Modin, the Warrizard

Halloween, 2014. I'm going for a hybrid between "warrior" and "wizard." Throughout the costume searching process, I discover a long, Merlin-style beard extending down to my waist. On top if, so to speak, I find a classic "Viking warlord" helmet. I combine these two veils to create "Modin." "Modin" = "Merlin" + "Odin." "Wizard" + "Warrior" = "Warrizard." Mission accomplished. This costume, and the profile picture from it, signifies a hybrid between wisdom and drive, between Merlin and Odin, between wizard and warrior - two qualities, two archetypes, which resonate with this soul.
