Yup. A lot of what we can do kinda depends on who shows up. I can work with any attendance we get. Hopefully a bunch of healers!

Heyo, my friend doesn't have a forum account, but he'll be there as Jude (Xillia 2 design). His tumblr is swagmasterlowell (what a big nerd)

I will be cosplaying as Alvin from original Tales of Xillia. It is my first time cosplaying ever so it'll be exciting for sure! Btw, does anyone know if they will allow Alvin's sword and gun to be peacebonded? My sword is solid wood but is definitely not sharp enough to cut anything and is as heavy as a bat. The gun itself is made of PVC and wood and has no moving parts whatsoever.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting other fans of the Tales series!

If it's wood and not metal sword, you should be fine. There's a pretty thorough weapons policy in the pinned section of this forum. Recommend you ask there if you're unsure. I haven't had an issue with wood, foam, or PVC props at this con, as long as it's clearly a prop and not too weapon-like.

Anyway, glad to have you joining us this year! Good choice for a first costume :)

Hey! I'm cosplaying Alvin too and also have wood props, it's totally fine. Most issues are with metal or live steel, and projectile guns (like airsoft). So as long as you don't have those you can have them peacebonded. :D

I might switch from Elize (Xillia 2) to Rose (Zestiria) if I finish making Rose in time & find a wig.

Good luck finishing, there's not much time left! Of course I'd love to have more Zestiria, but either is great.

Updated with most recent list.

Believe it or not but it is actually like 90% done... just have the pockets, belts, and a few other finishes to go. Probably won't have her swords this time around. But I'll probably come as Rose... as long as no major disasters happen. >.>;

Thanks to all ~30 of you who came!

Pics from my camera are at: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.388860014632840.1073741895.100005265336181&type=1&l=264e577ac3

They are at the bottom since I photo dumped my phone before the camera and I'm too lazy to re-order the album. Sorry!!
(it's a public album so you don't need facebook to view)

Thanks for the pics. I'll get my few pics up as soon as possible.

~looks at pictures of myself~ well... some of my poses could've been better. -.-; I need to learn how to pose better. And I need to get my weight down. O:
It was nice meeting everyone (some of you again) and sorry if I was awkward to some of you... I have a tendency to stick my foot in my mouth.

Edit: The few pics I took in-between poses:

Please note that my camera is kind of old.
