I did C2E2 in December this past year. I think it falls this year when I have to report back to campus.

 

[HelljumperDoc]

Name: Doc
Location: North Chicago / Waukegan area
Costuming since: Started costuming 2 years ago, joined as an official member with the Mandalorian mercs, and with my childhood love for halo, wanted to shift gears, and build some awesome Halo armor.
About me: Just an amateur costumer who's looking to learn how to work with foam and stuff lol. In the Navy, an EMT, gamer, D&D player and soon to be DM, just an overall nerd. Always looking for more cosplaying/costuming friends.
Favorite Cons: Really liked Con Alt Delete, haven't been to any others yet I am pretty new to the area. I have heard anime central is really good would love to go there at some point.
Costumes/Props: No pics at the moment working on a ODST costume with lots of help from NobleofDeath16 and am very interested to try my hand at a Spartan from the first Halo Wars.

=======================================================================

Name: Matthew aka Colonel Fork
Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan(if you look at the back of your left hand, I'm in the lower left corner near your wrist)
Costuming since: I kinda got started around this time in 2011
About me: I work, and I come home, and occasionally get the chance to hang out with friends. In fact, just had a nice casual meet up with HaloGoddess and thorn696 this past Sunday. I really enjoy aviation and the history of it. My favorite period of aviation was the war planes of WWII. If I were to pick a favorite aircraft from the era, it'd either be the F4F Wildcat or the ME109.
Favorite Cons: So far I've attended 4 different conventions, most of them in the Detroit area, but I've been to Anime Central in Chicago, YoumaCon and Midwest Media Expo in downtown Detroit and Motor City Comic Con in Novi, MI. I mostly prefer staying in MI, as it's much easier for me to get around.
Costumes/Props: So far my Reach armor consists of both parts made by me with friends and a few commissioned parts. I'm currently trying my hand at building a Reach DMR out of foam and PVC pipe.

In public I've worn Tiffany from Chucky, and gender bent Ezio from Assassin's Creed along with some that were listed above.

Costumes/Props: I'm currently working putting some finishing touches on a MKVII Mjolnir armor set from cyber show down event in halo infinite. But I’ve also put a MA40 assault rifle together and BR together so far. I’m really picky about details when it comes to accuracy, so I do my best to get as close as possible on my cosplays.
