The very thought of this give me chills:

If I were to dress up as UXB, we'd probably lose whatever fragile license keeps the Internet in business.

On a less disturbing note, here are some pictures of the current two favorites, seen both from the front (which is what all the other players see) and from the back (which is what I end up looking at the whole time). I haven't changed the mask on the tech suit, but I added glasses to the casual one and they look pretty good.

I like both of those, but the Jeans seem cooler... just barely though...

Still id ditch the old costume for both of those if I could...

Dress up as graveborne.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I think you need to rework UBX's secret identety Fell, the blasters on her arms kind of give her away.  Remeber Clark Kent didn't wear his cape with his glasses.

I'm agreeing with Jeffe here. To be honest, I never really liked UXB's costume.

As for the secret identity, doesn't the blue hair give her away?

Ah, but taking his glasses off didn't give away Clark Kent, did it? I mean really, there's not much difference between wearing glasses and not wearing them.

Capt. Blaze has joined a supergroup called [link=www.monkehs.com]The Monkehs[/link]. (no ninjas though)
The nifty thing is they all use Teamspeak in game. If you don't know, it's a program that lets you talk online in realtime. It makes it so much easier when planning tactics! And it's a plus to have a group to hang out with most of the time. I enjoy soloing at times but when I want to group I usually get stuck with people who think a bigger group is better which leads to overconfidence and much dying on their part.

Yeah Fell -- go with the casual and use the glasses.  I think it's funny that that labcoat guy is standing there, taking notes.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

Oh wow, Wild Jack has a mustache. I've never noticed that before. Suddenly my image of him has turned from insane killer Wolverine knock-off to insane killer trucker.

I think that the "glasses rule" supersedes the giant robot gloves: as long as UXB has glasses on, her secret identity is safe.

I'm getting a pretty common vibe from everyone: you like the casual costume with glasses a little more than the tech suit, and you like both better than the current costume. Since I happen to agree (well, I like the tech suit better than the casual) I think that's a good solution. Once I get my costume quest finished (and enough influence--I'm at 75k now, I'll probably need 80 to 90) I'll switch out my costumes and UXB will be reborn.

Costume quest takes 5 mins. Kill 30 Tsoo. Since the shop is in the Tsoo neighbourhood, and they are all greys, just use a few AoE's and your golden.

I would have to say that I love the techsuit.   But, the jeans and that are pretty cool too so...
