If it's okay to ask can we see more of Snipe and do you have a name for him

I've never actually thought of giving Snipe an actual name, I'm always hesitant to give cannon characters name as I worry we'll then get a name reveal in the anime and by that point I'll be so used to the name I've given them it'll just be confusing. Plus though I love Snipe Ecto and Powerloader hold top place for my fav UA teachers - followed closley by Cementoss and Hounddog.

If you guys wanna share some head cannons with this dork go for it! I'll start off:

-He has a pet horse he treats like a puppy. He's got a cowboy aesthetic he HAS to have a horse, come on. He treats this big ass horse like a dog, practically raised it since it was a foal

-Was raised in the country and came up to the city when he was a young adult, he's become used to city life but his accent remained strong.

-Was bullied as a kid for having a gun based quirk, not many saw it as heroic

-I ship him with Midnight. Queen of flirts with the man who can't flirt for beans. Yes. They have a kid named Hana

-Drinks his I respect women juice every morning

Sadly I doubt we are gonna get a Snipe name reveal, any kind of look into his backstory would feel a bit random and out of nowhere with how the manga is rn, sooo for now I guess I'll make up a random name.

Okay so used google translate and I know that's not the most reliable thing to use when translating but this is what I came up with that I liked:

Mezashite (to aim) Kanzen (perfect)

To aim relating to how his quirk lets him control bullets, perfect aim with every shot, hence why the last name I've given him is perfect.

Do you have any tips for designing a hero costume?

Oh! That’s a really good question! This’ll be fun. I’ll list some of my observations of the hero costumes of MHA and give some examples below, but if any of my more creative followers have any input, do share!

Put an emphasis on the parts of the costume that assist the quirk. Costumes should be useful, not just stylish, and often help the hero use their physiology to the best of their abilities. This is especially useful and important to mutation-type quirks. For example, if you have a water-related quirk, maybe think wet suit-style costume (similar to Tsuyu or Selkie!). Or like Deku, he has arm pads and knee braces/leg guards to reinforce his joints because most of his moves have to do with punching and kicking, and he needs some support for his bones (because, you know, he keeps breaking them). Yaoyorozu has a revealing costume so that she can use as much skin as possible for creating stuff (some fan re-designs of the canon costume keep to that idea without being quite so fan-service-y). Tokoyami has a cloak to keep his body in as much darkness as possible. If you want a simpler example, Shoji’s costume allow his arms to have free movement, but other than that the rest is just his aesthetic choice.

Support gear might make the costume more than the costume itself. Some quirks are a little less visible than others, so they might rely more on accessories that enhance their quirks or skills rather than a costume that helps them adapt. Characters like Kaminari, Jiro, and Present Mic mainly have equipment to help amplify their quirks, while the rest of their costumes can easily be mistaken as really cool punk clothes. Sometimes the equipment might even be the focal point of the costume, like Bakugou’s grenade gauntlets. Heroes whose equipment are their main supports tend to have costumes that are designed around the equipment rather than around their quirk.

Pick an aesthetic and stick to it. It should be a bit obvious, but a cohesive character design has an aesthetic. All Might has an America theme going on. Aoyama is a great example of a character who chose a costume almost purely because of the princely aesthetic. Almost all the characters have an aesthetic that can be boiled down to one word! Uraraka is space/astronaut themed to go with her gravity quirk, Snipe’s aesthetic is literally just “cowboy”, Midnight is “dominatrix”. Iida and his family have a robot/knight thing going on. Best Jeanist speaks for himself. The Wild Wild Pussycats are cats, obviously, but they also have a band uniform appearance. You can go simple with aesthetics too, like Kamui Woods and Eraser Head’s ninja-like all-black costumes, Gang Orca’s elegant and graceful suits for his mafia boss look, or Ojiro’s karate kid aesthetic.

Don’t choose more than THREE (3) colors. This IS NOT a hard rule, but this actually comes from a general design rule I also use in web design and other stuff too. Too many colors can make the costume look too busy, with the only exceptions being possibly black/white as “link” colors (they’re really good as dividers between different costume elements/pieces) and “metal” colors like bronze, silver/iron, and gold (but these colors are purely circumstantial, and should not ALL be used at once just because they’re exceptions–they’re more like accents). If you look at the hero costumes in MHA, you’ll notice that for the most part they do tend to stick to 3 or less colors not including the “metal” color. So let’s break it down: costumes tend to have one or two main colors, one accent color, and one metal color. Deku has green, red accents, and silver metal, with black and white as separate costume pieces. He even still adheres to this in his UA gym uniform, his main colors being blue, red accents, and silver metal, again with separate black/white pieces. Uraraka’s hero costume is black and white with pink accents, and doesn’t have a metal color. Tsuyu is green and black, yellow accents, and white/tan “metal” (that isn’t technically metal). All Might is blue, red, and yellow (and white as dividers to break up the color). And so on.

Keep weather, geography, culture, and other environmental factors in mind. Don’t design a character wearing a tank top when they live in below-freezing temperatures, basically. Again, not a hard rule, but just something that might help you design your character.The environment your character lives in can easily influence what type of costume they might have–that includes environmental factors such as culture. For instance, Yoroi Musha obviously styles himself after the Japanese Samurai of the past, which could be influenced by a heritage related to that. Ryukyu seems to be wearing a qipao, which is a Chinese garment, and she may have chosen that costume because she has some relation to the culture. Even the students change costumes between spring/summer and winter, when it gets cold enough for Bakugou to need long sleeves.

If your character has a secret identity, decide on how you want to hide it. While the MHA world has been really open about hero identities, not all characters choose to forego the mask, like Eraser Head, Snipe, and Ectoplasm. And sometimes hiding your identity is useful or keep you safe, like All Might using a different form when he was getting weaker, and when Izuku and Mirio met Overhaul and Mirio used Izuku’s mask to keep Overhaul from knowing their identities. There are various ways to hide an identity, from a mask to a visor to a helmet. Sometimes even makeup might work.

Put the character’s personality into it. If your character isn’t one to show off or is someone who stays in the shadows, maybe a simpler design and less colors might be more fitting, similar to Aizawa’s Eraser Head costume. If your character wants to show off or knows how to use their appearance to their advantage, then maybe they dress to be able to do that, like Uwabami or Midnight. Or if your character likes magical girl shows or something, maybe their costume is based off a magical girl’s.

I think there’s more tips I could put here but for now these are the ones off the top of my head. Hope they help! If I think of more or my followers think of more, I’ll post them :)
