In honor of the May 25th release of The White Road, I'll be doing a few Nightrunner cosplays, both to get in the spirit of things, and because I'm a hopeless fangirl.
First and foremost, the Queens of Skala. This isn't meant to be any one queen in particular (although given the hair, I'd say she's closest in appearance to Phoria), but a general representation of all that the Queen stands for. She's got the armor, cloak, and weapons of a warrior, the gown and gloves of a noble, and the crown of authority. She's also got the Dragon of Illior, one of Skala's two patron deities, but I couldn't find anything appropriately flamey for Sakor.

Next up is Sebrahn, or as I like to call him, Chestburster Ex Machina. Not my favorite character, I'll admit, but I had both means and motive, so here's the little guy, shoeless, of course, wearing the "rags" he escaped Plenimar in, with one of the owls of Illior that keep visiting him on his shoulder. The Long-Stem White Rose is supposed to be one of his ultra-healing flowers (complete with bleeding would [yes, I know his blood isn't really red, but it's the best I could do] on his arm), since I didn't have anything closer to a lotus on hand. Oh, and yes, I know calling him "little guy" and using pronouns like "he," "him," and "his" is technically incorrect, since A) my avi is female, and B) he is canonically sexless, but the characters call him "him," so I'll follow suit.

Ladies and gentlemen, Seregil í Korit Solun Meringil Bôkthersa, the Rhíminee Cat! I chose to put him here as the nightrunning Cat, not as a Bôkthersan, or foppish Lord Seregil, because that seems to be what he enjoys doing/being the most, and who am I to deny the poor guy a bit of fun? He's got his trusty old poinard, the appropriate disguise(s), and a bag of gold he was evidently hired to appropriate. I know that his jobs usually run more along the lines of documents, significant pieces of jewelry, etc, but this is the best I can do with what I've got. Oh, and I also know that the big, floppy hat with the big, floppy feather is far more Lord Seregil than the Rhíminee Cat, but I think Seregil would be more than happy to wear such a big, dandified thing on a job, if only to prove that he could get away with it.

Last but definitely not least is Alec í Amasa of Kerry (or Ivywell, depending on who you talk to). I thought it would be a nice bit of symmetry to have him and Seregil dress basically the same, since they're both nightrunners and whatnot. But here, I tried to reflect each character's signature weapon by giving Alec a bow (I'm saying that it's that lemonwood thing from The White Road, not his dear old Black Radley *tear*) and quiver instead of a knife. He's wearing a Mod Squad mask instead of the more sinister Zorro mask to display both his less cynical nature and his famous baby blues. Speaking of famous physical characteristics, the Enchanted Hair from the Enchanted Book is as close as I can come to the long blonde hair that is describe an estimated sixty-five million times per book. I kid, I kid, but seriously, it's somewhere between adorable and funny that Seregil is so protective of Alec's hair. Gentlemen really do prefer blondes, I guess. wink

This is mostly for a place for me to record old avatars I was especially pleased with, or costumes I've come up with on tektek that looked cool. Feel free to leave a comment. Good, bad or ugly, constructive criticism is always welcome!
