Santa/Aoi (voiced in Japanese by Kisho Taniyama and in English by Sean Chiplock) is one of the key characters in the first game in the Zero Escape game series, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.

While the rest of the characters involved in the Nonary Game in this part of the series were brought along against their will, Aoi and Akane have much greater ties to the plot than the others.

Aoi has white spiked back hair tied down with black hairbands, and greyish blue eyes. He wears a tight white tanktop, black cargo pants, and black and white boots, accessorized by a long and thin black scarf, long black fingerless gloves, and a blcak ribbon wrapped around his upper right arm.

Each brother represents a different sin, and Lucifer represents Pride.

Julian Devorak is a fugitive doctor and one of the six available love interests in the mobile game The Arcana: A Mystic Romance – Love Story.  Julian, also known as Ilya, is both charismatic and theatrical, with a flair for drama.  His patron arcana is The Hanged Man, which gave Julian the power to heal in exchange for unwanted memories.  Julian is tall and gangly, with messy auburn hair and an eye patch that covers the damaged sclera of his right eye, he also often wears a red-lined trench coat draped casually over his shoulders.  Though this exact item can be difficult to find, a more common red-lined cape or cloak can help achieve a similar look.

Osana Najimi (voiced by Brittany Lauda) is the first rival the player meets when they start the game Yandere Simulator. She serves as the game’s tutorial and a prickly one at that. Not that you’d know by looking at her style, however. She has a sweet sense of fashion that makes for an excellent cosplay.

Since the game takes place at school, most of Osana’s outfit is a standard school uniform. A white blouse with a blue sailor collar and red necktie, a blue pleated skirt, and black slip on shoes. Her personal style comes in with her long red hair pulled back in pigtails by red scrunches and decorated with a red ribbon bow, and with her pink polka dot socks.

Kyoko Kirigiri (voiced by Yoko Hikasa in Japanese and both Erika Harlacher and Caitlin Glass in English) is one of the main characters in the Danganronpa anime and game series, including Trigger Happy Havoc.  Kyoko has long, light purple hair which she wears down with a braid in the side during her high school days.  Her high school outfit consists of a purple jacket, orange tie, and pleated skirt.  In Danganronpa 3, Kyoko becomes the 14th Division’s leader, and her outfit matures a little with a purple bodycon skirt, ankle booties, and her long hair pulled back in a low ponytail.  In both versions, she wears a white long sleeved blouse and studded black gloves.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a freeware visual novel game.  While it initially appears to be a light-hearted dating simulator, things take a more sinister turn fairly quickly.  The four main characters of the game include Monika, Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki, all of whom vie for the attention of the male protagonist at different points of the game.  The girls all wear identical school uniforms that include a tan blazer, blue skirt, and orange vest.  You can choose which character to emulate depending on the socks and wig you pair with the rest of your costume.

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.

In Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator, Damien Bloodmarch is one of the dateable dads and a potential love interest of the avatar. He’s also known as Goth Dad due to his love of all things Victorian and gothic, which his quite a contrast from his day job as an IT administrator.
