Norman Jayden from Heavy Rain
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.
Benatar from Your Favorite Martian
Benatar (voiced by Ray William Johnson with Jesse Cale providing his singing voice) is a supporting character in the web series Your Favorite Martian. A member of the titular band, Benatar suffers some rougher treatment from bandmates Puff Puff and Axel, but it doesn’t seem to bother him much. To recreate Benatar’s look, you’ll need black pants and a blue suit jacket with a red tie. He also has blonde hair that sweeps over his eyes, so you might need to take a little time to style your hair or a wig. Lastly, if you don’t already have a keytar, they can be quite expensive, so don’t shy away from a toy or inflatable version instead of the real thing to complete the look.

Paul from Eddsworld
Paul (voiced by and based upon Paul ter Voorde) is a recurring character in the web cartoon Eddsworld. Paul looks a lot like Patryck, but is distinguishable by his extremely thick eyebrows and the fact that he almost always carries a cigarette with him. Paul’s look consists primarily of a blue military-style jacket with a high collar, which you can layer over grey pants and boots. If you don’t have the messy brown hair, a wig can work instead, just be sure to give it a good muss as a finishing touch to your costume.
Albedo from Ben 10
Albedo (voiced primarily by Yuri Lowenthal) is a recurring villain from the Ben 10 franchise. Albedo is a Galvan alien, but appears human in form. This transformation was the result of a failed bid to turn himself into a clone of Ben Tennyson. Albedo’s look is very similar to Ben, but with inverted colors. As such, he wears a black t-shirt and grey jeans with a red and black jacket. To easily recreate the circular patch on his jacket, you can use a white circle-shaped sticker and simply draw the number with a Sharpie marker.
Tiffany Fluffit from The Bad Guys
Tiffany Fluffit (voiced by Lilly Singh) is a minor character in the animated movie The Bad Guys.

Lucifer from Constantine
Lucifer (played by Peter Stormare) is the antagonist of the film Constantine. Lucifer was tricked into returning John Constantine‘s soul to him, which allows John the opportunity to prove himself worthy of an eternity in Heaven. Lucifer wears all white, in direct juxtaposition with the darkness typically associated with him. To cap off the look, you can use an eye pencil to draw on the tattoos visible around the collar of his shirt, and wear black socks or shoes if you aren’t up for drenching your feet in black goo.
Ethan Mars from Heavy Rain
Ethan Mars (voiced by Pascal Langdale) is one of four playable characters in the action-adventure game Heavy Rain. After another painful loss, Ethan’s son is kidnapped by the Origami Killer and he must do everything he can to save him. Ethan became a meme when the “Press X to Shaun” glitch was discovered. Ethan’s primary outfit throughout the game includes a brown jacket, blue jeans, and dark work boots. If you’re not ready to grow out your own five-o’clock-shadow, using a brown eyebrow pencil can help you shade your face to look more haggard.
