Flint from Mother 3

Melina from Elden Ring
Melina (voiced by Martha Mackintosh) is an important character in the action RPG Elden Ring. Melina aligns herself with the Tarnished to help them on their journey in exchange for them accompanying her to the Eldtree. If you want an exact replica of Melina’s costume, you can find full cosplay sets available for purchase. Pair this one with a wig and boots to really pull the entire look together. Otherwise, you can layer a cloak and tunic over a skirt and add a brown cinched belt to evoke a similar feel.
Ralsei from Deltarune
Ralsei is a Darkner from the Deltarune game. Ralsei is a secondary protagonist and a friend to Kris. He also acts as the party’s healer. When not wearing his hat, Ralsei appears as a white goat-like creature. When wearing his hat, however, his fur turns black in color instead. To recreate his look, you’ll need to layer a green robe, hat, and glasses over black underlayers. You can use white and black fabric markers to add details to the face mask and the front of the robe.

Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles
Shulk is the protagonist of the RPG video game Xenoblade Chronicles, and he also appears in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. He’s an 18 year old human (or “Homs” in the lore of the game) boy who prefers brains over brawn. Fourteen years prior to the game, he lost his parents during an expedition for the Monado, a powerful sword that only few can wield. Now he resides on Colony 9 where he works as an engineer and studies the Monado. The plot follows his quest to defend his home from the Mechon, a race of mechanical beings who want war with the Homs. When they attack his colony and kill his love interest, Fiona, he becomes the new wielder of the Monado. This weapon also allows him to see into the future. Shulk’s gameplay revolves around stopping the Mechon and avenging Fiona as well as learning more about the sword. Side quests reveal more about Shulk, such as his aversions to caterpillars and vegetables.
Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII
Cloud Strife is the main playable character in Final Fantasy VII and its remake. Cloud wields broadswords at his primary weapons, including the massive Buster Sword. Cloud’s appearance is similar between the two versions of the game, though more solidly black and streamlined in the 2020 remake. To recreate his look, you’ll need a sleeveless turtleneck, wide leg pants, and combat boots, not to mention his signature blond, spiky hair and larger-than-life sword.
Cornet Espoir from the Marl Kingdom Games
Cornet (voiced by Koaru Fujino in the original games and Sarah Thomas in the English dubs) is a sweet village girl with a gift for talking to puppets and making her wishes come true. She is the main character in the first Marl Kingdom game, “Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure”. By the time of the second game Cornet is Queen of Marl, leaving the adventures to her daughter.
Long before becoming queen of Marl, Cornet’s look matched her village girl life. A plaid bow in her hair matched her plaid skirt. A white turtleneck, blue vest, brown leggings, and tan boots finished off her look. She also accessorized with a simple necklace and earrings though you can leave those off or just add any you have at home. The finishing touch is a wavy honey blonde wig with bangs. Put it all together and you’re ready to have adventures of your own.
Oz from Monster Prom
Oz is the yellow playable character in the visual novel game Monster Prom. Oz is established as non-binary with masculine pronouns by default (though these pronouns can be changed in-game). Oz is made entirely of fear, which accounts for his appearance as being made of dark matter. His school clothes include a golden yellow cardigan and dark grey pants, with a gold watch. To create Oz’s look, you can use a black body suit and add his white eyes and eyebrows with fabric pens. If you’re feeling particularly creative, you could craft the small black creatures (who represent individual phobias) that attach to him by using black felt, a little stuffing, and the same white fabric pens.
Kris from Deltarune
Kris is the main character from Toby Fox’s game Deltarune. They are the human Hero of Light and the leader of their group, though that is only once they fall into the dark world. Before that, though, Kris is a kind but quiet person that some mistake for awkward or creepy. That does not stop Kris from standing by their friends, though!
There are two costumes you can use if you want to dress as Kris. The first is a pair of black jeans and black high tops with a green pullover. In this form, Kris’ hair is a dark brown. In the dark world, however, Kris has dark blue hair and wears silver armor over a dark blue body suit. The also have a cape in blue and pink that is most easily replicated with a large sheet scarf.
