Well, here's the problem - IIRC, they'd need to make a special category for "belts with cloth bits", then, upon selecting it, it'd disable the cape/back option, since the interior would use up that slot...

I could be wrong, but I believe that the bolero & sybil outfit take up the extra cape and belt slots to allow for that - it may be that there are only so many "sections" that a costume can have...

Kind of got a Batman Animated Series vibe with this one: "The Mundane Elite":

Use the "link colors" option to set those parts to what you want, then uncheck the box and color the other areas as normal. EDIT: I saw you already know about this trick. Besides that, I don't know of any other method, sorry...

Somewhat inspired by a costume I shared here, I present to you, "F L U X":

That is really quite excellent! Here's one of my favorite characters, "The Lithe Spectre", put through some AI enhancement then made into an animation: lithe spectre - hailuoai1.mp4

Here's what I came up with. I hope you like it! Sky Strider1.costume

This one I think turned out really good: Kitsunoitchi1.costume

Here's what I came up with. I hope it isn't too "mystic-looking"... nocturna1.costume

It is weird that AI really doesn't like to render mouth coverings or even things like tiaras/headbands...

They actually do. A lot. The Suggestions subforum isn't there for people to just vomit up whatever comes to mind; Critical feedback is necessary to coach what kinds of suggestions are possible and which ones are just "pie in the sky". They should. If you don't want something "in the spirit" or CoH, then you're posting in the wrong place. *Every* suggestion should be made with "How does this fit into CoH" as a cornerstone.

I'd also love to see various non-tech jetpacks or rocket boots - think "organic" or magical...

Then just open notepad and type messages out to yourself. If you aren't interested in interacting with others, be they positive or negative, then don't post in an online forum... We truly don't know what the devs do or do not implement based solely upon people posting in these forums. You are also putting forth a false premise; IMO, those suggestions that are put forth, that are actually fleshed out, and by people with a decent enough understanding of the game to know what is or is not feasible, are never met with the kind of utter contempt or negativity you described. Instead, it's the kind of ill-defined ideas, or ones not in line with the style/previous content found in-game.

Anything specific you are looking for? Just black/dark colors, or are others ok? Magic origin? Mutant? Other details?

Just how stereotypically "ninja" are you looking to get for this character? The costume you posted kind of reminds me of Taki from Soul Calibur...

Pretty simple one: Beam Pistols Take the existing animations from dual pistols and apply the following few changes: All attacks will deal energy damage, eliminate "swap ammo" and replace it with aim, and take one of the single target attacks, such as executioner's shot, and add the disintegration mechanic into it, then bump it to a lower position in the power order, something like: 1. Pistols 2. Dual Wield 3. Empty Clips 4. Executioner's Shot (now this set's form of disintegrate) 5. Aim 6. Bullet Rain 7. Suppressive Fire 8. Piercing Rounds 9. Hail of Bullets Obviously, the specific names of each attack would have to be renamed, as would their specific damage types, numbers, and any other secondary effects. All attacks would lose the different effects from the various ammo types as well...

Did you change its color? I do not recall that being the default...

Unless I'm misreading things, it *does* appear that Enforced Morale from Pain Domination, provides actual protection against fear, though: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=defender_buff.pain_domination.enforced_morale&at=defender

Well, IIRC, that only provides resistance, so it only reduces the duration...

The interesting thing about fear effects, besides their relative rarity, is that they don't drop your toggles, nor do they prevent you from retaliating if you get attacked. They merely prevent you from initiating attacks. The enemies will be attacking you, so just counter-attack when able. Some sets having holes is fine...

But what if the "armor" doesn't need to be worn? Or real. It could be "suit of metaphorical armor located at some indeterminate location" armor...

The name isn't a big deal to me. What I want to know is how would this set work when compared to others, and what would it do better? worse?

This one turned out really nice!
