I'm not a very experience cosplayer (read: at all), so a lot of the design stuff is over my head. But I'm interested mostly in trying to pull off a male character in the military as a female. But with the same attitude and badassery, and none of the sexy "Oh look I have my flight suit unzipped teehee" shenanigans that genderbending sometimes falls into. Especially with this niche, it strays away from the character's original intended design, and defeats the purpose.
But my big problem is that I hardly look old enough to be in the military as either gender, so I'll have to try really hard to pull of the attitude.
Basically what I want to do is try to look as badass and capable and grr as a female under 5 feet, as a man about 6 feet and ten years older than me. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BAD IDEA IN RETROSPECT.
