Carbon Costume

The Legion is a killer in the game Dead by Daylight that consists of friends Susie and Joey, as well as Frank and Julie.  Susie is the most timid of the group, having to be spurred on by her friends in order to participate in the murder that resulted in their becoming killers in the game.  Joey is an impulsive show-off, which helped him click with Frank almost immediately.  Whether you choose to recreate just one or all four of these looks together, the Legion offers a lot of room for creativity and finding a character design that suits your personality.

The Oni is the ancestor of Rin Yamaoka and is one of the killer in the Dead by Daylight game.  Kazan Yamaoka was the son of a samurai known for his strength and demon-like fury. After his pilgrimage to end the blight of false samurai ended with him killing his father and being beaten to death by farmers, Kazan found himself in the realm of the Entity, where he now unleashes his wrath on the survivors of the game. Finding a suitable kanabo or similar club may prove expensive. However, a wooden walking stick or bo staff could be used as a substitute.

Ace Visconti is a lucky gambler who always manages to make the most of a situation.  Having grown up in Argentina, Ace was quick to take advantage of every opportunity.  However, he eventually incurred a plethora of debts, but when his enemies came to collect, it was like Ace had vanished into thin air.  Even when being hunted by killers in Dead by Daylight, Ace always has a smile on his face.

In Dead by Daylight, Charlotte and Victor Deshayes were conjoined twins forced into hiding in 17th century France. After their mother was burned at the stake, they were captured and indoctrinated by a cult. They set fire to the temple they were imprisoned in, only for Victor to be killed in the escape. Heartbroken, Charlotte wasted away, until the Entity offered a way to restore the siblings to each other.

In Dead by Daylight, Elodie Ratako, like Felix Richter, was the child of members of a secret society, who disappeared when she was a teenager. Unlike Felix, she devoted her life to finding them, until her search led her directly into the grasp of the Entity. For this costume, you’ll want to crop the shirt and paint on an orange stripe.

Max Thompson, Jr. was born deformed and spent most of his life locked away from the world by his mother and father. When he finally broke out, he brutally killed them both. Later, he continued his rampage by butchering animals and any trespassers who came onto his property. Now known as the Hillbilly, he slaughters survivors and sacrifices them to the Entity in the horror game Dead by Daylight. The Hillbilly is covered in roughly scarred skin. To achieve this effect on your face, you can use sculpting wax and 3D FX gel. If you plan to continue the look down your arms, using a flesh colored shirt can make it easier; by pinching pieces of the fabric together and gluing them, you can mimic the rippled texture of the Hillbilly’s character design.

Adiris was a young priestess at the Temple of Purgation. When a plague spread across the land and the Holy Men each fell ill, it fell to her to don the robes of her goddess and perform the rites for the disease-stricken masses. Eventually, she fell ill as well, and when she could no longer hide the infection behind crowns and incense censers, she exiled herself and prayed to god for salvation. The Entity of Dead by Daylight answered her prayers and now she serves it as a killer known as the Plague, sacrificing survivors to appease its endless appetite. The Plague is a great costume for someone who wants to take some time and get creative with their use of prosthetics, and the juxtaposition of her beautiful clothing with her disease-ridden body will certainly make for a big visual impact.

Kenneth Chase was an athletic young man whose fascination for birds led to him drugging and killing them for their feathers. Once his obsession carried over to humans and after fleeing the police in his hometown, he joined the circus under the alias Jeffrey Hawk, using the cover of a friendly clown to hide his dark nature. This allowed him to kill many victims, keeping a finger from each. The Clown now drugs and sacrifices countless survivors as one of the killers in the game Dead by Daylight. The Clown’s costume can be recreated a few ways, depending on your personal tastes. You can use a latex mask, or recreate his clown makeup by hand, and a colorful clown costume could be made to look dingy, or a more subtly colored one could be substituted in its stead.
