Brian Connor

Sky is a costume designer who has created some excellent and authentic replicas with his legendary craftsmanship of various trades. He has also dabbled in prop design, creating many authentic weapons and additions to his costumes. Sky is a master craftsman who likes to put his various talents to use.

JUDGE BROWN is a personalized Judge character from the JUDGE DREDD movie universe, and the character is something to live up to. Since the movie was unable to expand on the world it was set in, the making of props, vehicles or characters is left to the fan’s imagination, and with that the mechanics from Sector 519; the Hall of Justice department, has an off-road LAW bike, various con-safe props and other nuances that might be showcased at this year’s event.
Lastly, for anyone who saw the Judge Dredd movies knows that anyone can be a judge from any; gender, race, religion, orientation, and if you’re willing to uphold the LAW and protect the citizens of your city – Your Mega City Sector Justice Department wants you.

The KOI

Koi’s are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens.

Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Some of the major colors are white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream. The most popular category of Koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties….but these things simply do not apply towards our next individual. Some say he’s a figment of imagination of drunk university students, as others swear that this individual has swings from the rooftops to battle crime within the streets of Kitchener. Regardless of these things, the Koi has heard the underground rumors that Dr. Stevil will be in town. As a result, the Koi is coming to this year’s event to protect the citizens of Kichener from Dr. Stevil evil deeds .. or so we hope.
