Rin Dunois
United States
I have been a cosplayer since May 2011 and have continued to do so ever since. Little did I know that I would continue doing so even to the point where I would dress up as a character of the opposite gender. I found cosplay to be an activity where I can disregard the constraints of reality. I still consider myself a novice as I do not typically make my own outfits, but I do plan to take on DIY projects for future cosplays.

I have also taken up photography since April 2012. I typically do spontaneous, figure, macro, and portrait photography as well as some photojournalism for events and such. To be honest, I tend to shy away from getting my picture taken when I'm not in cosplay.

I am an avid player of trading card games as well, particularly Yu-Gi-Oh! and Cardfight!! Vanguard and a contributor to the website, Trigger Capital, which specializes in the latter.

I am a contributor for Mission Start Podcast, a webzine for anything related to anime, video games, conventions, and the like, so I'll put links to anything I write for that website onto my journal.

You can find me at a good number of conventions throughout Northern and Southern California. If you have any suggestions, requests, or anything of the sort, don't be hesitant about them. I would really appreciate tips and critique as well for I am still relatively new to both cosplay and photography.

While I'm waiting for the photos I got taken at Fanime 2013 by Point.Click.Studios and Rave2theJPhotography (as not many hall shots of me have emerged due to :iconxdragonbladex: wanting to keep me around for card game and other shenanigans), I shall reveal my Anime Expo 2013 cosplay plans which I have just confirmed minutes ago:
Day 1: Sendou Aichi (Cardfight!! Vanguard) because Bushiroad is going to make an appearance
Day 2: Claude Faustus (Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler II) with :iconaxel-redfox: as His Highness, Alois Trancy in a butler outfit
Day 3: Hatsune Miku - "Miracle Paint" (Hatsune Miku: Project Diva) because I really got nothing else I want to bring out to display at Anime Expo and I just like this outfit a lot (What is this Los Angeles heat you speak of?)
Day 4: Nagisa Kaworu (Neon Genesis Evangelion) with :iconparadoxalkitsune: and :iconsennalover294: as Ikari Shinjis

Well then, 2 new ones and 3 male characters this time around!

Japan Expo USA 2013 is still up in the air at the moment. Due to school and the like, my cosplay lineups for PMX 2013 and ALA 2014 will probably just be some repeat cosplays I've done in the past.

After talking to good old :iconxdragonbladex:, it has been decided that she, one of my teammates from D.S.P. (The Cardfight!! Vanguard team I currently play for), and I have decided to tackle on a difficult cosplay project for Fanime 2014  ̶p̶a̶r̶t̶i̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶s̶ ̶I̶ ̶p̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶i̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶m̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶e̶m̶p̶h̶a̶s̶i̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶c̶o̶s̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶u̶p̶:

White Hare in the Moon's Shadow, Pellinore - Me
Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel - [D.S.P.] Raj
Battlefield Storm, Sagramore - :iconxdragonbladex:

Construction will begin some time after I return to Oakland after Anime Expo, and I will soon have a Facebook page for my cosplay (and maybe photography) work to document the progress.

Speaking of Cardfight!! Vanguard, Team League Regionals are coming up! The division of 3 I am in will be playing at Seth's Games and Comics in Ventura, CA this Saturday along with another one of our divisions. This is something I will try to win in particular because the two teams that place the highest will earn the invite to the World Championship Qualifier hosted at the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA! Card games aboard an ocean liner! Let's do this!

This Saturday will be eventful not just because of that, but also THIS! Hopefully I will return from Ventura on time to make it for the cosplay contest, which I have signed up to be a part of.

Oh boy, I am so anxious! >_<
