Haha, yes. This may be my last time going out for candy during Halloween and I want to make it a memorable one. I want to be my favorite protagonist, Quote, for this special occasion. There will also be a costume contest (hopefully) and I want to look just like him. Too bad nobody knows who he is D:

Now, here is what I have to get:
-Quote's hat (It is actually Ash's hat from Pokemon, but I can change it!)
-Red Jeans (Which I THINK will work)
-Black shoes
-Pale Skin (Close as I can get to white/light blue)
-Black Tank-top
I will need to:
Dye my hair black (I am blonde!)
Get a green scarf and antennas... somehow.
Maybe a gun?

Now I need recommendations from you, the forums, to make my costume look accurate. Thanks in advance.

The only problem I can see is that anyone who hasn't played the game will think you are some sort of teenage vampire. DO NOT WANT.

Since when do vampires have guns and antennas?? [Do not answer that question]

Headphones + green spray-paint. Antennas that extrude from the top of the ear-cups would be a nice detail, but not a game-changer. If you're going to cry because they're non-existant, use two green glowsticks.
Have fun.

Quote wears a tank top, not a t-shirt. Or maybe you call them both t-shirts? Also you can just wear a wig instead of dying your hair, that's what I did.

I cosplayed as Quote a few years back, maybe I'll consider giving pics.
At the very least I'll show y'all what I used for the gun, assuming I can still find it.

It was a dremeled and spraypainted nerf gun.

I kind of based my outfit off of the original looking Quote, but I guess I should wear a tank-top now. Never really liked those, though.

I would wear a wig, but my hair is really long right now (I don't want to cut it) meaning that it probably would not look very, err... 'authentic'.

Personally, I would prefer a water gun over a nerf gun. You don't have to recollect the ammo and you can have fun drenching people.
As for the pale skin, just use some monster makeup. Just don't wear fangs or add glitter.

Edit: What are you planning to put on your hat? Would you put curly brace on it or something else?
Also, are you planning to wear the full costume to school? If so, you might not be allowed to bring the gun in, even though it's a piece of plastic.

Here is the hat will look like, minus the little effort put into it.

And when I get dressed up this'll probably look a lot better O_O

I would totally go as the doctor if I weren't already planning to go as masky from MarbleHornets.
Next year, next year.

I didn't have to collect ammo, because I gutted the insides out :o
it was just a visual prop.
