Past Present and Future Costume Thread

[Black Razor]

Okay so I had this wacky idea ...possibly from lack of sleep ..but its a good idea non the less. Alot of comics do past and future versions of themselves... so why shouldnt we? Post images of your characters costumes as they would be 1000 years in the past and 1000 years into the future! :razor:

I haven't dug up a matching pic of present day Widdy, but I at least got her past and future variants. Thanks, Test Server. :D

With this clothing, I was aiming for the look of a more roguish, athletic young peasant woman native to England or Scotland. I had to resort to the eyepatch, since the more common cover for a lost eye during this time period--a strip of cloth bound around the head and over the eye--doesn't exist in the character editor. Her superhero costume (if it could be called that) is little more than unkempt hair, a simple veil, a functional if homely tunic, a broadcloth family kilt and filthy bare feet, altogether an affordable outfit which provides maximum mobility and flexibility as she sprints and bounds among the trees. In this incarnation, the Widowed would be more of a forest-dwelling Robin Hood type of character, but one who robs the wayward and gives to the virtuous.

...and here we have her more futuristic counterpart. Her superhero costume consists of a technological replacement for her lost eye, hair sculpted into a towering mohawk, a powerful cybernetic exoskeleton for her right arm, pump shoes over stockings and a skintight vinyl bodice (or maybe it's vinyl. Maybe it's some futuristic material which hasn't been invented yet. Hell if I know...it's 3000 AD. I myself will probably be long dead by then...). I picture her in this incarnation as more of a bounty hunter or an anarchist, contesting a corrupt, soulless and seemingly omnipresent technocratic government for the simple freedoms of human rights and the power to choose one's own future. Perhaps Crey Industries finally succeeded in condensing and reducing the entire civilized world into one great corporation-run nation with security cameras and shock troops waiting around every corner....

Oh man how cool is this! Nooo I had to work today, urgh...ok I'll try to post up at least the Major Tonight, this is awesome. :)

And I thought I might do Bloodywedd while I was at it, seeing as she's also really fun for me to play. The Bloodywedd we all know and love (or loathe):

It's no big secret that the way that European society treated people with psychological disorders during the Dark Ages was generally inhumane and at times even barbaric. The lucky lunatics belonged to noble families, where either accommodations were made for the lunatic's eccentric behavior (as long as it wasn't too shocking) or the lunatic was kept locked away from the public eye in some remote part of the manor where he or she couldn't embarass the family. The unlucky lunatics were cast out by families or villages who had no patience for their behavior; Reduced to beggars, vagabonds and criminals in their struggle to survive, these outcasts tended to live short, wretched, squallid and--for the ones victimized by undisciplined watchmen, brigands, bullies and other predators who felt themselves above reproach for harming lowly lunatics--violent lives. And the downright miserable ones were submitted as charges to the care of the Church, who--in their superstitious ways--believed that neurosis and psychosis were the results of demonic possession and the Devil's mark on that person. The lunatics were given depressing housing accommodations such as asylum cells, wine cellars beneath churches and the odd oubliette (normally reserved for political dissidents, apostates, heretics and other "enemies" of the Roman Catholic Church). These lunatics were sometimes dressed in cast-off rags and sometimes simply stripped of their garments and chained to the walls naked. In their attempts to exorcise the lunatic's demons, the clergy and their assistants employed such measures as starving the lunatic, splashing cold water on him (or her) to torment him and deny him sleep, chaining the lunatic to a wall or a post and beating him with rods, and burning, branding or holding a fire to such sensitive parts of the lunatic's body as the belly, the breasts, the genitals, the fingers, the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet; Such actions were often employed in force whenever the person's madness started acting up. These measures were intented to browbeat the demon into leaving the person, but they usually resulted in little more than a deeply tormented and even more disturbed lunatic.

Bloodywedd 1000 was somewhere between the Unluckies and the Miserables. She does indeed look a bit worse for wear and, in compliance with Bloodywedd's Magic Origin, her madness and her mental powers are indeed the results of demonic possession. At first she engaged in benign psychokinesis, claiming that the fallen angel Urvurael gave her the dominion to manipulate the flesh, to heal, to listen to the thoughts of others and to move objects with her mind. Her devoutly Catholic parents handed her over to a convent, assured that their daughter would receive the best care. Instead, she was shaved bald (a symbol of penitence) and subjected to hourly exorcism attempts along the lines of "bind her hand and foot and have one nun shove a crucifix in her face while another holds her feet over a fire or thrashes her bare body with a thick wooden dowel". This did nothing to improve her disposition, of course, and she was able to collect her wits during the next Advent (when all the nuns were taking a break with a solid week of prayer, pausing for sleep and meals) and make her jailbreak. Surviving that first winter alone was difficult with being homeless, outcast and dressed in rags, but at least she had her hatred for the Church and her good friend Urvurael to see her through....

