The Foundation for the Preservation of Gen 1 Pokemon

The Foundation for the Preservation of Gen 1 Pokemon (@FifthGenNotPkmn) is a group of convention panelists who have taken the art of trashposting to a whole new level. They have been a staple at conventions across northern California for the past few years, most recently giving multiple panels at Fanime 2021. Their panels cover such hot-button topics as the existence of 5th Generation Pokemon and the objective superiority of 90’s anime. They will also be part of the pre-con special and main days for Kin-Yoobi Con. We're happy and excited to have them return again for this year. We look forward to the content they put out.

Oliver “Kohalu” Holmes & Lilith “Liliphae” Holmes 

Oliver “Kohalu” Holmes and Lilith “Liliphae” Holmes are a husband and wife cosplay duo with years of experience under their belts and a staple of the Northern California cosplay community. With their extreme costume builds and clean prop work, they find their biggest joys in teaching others the art of cosplay and the work it takes to make something you’re proud of. When not crafting costumes using traditional means, the duo has found great passion in 3D printing and currently own several machines. They found great success in their operation of a small business specializing in 3D-printed cosplay props and sets of 3D resin-printed dice. As of 2021, they are one of the best selling stores on Etsy and their homemade potion dice have become incredibly popular in the tabletop gaming scene. They will be presenting a panel on Resin 3D Printing. 

Alari "Rembulan" Stark

Alari "Rembulan" Stark is newer to the Cos-Scene, having only cosplayed for 5 years....of course, not counting her school years of closet cosplays. Whem she's not cosplaying, (and even when she is!) yoi can see her spreading positivity and the importance of mental health; in and out of cosplay, and she even runs panels on the topic. Her bigger skill sets include corsetry, heavy wig styling, swimsuit making, and shoe making. She grows and learns more and more every day, sharing her knowledge on social medias and in panels so others can learn from her mistakes and triumphs!
