More on the Fifth Costume Slot<\/a>, which appears to be tied into this year’s Halloween event<\/a>. Fun.<\/p>\n

Regarding costumes and my main toons these days:<\/p>\n

Torchielle<\/strong>: She’s cut her hair recently, but her main costume is pretty stable (scaled hide boots and gloves, and, of course, the cape being relatively recent, plus a faint smoky aura about her hands). If I were doing more RP with her, I’d have some interesting developments, but that’s not happening any time soon. She actually only uses two of her three slots already. I’m not altogether happy with her “civvies” — the women’s shirt choices are pretty cruddy. We’ll
\nsee.<\/p>\n

Ho Ho<\/strong>: I’ve been jonesing to do something with her outfit, but haven’t decided what. Her main costume still fits the iconic role, and I never liked her Golden Age variation. Need to think about this.<\/p>\n

Lynn Calodo<\/strong>: I keep coming back to the Goth Girl in a Black T-Shirt look for her. Her cool-spiffy outfit just isn’t doing it for me. Don’t need more slots, need more inspiration. Well, and more playtime, too.<\/p>\n

Eliza Dee<\/strong>: Too low to be getting more costume slots. I did redo her outfit a bit when I picked her back up for soloing again some weeks back — trading the sneakers (which I’d mistaken for being small boots) for folded boots. When she finally gets costume slots available — not sure what I’m going to do with her.<\/p>\n

Psi-clone<\/strong>: Recently upgraded his adventurers outfit to have one of the spiffy buttoned jackets and (overly-glossy) leather pants. He does use all four of his slots (to the extent he goes out these days), and I don’t know what I’d do with a fifth.<\/p>\n

So, ultimately, a fifth slot isn’t all that exciting.<\/p>\n

Now, once they get trenchcoats available …<\/p>\n

Did have another amusing costume thing recently. Playing with the idea of another controller\/scrapper combo with Margie, and decided I’d do an ice\/kin controller. We were also chuckling over a D&D advert in a comic book I was reading about how “At least you’ll know for sure that the hot elf chick is played by a dude.” So I decided I needed to have a character named Hot Elf Chick.<\/p>\n

(Which seems oxymoronic with an ice controller, but I digress.)<\/p>\n

So I came up with what I though was a fun costume, very sharp-looking, and, yes, pretty damned hot to my eyes.<\/p>\n

Margie, sight unseen, predicted, “So, of course, Hot Elf Chick has a full costume from the neck down, no skin showing.”<\/p>\n

Um … well, yeah. Margie knows me too well. So I created another version with an Eden top and a Bikini bottom and bare feet. But I didn’t think she was any sexier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
