Sentinelbait

Sentinelbait has been active in the Oklahoma City cosplayer community for nearly ten years. Growing up queer in southern Oklahoma, Sentinelbait connected with the plight of the mutants in X-Men (eventually taking his name from the very creation meant to oppress the mutants) and found escape in the utopian future of Star Trek, particularly Voyager and its Captain Janeway. Sentinelbait enjoys expressing himself through his craft. He strives to promote inclusivity and diversity in the cosplay community, and works to cultivate a body-positive environment among his peers, especially with newcomers. You can find this cosplayer making appearances at local conventions and various charity events in the area.

Ranking: Himbos, Bimbos, & Thembos in Sci-Fi (18+)

Time to rate the finest specimens of sci-fi! In this 18+ panel, we're giving our favorite characters a "hotness" ranking, from S-tier to F-tier, based on their looks, charm, and ... well, other qualities. Whether they're dim-witted but dreamy himbos, fabulous and fierce bimbos, or suave and stylish thembos, we're putting them to the test. Join us as we argue, laugh, and maybe blush a little, ranking the best (and worst) of sci-fi's finest eye candy! Let's get saucy and see who makes it to the top tier!
