Some might argue Broc’s Chandra was gender bent because of the shorts, but in my opinion he was merely satisfying a costume fitting requirement more than completely altering Chandra’s clothing design. I would consider both to be crossplay as he wasn’t distinctly altering the character’s canon gender, still with a distinct breastplate. ![]() For Chandra, he sported shorts instead of a skirt, but for the Wanderer he wore her traditional dress. ![]() He had the chainmail, red breastplate, red hair & goggles all easily identifying him as our fiery female friend Chandra. In a previous article we saw a male, Broc from dressing as both Chandra and the Wanderer who are both female planeswalkers (assumed, as we don’t know much about the Wanderer yet). CrossplayĬrossplay in terms of cosplay is by nature a more binary term of a cosplayer dressing opposite to cisgender norms. Your creativity, imagination, and inspiration pulled from your favorite fandoms can transform you into any character-whether is a subtle nod in the form of a casual cosplay, or a full blown 200-hour project that is as close to an identical realistic reproduction of the original art as possible. One of the most beautiful aspects of cosplay is that there are no limits, including (but not limited to) the age, race, or gender of you or the character you like cosplay is for everyone. When in costume you’re roleplaying and expressing yourself eccentrically, and who you think is cool to cosplay is completely valid, and probably more than who you might “look like.” Maybe you choose an elf with pointy ears, or a pyromancer with flaming hair, or a beastly planeswalker with a large muscular build, all which may be unattainable or unrealistic for you. Choosing to dress as a character who may be a different gender than you is no different than choosing other characters with differences from yourself. Jessica’s first cosplay ever was Sasori, from Naruto, and Urza was her first male Magic character.įrom the introduction photos alone you can see a lot of effort and detail has gone into translating the exact details of the character’s get-ups, bringing some of our favorite legends to life.
