Chuck Shurley / God from Supernatural

Chuck/God at first reveals himself as the author of the Supernatural book series, which tells the story of Sam and Dean to legions of fans.

Mina Mongoose from Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)
Mina Mongoose is a character from the Archi Comics Sonic the Hedgehog series. Mina is one of three girls who vie for Sonic‘s affections throughout the series. Mina is also a successful singer, and her nickname “Songoose” references that. Finding purple and green striped clothing to match Mina’s exactly might be difficult, but if you stick with the green and purple color scheme while choosing pieces with a similar silhouette, you’ll be good to go! If the iridescent platform boots are too high (or too highly-priced), a pair of green shoes to match your arm warmers could easily be used instead.
Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell
Sam Fisher (voiced by Michael Ironside in nearly every iteration including Conviction) is the protagonist of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series. A decorated Navy SEAL, former CIA operative, and member of the Third Eschelon within the NSA, Sam is a formidable and deadly opponent; not someone you want to come up against in the field. In the original Splinter Cell, Sam wears camouflage pants and a tactical vest, as well as green night-vision goggles in order to complete the parameters of his mission.
Velvet from Hazbin Hotel
Velvet is an energetic demon overlord in the web cartoon Hazbin Hotel. Velvet is part of the Three V’s along with Vox and Valentino, and she is always up on the latest trends and technology. Velvet’s look is very much in line with the gothic lolita aesthetic and could be a fun opportunity to recycle an old Queen of Hearts costume if you happen to have one from a previous outing, while putting a new spin on the look.
Millie Manx from NOS4A2

Plague Knight from Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight is a 2-D side-scrolling game. In this game, Plague Knight is a member of the Order of No Quarter. As a member of the Order and a master alchemist, Plague Knight serves the Enchantress. The Plague Knight’s costume is very similar to the familiar plague doctor popular at Halloween and as part of the steampunk aesthetic. However, to create his green mak, you will need to set aside a little DIY time to either create one yourself using green fabric and an online tutorial or to paint a white mask to match the color of your gloves and belt.
Stoick the Vast from How to Train Your Dragon
Stoick the Vast (voiced by Gerard Butler) is the leader of the Vikings and father to Hiccup in the How to Train Your Dragon series.
