Sorry this took so long, guys. Craziness got in the way for a little while there. If you're still interested, let me know, because things are definitely go for the team. Those of you that don't have a superhero name already will have to come up with one, and those of you with no costume will also have to come up with one. Yeah, yeah, I know, tights, but if we're going to be superheroes tights are part of the dress code. I mean, if you can come up with a good costume that doesn't use tights go for it. Just, uh, no black leather. Back home the X-Men did that for a while and it, uh, sorta scared some people, I think. ETA: Also, suggestions for a name would be good. I've already filled up a trashcan with ideas that were either pretty bad or already taken. I feel like Guardians should be in there somewhere, but other than that, most of my ideas aren't so hot.

	... you never said I needed a costume. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We all need costumes. We're superheroes. Can't be superheroes without names and costumes, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've got a name. That's easy. What're you gonna wear? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

My helmet - already reshaped to fit my normal sized head - and a tights style shirt with an upwards pointing triangle separating the two halves. Top half is dark brown, bottom half is sort of an earthy green. Some oversized gauntlets for my arms, going up to my elbows with a little bit of a spike jutting out from them on the bottom sections. Huge boots, like really huge, KISS-style boots, only without spikes on them, and some armored pants.

...I, uh, sort of thought about this a while ago and had all the stuff made. The entire thing has been sitting in my closet since before I had this idea.

	... that's kind of adorable. But seriously, everything for girls is either really skimpy or makes me look like a ballet dancer carrying a shortsword. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adorable? Maybe I will put spikes on the boots. Would that be more intimidating? I went looking for visual aids to prove that there were good superhero costumes for girls...and discovered that you're right. Well, you've got magic. People identify magic with cloaks. So maybe a cloak with some runework on the trim would be a good start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Everything you do is adorable, baby. Remember when you were made out of rock and I still thought you were adorable? Yeah. Thank you for agreeing with me. Dick suggested a t-shirt with a symbol on it. Maybe I'll put that on the cape too. Or some Old Abaratian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha, yeah, good point. Still going to put spikes on the boots. Little ones, not huge ones. Probably not even functional, just decorative. I'm sure there's comics out there somewhere that have good costumes for girls, but wow. Google image search has, uh, epic failed me on that one. That's a great idea!

	Just don't bump into me. ... were they good, are are you fibbing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll do my best, don't worry. They were good! I like them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If it's a sewing concern, I can handle it if you'll provide a design. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's more of a "I can't think of anything" issue. I don't need armor, I have magic. I was going to just use jeans and a t-shirt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	teenwonder 2008-07-30 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Think up a symbol, put it on a plain shirt you like, and go for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toitshour 2008-07-30 12:36 am UTC (link)
	That's genius, and totally easy. Thanks! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How many people did you end up with? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_onyxx 2008-07-30 12:29 am UTC (link)
	There's six of us, altogether. Might get more as we get our name out there. ...Holy crap we need a name. How did I forget that part? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It depends on what point you want to get across. The Teen Titans worked because we were all young and trying to better ourselves, I guess. The Justice League and Justice Society brought themselves together so they could do more good than they could separately. The X-Men are mysterious outsiders doing good to protect everyone. The Avengers... avenge? They can't all be winners.

	That's true. Hmm. I guess there's sort of a dual point here. One, I definitely want to protect people. Two, I want there to be a team that teenagers can sort of look at and go, "Yeah, even though we're young, we can still make a difference." I think Guardians should be in there somewhere...
