私の趣味がコスプレであることは皆様に既知のことと思います。今日は新たなコスプレのジャンルを創造し、「妄想追加キャラクターコスプレ」と名付けました。一般的なコスプレでは原作を忠実に再現することが重視されると思いますが、私のように匠の域に到達している者にとっては、既存の取り組みでは物足りないのです。今回のアプローチは、原作には存在しないが、原作に居そうな追加キャラクターを想像し、その設定まで作り上げてなりきることを目指したものであり、非常に深い思考を通じて導き出す、とても高度な能力が要求されます。
今回表現したキャラクターは、ドラゴンをクエストする某有名RPGの第4作目に登場する「おてんばのお姫様」の妹としました。このお姫様は、先の尖った青い帽子とオレンジ色のワンピースが特徴で、得意の攻撃方法は、空手やカンフーを彷彿とさせる武闘家スタイルです。そんな姉を持つ妹はどのような人物なのでしょうか。ここで想像力を働かせた結果、姉とは性格や特技が対照的な、知的で落ち着いた後方支援を得意とする存在と結論づけました。そのため、二人が姉妹だと分かるような帽子や服のテイストを維持しつつ、妹が持つ知性と品性を服装に表現しました。さらに、特技は炎や嵐を中心とした攻撃魔法とし、姉を後方から援護射撃する存在としました。これらの属性の魔法を特技とした理由は、行動を共にする魔法使いの老人と神官が使いこなす魔法と重複しないバランスを重視した細やかな配慮によるものです。
今回考え尽くした設定はまだまだありますが、時間の関係上ここで割愛します。しかし、その思考の深さが実在する人物のようなセリフまで生み出します。この至高のコスプレ体験を、ぜひ皆様にも挑戦していただきたく思います。
It is known to all of you that my hobby is cosplay. Today I have created a new genre of cosplay and named it “delusional additional character cosplay. In general cosplay, the emphasis is on faithfully reproducing the original work, but for someone like me who has reached the level of a master, existing approaches are not enough. The approach taken this time was to imagine additional characters that do not exist in the original work but could have been in the original work, and to build up to the setting and become them, which requires a very high level of ability, guided through very deep thinking.
The character I created for this project is the younger sister of the “tomboy princess” from the fourth installment of a well-known RPG about questing dragons. This princess is characterized by her pointed blue hat and orange one-piece dress, and her signature attack method is a martial artist style reminiscent of karate and kung fu. What kind of person would a younger sister be with such an older sister? After exercising my imagination here, I have concluded that she is an intelligent, calm, and logistical person whose personality and skills are in contrast to those of her older sister. Therefore, while maintaining the taste for hats and clothing that would identify the two as sisters, we expressed the sister’s intelligence and dignity in her attire. In addition, the specialties of the sister are attack magic, mainly fire and storm magic, and she is the one who supports the older sister from the rear. The reason for selecting these magic attributes as specialties was a careful consideration of the balance between the magic that the old wizard and the priest who work with her and the magic that she uses.
There are many more settings that I have considered, but due to time constraints, I will not go into them here. However, the depth of thought that went into this project even produced lines that sounded like real people. We hope you will try this supreme cosplay experience.
