Carbon Costume

Akane (voiced in Japanese by Miyuki Sawashiro and in English by Rena Strober [though she has a few VA changes throughout various ports]) is one of the main characters in 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors in the Zero Escape video game series.

She has heavy involvement in the core plot of the game, as well as later parts of the series, along with her brother, Aoi. Akane is also the childhood friend of the main character in 999, Junpei.

Akane has long brown, side parted hair worn up in a partial bun with white hair pins/clips, and grey-blue eyes. She wears a light indigo t-shirt dress with loose sleeves, detailed with designs around the hems, long black sleeves underneath with stripes at the ends and matching socks. Her only main accessory (aside from the nonary game watch) is a black infinity scarf, and she wears loose brown boots to finish off the look.

Rayman is the titular protagonist of Rayman, a side scrolling platform game. Made by Ubi Soft, the first installment was released in 1995 for the Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, & Sony Playstation. As Rayman, players must travel through six worlds to free all the caged Electoons. Only then will Rayman confront his enemy, Mr. Dark. This guide includes both a DIY or a simpler way by purchasing a pre-designed cosplay hoodie.

Bayonetta (voiced in Bayonetta 3 by Jennifer Hale) is the titular witch of the PlatinumGames series.  Bayonetta is an Umbra Witch tasked with protecting the multiverse alongside her apprentice Viola in the third installment of the franchise.  Bayonetta’s costume is complex and will require a little creativity to recreate.  As a base, you’ll need black leggings with a lace cutout design and a puffy-sleeved backless shirt.  Bayonetta’s belt and skirt in the game are crafted from her own hair.  If you’d rather not collect your locks to weave a costume, a black obi sash and tutu will suffice.  Lastly, you’ll need light purple gloves, glasses, and a long black wig plaited on either side with red cord.  The gold details of her outfit, if you choose to add them, can be recreated with a glue gun, some gold glue, and applique pieces.  Be strategic about which aspects of her costume are most important to you.  You can add gold flowers to the tutu, floral applique to the gloves, and even some gold details to the heels of your shoes.  Finding a replica gun from the game can be quite expensive, so consider using a toy foam blaster that will help evoke the same feel even if it’s not an exact match.

Clive (voiced in Japanese by Yuri Lowenthal and in English by Shun Oguri) is the main antagonist of the video game Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

He pretended to be a future version of Hershel Layton’s apprentice, Luke Triton, in order to make it seem like there really were time shenanigans going on, to trick them.

Due to his appearance faking, he mostly just looks like an older Luke, with similar light brown hair, and a blue newsboy cap. He wears a white button up shirt with a grey-brown vest and blue tie over top, a light blue suit jacket, brown shorts, dark blue tube socks, and brownish-black buckled shoes.

Phi (voiced in Japanese by Chiaki Omigawa and in English by Karen Strassman) is one of the main characters in the second and third games of the Zero Escape series, and for this one I’ll be focusing on her Virtue’s Last Reward design.

She has short pixie cut white hair, with two black dahlia floral hair clips sitting offcenter on her head, and greyish-blue eyes. Her outfit all follows a blue/white/black theme, with layered black and white tank-tops, a beaded long layered necklace over top of them, a black miniskirt with a blue underlayer, and she wears a light blue long cardigan. The brooch she wears attached to the coat is a lasting memento of her mother. She finishes the look off with shin-high black slouch boots.

The Twins (voiced by Anita Pudikova) are ballerina robots created as bodyguards for Dmitry Sechenov in the video game Atomic Heart.  Known as only Left and Right, the humanoid Twins were created with the most advanced technology available, making them as deadly as they are lovely.  The twins have smooth silver faces and lithe bodies.  To recreate their look, you can start with a full head-to-toe metallic silver bodysuit and layer a black leotard overtop.  If you don’t have hair long enough to style as a braided crown, use a wig, but either way, you’ll want to go heavy on the gold hairspray to get as close to the static metal hair look as possible.  Depending on which Twin you choose to play, you may also need a gold cropped jacket.  Lastly, add a red star sticker to the center of your expressionless forehead and, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can also add gold details to your elbows, wrists, knees, and feet with some fabric paint.

Mother Miranda (voiced by Michelle Lukes) is the antagonist of Resident Evil Village.  Mother Miranda was once a biologist who became a cult leader after she is infected by the Mold following the death of her daughter.  Mother Miranda experimented on villagers in the hopes of reviving her daughter, including Alcina Dimitrescu.  Eventually, she kidnaps Rosemary Winters, which draws Rose’s father Ethan as well as Chris Redfield to the Village in an attempt to thwart her.  Mother Miranda’s most recognizable costume includes a gold headdress and ornate black wings. To recreate her look, you can start with a black and silver renaissance gown and fingerless gloves.  Add the wings and drape a folded scarf over your shoulders.  If your hair is too dark, you can don a blonde wig, though it will be covered with a head wrap.  Lastly, you’ll need your gold crown and face chain mask to complete the look.
