May have finally figured out some outfits that can work for Tocchix in his Commander AU, or at least decent starting points for them.
Respectively:
1. PS-S2 / 2. S2-first half of PoF / 3. post-Balthazar PoF
4. S4-EoD / 5. Gyala
[rambles under the read more]
Biggest hurdle with finding outfits is that he's a very acrobatic fighter (daredevil), so he needs gear that allows fairly free leg and arm movement.
Hard task, given most skins have "trip hazard" written all over them (buttcapes aren't the issue themselves), and it's even worse when you consider the stealth factor lol.
So... most of these are somewhat altered in my mind.
1. Not long after he becomes Commander, he swaps out the Whispers agent coat for something else, but he sticks to the rest of the uniform for personal comfort, just with Pact colors instead of regular Whispers colors.
Having the Pact symbol somewhere is an option too.
2. He progressively loses his positive vibes, with Iotta's betrayal being the turning point and everything getting worse with *gestures at HoT and S3*. He's overall exhausted yet laser-focused on getting Commander/Dragon's Watch work done.
Still sticks to Pact colors (even after leaving the Pact), just duller, so he can be a bit stealthier again.
Head is not always covered, but it does feel comfier when traversing sandstorms, the thick of the jungle and especially crowds.
3. Post-Balthazar he's a mess. Not only he has some new weird magic powers after his tooootally chill time in the Domain of the Lost, but his gear also got partially turned to ash.
Alas, his one and only priority is that there's a God to wallop for kidnapping Aurene, so he quickly puts what he can find (and himself) together and calls it a day.
4. Between PoF and S4e1 he gets a bit more used to his Specter powers, and since he can move through shadows for quick evades, he can prioritize defense a little bit more, with the shroud giving him some extra protection if that's not enough. Good call, given the uh... *gestures at entirety of S4*
Darker colors were suggested by friends, since his powers are all shadows (and his mood isn't that much brighter at first). The fur probably gets added during IBS since it's cold as balls in the Shiverpeaks.
[Not entirely sold on this but it's better than anything I had so far]
5. The fight with the Dragonvoid totally wrecked his gear again, so, since he's pretty much mastered his powers at that point and the effects of Aurene's power boost kinda lingered, he goes back to wearing lighter armor in the peaceful aftermath (and vacation) before Gyala Delve.
No idea about further changes since I'm still considering different paths for this AU for everything post-Dragon Saga.
