Name: Jeff or Spartan 095.
Location: Minnesota, specifically Woodbury, but very close to Hudson, WI and also the Cities.
Costuming since: Does when I was a kid count? Ha ha, cosplay has been on my mind for a while. I'd say the first time was back in 2009. Got my first Halo armor a year ago from a fellow 405th member, said he was gonna trash it but I chimed in and saved what you see in my pic.
About me: Well, for starters my name is Jeff (yes the meme from 22 jump street has hit me lol). I am 26 at the time of this post. I am a degreed Meteorologist from University of North Dakota class of 2018. Currently working at Weatherology: a radio network, where I provide forecasts and Severe weather coverage for many states (Mostly in the Mid to Upper Midwest). During time off I enjoy volunteering for TV broadcasts of High school sports events and graduations, also any volunteer opportunities that may come along. Hobbies and sports include: Tennis, Pickleball, and bowling for the sports. Hobbies: Dressing up in armor of any kind or just costumes in general. Finally, am an avid video gamer. No streaming yet, but that might change here as a few of us on 405th want to get somethin going.
Favorite Cons: Any I can make it to. Ha ha. The last one I was at was Anime Detour back in probably 2012? I think I remember Convergence too, but it's been a while. Youmacon. Halo Outpost (needs to be a regular thing).
Costumes/Props: So my list of costumes is rather on the short end, but time restraints and lack of funds hold me back.
My current Halo Suit: Originally built by Jesse Rodriquez, refurbished by me. Still needs work.
Fallout NCR Ranger: All built by me, with inspiration from etsy builds. Needs a lot of work. Almost complete overhaul.
Call of Duty Infantry: Built by me, but needs new gear as I grew out of the older stuff.
Costumes I want:
Always want newer Halo suits: EOD build from 3 is sought after as that's what I wanted in the first place.
Alphonse Elric in armor from Full Metal Alchemist.
Knight armor from Dark Souls (any game).
New updated Call of Duty Ghosts infantry or even Ghost himself.
Fallout NCR Ranger (as mentioned previously, needs work)
Fallout Brotherhood of Steel Armor: This may always be a dream, as the cost and materials would be high.
Plague Doctor full costume: played one in a Scare Zone at a Theme park... didn't let me take it home.
Anything Steampunk origin. They look awesome.
Finally, anything with a badass Helmet. Gears of War- Anthony Carmine. Love that guy
