ITT: We list the types of cosplayers we see online and at conventions

>The Quick Changre
This person has planned way too many photoshoots and quickly gets tired of dressing up as a character after being in outfit for longer than two hours. Only times you really seem them are in your hotel room, frantically trying to sort out all the wigs and clothes they brought as they rush to meet their next photographer or running to their room to change.

>The Close but No Cigar
Some people sew their outfits while others commission items from ebay or their friends. This person rips open their closet and assembles an outfit using common clothes and household items in a manner that would make MaCgyver shake his head. So what if the characters blue pants are replaced by jeans and their neon spiky hair is poorly replicated with spiky hairgel, they demand to be recognized like any other cosplayer despite not putting in the proper time or money into their clothes.

>The One Pose Pony
These people take the term "signature pose" to a whole new level. Doesn't matter if they're in a photoshoot or hall picture they got one pose in their arsenal and they're gonna milk it for all its worth. If you want something else, just ask for a new pose and you can get a great shot of the cosplayer shrugging their shoulders.

>The Lost Puppy
These cosplayers really don't have anyone to turn to and are generally nice people. Beware, if you are cosplaying from the same series as them or give any sort of positive attention they can latch onto you for the rest of the con

>The Planner
These people are hard to spot as they wear regular clothes but that's all going to change soon as they keep talking about their big plan to make this awesome dream cosplay that will knock your socks off. Then you see them at the next con in the same set of casual clothes. Expect to see a lot of characters posted on their Facebook that they want to do.
