Allan North 
Seth Bramwell
Age: 31
Definitely the odd duck of the group, Allan
is one of few members of the Cosplay Zone
who does not even reside in Arizona.
He is a Las Vegas, Nevada resident and works
there as a special education teacher for grades
3-5 at a local elementary school. Allan pursues
his professional work with a passion, and is
not above throwing in anime illustrations to
his worksheets and even doing a little
cosplay to make a lesson more engaging.
Allan began cosplaying as a hobby around 1999,
when he dressed up as James from Pokemon for
Halloween, and started to “seriously” cosplay at
the first Anizona in 2005 when he attended as
Schrodinger of Hellsing and entered a solo skit
performance in the masquerade. Despite loving
cosplay and sewing, Allan only recently learned to use a
sewing machine! All of his costumes prior to this were hand
sewn, most of them from scratch. These have included
Fuhrer Bradley and Fletcher Tringham.
Due to work schedules and geographic limitations, Allan is
not always able to join in on the Cosplay Zone’s activities,
but when he is able to, he is always eager to do so. Allan is
also in frequent contact with Jeanne and Danielle, and is often
shooting ideas their way to contribute to the creativity.
Allan’s other hobbies and interests include writing, computers,
and music. (You’d be hard pressed to find a genre he doesn’t like
at least one song from!) He thoroughly enjoys manga and internet
cartoons. He is also the proud father of three children, all of whom
are budding cosplayers.

on-stage playing one of our famous "Stage Ninja"
roles. If you don't find her there you may catch a
glimpse of her jetting to her car to run to her next gig!

Lindsay started out in the Cosplay Zone
as the "stuff holder" ..more less, our

needed, she picked up immensely fast
all of the ins and outs that it takes to
keep a smooth and seemingly flawless
Cosplay Zone performance running as a
backstage assistant & dresser. Debuting
herself periodically onstage in various
Cosplay Zone performances when needed.
Where she's been seen acting as one of the
famous and well loved "Stage Ninja's" by all audiences. Lindsay is further stepping up in acting roles as lead supporting characters in two different plays slated for late 2008 and 2010.
When she is not helping out in costuming wedged between a wall and sewing machine or painting props, you will usually find her busily text role playing, running her online guild on the famous "Gaia Online" or playing well known video games. She may also be found knee deep in research yet again for the Cosplay Zone studying manga vs. the anime series, so that all scripts can be multiply appealing to most audiences for a pleasurable and fun experience. Outside the realm of the Cosplay Zone she remains happily busy working into college towards her Art Degree.