The internet of the future has merged with Virtual Reality to create a wondrous and frightening world, one that exists purely within the computer yet envelops the entire planet (and beyond). Bloodywedd 3000 was originally an intense neurotic who--unable to function as a part of society--walled herself in her home, emerging only to shop for food and otherwise living her life on the Virtuanet, which she found to be a more agreeable substitute for the real world. When you wander the internet long enough, you come across the strangest things; The Virtuanet of the future is no different. She came upon her powers when she uncovered fragments to various formulae for the art of cyberomancy: sorcery through computers. Bits and bytes weren't all that different from numerology, which led to casual prestidigitation, which led to Sorcery version 2.0. Her comparatively shallow madness has intensified through trying to wrap her mind around Things Mankind Was Never Meant to Know, and her entire bodysuit is simply a big, flexible, form-fitting computer which links directly to her central nervous system and reacts to the motions of her body. With it, she hopes to finally achieve her master stroke: Bringing Virtual Reality into Realspace, imposing her madness and her will upon that creation and reshaping the world in her image, suited to the designs of her deranged and alien mind....

I talk too much, don't I?

The more I look at these, the more I realize I could have added more touches here and there, but I'm far too lazy to go back and do it all over again. :P

[Jade_Dragon]

I have no idea what to do for the Future versions, but according to their backstory, the Ancient Egyptians from whom Jade Dragon and Blue Diamond got their powers actually used the artifacts, and so there was an Egyptian version of the Crime Fighters. In fact, all four of them were heroes, whereas one of the powers (Silver Bolt) ended up in the hands of a villain in the present.

[Jade_Dragon]

Also, here is Golden Genie, who is the counterpart of Element Dog in the original stories, and Genie Gold (http://www.phan.org/coh/pics/gg3.jpg) in CoH. I just threw him together, maybe I will do both him and Silver Bolt in a little more detail later. For one thing, he really should have used Genie Gold's Chinese style pants. Oh well, I was in a hurry.

http://www.phan.org/coh/pics/ggpast.JPG

I may try and come up with Future versions of the characters, too. Or even post some more recent pics of Jade Dragon. (Since he doesn't have his aura or even his cape in that "present" pic...)

...Well...since Sechmeth wears a magical armor that her goddess gives her...she wont have different looks during the ages.... :(
But I like the future version of No-Show very much! :chuckle:

Man Dragon Fly looks like some Action Figure...Pretty cool. ;)

[The Widowed]

So, Burb...the first guy must be the 1950's version of Major Obvious, am I right? :D

[iggy880]

My sig is pretty much my own transition.

[inkblaster]

Ok, the only reason a guy would be covered in an ink-like substance 1000 years ago,
is if he was some poor peasant who had burning tar poured on him,
so that's Ink 1000 years ago.
And then Ink today
And ink in the future is his present self,
and he got sent through a temporal anamoly,
got longer pants and a cool vest,
and the world is ruled by damn dirty apes.

I love the expression on his face. (The past Inkblaster)

[The Widowed]

The expression seems to say "Grrrrr! This burns!"

[BannedUser01]

very nice. wow the only good thing i will say.

[Jade_Dragon]

Well, at least now we know you CAN make positive posts. :D

Probably won't help you though. :P

[Xanatos]

Inkblaster is such a cool hero :)

A respected elder of his tribe, Aegon' forward-thinking ideas keep his people thriving in a barbaric world. Using his wits and tactical abilities, he keeps the Romans on their toes; they are unable to dominate what is now Scotland thanks in part to his genius.

http://img252.echo.cx/img252/9463/randovictorian4uk.jpg
During the Renaissance, Egon McFlynt, a respected philosopher, lives the high life of an intellectually-gifted diplomat. Travelling the world, he helps bring enlightmenment to the ignorant and peace to the barbaric. The beloved philosopher and diplomat is tragically killed by a farmer in the New World. The cause is cited as something about five pregnant daughters.

http://img173.echo.cx/img173/547/randofuture3bc.jpg
Despite the raging plagues, rampant starvation, violent oil wars and bizarrely fluctuating temperature and terrain, which kill 99% of the world's population Egon McFlynt refuses to die. Though he often wishes he could. Excessive botox injections keep his face permanently frozen in a rictus grin. If only he could end it all. Oh God, if only he could end it all. So alone.
