Carbon Costume

Johnny Cage (voiced by Andrew Bowen in Mortal Kombat 11) is an action movie star and martial artist.  He is one of the seven original characters from the Mortal Kombat game series.  Johnny is a bit of a showboat and an airhead, but that does not detract from his fighting prowess.  In Mortal Kombat 11, Johnny’s look is more military-like than in previous iterations.  He wears a tactical vest and pants, with a black long-sleeved shirt, combat boots, and sunglasses.  Unless you can DIY Johnny’s “CAGE” belt, it might be hard to find, so look for a large silver buckle to use as a stand-in.

Dr. Carla Radames (voiced by Courtenay Taylor) is the person responsible for the creation of the C-Virus in the Resident Evil video game franchise.  In Resident Evil 6, Dr. Radames undergoes a transformation as part of Derek Simmons’ Ada Project, which turns her into a doppelganger of Ada Wong.  In her new appearance, Dr. Radames has short black hair and wears a blue dress with red scarf and belt.  She also uses Ada’s signature Hookshot weapon.  When seeking a gun to replicate the one she uses in the game, look for something futuristic-looking and mostly silver in color.

Ada Wong (voiced by Courtenay Taylor in RE6) has gone through several different iterations (and outfits) since she was introduced to the Resident Evil franchise.  In RE6, she’s back with a slightly more practical look for her chosen profession.  To recreate her appearance in this version, you’ll need black leather gloves, pants, and stiletto boots, as well as a red button-down shirt left open, with the sleeves rolled and the collar popped.  A real crossbow is likely outside the budget for a costume, so stick with the pistol worn in her shoulder harness, or opt for a smaller, more toy-like version instead.

In Brawl Stars, Gus is a boy who passes time in an abandoned train ride, with his balloons as his only companions. He uses them in battle too, tossing them at enemies to do damage.

In the adventure game Stray, Momo is a Companion Robot and a member of the Outsiders. Momo resides in an apartment in the Slums, where he’s lonely and depressed, only a TV with poor signal to keep him company. His long Hawaiian shirt may be a reference to Max Payne, who often wore tropical shirts even in the snow.

Leslie Withers (voiced in Japanese by Kengo Kawanishi and in English by Aaron Landon) is one of the secondary yet key characters in the horror game The Evil Within/Psycho Break.

He is a trauma patient at Beacon Mental Hospital, and is the only person out of the group that gets dragged into STEM that is compatible with Ruvik’s mental transference studies enough to potentially be his new vessel.

Leslie is very pale, possibly due to albinism, and as such has nearly colorless eyes, as well as pale platinum blonde hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. He’s covered in a variety of wounds and skin irritations, some of which could be self-inflicted, or part of the abuse he went through at the hands of the doctors he was in the care of.

The outfit he wears throughout the game is the standard Beacon patient wear, with a greyish white long sleeved straightjacket type shirt that has the Beacon logo on the chest, as well as matching strapped pants. They are both excessively dirty, possibly with a combination of dirt and blood.

Lara Croft (voiced by Camilla Luddington) is back in the latest iteration of the well-known adventure game.  Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third, and reportedly, last, game in the Survivor Timeline of the series.  Lara’s look remains as gritty and practical as in earlier installments, with dark cargo pants, fingerless gloves, and a blue and black tank top as her primary costume.  It’s unlikely you’ll find pieces to exactly match her in-game outfits, so focus on getting as close as you can.  Lara uses a pickaxe that would set you back several hundred dollars, so if you decide to accessorize with one, don’t be afraid to go with a cheaper model.

Dahlia Hawthorne (voiced in Japanese by Rina Satō and in English by Dani Chambers) is one of the key characters in Phoenix Wright’s backstory, debuting in Turnabout Memories, the first episode of the third Ace Attorney video game, Trials and Tribulations.

She has a long string of plots and attempted/completed murders connected to the plans she’s tried to pull over the course of the past events of that case, including pretending to be Phoenix’s girlfriend in college, and causing mass amounts of misfortune to befall a large chunk of the cast at that time.

Dahlia likes to portray a more innocent act to make people believe her more in court and in general, and has a very soft appearance, with a gentle face.

She has straight auburn hair that falls to her mid-back, pulled into two styled braids at the top, grey-brown eyes with emphasized lashes, and she wears a white strappy summer dress with pink trim detailing, a sheer pink shawl, white chunky open toed heels with white butterflies on them, while carrying a domed white parasol with a pink sheer trim, and has white butterflies with pink wing tips flying around her in most of her sprites.
