going with a black/teal color combo

Gotcha!  Here's what I came up with:

 

   

black teal concept1.costume

Good morning, heroes and villains! Been a while.

I've been so busy with real life I haven't been able to play my favorite dress u- I mean... super hero game as much as I'd like. But now that I'm settled down and able to play, I find myself with a concept I really enjoy as well as two costumes I also really enjoy, but not much beyond that. I'm simply looking for a little inspiration and asking for your help to come up with something cool!

Rolled a new toon, a Tech origin Arsenal/Martial Dominator named Sky Strider. Her whole concept is that she was part of the PPD as an advanced recon and stealth unit, cybernetically augmented and dealing primarily in non-lethal subdual of super-powered threats. However, after witnessing the corruption of the justice system for years and seeing the criminals she worked so hard to capture walk free mere days later, she decided she'd had enough, going AWOL and taking all of her gadgets and enhancements with her to become a villain instead.

These are the two looks I've got going for her so far, and while I do love them to death, I'm finding myself a bit unsure of what other looks I could go for. Whatever looks you guys can come up with based on the concept provided would be fantastic. Thank you in advance!

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...

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

Taki was the inspiration for that first look, but if you have any alternative ideas I'd love to see them.

Nocturna's a mutant, in case that helps.  Dark blues and purples would work also, if you have any ideas.

Looking for some costume ideas for my two-fisted, all-american hero, Proud American; without looking like yet another Captain America knock-off.  Show me what ya got!  (Street Justice/Willpower.  Natural Origin)

Here is my take on a patriotic American look for a superhero. Maybe you can take some inspiration from that. Looking at it again, though, I realize that it needs some more stars in various places to convey the American look.

Edited to add the screenshot which for some reason I forgot to include in the initial post.

I'm puzzled.  I could have sworn the costume creator had a bisected option (that is color 1 on right side, color 2 on left side) for at least chest and legs, but I've been unable to find it anywhere when I went to redesign a characters costume. (Qualifier: I'm aware there is a mask-type option for the face.)   Have we never had it?  Was it an option that was removed?  This feels like it should be a costume element 101 kind of thing.

Nope, though it has been asked for.

So there used to be a temp power in Siren's Call that gave you +Perception. It's apparently been removed, but when active it put a red HUD in front of your character's face, I always wanted that option in the character creator. It's already in the code, the dev's should just put it in the costume creator if it's truly gone now. I wish I had a pic, but I only have this link for proof that it exists

Nope. The one from the temp power was rectangular and red and I may be misremembering but I think it had a holographic eyesight on it as well

Hey all, So i am at a complete loss on what to do next on this... I'm into really dark,goth costumes. Is there anyway to make this better? I would like to hear all your thoughts on it. Ty!

Could you tell us what things are a must, (if any), for this character's costume?  I'm assuming dark powers, but could you elaborate upon their AT/powers?  Any notable features or tidbits about the character?  Cheers!

I worked off of some previous designs.  I hope it is sufficiently dark/goth/intimidating:

SilverAgeFan made a bunch of variations over on Rebirth that he’s posted in Reddit and I posted a few here last year (? I think), so you might be remembering those.
