Deanna Troi
Half Betazoid and half human, counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) of Star Trek: The Next Generation uses her Betazoid empathetic abilities to serve both ship and crew of the USS Enterprise. A beautiful, kind, gentle woman with a serious sweet tooth for chocolate, she often finds herself playing peacemaker. Throughout the series she also enjoys a number of romantic interests, especially with on-again-off-again lover Commander Riker. This guide is for her earlier outfit as counselor, before she begins to wear the Starfleet uniform.
James Sunderland
James Sunderland is the main character in the video game Silent Hill 2. On the surface he is a mild-mannered, polite, helpful, empathetic character with the sole intent of finding his wife Mary in Silent Hill. As the game progresses, the player gradually discovered that James has a much darker side and an erratic moral compass. He dresses for the outdoors, in a pocket-filled jacket and jeans along with his trusty flashlight and radio. For the signature patches, pick up some blank patches and paint them with acrylics.
Zotoh Zhaan
A member of the Delvian race, the wise and reasonable Zotoh Zhaan (Virginia Hey) is a 10th level, 800 hundred year old priest on the TV show Farscape. The Delvians evolved from plants, and so Zhaan has a special ability to heal with herbs that leads to her becoming the unofficial doctor of the rowdy Moya crew. A pacifist on the surface, she controls darker tendencies deep within her, occasionally allowing them to surface when the situation demands it. Her skin glows a beautiful blue with white markings and she dresses in shades of blue.
Francisco Scaramanga
Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) is the primary villain in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. It is he who carries the titular golden gun, using it as his assassination weapon. As the highest paid assassin in the world at 1 million dollars a hit, he is a very well dressed, well traveled man with an eye for details. No photographs exist of Scaramanga, and so Bond must search for him using his distinctive birth mark – a third nipple.
Pyramid Head
A strange, violent, brutal creature in the video game Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head serves as a mental manifestation of the guilt and anger bottled up inside the main protagonist James Sunderland. The pyramid shaped helmet he wears appears to cause him pain, and he never utters a word except for moans and grunts. His outfit is simple but bloody: a butchers robe, white gloves, a giant knife and the iconic pyramid helmet. Be sure to cover all clothing in a good dose of fake blood.

Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3
A priestess of The Order in the third installment of the massively popular Silent Hill video game series, Claudia Wolf seeks to birth God through a teenager named Heather. God, in this game, is an evil creature, but Claudia believes it will cleanse the world of sin. She has a violent, disturbing past with much suffering, and truly wishes to rid the world of it so that no one else can suffer like she did. Although a sympathetic character at times, her fanatical devotion to birthing God is her undoing. She dresses in long black clothing with bare feet – make sure to button up all the way and pop the collar. A touch of grey and black makeup will create that distinctive gaunt look.
Elektra King
The heiress of an oil fortune in the James Bond movie The World is Not Enough, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) begins as a love interest of Bond but quickly morphs into a villain. Bond discovers that she was kidnapped by the terrorist Renaud for ransom, but fell in love with him during captivity and so chooses to fight on his side against Bond. She is a beautiful, intelligent, cunning woman with a fatal streak of arrogance. Capture her look with a glamorous red beaded gown and matching jewelry.
John Crichton
After being catapulted through a wormhole while on a test flight around Earth, astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) of the cult TV series Farscape finds himself in the middle of an alien spaceship battle on the other side of the galaxy. He eventually finds his way to Moya, a living spacecraft and home to an eccentric group of aliens. Together they seek both an end to the war and a way home for each of them, meeting various nemeses along the way. He dresses in a biker-like outfit with a long trench coat.
Naomi from Supernatural
One of the oldest and highest-ranking angels in Heaven, Naomi (Amanda Tapping) commands one of the factions vying for control of Heaven in Season 8 of the long-running TV show Supernatural. An expert in extracting information and manipulation, she works her methods on the angel Castiel in order to use him to gain possession of the Angel Tablet. She dresses very simple and ‘corporate’, in a slim grey pantsuit suit with her hair pulled back and a perfect, composed posture.
Hoban Washburne
Nicknamed “Wash”, Hoban Washburn (Alan Tudyk) is the comical pilot and husband of Zoe Washburn on the TV show Firefly. He acts as the easy-going mediator and voice of reason to the rest of the cast, hesitant to run into dangerous situations and often found playing with plastic dinosaurs on his dashboard. He dresses as mellow as he acts, in coveralls with a Hawaiian shirt over top.
