This contest, inspired after Blueknighter's recent contest, is to see what the Spiral Knights community has customized. What unique costume have you made? Every day, or other day, I will add to a list of the most unique costumes. This doesn't mean the costume has to be from that day. These can contain any accessories, gear, and modifications. Also, modifications to height and eyes do count for your costume. As for the list, it's completely opinion-based, but no favoritism shall be done. If enough people feel that I did not put a good costume up, tell me. However, I will not allow people to tell me to take down a photo, as it may hurt said user's feelings.
I guess, I'll start with my own:

It's nice and simple, I look like a mini evolved stranger. If you can't see, I have dusky wings that match greatly with my costume. If any of you have seen me when I'm in this costume, you'll see me pretend I'm a stranger and act crazy! I call it unique because I see nobody else modeling from the Strangers, and I took it a step further as well.
Feel free to post:
-Your most unique costume
-Explanation of the costume
-A costume I should've put up, but I didn't (only if you feel strongly)
If you want to add another later, as you feel you made an even better costume, post again!

A nice angle...
Add a little luminite to bring out my eyes...
The joke about the luminite aside, I started looking for a costume when I noted the awkwardness of my own gear, which at the time, was a Dusker cap and Wolver Coat. The other way around would have been fine, but it wasn't so meh.
I started wearing my Proto gear because 1)it was the only other armour I HAD. and 2)I feel better wearing armour that looks lightweight and mobile, instead of armour that looks bulky and heavy.
Then Blast network came out, and I got the Spiral Bombhead Mask. AT first, I just wore it because it was a new shiny helmet I wanted to try ut. Then the look grew on me, and I stuck with it.
The look was slim, neat and a little shiny. I doubted ANYONE had the same costume as I did.
Then accessories came out, and I added the Proto crest to it. It seemed like a nice fit.
The only accessory I was interested in was the Mecha Wings. I never really wanted any other, the Mecha wings were my goal. Then I got luck, and I met someone who was selling them really cheaply. He wasn't ENTIRELY happy to sell it to me for the price he did; it was worth a LOT more, but he couldn't find another buyer and it was really all the crowns I had (not counting the fact he was kind enough to round down the price so I still had SOME cr to work with to play the game.)
I didn't really like the look of the wings on my helmet to start with really; I felt like I looked like a bat-head or something (looking head-on). I preferred the look on Preview.
In any case, I soon came to appreciate the truly unique look my costume had. No-one I've seen has the same costume as me, accessories included, personal colour not.
And I've worn it as my main costume ever since I got it. Switched out a few times for jokes or whatever, but I always change back as soon as I can.
