In the Repo Radio Show with costume designer Alex Kavanagh and leatherworker Adam Smith, some interesting new information was revealed about the Repo Men. Apparently not all Repo Men dress like Nathan Wallace. In the Night Surgeon scene, some other "Repo Cadets" are standing around. Each of these "Repo Cadets" looks different because each Repo Man creates his own persona.

If you were a Repo Man/Woman, what do you think your persona would be like? Feel free to TekTek or draw them! I'd love to hear some ideas and stories. This makes for great fanfic material.

I kinda always saw those people back there but it never occured to me who they might be .... I do not like the other costumes as much as Nathan's but this might be an interesting contest to try out.

Ahh, I Want To Join This One!
I'd Have To Draw It As Opposed To TekTeking It, Though...

Some pretty cool RepoGaians here. I'm a clothing designer and I've been working on an outfit inspired by the movie. Unfortunately, all i have are rough sketches and no means to get them put online.

I find the concept of self made Repo Man Persona. I'm a role player, myself, and I can see a lot of creative uses for anything like this. But you've also got to consider, the primary function of a Repoman is to repossess the organs of those who've fallen delinquent. You are essentially a free-to-hire killer, and some people are going to fight back.

Nathan Wallace's Repoman Outfit was about damn near perfect, due to the fact that the only things one could really grasp were on the fronts of his shoulders, so grappling him from behind would be useless, considering his size. And if you grab onto the straps on the front, you're basically asking to get gutted.

From there, you've got to consider his known weapons. Blunt Companion and the Gatling gun we know for certain. But what about the rest? Obviously, it's be more complicated than that. Where does he keep his array? Does he carry around a suit case aside from the duffel bag? Are there lesser Repos surrounding him at a time.

Also, do you think there would be teams? Sets of Repo Assassins that work in groups of two, three or four? It would be mandatory for some opposition. Even Nathan, powerful though he was, couldn't take down, say, a transplanted body builder or something, someone genetically altered to be immensely strong.

...It's an interesting thought, and I'll work on a persona.

Remember Nathan used traps to get some of his targets. There was a scene that his target was caught by surprise and strung up by a rope. He could find a way to take down anyone. Also remember that he can strike any time, any day, anywhere. He is (and, of course, so are the other repomen) specially trained to be what they are.

While I agree to that, some people are gonna realize, huh, I'm like, eighty seven days overdue on my most recent lung transplant. I'd better stock up on guns.

lets see if i can describe this..

for the wears i would a long black form fitted hooded jacket with a slightly flared skirt (lots of straps, d-rings, o-rings and hooks of course)

a gas maskish thing with clear somewhat small gauged hoses connected to it running to.. guess what.. ZYDRATE! .. some device attached somewhere .. not sure where yet.. that feeds the pain killer/drug into the mask which takes a small amount/dose and vaporizes it to where it can be breathed in.. so your not totally out of it physically and mentally.. you just have this weightless mostly painless buzz goin on

anyway i would be much like me? only a repo man.. as well as an iligal street zydrate peddler in secret, extracting zydrate form my repossession victims as well as from graved corpses (altho i'm not sure if that can be done.. or if the body needs to be... well.. dead for awhile) of course i would have some deal goin on with Graverobber
