Carbon Costume

May (voiced by Annabelle Dowler) is one of the protagonists of the adventure video game It Takes Two.  The mother of Rose and wife of Cody, May finds her mind transported into a doll her daughter has made in the midst of her separation from her husband.  Cody is transported as well and they must work together to find their way home.  May’s doll likeness includes blue hair made of yarn, a yellow sweater with a blue button and rope details, patchwork pants, and a pair of black shoes.  She also wears black round-framed glasses.  To recreate her costume, take a pair of scissors to a turtleneck sweater.  You can style a blue wig into a bun and then wrap yarn around it to get closer to May’s appearance in the game.  You can also fashion a blue button from a paper plate, and add stitching details with the remaining yarn if you feel up for a little sewing.

Roberto De Niro (voiced by Kenji Matsuda and Ben Bryant) is the latest character addition to the Trigun franchise.  In the 2023 reboot Trigun Stampede, Robert is a seasoned reporter with a bit of a drinking problem.  He and his rookie partner Meryl Stryfe are dispatched to investigate and report on Vash the Stampede by the Bernardelli New Agency.  Robert appears far more disheveled than his partner, with brown hair that hangs in his face and a beige button-down that is often partially untucked.  The rest of his outfit includes a brown blazer, brown boots, black pants, and a black belt.  His mustache is darker than his beard or hair, and you can use a temporary root touch-up tool to achieve this look.  Don’t forget your favorite libation in a silver flask to complete the transformation.

Nina the Killer is the titular serial killer character at the heart of a CreepyPasta story.  Originally a fan of Jeff the Killer, Nina Hopkins turns down her own twisted path after a bad day at school.  Nina is a high school girl with long dark hair that she wears in a ponytail with a red bow and a single streak of purple.  Her outfit includes a hoodie, a black pleated skirt, and black and red striped thigh-high socks.  Perhaps the most striking aspect of Nina’s appearance is her Chelsea Smile, which you can achieve with a little liquid latex, fake blood, and some patience.

Embry G. Oliver is the protagonist of the horror game It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement.  After their parents are eaten by the monster in their basement, Embry takes over feeding the creature by making it sandwiches.  Embry lies to their neighbors about the whereabouts of their parents, claiming they are very ill.  When Dr. D. Light attempts to help Embry and their parents, he meets an untimely end, too.  Embry has long, messy white hair and wears green bunny slippers, pink striped pants, and a burgundy turtleneck sweater.  Their apron has a yellow star on the chest with a red and green stain on the lower portion, which you can recreate with a little bit of paint.

Gloria Sato (voiced by Anna Akana) works at a cafe next to the Green Family’s house in the Disney Channel series Big City Greens.  Eventually, she and Cricket become co-workers and Gloria opens her own cafe.  Gloria has pale purple skin and blue hair.  During her time as a barista at Big Coffee, she is often shown wearing her work uniform which consists of a brown hat and apron over her usual clothes; purple pants and a pink t-shirt.  You can iron a coffee cup patch onto your apron to get a closer match to her apron from the show.  Once she opens Gloria + Green, her uniform changes to a green apron, which she wears folded so it doesn’t cover her orange shirt.  She pairs the look with brown pants.  While purple body paint isn’t necessary to pull off Gloria’s look, you can certainly add it if you feel like going the extra mile.

Killjoy (voiced by Eva Feiler) is an Agent in the Valorant video game.  Born Klara Böhringer, Killjoy is originally from Germany and a nominee for the Distinguished Inventor award.  She is the fourth person to join the VALORANT Protocol after Brimstone, Viper, and Omen.  Killjoy has medium-length dark hair and round-framed glasses.  She wears distressed skinny jeans, a cropped yellow coat, a green beanie, and grey t-shirt.  Her accessories include green high-top sneakers, a fanny pack with green thigh harness, and a grey bandana.  She also wears black gloves that are missing the pinkie and ring finger, which you can cut off a regular pair of gloves in order to make your costume.  If a replica jacket seems a bit steep in price, a plain puffer coat with do just as well.

Dr. D. Light is a character from the horror game It’s Not Me, It’s My Basement.  Dr. D. Light tries to help Embry, who has told their friends and neighbors that their parents are very ill.  What he comes to discover, however, is a much darker secret involving a monster in Embry’s basement.  Dr. D. Light’s appearance is based heavily on those of a medieval plague doctor.  The simplest way to recreate his look is to purchase a plague doctor costume set, which will come with a hat, hood, gloves, and a long jacket with a cowl.  Replace the plague mask with a round white mask. With a little paint, some markers, and a dose of creativity, you can alter the mask to look more like the one from the game.  Lastly, use a sun-shaped charm and jewelry cord to make the Doctor’s necklace.

The Point Man (with motion capture by Ron Hippe) is the playable protagonist of the F.E.A.R. video game series.  The son of Alma Wade and the brother of Paxton Fettel, Point Man has served in the Army since the age of 17 and is eventually assigned to the First Account Assault Recon special forces detachment.  In the third installment of the series, Point Man undergoes a bit of a makeover, revealing long, dark hair.  He also wears a green shirt with a duct tape “P-1” patch on it, as well as sturdy tactical pants and boots.
