@ThymxsCos
"When this character released he was such a dream to pull for, and for once I did! He hasn’t left my team since. He’s such a fun character to play as in Genshin and why not have a fun time playing as him in real life as well!"
"Wherever in this world I roam, I carry memories of my home... This blade... It is the last link I have to the land of my birth."

Cosplayer background
"I want to strive to make others want to cosplay and push their limits and achieve what they never thought they could."
-@ThymxsCos
@ThymxsCos' first cosplay was Dave Strider from interactive web-comic Homestuck, which he wore to the beach. @ThymxsCos cosplays to fuel his passion for art. As a child, making characters come to life was one of his dreams.
The cosplay community helped @ThymxsCos figure out who he is. Through cosplay, he found the LGBT community and his current boyfriend. The vast community has helped him confirm his identity.
@ThymxsCos is looking forward to learning more about wig styling in 2023. @ThymxsCos likes buying cosplays, but is interested in branching out. He wants to challenge himself to work on crafting intense costumes!

Galo Thymos
Promare
Galo Thymos (back) is the protagonist of animated feature Promare. In a world with fire-powered criminals, Galo is a firefighter. Galo is impulsive but dedicated to justice,
"Galo Thymos has always been one of my favorite characters in all media. He’s a bit dumb but has a good heart and I connect with him more and more every time I watch Promare. Unfortunately his voice actor Billy Kametz passed away earlier this year and all my sympathy goes to him and his family.
