Cosplay Guide for The Ouroboros Cycle
Baron Korbinian Alexander Albrecht von Fuchsburg
Hair: Black
Eyes: Gray
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 150 lbs.
Build: Slender
Year of Birth: 1841
Clothing:
Uniform:
As the Baron of Fuchsburg, Korbinian was also an officer in the Prussian Army (commanding the Fuchburger Regiment, a unit most famous for its light infantry). Though the mainstay of the Fuchburger Regiment was infantry, a unit of hussars was maintained so that the Baron of Fuchsburg could remain a cavalry officer, and as such Korbinian wore the dashing uniform of a hussar in the Fuchsburg colors (red and black). The hussar uniform, largely unchanged since the Napoleonic Era, including a short jacket known as a dolman, long trousers, and sometimes a fur-trimmed jacket called a pelisse (worn over the shoulder), all heavily braided. The uniform also included riding boots and a shako hat.
Civilian Clothes:
While Korbinian wore his uniform into battle and for formal occasions, he preferred civilian clothing for everyday. This naturally consisted of trousers, a waistcoat, a cravat, and either a frock coat or a morning coat (the morning coat being generally worn as part of a riding habit). The trousers, waistcoat, and coat were of different but complimentary colors.
The Duel:
During the duel at the Christmas Fete, Korbinian wore his uniform trousers and his shirt, having removed his jacket for the right. A fresh (and very dashing) cut across the cheek completes the ensemble.

*(NOTE: As with all cosplay, do not feel restricted from cosplaying a character that is of a different height and/or build from you. If you do decide to cosplay Korbinian , have fun and please be sure to send me pictures.)
