I've always wanted to give cosplaying at a con a shot. I love doing weird crap like that! However, thanks to japanese culture im sort of left out in the cold when it comes to characters i could emulate well. WHY IS EVERY MALE LEAD CHARACTER ESSENTIALLY A GIRL WITH THE BOOBS CUT OFF AND HAIR CUT SHORT!? I'm anything but graceful looking, i'm pure hairy manliness with a carpet of chest hair so thick it would dull any blade that dared try to shave it (this may be a slight exaggeration, lightsabers are perfectly capable of shaving my chest hair)!
I'm well aware that pretty much every show also has a more masculine male supporting character somewhere in the cast, but I'm not familiar with very many. Largo from Valkyria Chronicles comes to mind, but his beard is pretty much the inverse of mine and the thought of losing my chin hairs terrifies me.
so, who are some scruffy looking male characters in anime/games that a bearded dude with tan skin could play? Auron from Final Fantasy 10 seems very doable as he lower half of his face is often hidden (thus no need to shave teh beard) and he's a more mature looking dude.
my fallback is of course Doraemon!

Oh, friend, I have a fairly similar problem... I'm fat and covered with a thicket of hair that hasn't been seen in awhile. I refuse to do anything that wouldn't look right.
Off the top of my head I can't of a proper cosplay, although if you're going to a con you don't have to particularly do an anime/video game character. At Detour there were henchmen from Venture Bros, which I want to do, since 21 is fat and neardy and such, and one of my friends looks like 24.
Good luck Chumley, and if I think of anything I'll pass it your way.

Oh, friend, I have a fairly similar problem... I'm fat and covered with a thicket of hair that hasn't been seen in awhile. I refuse to do anything that wouldn't look right. Zangief from street fighter? Mr Popo from DBZ? there are lots of hefty anime/game characters you could do of course you know its your duty to the internet to cosplay as a hot chick who wears skimpy clothes. Heck maybe i'll cosplay as a CLAMP style guy for the same reason! i actually just thought of a good one i could do. Amarant form Final Fantasy 9? Kratos from God of War? both would require body paint plus i'd have to work out to get into that kind of shape *is so out of shape* but hell i need to get in shape anyway so here's some more motivation for me! i mostly picked them based on beard style and lack of eligibility to star in a romance anime. Solid Snake? hell he's my favorite character of all time from my favorite games of all time and he certainly fits the bill. only down side is the skin tight sneaking suit dealio (which brings us back to me working out T_T) man i never thought indulging a nerd hobby would force me to work out....(sigh)

I have three cosplays that I'd like to do off the top of my head...
Gaspard from .hack//G.U. (Even though I don't like G.U.) Tsubaki from Hikaru no Go... He was just some biker dude who dressed in denim and had a beard. He would say, "The name's Tsubaki! Like the flower! Cool, huh!?" Or ... Uhm... Izumi's husband from FMA...
I'd like to do a Gijinka cosplay of Impmon though... >.>;;
But my own standards make it difficult... If I were to cosplay Gaspard he would have a massive beard.
Although I've thought about being Shiki from The World Ends With You just for shits and grins.
