Cyberpunk Ideas

As next years Kapcon Larp, Mafia 2071, is based in a Cyberpunk world does anyone know any good reasources for ideas, pictures, etc. for costuming or even their own ideas when it comes to costuming for the setting?

Thanks

My only - and very limited - experience with cyberpunk is Shadowrun. It’s a tabletop system but the book is filled with genre stuff and lots of pictures.

I think perhaps at the very least a cyberpunk person would have a communication device implanted. Like a cell phone that’s just a chip in your ear or temple or something. If pretty much everyone has cell phones right now and most of those who do are walking around with bluetooths in their ears, doesn’t seem too far of a stretch, and it shouldn’t be too hard to costume.

A bit harder, but in line with the “old is the new new,” would be to take an old clothing style and remake it with new material. Like a zoot suit with metallic pinstripes. I’m not even sure if that exists, but that sort of idea.

Seems to me that a trip to Surplustronics is required, followed by a date with some spirit gum. Or liquid latex.

From some quick Image Googling, it appears crazy coloured hair is part of this genre. Is that correct?

Here’s a video of a French Shadowrun game. Might inspire a few cyberpunk ideas…

Well, part of the name is “punk”…

Crazy fake red hair, here I come! :smiley:

My piece of advice: Break some hardware: spare mouse, old diskman. Grab their circuit boards, they look cool when attached to you.

i have actually done something like this before. I had to create an eye implant, that would flash, but was still could been seen through. it wasn’t that taxing really. I also had to create some forearm implants, which consisted of some ram boards from an old computer protruding through the skin.

The funny thing about the original cyberpunk was that it was concieved in the 1980’s. And the “future” in which it was set is roughly modern day. Correct me if I am wrong there though but the futures imagined in the past are not quite what people thought it might be.

In my online gallery, there are a couple of examples of todays cyber stylings, and a few of my friends are active in the area. If you’re on Facebook, msg me and I can point you to the ones on my list you could approach for questioning if you like.

For electronics, I have some old PC’s etc that we could trash and re-purpose… which might keep the cost down a bit.

Otherwise… googling “futurists” might help too… they’re the guys that have possibly done all the thinking for us, as its thier job to look into possible future scenarios.

if you’re into cyber goth i can lend you some platforms, dreadfalls and UFO skirts, in high-shine PVC of course.
