[mwmanus]

-Name: Michael Manus
-Profession: currently a lot associate at Home Depot
-Age: 22

-Favorite Hobby: well i've had many hobbies in my time but i do always seem to come right back to building and making props, i'm currently making my first set of armor and i'm loving it

-Favorite part of halo: everything!!! i'm not a huge gamer, at least not until recently, but halo has always been my favorite game

-Favorite Halo: Reach, i love them all but i'd have to say reach is my absolute favorite, i love noble team, emile especially, maybe you can figure out what my first armor project is

-Favorite Video Game: like i said before, halo xD my gamer tag is PunisherEXE 117 if anyone wants to find me

-Other Interests: i'm a musician, i play guitar mainly, though i dabble in other instruments from time to time, it used to be my number 1 hobby up until recently, i put it on the back burners

-Favorite Food: sorry, favorite? theres too much good food out there to pick a favorite, though if i really had to pick one..... no, no sorry, i just can't do it

-Favorite Band: i'm a musician so thats a tough question to answer but my top picks would have to be Gojira, Megadeth, pantera, and The Aristocrats, though i like just about all kinds of music aside from rap and recent pop music

-Favorite Movie(s):anything Marvel and just about everything nerdy xD

-Other: i'm super new to cosplaying but i managed to go to dragon con this year(2014), i really enjoyed it and definitely plan to go back next year and hopefully every year from now on. i was ezio from brotherhood, i made the costume myself of course but now i'm gonna try my hand at some foam armor. i plan on starting a thread about my build, so maybe keep an eye out for it and let me know what you think.

 

[GBlues]

Name: Nick
Profession: Need to know
Age: 36
Favorite Hobby: Martial Arts, and gaming. Other interests but in the last few years I haven't had the opportunity to indulge in them. I play a little guitar as well.
Favorite Halo: Reach
Favorite Part of Halo: Not a super fan, it's a good game...but there are others I enjoy more.
Favorite Food: Chinese
Other Interests: Did I mention I like to play video games?
Why am I here: I've never really worn a costume. I once dressed up like a hippy for 70's day back in high school. Otherwise, I've never really worn one, Halloween is coming up and I thought it would be kind of cool to maybe make a Halo Reach costume based off of the armor that my character sports in the game. Obviously after having done some research, it may not be done until sometime next year. But at least it would be ready for Halloween then. As such, I have never built a costume on this kind of scale and I'm absolutely new to it. I'd like to build a nice that looks the way I want. It would be nice if I could actually download some files to start seeing how this whole pepakura program works, etc...but we'll see what happens. Thanks for having me, and I hope I can one day be of assistance to somebody else, as I learn things most likely the hard way. Through experience.
