Guild Wars 2

EDIT: She’s made. Thanks for all the help. Screenshots here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Need-help-making-a-Cosplay-Character/first#post6154250

That’s my album of Izuna, a niche character from two DS rogue-like games (that are awesome, and funny. Not to mention whacky).

Now, she’s a kunoichi (female ninja), so obviously, a thief-class would be best (plus how would I get THAT outfit from heavy or light armor?).

The problem is, as you may notice, Izuna wields huge katanas (daikatanas IIRC). She also uses… magic a little more.

The only medium armor class (as of yet) that uses a greatsword is a ranger. Izuna doesn’t have a pet, though. Though, the ranger does make use of some magic-like abilities, so it could, overall, be a more fitting class.

Other options for her weapons would Sword/Pistol and Sword/Dagger as a thief (she actually does have a pistol in the game, but she never uses it or forgets to put bullets in it. XD)

Finally, the issue of appearance. Obviously, there’s NO WAY I can get the exact look, and so far, female humans don’t have the spiky hair she has. However, I can get the hair color right and the eye color (and maximize her eye and iris size).

As for armor: so far I’ve found these:
Gloves: Rawhide (fingers showing, has ‘metal’ on the outside)
Shoulders: Scarf (that scarf thingie, I forgot what it was called, but I have it).
Chest: Not sure, this one is hard (suggestions?)
Leggings: Rogue Pants.
Boots: Rubicon Boots.
Head: … Well, I’d need some sort of ‘ninja goggles’ that look like cat ears, but that’s not happening. I might stick with that Thief Headband you can start out with.

So, any suggestions for armor, race (human or norn most likely), and whether to go ranger or thief? Thanks.

Also, is there a character creation simulator out there? With additional wardrobe things so you can get the look you need without having to waste money/gold trying to figure it all out? I’ve googled “gw2 character look generator” and no dice.

Your best bet would probably be the rawhide vest as the body armor slot. There isn’t really a ninja’y short kimono (no idea what that clothing is really called) in the game to be honest.

If you want to play around with looks, you can open up the wardrobe tab in the bank and click on the icons to preview them. Even if you don’t have the item unlocked you can still preview it.

Go into the game, go to the wardrobe storage panel, go through all the weapon/armor skins and find your best combination.

Yeah, I know about the wardrobe in the bank. That’s how I know those other items will work. :P

I suppose Rawhide would work best.

What about hairstyles? Human or norn for spiky hair (though, norn might be too bulky, look-wise)?

And finally, ranger or thief?

I can’t really speak to the rest of the cosplay as I have never heard of the character and have no idea what she does (thus I don’t know which profession will thematically suit her), but if you want a sword like that then you’ll need ranger so you can use Belinda’s GS. Even though a one handed blade of that ilk’s been datamined, there’s no indication it will ever be player-usable.

Then simply stow the pet for your cosplay screenshots.

I already made her. I think the Thief → S/P works fine with her. I’ll post some screenies later.

Alone from the pictures you should know that Thief is here the complete wrong decision, because that character wields a greatsword (Nodachi/Daikatana) (2handed samurai sword) and the best weapon skin that comes very very close to this ist the gemstore skin from marjory’s sisters sword. If you want to use the greatsword, you have to take Ranger, Warrior, Guardian or Mesmer.
In that case, because you said, Izuna uses also Magic, would be the best option to take Mesmer and combine this with the outfit as outfits aren’t restricted to class categories

The most likely closest thing you will get is simply using that ninja outfit which should you get together with a styling item for hairstyle, haircolor and eyecolor together with the sword skin the most closest you can get in this game for Izuna minus the goggles and minus the scarf, because sadly you can’t combine the outfits with headgear and shouldergear from normal equipment

Sorry… too late. I already made her into a thief, though, I’m pleased with how she turned out for the most part. Also, the katana greatsword skin is not available on the gemstore ATM. And what ‘ninja’ outfit? I haven’t seen one that fits. :P

And also, I really don’t want to remake her because I used my level 80 boost on her. X_X Sorry.

Now, here’s a question, should I make a new thread for the screenshots? I don’t want people to have to scroll all the way down here.

Stay on this thread. It’s not wanted that people make multiple threads on the same subject, and if you’re logged into the forum it takes you to the last post you read anyway.

All right then!

Here’s what I used:
Head: Determination Headband (hidden because hairstyle hides it).
Shoulders: Shoulder Scarf
Chest: Rawhide
Gloves: Rawhide
Pants: Rogue Pants
Feet: Rubicon Boots

Sword: Ceremonial Sabre (looks like a katana to me)
Pistol: Bronze/Iron Pistol (don’t remember which, but it looks more like Izuna’s pistol)

I have no idea what to use for her secondary weapons (thinking P/D or D/P).

I also did my best for a short, but not too short hairstyle, and I made her eye height (?) and iris size as wide as possible. So, how did I do?

This i meant

together with this

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Belinda's_Greatsword_Skin

as mesmer.

However, what you did there with thief looks also good as well, I#d just remove only the pistol, looks unfitting and go rather with S/D, offhand dagger is lesser irritating than the pistol and fits also better a ninja

Have you… played ANY of Izuna’s games? Also, I have a D/D daredevil already. Giving Izuna an off-hand dagger would give her Dancing Dagger and Cloak and Dagger. I want her to be different from my asura daredevil. :P

But thank you! I worked hard on her.

And yes, I see what you mean, but… mesmers shoot beams from their swords; Izuna uses her swords to slice people with. :P
