Well my costume is a version from teh Manga...found here http://shaka-lin.tripod.com/nurikored.jpg ...mainly cause I love the purple underlater on it(yay go purple!). I've figured out how to make everything, and thankfully at NDK 2005 I took a class on how to make chinese knotwork so I can actually make my own! Now I know he has short hair in that image but I want the long purple hair/braid so I'm gonna ignore that ;)

The bracers gave me a pause then I realized I was being too worried, between myself and two craft-y roommates I"ll figure it out soon enough.
