So I though this was the best place to post it. I need help on some new attire ideas for Blade I'll de changing his hair as well. I want to go something Evil / Dark since he's a heel and is the Leader of AotD, so I was wondering if anyone has and Awesome Ideas for me.  Also this will be for next season as well if I update him.  |

Well the 1st thing I would suggest is a darker hair color. To convey a character as a "badass" as far as hair, you either need to go with a really dark color, like black or deep, dark shades or browns and reds, or the total opposite extreme of full on white (Like Sephiroth). Of course white hair wouldn't fit Blade at all, so a darker hair color is the order of the day. Also, with a name like Blade Myers, you would envision someone who's has a streamlined, sleek look and build to him. Not all characters need to be jacked up brutes. Of my personal roster of male characters, only Buliwyf and John Irons actually go over the 280lbs mark. All my other characters are heavyweights to cruiserweights, and none of them have that overly muscled look to them. So maybe a re-working of Blades body morphs might help get the juices flowing. I'm not saying slim him down to much, but at present he looks a bit on the thick side.
Sometimes the best way to breath new life into a character is a complete makeover. Cody Black here for example has undergone something along the lines of 5 remakes since I 1st created him in caw form in 2002. (I'd been role playing him in text for two years prior.) As the times and demand changed, so did Cody. From a traditional looking wrestler, to a WCW pre-NWO Sting look, to a Raven like-grunger, to his present, streamlined "older" look. For Blade, I'm thinking a short tights/biker shorts look might work for him. Something with solid, dark colors and designs on it. If you look at some of the more prominent heel characters like Jasta and O'Dell, they have never been very heavy on the designs. That's another trick to the heel look. A true heel character doesn't care about being stylish, unless having an over the top sense of style is an actual part of the character gimmick, Like Robby Sylk or Chris Dynamite. Blade is obviously not that kind of heel. So his look should be streamlined to something a bit more imposing.
Oh yes, and facial hair always works. A little stubble underneath the main body of the facial hair does wonders to make a character look more gritty and intimidating.

I see what you mean, Blade is 270 lbs. and standing at 6'4" I've tried many of attires for Blade and they don't fit that well on him. I really hate the pants this year, Also I'm trying out new hair styles for him but it's hard to choose, Anyway I'm thinking of doing some attire like Kaoz's has done for Sean Trueth and Simon Fierhart or mostly a mix. And with Blade's build you see him at right now is what he's been like for the last few years. I probably do have an idea but I'll have to test it out.
Also I want to go deep in the character so I can RP him more heavy and more aggressive and dangerous.

So I asked for help over at caws and StingisGod found this logo that would look great on Blade and was wondering if either Kaoz or Mat could make it? I'll even send use the morphing and all that for him.  |

I've tried it once before and pretty much sucked at it.  |

That's how I've managed to pull off all of mine, including Cadavre's mind melter of a back tat. It just takes time and paying attention to pixels. Tap the control stick for better control on the highest zoom levels. Fuck the ingame grid, just go off of watching the icon move. It only moves one pixel at a time on the smallest settings. You're going to be counting. A lot.
