Quotes: Screw this. You're getting kneecapped.
Notes: Every squad needs a captain, and ours is Drakos- half of our shit would never get done without her threatening to bludgeon us into working faster.
Drakos never had a sewing machine, and had to sew all of her earlier costumes by hand. It sucked. A lot. When she got to college and was able to steal other people's sewing machines, she would sometimes sew in long straight lines just to marvel at how quickly you could sew something.
Alright, maybe not. But she wanted to. Despite those early years, she's still quite fond of hand sewing, and this has lead to her fascination with armour making, prop-building, chainmaille weaving, embroidery and the like. As such, she likes to think of new ways to tackle armour/prop making, and has a tendency to incite massive armour-making-projects.
She hopes to become better at props and the sewing side of cosplay construction. She also wants to get involved with period costumes and proper armour construction, the type that requires heavy leather and possibly a blow torch.
