Character
Fei ist der Hauptchara aus Xenogears. Er ist die Reincarnation von Abel. Zusammen mit seinen Freunden möchte er die Welt von Solaris und dem dahinterstehen System Deus befreien. Er besitzt eine zweite, unkontrollierbare Persönlichkeit - Id.
Fei Fong Wong is based on the legendary Chinese hero Wong Fei Hung of Guangdong, China. He is also referred to as the -Contact-, one of the continuous reincarnations of Abel, the sole survivor of the Eldridge crash. Abel was the first being to make contact with the Wave Existence. Fei would be the final incarnation of Abel, for once the Wave Existence was freed, the gene pool returned to normal. He was dropped off in Lahan by the Masked Man who is also Kahn, his father. After the destruction of Lahan Village, Fei joined with Citan Uzuki and other allies to uncover the web of deception and manipulation surrounding Solaris and, ultimately, System Deus. Fei is able to (involuntarily) become Id, a very powerful character who is the product of Fei's pain and anguish.
Why I made this costume
Mein Gegenstück zu Elly! Xenogears wurde in Deutschland zwar nie veröffentlicht - ist aber eines der genialsten RPG, die ich kenne. Fei durchlebt eine extrem interessante Charakterentwicklung, weswegen mein Freund ihne gerne cossen wollte!
To fit my Elly or actually the other way round my bf wantet to cosplay Fei, because he is such astrong character.
Xenogears has never been releasedin Germany - but it's one of the most faszinating RPGs I ever played.
How I made the costume
Nähtechnisch gesehen war das Kostüm kein großes Problem. Oberteil und Hose mussten mit Draht etwas verstärkt werden, um den nötigen "Absteheffekt" zu erzielen. Schwierig waren das Schild (bzw. die beiden) sowie die Perücke. Es war das erste Mal, dass ich eine Perücke "gestubbt" und Teile unterfüttert" habe. Ich habe dabei auch einen dummen fehler gemacht, weshalb der Pferdeschwanz etwas zu hoch sitzt.
Concerning the sewing work, Fei was not too difficult. Just added some wire to create the poofiness of shirt and pants.
The shileds and wig took most of the time. For the first time I stubbed a wig and added foamcores. I also made a mistake, that's why the ponytail actually came out to high.
