Hey guys I could use some help.  A friend of mine is looking for costume ideas for herself for DragonCon, the one big super mega convention that my little group goes to each year.  Anyway I'm trying to come up with some suggestions for her, but I wanted to see if anyone had some good videogame ideas. She's a good looking redhead, and wants to do something fairly unique. Nothing real anime though.  She's as good as a seamstress gets so no idea is really too complex for her.  ANyway if you have some suggestions let me know.

Scully from the X-files. She can just wear her work clothes.

No that doesn't really work. This is a woman who likes a challenge. Scully is a costume that women with no imagination or no talent do.

Sharon Stone from Basic Instinct. So all in white, with a miniskirt and no underwear. Blonde wig too.

That Shantae game lady? Kind of a costume fantasy -- part genie, part future.

How about that bitch that's always talking to Master Chief?   Kind of a Tron Leotard.  The little blue lady.

Bloodrayne (groan).  You could just buy that off the shelf at Wal*Mart any Halloween.

Merril from MGS.

Nariko from Heavenly Sword could also a good choice.

Depends. She could go the route of actually making a good costume, or just wear a bra and a g-string and get a fair bit of intention instead. Nyaa

Way to miss the point bro.  Cosplay isn't about titillation and exhibitionism.  It is a performance art where the participants represent through costume not just...

You stopped at titillation didn't you?

Of course the key to the costume would be the hair...

Okay these are awesome ideas.  These are pretty recognizable characters that haven't been overdone on the circuit.  

And yeah Aspro had a good idea with Meryl too. That may be a little . . . not fantasy enough for her, but I'll throw that in there too.

Thanks for the help guys. I knew I'd miss some obvious names from some bigger games since I don't have the systems that these game are on.  Muchos thank yous.
