This is Sentinel... sort of...
Le Sigh.
This name is a place-holder- there are a few dudes running around with names that are "Sentinel" variants... so it's back to the drawing board on names. The good news is that I'm still not active in costume, so I'm not deeply invested in the moniker...
I need to find something that leaves no doubt in folks minds that they're dealing with one of the good guys- I want something that inspires hope and confidence... especially since I might rework the colours on my suit's outer shell to something that will more easily blend... the possible need to GTFO if things go terribly south in an altercation can't be ignored, and that's harder to do if I'm in a bright white and red uniform... to say nothing of the cleaning...
I'm keeping the maple-leaf motif, and the red bits on the upper body armour will remain red- but most of the rest of the kit will be black. Luckily, my gadgeteer is still working on the slash/stab defense layers, and not the aesthetic layer.
Meanwhile, I'm still patrolling in civvies and doing my thing.
Be safe guys.

I read somewhere that for urban settings a really dark navy blue type color makes for better camo then black. Something about the street lights making nothing be in complete darkness. If stealth is what your looking for. Either way the red will give it away in most situations.
Just get it to what your comfortable with and go with that, if we all went for nothing but praticality stealth wise we'd all kind of look the same. And one great thing about rlsh is being able to design yourself your way.
Can't really help with the name problem, I can swear I've seen sole paladin varients as well...

Yeah, name's a placeholder, like I said.
Ideas welcome though.
