[Offset path like in illustrator]

@TrevorOutlaw No sorry, I wasn't clear. That is the opposite of what i want to do. Haha, I appreciate the help but I am looking for a way to outline something and keep the original edges EVEN if they are sharp

all the outline plugins (like boltbait's, which is very helpful despite it not doing exactly what i want [thank you bot bait]) will make sharp edges rounded off in the outline. 

the outline I want sounded like another plugin that might be on this website but i haven't found it sadly. thanks anyway guys i guess I will manually do it.

Illustrator has a handy outlining tool that will outline something and not smooth off the edges. There are outlining tools for Paint.net but every single one of them wont let me make it where the outlines mirror the object directly.
