetorian Police Boots.
Praetorian Police Pants
Victorian Steampunk 01 (Female)
Sleeveless Uniform Jacket (Open)
Trenchcoat (often sleeveless)
Any bladed weapon users will have a Talsorian weapon (when I earn the merits. Managed to be unsubbed for a short while during the Vanguard pack period. *pouts*)
Valkyrie armoured boots/gloves.
High Collar cape (often Arcane)
Duster Hat.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Female Young Face 9
Ampules Belt
Folded Boots and Gloves
Tights Sleek
Short Capes
Clockwork chest detail
PPD and Valkyrie boots
I have a limited selection of faces that I think look decent (aka not the godawful messes the others are)
Probably more if I checked
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

The single shoulder cape.
Add another to the ranks of the Clockwork chest piece abusers.
I also shamelessly overuse the Resistance shoulder pieces and the PPD gloves.
Costume piece? Possibly the Jewel or Tech Tactical belts.
I notice myself duplicating colors a lot more than duplicating costume elements, even though I try to avoid it. I seem to use some shade of gold as an accent color on about 80% of my designs.

Sport boots and gloves
Praetorian Police Boots
Posh and Serrated Sugar hairstyles
The Mesh face detail (to give characters non-standard skin tones when coupled with some Tights patterns to mimic Tops with Skin)
Until I see something that states to the contrary, going to assume VK is right

Praetorian Police boots and the Valkyrie 3 shoulders (I think those are the ones).
The two plain robes from the Martial Arts pack, as well as all of the original non-tattered robe designs...
Every one of my bird-things has a "standard" outfit using those pieces, in some combination with other bits. That semi-historical, Asian-influenced look has become the norm for how I think of members of their particular species/culture dressing, and no matter how different any individual character's OTHER four outfits may be, it would seem odd to me for any of them to skip the 'standard issue' look completely.

That chick what plays the bird-things...
Valkyrie boots, definitely. They always look good.
But there's no denying the coolness of the Clockwork chest piece either.

Right now, it's probably the Folded Cloth belt -- my poor man's excuse for a proper Kheldian-like sash. Once Freedom launches it'll DEFINITELY be the IDF shoulders, gloves, and boots
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
My usual suspects...
Resistance gloves, shoulders and pants.
Round and Daddy-O glasses, dark or otherwise
Classic Steampunk Pants, Boots and Gloves (M / H)
Samurai Boots, Gloves, and Shoulders
Wedding Tux or Trenchcoat
Neck Cover face decal, or Reaper Face Detail 2
And above all, I've always had the tribal markings on 80% or more of my toons. Flames tend to be another decal that gets used a LOT...
(Future peices I'll be sure to have in the line up are Celestial and IDF costume peices, and Vanguard from lvl 1 now too.)
PS I have yet to find a toon I like having the Ascension sets on. They look too big for most of my alts... Although, I'm sure at some point I'll find a toon that looks better off with them.

The belt with the "jewel" buckle. It's probably my favorite accent piece.
