What Embarrassing way do you dress up your characters?

[aramis]

Nothing, it started with a conversation about how Scout's dressed. From there to a discussion about the omnipresent black tee shirts of common convention wear, which lead to Hawaiian Shirt day at a local Con...

My standard description was Pathfinder Boots, Khaki Cargo Shorts with utility belt, Off-white tee shirt under a LOUD Hawaiian shirt. Often with a Khaki equipment vest and/or Ballcap.

And well variations of Tropical Print gear spread from there...

Which is interesting, as that's the Paranoia Press version ... but not canonical.

Canonical scout uniforms are a blue-gray, almost cadet blue, with gold starburst (❂ #A0AEC1 ❂).

Still, stuff worn over the ubiquitous TL14 Tailored Vacc Suit uniform is a common theme...

How else will you slip into the vacuum suit?

Hmm that brings a bit of a point up.

With reflec of course the idea is that you have a form fitting jumpsuit style, an underthing protection that is there as layered armor against lasers.

The problem with that is in vacc suits, or combat armor and battle dress far as that goes, the laser burns through the suit leaving a burnt hole through the suit even if it doesn't do damage per se.

Ooops.

So one thing to consider is that one might want to have the reflec covering on the OUTSIDE of a suit.

That's a very specific look if one buys into the shiny model of reflec functionality- everyone so equipped ends up looking like a Mercury astronaut.

Of course it could be a built-in layers of the all-in-one suits, with a concomitant increase in cost- I figure 3000Cr having to cover the whole suit plus 1000Cr extra for whatever the material is covering the shiny.

IMTU the shiny suit is a hazardous enviornment/engineer damage control suit, with the military stuff paying extra for uniform looks/chameleon option.

For the same reason Dyna-Pink wore pink.

 

[Barsanuphius]

Only three? I've a dozen.

I need to catch up. I am on a constant look out for one similar to what Allan Alda wore as Cpt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, on MASH 4077.

It's the 1970's. And the girl has to have the sweet girl pose. The bad guys will underestimate her, then she kicks his balls into his throte. :coffeesip:

Pretty sure I've seen the second pattern on eBay.

 

[SanDragon]

Hawaiian shirts?

I bid five!

 

[JimMarn]

I might suggest Cosplay convention videos on youtube. Some of those costumes are very well done. Some may NBSFW.

( Not be safe for work. )

Star Trek miniskirts and gogo boots should be enough to project a professional ambiance.

And whatever leotard they stuffed Marina Sirtis in.
