Backstory for original costumes

[Lon]

Anyone have an original costume that they've created a backstory for?

I have a zombie gunslinger costume I've put together and I'm thinking of creating a backstory, like name, how the character got that way, etc.

I've done that a couple times. I have done that a lot for my yard displays.

Cool. That seems like a fun way to be more into it.

What have been some of your backstories?

[Rising Dead Man]

I once put on a skull mask with long white hair. And put on Dracula cape. And had a big knife. And ever since thats what I've called my character, Big Knife. He was an ordinary guy who lived in Egypt thousands of years ago but was banished for 3000 years because he murdered his family. And he came back with no face, just a skull with hair, and a cape and goes around killing people with a big knife. Not much of a story and kind of corny but I have always liked it.

I'm going as a Heath Ledger esque Joker esque Vampire this year and the backstory is- Joker was bitten by a Vampire. XD It should look pretty cool, of only I could get ahold of a damn plain white mask.
