Handler question

Post by Skykat »

I was directed to come here from the great Lakes rebel legion since I'm in Michigan. I started working on an Aayla Secura and hit a snag with funds but I still want to be a part of the group as much as I can.

Anyways, it was suggested that I reach out and offer to be a handler at events and I was curious as to how I would go about doing that.


Thanks in advanced.

You just did it,

Once one of the admins sees your request, they will give you access to the event section. Then you can post on the thread for an event you want to NCS (non-costume support) at.

How about telling us something about yourself? Do you know any of the current members?

I don't really know any current members except for talking to a couple people on Facebook when I started my Aayla costume, and I posted on the Rebel Legion forums back when I was working on my costume. I've gone to a few events as a participant in my custom sith.

Here's my Aayla. I need to work on her mudflaps.

Image

I was told about the 501st when I did a star wars race last year in Midland, MI. I won best costume ^_^ (this was taken after I did the 5k, body paint was having issues ^_^

Image

I was planning on going to the build event you had at the Henry Ford Museum, but I had a family even that day that I couldn't miss. I'd really like to get to know more folks and do more things.

Aayla Secura is a Rebel Legion costume. You would be joining them, not the 501st Legion with that costume choice.

You would still be using the forums here to find out about events and stuff, but yes, Aayla is a good character so that falls under the Rebel Legion.

But let us not forget guys that we can learn tips from the other legion. Yes Aayla Secura is a Jedi and there fore falls into the reble legion categories, but there is a prop that we can help with. The Lightsaber is a common element between both the 501st and the reble legions. And also we can share where to buy good materials or who to avoid.
When I'm through with that Jedi, he's gonna need a Medic

I think Ripcode was just saying Aayla is a Rebel Legion costume. Also heads up custom sith would be eligible for membership with the dark empire if you wanted to submit it.

We also need to remember that right now, this is the only forum we have for the GLB...our old one has been changed over to the Apollo Base forum for the new Ohio base.

Yeah I originally posted over there with the question, but was directed here because the rebel one is going to the Ohio base.

Once I get Aayla finished, and save up money afterwards. I will be working on Talon to apply to the 501st. However, I do want to get in on events and things like that.

*waves* Hi Lauren!! Yes I started on Aayla for MCCC and then life happened and had to take a break from the costume for a while. I'm excited to get started again and go to events.

Yes, I do want to do Dark Empire as well, but last I looked (admittedly a few months ago) They did not have a Spire around here in Michigan, and it was suggested that I try to get one going here, but I do not have the time right now to get that started. Maybe after I graduate in May.

We work with our Ohio spire; I'm a costume judge for them. Also I can't wait to see your Aayla finished. :)

I'm happy with the top part.

Her belt and mudflaps are giving me issues and I want to chuck them. Admittedly I already chucked the set that was in the picture I took at Nerdfest down in Florida.

I live up in Saginaw, and so anything down in Ohio seems like forever away.

That's OK I was just suggesting it since you have a custom sith. :)

Skyka your permissions have been updated and you should be able to see the events section.

If you wish to come to an event, please post in the appropriate event thread so the event coordinator will be expecting you.

Also you can not costume an event unless your costume has been pre-approved by either the 501st/RL depending on the costume.

I completely understand that I can not costume until I get approval. Thank you so much for updating my permissions!
