Kheldian Fashion

Here's Stellar Revenant.

I wanted to go with a bit of an angelic look, since its concept and personality tend to drift towards the "immortal energy being from beyond the Local Group" side of things.

I think I'm going to put Stellar into the Celestial stuff once I get my hands on it.


(Also, yes, he has no face.)

Here is my Lady Penitent:



Her look evolves as I play her, but then you probably noticed that in the Kheldian Fridays thread. What doesn't change, however, is her dark elf heritage.

Okay, I have a couple of Peacebringers to share, I don't think I have pics of my Warshades.

Star Tiger


Starlight Saint


Yes, I do like that helmet and wraps combo.

I have more, perhaps I'll get pics of them, too.

Be Well!

Costume #1: The "Original" Costume
This look is essentially unchanged from the costume pieces that became available in Issue 4 (aside from maybe the Hair, I forget). Simple, yet sleek ... and amazingly enough, somewhat distinctive, since I almost NEVER see anyone else wearing this combination of costume elements. Pretty much everything about Ms Terry's fashion choices flows from this elegant beginning.



Costume #2: Toga Party
This is my "when in Cimerora" costume for blending in with the natives. The part of this that I like the most is being able to make the One Shoulder Cape look like it's a part of the drapery of the toga such that it's REALLY HARD (even when you know where to look, and at what angle) to discern the "join" of the Toga Top and the Cape ... because they blend together almost seamlessly (pun unavoidable).



Costume #3: Formal Wear
Found this combination with another character who had a different color scheme (white and darkest purple), and was kind of surprised to see how well it came out with black and purples (plural). Deluxe Wedding Tux, Witch Leather and Rocket Boots are the main requirements for this particular costume. Two fun things about this costume are the coattails of the Tuxedo flashing "Bat Butt" when jumping around () and watching the Rocket Boots "ignite" whenever teleporting in Human Form.



Costume #4: Casual Beatdown
Sleeveless Biker Jacket, Witch Lace Top, Roman Pauldron Shoulders, Shorts and Baggy Socks Shoes. This is my other "let's go visit the Cimerorans" costume, which has more of a modern feeling to it than something strictly period. Tight in all the right places, and comfy where it needs to be, while being "timeless" enough to look good in pretty much any era.



Costume #5: Stand Back! I'm going to use SCIENCE!!!
Vanguard Tights (top and bottom), Resistance Gloves, Tech Wings, Rocket Boots, Ascension Shoulders and Belt (decorative, but not radiant). This is my "armored" look, for when I want more than just bubbles and smoke between me and whatever I'm devouring the souls of. Essentially a High Tech Power Armor costume look, that has everything a girl needs (and nothing she doesn't!). I also really like the "accidental muscularity" that Rocket Boots lend to the calf muscles on female characters.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

This is one of my PB's costumes

Wow! A lot, a whole lot of great stuff! And apparently I need to get to 50 (Hit 47 tonight!) and get that Incarnate Belt. So snazzy!

I've grouped with a couple Peacebringers as I've climbed up the levels, all of them with really neat and different looks, and finally tonight I grouped with another Warshade (said group had a Peacebringer, too, so it was a strangely Kheldian-heavy group). I kind of feel like I've discovered this cool underground group within City of Heroes that I never really knew existed! And I've gotten a lot of in-game compliments on my (previous posted) costume, so thank you guys who responded early in helping me make some good decisions to get that first one looking really good.

As for more, different costumes-- I made a Galaxy lookalike costume and used it for a day or two on Council missions-- but although I tried to keep it pretty close, the lack of collar and inability to get a decent looking facemask, I just wasn't satisfied with my results. So, going back to the drawing board, and with some suggestions from this thread, I came up with:

(Hard to see details: Ulterior top and small skull face mask)

I'm pretty happy with it, though I could do better on the pants, I think-- or maybe just something different over all? Not too sure. After using Dark Extraction on Requiem himself near the end of an ITF, I started wondering if maybe I should try for something more military-looking in his colors. A black suit with red gloves and boots-- or maybe purple instead to make it more in line with the colors in my other costumes? I wish Arkhan had a better picture on the wiki so I could see what she's wearing. I haven't fought her yet, so I haven't seen her in game.


Since the Fire and Ice sets came out today, I made this one after I went on an LGTF run:

(Kind of a blob of purple in the upper half. It looks better in-game I swear)

I guess it's sort of some weird hybrid cyst / solidifying nictus theme? I stole a lot of things in this from a Fire/Rad character I made a while back, mainly the hair, shoulders, arms, pants and boots. In fact, this is pretty much how I'd update that character's costume should I go back to her. Except the chest part. The celestial armor chestpiece also sort of makes this a bragging/showoff costume due to all the Tier 9 parts. Maybe when I unlock incarnate pieces (that belt!) I'll add them to this one and make it sort of serve that purpose.


There's also a Cimeroa costume I made, but I'm not ready to post it yet. It's pretty much an exact copy of an older one I did for my DB/WP brute. It looks nice, I think, but I want to change out at least the gloves and boots (my Brute used the Sinister pieces, which are a bit too evil/spider themed for my Warshade).

Xary, I'm digging both of the new looks. My Warshade has a void costume, it's pretty much an exact replica, aside from how little he is. I can post a picture later, he even has the void rifle temp power to go with it.

I made a new Warshade who is currently level 11 to participate in the weekly Kheld event on Protector since I moved my main to Freedom. I made the new one a girl to capitalize on the sash costume piece as soon as it comes out.

I'm using the Samurai belt as a stand in for the sash right now, but this is the look I came up with- I was going for the classic Kheldian/comic book look while trying to not be too generic.

Wargirls are better than Peaceboys. :P

Yeah! For one thing, they drain your ... uh ... soul ... from your ... um ...



... I think I need to stop this line of thinking right now.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

On a less creepy note, I like that costume, even if the samurai belt looks weird for now. I have tried to make use of the fire pattern a couple of times, but making it look good is pretty difficult. I think that I just end up trying to make things too "busy" like the result of my Galaxy project and just can't keep to simple designs like a lot of you guys are doing very well with.

Also I really need to break out of using just purple and black. I had some pre-thread designs that used a hot magenta for highlights and should really go back and revisit that scheme. Going forward, the new shirts in the pocket D / clubbing pack should be perfect to really finish my lackluster civilian costume (which I swear is not purple and black).

Oh. That's incredibly funny. And kinda cute. XD

So, I promised a few more Kheldian looks and here they are.

Avataar of Light - He's an ancient, eastern semi-deity, reincarnated. . . Binary Ascension - celebrating the Two-in-One nature of Kheldians.


Voidsinger - Straight-up space alien.


Be Well!

Here's my first and still favorite Warshade, Iscariot, recently redesigned his look with various bells and whistles available to me and fairly pleased with the overall effect.

Whoa!

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Now that's what a Warshade should look like. A dark and unnerving figure who devours the essence of their enemies. You captured it perfectly Justaris.
