Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge 08

Lelouch Lamperouge may be outstanding when it comes to intellect, but he proved to be physically underwhelming throughout the series. He is constantly outpaced by his classmates in every situation, and even the simplest of tasks requiring manual labor exhaust him before he manages to complete anything significant. He does, however, display above average hand-eye coordination, both with firearms and the keyboard-based control system of the Shinkiro.

The cosplayer’s eyes are really captivating in this photo. Even his/her pose is very much in character, but I wish we could see the cosplayer’s face. Thanks again to Müberra for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for sharing Rainer Tachibana's Deviant Art!

Final Fantasy XIII: Éclair Farron aka Lightning 02

A former Guardian Corps soldier, Lightning wields a gunblade called the Blazefire Saber, which is also known as the Blaze Edge in Japanese. It is a combination of a gun and a sword, one collapsing into the other. Lightning is known to be very agile, and uses acrobatic moves in battle.

Beautiful cosplay by Rainer Tachibana! I think she really captures the character in this photo very well. Thanks to Katrina for suggesting this!
