I can't decide!!

Hi! This year will be my first ever con, and my first ever cosplay! I planned on coming last year, but couldn't due to financial reasons. My prom for my school this year was on the date of the convention, and i HAD to pick the convention over prom. My problem is, I CAN'T DECIDE WHO TO COSPLAY AS!! My two choices are complete opposites. For the past couple months ive been obsessing over Ezio from Assassin's Creed, but im still wanting to possibly do the cosplay ive wanted to for so long, Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji. Have there been many of either of them in the past? This is my first cosplay and i want it to be fun. I don't want to go and be 1 of 20 of the same character. Also, do most people make their own costumes, or order online? Im not handy with a sewing machine, so is ordering online acceptable in the con world? Will i stand out as a first-timer?

In all honesty, you will never know if you're going to be 1 of 20. This con gets more people every year. I think going as Ezio would be awesome. Having you're cosplay ordered really isn't a big deal. People care more about seeing you cosplay as opposed to whether or not you made it yourself. What I recommend as for deciding which one to do is looking at how much time you have, what kind of money you have available, and who you think YOU would have more fun going as. You can even go as both for the whole weekend. Just check out your resources and what you think you can pull off and be comfortable with and make a decision from there.
