WEAPONS CHECK
Please check your cosplay weapons at the Weapons Checkpoint each day. Even if you come the following day with the same
weapon, you will need to recheck it to get the new tag designated for that day. Weapons Check is in the Ticket Area in the
VCC Lower Pavilion and just up the stairs/elevator at the entrance in Crystal Garden. Our Weapons Policy is on our online
FAQ page. The Weapon Master’s decision on your weapon is final. If your weapon is not approved, you can leave it in the
Weapons Check area until you leave or take it out of the convention and enter again without it.

                                                  Brett Breeding was the man behind the idea
     VICTORIA VISITOR CENTRE                      that the straps on Hawkeye’s uniform were
           812 Wharf Street, Victoria, B.C.       not just decorative but that each box held
              www.tourismvictoria.com             an extra arrow head he could clip on to a

Linda “Linzorz” is a cosplayer from beautiful Vancouver,
British Columbia. She has been gaming since the age
of 5, under the influence of her cousin who is an avid
gamer. Her passion and love for video games naturally
led her to cosplaying, with her first time being in 2006.
Since then, she has cosplayed a variety of characters
but is best known for her portrayal of strong female
characters from fighting games.
She has attended many conventions across the United
States and been a guest cosplayer at multiple fighting
game tournaments. Her goal with cosplay is to stay
true to why she started in the first place - to exhibit
fandom and have it be a fun hobby regardless of
where it may take her. Aside from being a gamer and
cosplayer, you can find her checking out new places
to eat and could probably beat you in a pizza eating
contest.
