What got you into cosplay?
Hearing my friends talk about it, and seeing pictures for so long.
What was your first costume and why?
Duo Maxwell, Gundam Wing. He's the first character I really related to, and I (supposedly) look like him anyway. Plus I have the hair for it.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Duo Maxwell. He remains the one I can relate to the most, and it's the one I'm most associated with.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
several. Latest one I've thought of would be Hao Asakura.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
There's too many. Recently? Getting my pajama pants stolen by fangirls at Janicon 2007 and Maboroshi getting it all on camera.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Metrocon, 2006 and 2007. Does that count? XD
What was your best masquerade experience?
Dressed as a "formal" Duo, (fedora and all) I was slipping through the crowd when a prom-dress-clad girl fell back into me. Without even thinking, I caught her in my arms before she fell, one hand behind her back and one arm over her waist. I swung her up onto her feet and slipped off into the crowd again as her friends were fangirling. XD
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Best Look-a-like at Otaku-con 2004 (and apparently everyone hates me for it. It wasn't my fault I won!) Best Presentation for the "If You Were Gay" skit at AnimeSouth 2006 3rd Place in FYE's Anime Spectacular Costume Contest.
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm working on a story that I some day hope to get published, either as a novel or a manga. I'm currently working at a party supplies store, living with my dad and my girlfriend, and . . . uh . . . I like photography? Right now . . . that's all I've got.
My favorite anime
Too many to list, and they change often.
My favorite game(s)
FF 10, Kingdom Hearts (1&2), DDR and Guitar Hero
My favorite book(s)
Neverending Story by Michael Ende, all-time favourite. the movie sucks. x.x Other than that, I have dozens of favourites. I was raised on books.
