Crazy Dave

Pyramid Head
A strange, violent, brutal creature in the video game Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head serves as a mental manifestation of the guilt and anger bottled up inside the main protagonist James Sunderland. The pyramid shaped helmet he wears appears to cause him pain, and he never utters a word except for moans and grunts. His outfit is simple but bloody: a butchers robe, white gloves, a giant knife and the iconic pyramid helmet. Be sure to cover all clothing in a good dose of fake blood.

Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3
A priestess of The Order in the third installment of the massively popular Silent Hill video game series, Claudia Wolf seeks to birth God through a teenager named Heather. God, in this game, is an evil creature, but Claudia believes it will cleanse the world of sin. She has a violent, disturbing past with much suffering, and truly wishes to rid the world of it so that no one else can suffer like she did. Although a sympathetic character at times, her fanatical devotion to birthing God is her undoing. She dresses in long black clothing with bare feet – make sure to button up all the way and pop the collar. A touch of grey and black makeup will create that distinctive gaunt look.
B.J. Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Captain William Joseph “BJ” Blazkowicz is an OSA secret agent. He’s been fighting the Nazi war machine since his first appearance in Wolfenstein 3D way back in 1992.

Giovanni from Pokémon
As the head of Team Rocket and the former gym leader for the Viridian City gym in the Kanto Region, Giovanni chooses Persian as his Pokémon. He normally has a very calm demeanour, trusting Jessie and James despite their nearly uncountable number of failures, but he is really a ruthless and evil leader. Let’s just say his fashion style is… unique.
Professor Oak in Pokémon
Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? Professor Oak is the very first Pokémon Professor you meet in the wonderful world of Pokémon. He’s forgetful, unable to remember the name of his nephew in games and he’s always around to remind you that you can’t use a bike in the ocean. However, he is an indispensable companion to Ash (and, really, all trainers).
Peach and Daisy from Mario Sports Mix
While Princess Peach is instantly recognizable as Mushroom Kingdom’s damsel in distress in many of the Mario franchise’s games, her counterpart Princess Daisy is also a frequently appearing character in Mario spinoffs. In most titles, Daisy wears a variation of Peach’s dress with slightly different details and in a sunny orange and yellow color scheme. In the various Mario sports games, Peach and Daisy keep their respective palettes, but in athletic wear.
Koopa Troopa
The lowly Koopa Troopa is a minion of Bowser in the Mario franchise. They’re most often seen with green or red shells, and are one of the most common enemies that a player might find in-game. They’re easily disposed of by simply jumping up and bopping them on the head.
