When I'm Bored (And play with Icon)

(1/2) > >>

Sakura Tenshi:
Spoiler for Hidden: Drop it.
First up, we have my attempts are creating new looks for the Freedom Phalanx and Infernal (the look could work for either Praet or Prime)

First up we have old States himself.

Personally, this is a slightly less than ideal costume, but it's supposed to take Statesman's Greek inspirations up a bit by giving him a sort of "modern, stylized, hoplite/phalanxer" look. I'm also really sad the guy could never get a proper, full Corinthean helmet.

Next we have Sister Psyche, because, to me, her outfit never really said "Psychic"

This does, at least a little bit more than the original. (FYI: Praetor Tilman's didn't say psychic much either to me. Did say "Fascist Fetishist" though)

Synapse

Front

And back
I just liked the "dynamo" look on with the Resistance arm pieces and the Cybertech spine helped with his "modified reflexes" look.

Manticore

Because all gritty anti heroes need body armor, plus it gives visual cues of the Wyvern ties.

Back Alley Brawler


The next couple of ones weren't made in any Icon other than the one from when the game was still running

Positron

Because I'm a bit of a transhumanist and feel its very cynical of technological heroes to never get upgraded tech.

Numina

Just because you're dead, doesn't mean you can't be fabulous, darling.

Citadel

Trying to slim down after seeing the weight Siege put on from too many cookies in his hard drive.

And now for Infernal in two flavors!

Feral, God of War knockoff

And heavily armored knight in demonic armor!

Stepping away from canon into HEADcanon, the following are some designs I came up with for Arachnos during the 1930's, based a bit on the back story of my old Soldier of Arachnos who, until a ten year retirement after losing his wife to old age, had been serving Arachnos since around that time. (The guy is OLD. For a normal human.) The images will be accompanied by the character's commentary on the outfits as I was designing them.


"Yeah, it looks nothing like what we were wearing even a little more than a decade later, but you have to remember: this was military fashion at the time and Arachnos wanted to present itself as more than a terrorist organization, but a proper paramilitary unit to strike fear into everyone. But that old uniform had more in common with what the Fifth Column would be wearing than anything to later do with arachnos besides lots of black and red." -William "Bill" Roosevelt


"Now for the women folk, black leather was big at the time for villainesses since about anyone could make it work. Arachnos naturally went the same route with the old widow assassins, funny how they used to use swords back then, but times just change. Still, there was a lot of fetish appeal at work in those old costumes too, namely that bra plate, I had no idea what was up with that until later. Didn't too much for Tia and I's old widow teammate when someone shot her in the chest. Anyway though, about the only familiar aspects of the widow uniform are the high collars, and long gloves and thigh highs that stopped seeing use around around the time Red Widow assassinated The Weaver." -William Roosevelt


"So I mentioned Widows and Soldiers of the day, but here's a fun little fact: the early fortunata program was a pretty interesting one. It was divided into three groups: combat support, combat frontlines, and homefront support, and about half the psychics we had back then were issued firearms as well because there were reports that novice psychics suffered health problems from overuse of their powers. While Arachnos normally would use this to weed out the weak, psychics were just too valuable. Like the widows they tended to wear the leather bodysuits, I remember Tiana mentioning out she hated how fast those things heated up. A few recruitment posters back in the day even featured Fortunata and Widows with their suits mostly unzipped, the truth was that these were fairly candid photos and taken in women's locker rooms just trying to cool off.  To say the least, the propaganda department was the first Arachnos division to ever have a higher mortality rate than any frontliner operatives." -William Roosevelt


"Now, Crab and Bane Spiders don't predate Recluse, but we did have something like the Crab Spider, no fancy arachnid related named here, we just called them Wreckers.  The 1930s to 70s saw waves of super soldier serums get presented to all kinds of governments and supervillains. Wreckers were basically Arachnos' super soldier serum test subjects unleashed into the field. Their abilities varied in small ways, but they were universally powerful, nigh invulnerable, and hate a general hatred for anyone not connected to their own fortunata and her squad. And for the sake of redundancy, they were often slapped in heavy steel armors with spikes attatched and generally only understood three commands once the drugs kicked in: yield, follow, and attack."

And completely abandoning canon, I now present some of the looks I've been able to give my characters without that silly old "For NPC only costume parts" limit.


okay, this one is using pretty much all costume pieces that at least would have been PC usable. But, none-the-less, this is my old Titan Weapons brute: Titan Guardian, AKA Bob. The soul of a psychotic murderer shackled to a suit of armor turned faithful bodyguard of a thieving sorceress and the first human to possess a demonic Prince.


This is Eldritch Esoterica, my Mind/Time (heroic) corruptor. When I made the original costume with pure PC parts, I loved it so much the only improvements I could make was using the longer CoT skirt and I think the hood that has the plunging neckline in shadows. This guy was based on an old idea I had had about stories of "evil tomes of eldritch lore, bound in human flesh and written in human blood" being taken with a very different meaning on the latter part.

And here her is just standing there, menacingly.


Perhaps the biggest benefactor of NPC costume pieces opening up has been my Soviet Robot: Atomic Red.

I can even now give him ranged weaponry! (He was originally a willpower/energy tank)


And now to top things off, here is my kat/SR scrapper, Akuma Ryu, using an interesting Shoulders/Belt combo that were apparently meant as alternatives for the samurai armor set.  (edit: I just now realized I did not actually post this image)

Welp, that's all for now, folks, feel free to dump any sort of upgrades or odds and ends you made when you're bored and playing with Icon.

Also, Sister Psyche is wearing the "Fashion boots" and "Fashion Gloves".

BitLoadR:
Some really good designs here. Nice work!

Illusionss:
.....What boots are those that Sister Psyche has on?!!!

--- End quote ---
Those are from the Carnie set, there's two versions, one over the knee and one just below/at the knee.

Just noticed I was looking at Numina. I don't know what boots Psyche's wearing.

Arachnion:
Those are NPC boots.

I don't know the name off the top of my head.

EDIT: They might be called "Fashion Flared" and "Fashion Tight".

Fire up Icon in NPC Mode by modifying a shortcut (below image for Windows).


The boots should be at the very bottom/end of the list of shoes for females.

:D
