Tainaka Aya

Yo, I'm Aya!! I love cute and cool vibes. I'm a kid at heart and I feel like a Jack of all Trades somewhat, as I have tons of hobbies, goals, and things I love. My favorite game is Splatoon and my favorite Final Fantasy is X! I get super nostalgic for the 80s and 90s and like that type of memorabilia.

I'm here on this Earth to help people, put smiles on faces, and have fun enjoying life while attaining my goals! I love making new friends and hope to be yours!

Jemini

Hi, I'm Jemini! I love creative things like art design , Lapidary work, leather work as well as gaming of all kinds. My favorite game is Final Fantasy 6. Drinking fancy tea, playing a cozy RPG, on a rainy or snowy day off work with my cat Aurange 🐈 next to me is my top vibes lately.

First off, woodworking is my true love. There's something incredibly rewarding about transforming a piece of wood into something beautiful or functional - whether it's a custom piece of furniture, a unique home accessory, or perhaps something entirely out of the ordinary. I'm always eager to learn new techniques and share my projects with those who appreciate the art of wood.

But my creative journey doesn't stop at woodworking. I'm deeply immersed in the world of Cosplay, where I design and build props that help bring characters from screen and page into our world. It's a thrilling challenge to interpret a character's essence through craftsmanship, ensuring every detail is just right to capture the spirit of the character.

Apart from creating, I have a knack for logistics, particularly when it comes to events. I enjoy the puzzle of moving event containers from one place to another, setting up booths, and making sure everything is in place for a seamless experience. It's all about the details, ensuring that every event runs smoothly, whether it's a local convention or a larger gathering where Cosplay shines.

Additionally, I've found my stride in the digital world through social media. I love creating engaging videos that not only promote Cosplay but also build a community around this incredible hobby. From tutorials on how to make your own props to capturing the excitement of events, my aim is to inspire and entertain while showcasing the creativity and dedication of Cosplayers everywhere.

Kenya

Heya, I'm Kenya! My favorite game of all time is Super Smash Bros Ultimate! And I'm always down to meet new players and sharpen my Toon Link! Just barely second place to that is Magic, I'm an addict and a walking card database. I love me a good thrill, hence my love for putting my feet on boards. There's nothing like that instant gratification of doing something on board that you weren't sure you could!

Some of my favorite animes are: Parasyte, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, Classroom of the Elite, Zom 100, and many more. The way Aya ended her intro really resonated with me, so exactly what she said!

David

Hi, I'm David! I like to create mobile apps and games while drinking tons of coffee. I'm into anime and cosplay. My favorite animes are Gundam and Blue Lock. I also like to read sci-fi books like the 3 Body Problem and Children of Time. My favorite game is Nioh 2 (Samurai Dark Souls!). I also love going to Memorial Park to run in a giant circle

Marshall

Hi, I'm a youngin that has a crippling addiction to gambling and playing games that would make one lose their mind. I've even been given the nickname gaming masochist in my friends serve due to my addiction to playing all the souls like games I can find.

My favorite animes are miss kobayashi's dragon maid, gurren lagann, yu-gi-yo (kiba is the real king of games) and JOJOs bizarre adventure part3.

Sarah

Hello! You can call me Sarah or Raivy (I pronounce it Ray-vee). I like to play video games, mainly rpgs, and watch anime, mainly slice-of-life. Legend of Zelda and the Yakuza series are probably my favorite game series. Its hard to say what my favorite animes are, I have quite a few nostalgic ones that I care for and I have some new ones that I'm trying to keep up with, but narrowing down a list of favorites is hard for me.

I also love attending the ren faires, usually I just go to Sherwood because of my schedule, but I hope I can start attending more faires in the future! I love dressing up in cosplay and ren faire gear, and I love making my props when I can. Crafting and planning my outfits is fun for me. I try to be resourceful with my crafting, so things may not look conventional at first, but I think I've come up with quite a few neat projects!

I also love going anywhere with good food! Trying new foods is always a blast. I was so excited to help this team out when we first met, as my mother knew people who also suffered from Lupus, and I'm happy to help more people out, especially in this nerd community. Whether that's with donations for research, or just moral support, I'm excited to continue growing our team and being there for the people that need it most!

Red

I like to nerd out over obscure old media at times and want to get into my creative side and make similarly inspired media like old genre films. Watching chill anime like Laid Back Camp is my forever fave and playing/collecting Japanese RPGs on Switch and PC. I am also a big Star Trek fan and love DS9 and Lower Decks. Cats are my religion.

Kelvin

Yellooo, nice to meet everyone. My name's Kelvin and wanna start off by saying I love doggos, anything anime pop-culture related and instrumental music. Yuki Kajiura, Hiroyuki Sawano & Yoko Kanno are my musical escape. Favorite game series are Fire Emblem, Legend of Zelda, Valkyria Chronicles and Tales. Odin Sphere & Unicorn Overlord are my top favorite. Pretty much anything RTS based will reel me in.

I've been cosplaying and crafting my own since 2015. My expertise is in foam craftsmanship (mainly armor) and would love to share my knowledge and experience I've gained in my few years of crafting with everyone. Foam-combat Larping is my go-to and has been one of my main Hobbies that helped me stay active since 2011. I've found a lot of friendships that started my journey in the anime/cosplay community and i plan for it to continue to grow nurture along with everyone else that I meet. I'm also a big foodie that loves to explore trying out new hotspots and restaurants around town.

I look forward to getting along with everyone I've yet to bond with and let's make the most out of our time we put together. 🙂

Kairi

Hey there, I am shy but I am nice and enjoy doing things. Eating and gaming are my favorite hobbies. I am a registered nurse by trade and appropriately enjoy the healer class on most RPG’s. However, I will not hesitate to annihilate any opponent who dares to challenge me. To learn more you must tread through the thick, awkward mist to talk to me in person and find out. 🙂

Izzy

I am a lover of anime, my all time favorite is Death Note. I like to take long walks on the beach, I sing in the shower, and I dance in the rain. Anyone who has met me describes me as charismatic and charming. I talk non stop, but I always listen. Happy to help anyone in need and I am always honest. Kloveubaii

Ayumi Hamasaki, Sailor Moon, Chihuahuas—all three of these things have my heart and have been the most consistent loves of my life since I was young. I enjoy reading non-fiction books while writing for the very fictional world of Seiya and Usagi from Sailor Moon. I mostly like playing side-scrolling games, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Suika.

My favorite cuisine is East Asian—Chinese, Japanese, and Korean—but I enjoy eating and cooking all other foods as well. I try to make it a point to try new things and meet new people at my old age and can’t wait to get involved however I can!
