The Cosplayer

[Zinarei]

Hello everyone! My name is Javier "Zinarei" Ruiz. I'm a cosplayer/prop-maker, and I'm also a huge fan of Pokemon. I live in the East Coast USA, and I'm regularly found at conventions in that area. I'm best known for making armor, but I used to make papercraft models back in my early college days. I doubt any of you have heard of it, but I'm the founder of the now abandoned Final Fantasy Papercraft site.

I've come to this forum mostly because I was attracted by the actual Pokemon Reborn game. I watched Shofu's Let's Play videos on Youtube and thought it was a spectacularly crafted game, especially for being made on one of the RPG Maker engines. I noticed that you guys have some sort of league play going on using Pokemon Online, so I thought I would hit that up too. Is that still actively going on?

But yes, glad to meet you guys!

Welcome to Reborn! I think you posted in cosplay thread, it was pretty dope.

I'd use the overplayed, often misquoted sanity joke, but I've hsd enough of it. Enjoy your stay~

[Tempest]

Welcome.

You should destroy your sanity now. It doesn't really get used here. You should also go on the server to get the full expeirence of Reborn. Just download Pokemon Online.

Don't be afraid to PM me any questions you have.

[Vinny]

I just looked at that cosplay also... It looks pretty awesome...

Oh well, i'll keep it short and simple:

Welcome.

[Aqua Severwill]

Hello new guy, nice of you to join us.

And just go with what ever Vinny and Tempest said, I didn't read them but I'm sure they are the best thing to do...maybe

[Shamitako]

Welcome! If you could just keep and I on your sanity that'd be great. Then hop on over to the PO server and give me a holler. I'll be on there as Kyra and I'm always happy to destroy accept new challengers

[Zinarei]

Ha sounds good everyone. I'll see you all on PO then. Thanks for the greetings!

[Garnet.]

Welcome!

Cosplay is cool, and it's cool that you can make props and stuff. I dabble in that a little bit myself.

Also you should leave ur sanity on the sanity rack at the door, please

[Zinarei]

Thanks! Is that a photo of you in your avatar, Spade? Because if it is, you would make a really good Ringabell from Bravely Default.

If it would be possible, I'd like to see what kind of cosplays you do. If you still do them, I'd be interested to ask some questions later.

As for league, yes it's a thing. It has dead zones through time, but in the end it's always... Well... You know....

[Mikzal]

Welcome Zinarei! I have to say that your skills in cosplay looks pretty amazing.

[Zinarei]

Thank you Mikzal!

And Noivy, I unfortunately didn't document a lot of the stuff I did in college. Probably for the best though, as a lot of it was kinda... Well, abstract. I once made a helmet that was supposed to simulate how it might feel to have massive tumors on your head. But I do have photos of my two latest cosplays. I made Ebony Armor from Skyrim and Alternis Dim's armor from Bravely Default. The Ebony Armor was largely unfinished because of time constraints and me skill being in college (it was my last semester). But I'll post a photo for each costume. If you wanna see more, check out my Facebook page. There's a link in my signature.

This was my first costume using EVA foam and liquid plastic. I wasn't able to give it a good paint job unfortunately due to time. It's a little embarrising, but here it is.

And this is my latest costume. Much more advanced, using the same material, but of a lighter weight.

[Gyaradoskiller]

Well, I already know who you are because of my Cosplay Thread. Welcome to Reborn! Enjoy your stay here.

[Mikzal]

O_o Damn... That's really impressive.

[Zinarei]

Haha thank you two.

[Arkhi]

Very impressive, sir. Welcome to Reborn.

[Tenshine]

You are awesome, and I give you an awesome welcome. How is this welcome awesome? Because I said so. AWESOME.
