Description
It was a difficult move to decide on soley one beach ready swimsuit for Rachel considering she's in a game chock full of swimsuits. None of her actual swimsuits are all that appealing for style, but I did like others from DOA5/X3 of course. However, I don't like basic swaps or color changes without doing something unique, character-centric or at least thematic.

Ocean's Sky: I finally remembered that I was pleased with the outcome of the Will-o-the-Wisp mod I did last year, so I decided to update that with some modern meshes and materials. It's by default one of Momiji's suits and I like the style, so I built on the idea that if it were actually Momiji's suit it might be a bit snug. Throw in some of Rachel's accessories with matching colors and it has enough of a personalized flavor to it.

Ninja's Bane: As mentioned in the animation preview, I had an idea for this while playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma and working on some assets. Thought it'd be neat to work the Scarab into a costume, and then went overboard by making it the whole theme. Since the leading ladies of Ninja Gaiden Sigma tend to get themselves captured, it kind of doubles as a slave-esque kind of costume too. I used Lisa's Artemis costume and Tina's Tropical costume as bases. I like part of those costumes, but neither of them in whole. I utilized the Scarab then added some metallic materials and there it is. Why the name? Well Ninja Gaiden games are also in part hunts for obscure collectibles much like any video game, but what ninja wants to detour from killing scrubby minions just to find a bag full of shiny bugs.... That is, unless those bugs trade for an even more powerful weapon of destruction.

Off Duty Invasion: While working on XCOM mods, I had an idea similar to a past DOA mod. Both modern XCOM titles have a section in which enemies invade/attack the player's base. Naturally, this is unlikely to ever occur at a convenient time in the real world. If survival is on the line, it may not be possible to grab the gear and go. XCOM has a barracks, so I thought it'd be fun to make a costume should the invasion occur while a character is not in combat rotation.
