In Their Own Words: "They thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed. And out of that silence came thousands of voices. The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born."

In Their Own Words:
The character my human avatar is portraying is Vito from The Reward. "The Reward" is an excellent, short-animation created as a bachelor film project from The Animation Workshop, from Viborg, Denmark and has promise of soon becoming a full-on mini series.
If you have yet to see this scrumptious masterpiece, please watch it here (Gogogo! Quick, like a bunny!)
Although Vito's character design is quite simple (messy red hair, green hooded jacket, off-white untucked shirt, blue shorts, and black shoes) he is still quite complex and hilarious in various aspects, and I just had to submit him as my cosplay. However, I did make some slight alterations to his attire because:
A: I am currently poor as shit at the moment, and
B: I was inspired by the character's quirks.
Now before my fellow die-hard Reward fans pounce on my avie and tie him to a pyre of shame-flames, let me explain my changes and alterations:
- The Sparkler: Vito wields a glowing blue staff. Unfortunately, none of Subeta's wearable staffs look anything like it and I wasn't satisfied by settling for any of them. Thus, the sparkler did the trick.
- The Purple Paint: Due to silliness and curiosity, especially in his green-years of adventuring, Vito is often prone to blowing himself up in a big cloud of purple smoke. I felt the purple paint looked a lot like billows of thick smoke, especially paired with the grass under my avie's feet. Bing-bong-boom, there ya have it.
- Them grimy toadstools: Vito loves to party and that usually involves himself drinking himself into oblivion. Now here's the pickle: alcohol items are expensive as hell and my aforementioned amount of sp (diddly/squat) didn't allow for purchasing said items, I thought to myself "why not something like... shrooms...". Now before I get y'all breathing up my butt about drug stuff, you could imagine that Vito would have stumbled upon some type of hallucinogenic fungus on his adventures, and this is definitely a guy that would try anything at least once.
- The Crocs: I dunno. I was trying on black shoes and these made me laugh. Plus, if anyone was to wear stupid-looking, comfy shoes on a quest, it would without a doubt be Vito who does so.
And there you have it! Hope you enjoy my cosplay and have a fun time with the rest of EPICon.
