Immerse yourself into the world of Impact Fantasy as it comes to life by regional cosplayers, dressed in intricately recreated costumes from your favourite characters. Be it angels or demons, the elves are here to play!

Diane is a cosplayer from Cebu, Philippines. She loves singing, dancing, and hosting various events. Beside cosplaying, she is also a Gaming Ambassador, model/actress and Streamer.
She commented that Impact Fantasy has a vision which she also believes in, that all cosplayers, fans, and like-minded people are able to create a cosplay world that belongs to them.

Lia Bear is a cosplayer from the Philippines, she has been cosplaying for the past 8 years. Cosplaying has pushed her to become a better version of herself, like her favourite anime characters.
This hobby has made her feel accepted by people, as she didn’t have many friends when growing up. Through cosplay she was able to gain confidence and try things outside her comfort zone. It has been a scary ride, but it has made her feel the most alive.
