Carbon Costume

In the Street Fighter series, Cammy is an assassin who turns on M. Bison to become an MI6 secret agent. Cammy’s gloves and boots are well suited for combat. Her leotard and braided pigtails? Not so much.

In inFAMOUS 2, Cole MacGrath is granted the electric-based super power, which has the unfortunate side effect of siphoning energy from other humans. He’ll soon have to make a tough decision between saving thousands of Conduits like himself, or sacrificing them to save millions of people who have come to despise him.

In Assassin’s Creed II, Desmond uses an improved version of the Animus to view Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a nobleman from the late 15th century in Florence. Ezio witnesses the execution of his father and brothers by order of a corrupt official named Borgia and sets out for revenge against him and the Templars.

In King of the Hill, Luanne Platter (voiced by Brittany Murphy) is Hank and Peggy Hill’s niece. After her mom stabs her dad with a fork and their trailer home gets repossessed, she moves in with the Hills. She sometimes aspires to be a hair stylist, but is mostly lazy.

In The Last of Us, 12-year-old Sarah wakes up in the middle of the night just in time to see her dad Joel shoot a neighbor that breaks through their door. He tells her that they have to leave the house right away. He doesn’t even give Sarah enough time to put on her shoes.

In The Last of Us, Tess works with Joel to make a living as smugglers. They’re partners, and maybe a bit more. For this costume, you’ll have to cut the sleeves and distress the jeans yourself — but hopefully not by running from zombies.

In the Darjeeling Limited, Francis Whitman (Owen Wilson) is the oldest of three brothers on a spiritual journey through India. The brothers quarrel over his controlling nature, which includes everything from holding their passports to ordering their meals for them. Things aren’t all dandy for Francis either, who gets one of his $3,000 dress shoes stolen by a shoeshine boy. Come on!

In Gentlemen Broncos, aspiring sci-fi writer Benjamin Purvis has his story stolen by his idol. The famed Ronald Chevalier keeps nearly everything else the same, but changes the protagonist from a manly hero named Bronco to an effeminate one named Brutus.
