I have a fancy dress party to go to on the 19th Feb. It's a mate's 23rd.

The theme is "Anime"... So basically anything animated is acceptable. I don't watch much cartoons apart from the free-to-air ones like Southpark, Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy. I could basically pick any character but am looking to go as one that really suits my look and personality.

I would like to go as Bender but after the first 5 minutes the costume would be a real bitch to wear.

The suggestions I am looking for are basically characters that I may not have thought of (possibly a little obscure) that somehow suit me either in looks or in personality, or both.

A bit about me...

Personality: I am always joking with people, rarely say anything without some kind of cynical slant or sarcastic tone. Scheming all the time. Sharp, whitty, often blunt. I act blatantly self promoting in a joking way most of the time.
I also have a kind side though, I keep it hidden often because its not as fun as my scheming/joking side. I like my cars too, ie: Toyotas. I like gadgets and making often useless stuff just for fun or to excercise my creative tendancies. (Don't bother with Inspector Gadget, I cbf wearing a trenchcoat all night if I go as him).

I relate to Cartman off Southpark, Stewie or the dog off Family Guy, or Bender off Futurama. Those are the kind of characters I like but am looking for more suggestions.


Look: Due to a muscle disease I am, really skinny, and physically weak, but also tall (6ft), wear glasses.

There are two ways you can look at the physical side, a tall skinny cartoon character or a big bulky muscluar character (ie: funny because it is completely the opposite to what I look like).

Please post little pics of your suggestions if you can.
