[ODST327]

Hi all, I'm making a new thread here as it's been over a year since I was active and I've also gender transitioned since then. If anyone could help me get in contact with a moderator I would greatly appreciate it-- I couldn't figure out how to do so for the life of me and I would like to get the old thread deleted to get rid of the incorrect info about myself. Now on to the fun part!

Name: Star
Profession: CDL Operator
Age: 26
Favorite Hobbies: Digital Art, Gaming, Cosplay, Writing, etc
Favorite part of Halo: Military paraphernalia design honestly. From armor to weapons to vehicles-it's all really intriguing.
Favorite Halo Game: Halo 3: ODST, closely tied with H2A
Favorite Video Game: Mass Effect Trilogy or Ark Survival Evolved (I really like dinosaurs )
Other Interests: Film, Palentology
Favorite Food: Steak is always a good choice but I cook a mean citrus chicken.
Favorite Bands: Starset- they are honestly just on a whole 'nother level..., Glitch Mob definitely.
Favorite Movie(s): :| this is one of the toughest questions to answer. I can never narrow it down. I guess I'd have to go with Empire Strikes Back.

I'm a non-binary cosplayer, digital artist, and all around nerd. You can refer to me by my name or they/them! I'm definitely not new to cosplaying- I've been with the Star Wars groups for years now but have taken somewhat of a backseat on that while slowly building a 3rd Mandalorian. I've done a few costumes from different fandoms like Mass Effect but Star Wars keeps seeming to pull me back in haha. Finally picking back up (again) on my goal to make a Halo kit- which is an ODST that I started last year. Sadly covid hit right around that time and while I thankfully didn't get sick, it impacted my job a lot and that created stress that kept me from working on the kit. I tend not to be too active online and just blaze through the work-WIP threads are never my forte (lol)- but I will do my best to try and update my thread as I progress. Hopefully this time I can see this through to the end. I did make a promise to a friend who went off to the army so I can't let them down.

Have you built/made a costume before?: Yes, but only a couple that involve foam armor, one being in progress, still.
Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: Just my Titanfall clan; Barcode
