Damien Wytte is the estranged older bother of Daniela and Dorian in the webtoon series Hooky.  Damien is a witch originally raised amongst non-magical people.  After accidentally revealing his powers, Damien’s mother is nearly killed, which casues strife for his family and eventually contributes to his estrangement.  Damien is the butler and eventual love interest of Prince William, who returns his feelings even though he is married to Monica.  Unlike his younger siblings, Damien has white hair.  He is typically depicted wearing black and his clothing becomes fancier toward the end of the series.  To build your costume, start with a white wig, grey shirt, and black pants.  Layer over top a tunic, cape, and belt, as well as a pair of tall combat boots.  You can also work with a medieval royalty costume as your base if you’d like to create one of Damien’s more regal looks.

Thanos is an antagonistic character in the second season of Squid Game. He is a struggling rapper who joined the games to pay off his debts after investing in a failed crypto coin.

Takeo Masaki (voiced by Tom Kane) is a Captain in the Japanese Imperialist Army who appears in the Call of Duty video game series.  His intellect sets him apart from other soliders including “Tank” Dempsey and Nikolai Belinski.  For your costume, you’ll need to recreate a vintage military uniform.  Choose a white shirt, olive green jacket and pants, and brown boots.  Accessorize with a brown belt, pouches, and frog to hold your sword, as well as a Japanese military hat.  For weapons, you can’t go wrong with a sword.  But if you’d like to give Takeo a raygun, you may want to opt for a less expensive toy with similar features versus a replica, which can be pricey.
