Pistols never gets old. You can see them on any anime series, movie series, and online games. A character or a job that uses pistols as a weapon to be a badass character by killing a badass monster. One Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or MMORPG that has a Gunner class which they Gunslinger is Aion. Well, there are many games that has a gunslinger class which I can choose from like Ragnarok, Grand Chase, Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy and many more. But I chose Aion because their character portrayal is close to a realistic character and I personally love their gears and weapon there.
In Aion, the Gunslinger is a new class governed by Empyrean Lord Israphel. Players start out as Technists, and become Gunslingers upon Ascension. Gunslingers use Pistols and Aethercannons. The type of weapon used will affect combat style. Aethercannons have a slower attack speed but fire great powerful blasts. Pistols are much faster, and can fire off multiple shots in succession for a more dynamic style. Besides having the gunslinger class they also have a nice set called the Hyperion which really mixes well with the class with the red aesthetics.
Our cosplayer today is Yaya Han. Yaya Han is a costume designer, model and cosplay entertainer with over a decade of experience. After discovering cosplay at Anime Expo in 1999, she quickly absorbed the heart and soul of costume design and creation. To this day Yaya has made close to 300 costumes in the genres of anime/manga, comic books, video games, sci-fi and her own original designs.
So there’s the reason for the well made outfit by one person only. It seems like Yaya Han chose this costume because she fell in love with the intricate details of the Hyperion Gunner, the color scheme Black/Red/Gold/Silver (which I would admit, really matches well) and the aesthetic of the body suit. Basically, the jacket was made out of leather and thick upholstry corduroy and everything else was embroidered and sewed scattered rhinestones over the jacket. I can say that this was one of Yaya Han’s masterpiece cosplay to date. I can’t say anything negative to the cosplay since it was well made specially because of the details that was put into the costume. The black body suit with the elegant details on the edges was great but personally I really love the red suede Jacket and the hyperion pistols.
Yaya Han is a great cosplayer with a great talent for both modelling and tailoring her costumes let’s at least support her by following her on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube Channel and DeviantArt.Let’s also support her photographer Valentin Offner for giving us the wonderful shots.
