Scott Shelby (voiced by Sam Douglas) is one of the four playable characters in Heavy Rain alongside Ethan Mars, Norman Jayden, and Madison Paige.  A private investigator, Scott has a tragic past that has a vast impact on the overall story.  Scott first reaches out to Lauren Winters as part of his investigation into the Origami Killer after being hired by families of the serial murderer’s victims.  Scott is a retired police officer and former Marine, and his style is closely associated with traditional P.I.-attire.  He generally wears loose-fitting dress shirts and ties, but his most memorable piece of clothing is his long tan trench coat.

Madison Paige (voiced by Judi Beecher) is one of the four playable characters in the video game Heavy Rain.  A journalist, Madison meets Ethan Mars while he is searching for his son, the latest victim of the Origami Killer.  Along with the other characters, her fate is determined by the player’s choices throughout the course of the game.  Madison wears several outfits in Heavy Rain, but her most memorable is probably the tight black skirt, red blouse, and black heels she wears to the Blue Lagoon.  Otherwise, she also dons dark jeans and a few different jackets.  So if short skirts aren’t you’re thing, pair a moto-style jacket with bootcut jeans and a short black wig and you’re ready to go.

Wild Woody is the titular character of 1995 Sega video game.  Wild Woody must gather the scattered pieces of a totem pole by erasing enemies and creating sketches to help him in his quest.  To recreate this wacky pencil, you have two choices.  While pencil costumes do exist, few of them are oriented in the same way as Woody.  Still, you could get close by layering one over a black bodysuit and adding gloves and yellow sneakers.  If you’re up for something a little more impressionistic, you can layer a yellow sleeveless shirt and pink shorts over a bodysuit and then add a cone-shaped cap.  Give your pencil a nice sharp-looking tip by using a black fabric marker.  You can even add a silver belt to stand in as your eraser holder.

Regina Mills (played by Lana Parilla) is the Mayor of Storybrooke in the TV series Once Upon a Time.  Regina, who is later revealed to be the Evil Queen, has trapped fairy tale characters in this real-life town with no memory of who they truly are.  She is also the adoptive mother of Emma Swan‘s son Henry, and the half-sister of Zelena.  As Mayor, Regina dresses in professional-looking dresses and suits, often layered under smart-looking coats, likely due to the fact that Storybrooke is located in Maine.  To recreate Regina’s look, focus on flattering silhouettes and well-coifed hair, and don’t be afraid to pair it with a dark lip color.

Rebecca (voiced by Alex Cazares in English) is a character from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.  Rebecca is a petite and sharp-tongued mercenary with a soft spot for David.  Rebecca has white skin adorned with pink tattoos.  Her clothing is minimal, including a black bra and underwear as well as an oversized jacket with matching boots and headband.  Plenty of cosplay sets exist for Rebecca, though you can also go the more interpretive route by wearing a black bikini with high tops and a bomber jacket.  Either way, you’ll want a mint-colored wig as well as pink body paint and a steady hand to recreate Rebecca’s body art and complete your look.

Zoe Baker (voiced by Giselle Gilbert) is a character in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.  Zoe’s parents and brother are victims of Eveline’s mind control, which Zoe manages to evade by reading a letter from Mia Winters.  She helps Mia’s husband Ethan escape her family’s clutches, which eventually results in punishment in the form of crystallization by Eveline.  To recreate Zoe’s look, you can either choose to dress as she does herself, or emulate her crystallized form.  The first is fairly simple, requiring loose-fitting jeans, a tank top, and loafers.  If you’re up for the challenge of being crystallized, a rhinestone-studded bodysuit with a white wig and makeup to match can help replicate the creepy and ethereal appearance from the game.

Takato Matsuki (voiced by Brian Beacon) is the main character of Digimon Tamers.  Digimon Tamers is the third season of the anime series Digimon.  In an interesting twist, the third season takes place in a world where the first two exist only as a television show, making for a wild surprise when Takato creates a Digiegg and hatches his Digimon Guilmon.  Takato has wild brown hair and wears goggles on his head.  His clothing consists of a short-sleeved blue hoodie, yellow wristbands, grey pants, and green sneakers.

Agent Norman Jayden (voiced by Leon Ockenden) is one of the four playable characters in the gritty adventure game Heavy Rain.  Agent Jayden is tasked with investigating the Origami Killer who abducted Ethan Mars‘ son.  He also struggles with drug addiction and subsequent withdrawal symptoms.  Agent Jayden’s costume is pretty straightforward; a dark-colored suit and tie that befits the seriousness of his position.  To replicate the futuristic Added Reality Interface (ARI) device he uses during the game, you can snag a pair of dark sunglasses and a single compression glove for your write hand.
