Carbon Costume

Count Dracula (played by Nicolas Cage) is the centuries-old vampire who keeps the titular R.M. Renfield in his employ in the horror comedy Renfield.  Renfield has been the Count’s familiar for centuries, helping the intimidating vampire secure food and achieve his full power.  All is well and good until Renfield decides he’s had enough.  Count Dracula’s attire in the film varies, but you can always bet he’s wearing something snazzy and a little over the top.  Two of his best looks include a red velvet suit with a golden brooch instead of a tie, as well as an all-black ensemble that includes a fur-trimmed coat and a cane.  No matter which look you choose, you’ll need white makeup and blue lipstick to achieve a truly undead look.  Accessorize with long nails, terrifying teeth, and plenty of oversized rings.

Mori (voiced in Japanese by Mitsuru Miyamoto and in English by Keith Silverstein) is a character from the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

He is the head of the Port Mafia and horrendously ruthless to all those under him and that oppose him. He has a concerning amount of doting affection towards Elise, the embodiment of his ability.

Mori has nearly shoulder length black hair, worn back in a low ponytail. He has unkind purple eyes. The outfit he usually wears when not in doctor-esque garb is a white button up shirt, a purple tie with a black vest and pants. He wears a black long coat over it with a long red loose scarf, and finishes the outfit off with a pair of white formal gloves, and knee high brownish boots.

Q (voiced in Japanese by Haruka Kudō and in English by Tara Sands) is part of the Port Mafia in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

They are one of the more lethal members of the Port Mafia, despite being only 13 years old, due to how their ability works. Q is one of the few characters in Bungo that isn’t explicitly gendered, and is referred to as they in most official media.

Q has split colored hair, blackish-brown on the left and white-ish grey on the right, and two opposite shaped pupils in black and gold eyes (one starry, one circular). They wear a white shirt under a blue peacoat jacket, cream shorts with colored striped running along them, white high socks, and brown loafers. They accessorize with a little blue bowler hat with a yellow bow on the side, a golden scarf, and a red bag with a face on it. They also carry around the doll that ties into their ability.

Kouyou (voiced in Japanese by Ami Koshimizu and in English by Cindy Robinson) is one of the antagonists in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

She is one of the Port Mafia executives and has a similar type of ability to Kyouka, who she had under her control for a long time. Chuuya treats her like an older sister.

Kouyou has red hair tied up in an elegant traditional bun and eyes in a matching color, with makeup to compliment. She wears two floral detailed layered kimonos, with brown boots, and several hair pins and accessories in her hair.

Gareki (voiced in Japanese by Kamiya Hiroshi and in English by Greg Ayres) is the secondary main character in the anime/manga Karneval.

He’s very smart for his age and a highly competent thief, with a large distrust of people around him due to how he grew up. This has changed over the course of the series, with him growing more open towards the people that care about him, that he cares about in return.

Gareki has messy black hair and grey-blue eyes, which he wears goggles over when they’re not perched on the top of his head. He wears a black, high-collared undershirt and dark brown/maroon pants, with a long blue coat over top. The look is finished off with a pair of black gloves, and brown loafer-like shoes.

Ashley Mizuki Robbins is the main character of the Another Code video game series, in both Another Code: Two Memories (Trace Memory) and Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories.

There won’t be a large feature of character backstory for this article, as I’ve only played the first one and the sequel is available on consoles not available in my region. Will update later once I’m able to acquire a copy!

Going on to the actual cosplay though:
Ashley has short white hair, and her eyes are a bit of a difficult color to pin down due to the sprite work, but I put in a dark grey that should work.
She wears a red-orange baseball style crop t-shirt with graphic detailing on the front, dark grey low-rise jeans with a white belt, black wristbands on each arm, and black sneakers with white detailing and laces.

Nai (voiced in Japanese by Hiro Shimono and in English by Sean Michael Teague) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Karneval.

He is a very quiet and innocent person, and tends to be overly dependent and reliant on those around him. Nai has another side to his story that isn’t revealed until later on.

He has fluffy white hair that tufts out into lavender spikes on the sides and has reddish orange eyes. He wears a loose collared off-white long sleeved shirt with indigo shorts, and white heeled shoes with gold buckles, along with a cuff he wears on his wrist.

Perry (played by Jeffrey Pierce who portrayed Tommy in the original video game) is a character from HBO’s The Last of Us.  He is Kathleen‘s second in command in the uprising against Fedra in Kansas City.  Perry has long grey hair and a well-kept beard, and dresses in paramilitary garb, making him a perfectly suited lieutenant as Kathleen searches for Henry.  Recreating Perry’s look will require you to stock up on your tactical supplies.  Perry wears black pants and a well-worn green shirt, over which he dons a black tactical vest and belt.  He also wears heavy-duty boots and black gloves.

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.

Marina (Shayna Rose) is a character in the Nickelodeon series, The Fresh Beat Band. She is the drummer for the titular band. She loves cracking jokes and thinking of new ideas for the group. Her catchphrases are “Hip hop and pop” and “That would be cool.” As seen with her outfit, her favorite colors are teal and pink. Get a pair of drumsticks to complete the look.
