Carbon Costume

Crimson Countess (played by Laurie Holden) was a member of the superhero group Payback on the Amazon series The Boys.  Also a singer, Crimson Countess’ superpower is Explosive Fireball Generation and her catchphrase is “she’s the countess you can count on.”  To recreate the Countess’ look, you’ll want to focus on darker tones of red than you normally see in superhero costumes.  While full cosplay sets do exist, they can be very pricey, so if you’re willing to put in a little more effort, you can certainly get close to her onscreen look with a few simple pieces layered together.  A burgundy bodysuit is your base, over which you’ll want to layer a body harness, forearm sleeves, and high boots.  Top off the look with a red wig, shiny mask, and a cape.

Scanlan Shorthalt is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Sam Riegel. He is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. Scanlan is a gnome bard party member of Vox Machina. To support his mother, he spent time travelling with a troupe of performers. In these travels, he had an unknown daughter. When he joined Vox Machina, he came to possess Mythcarver, a legendary sword that helped the group fight the Chroma Conclave. Upon meeting his daughter, he left the party. Scanlan returned later on, earning the blessing of Ioun to become its champion. Scanlan is known for his poorly timed, inappropriate remarks and songs.

This secondary version of Kite shows up later in the Hunter x Hunter series, and is voiced in Japanese by Uki Satake, and in English by Laura Stahl.

They are a reborn version of the hunter named Kite, and proceeded to continue going by that name, even in a new form. Due to how they were born in this form, they are technically the younger twin of the King of the Chimera Ants, Meruem.

Kite has very long wine red hair that hangs in their face, a large spread of freckles, and identical vibrant pinkish-purple eyes that match their older brother’s. The outfit that they wear is very simple, similar in style rather than color to what Kite wore as a human, and is just a plain black turtle neck, black pants, and brown nondescript shoes.

Koku (voiced in Japanese by Yuki Kaji and in English by Kyle McCarley) is one of the main protagonists of the Netflix anime B the Beginning.

He is a very multifaceted character, starting off the series as a very quiet person, as we learn more about him and the lengths he’ll go to to reunite with Yuna, his quiet and personable demeanor falls away to reveal his murderous tendencies and god abilities.

His appearance does change a fair amount throughout the series, but this specific one I’ve focused on his how he looks later into season one, with messy blackish-blue hair, and two toned eyes, one greyish brown, the other a vibrant slitted blue, and impressive black wings sprouting from his back.

Koku’s outfit in this form is a bit simple, and also damaged, he has a low neck dark blue shirt, blue jeans, a pair of black boots, a brown belt, and a black jacket with front pockets.

Pike Trickfoot is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Ashley Johnson. She is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. Pike is a gnome cleric of Sarenrae and party member of Vox Machina. Raised in Westruun by her great-great grandfather, she joined the group to help them find her missing friend, Grog. She equipped the Plate of Dawnmartyr to aid in the fight against the Chroma Conclave. On her own, Pike spend some time reconstructing a new temple of Sarenrae and fortifying Whitestone. As a cleric, she can cast a resurrection spell, which was performed on a few members of Vox Machina.

Yuna (voiced in Japanese by Satomi Sato and in English by Brianna Knickerbocker) is one of the main leads in the Netflix anime B the Beginning.

She starts off as part of the Market Maker group, a circus-themed group of criminals that is keeping her brainwashed, and is used as the key to capturing the main character, Koku, as he cares very much about her. They share a very special bond, going into stories of legends.

Yuna honestly has one of the most confusing to find hair colors that I’ve ever seen in a wig, it’s almost a creamsicle color, orangey-peach as best I can tell, so I tried to find the closest thing to it. She has light blue eyes, and around them are markings typical to the other Market Maker characters, with emphasized eye makeup, and a tiny pink teardrop underneath.

Her regular outfit is very simplistic, it’s just a sleeveless short black dress, black opera gloves, black slouch boots, and a red choker.

Percival De Rolo or “Percy” is a is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube, played by Taliesin Jaffe. She is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. He is a human gunslinger party member of Vox Machina. The De Rolo family once ruled the city of Whitestone, but the Briarwoods usurped control, and Percy just escaped being murdered. Then he started dreaming about demons, which in turn inspired his weaponry. During his travels with Vox Machina, Percy reunited with his sister Cassandra and took back Whitestone. He aided the fight against Chroma Conclave with the magical cape Cabal’s Ruin. Percy and Vex’ahlia marry and have five children in Whitestone. His firearms are now known all throughout Tal’Dorei and Exandria.

Izanami (voiced in Japanese by Mitsuki Saiga and in English by Marianna Miller) is one of the side antagonists turned main cast member of the Netflix anime B the Beginning.

They have a very strong attachment to Koku due to their past history together, as well as the legend of the black winged king that they all have connections to. Izanami, along with Yuna for a brief while, was part of the Market Maker group, and is a very strong fighter, albeit using unusual techniques (a skateboard).

Izanami has very pale hair with a pinkish tinge to it, vibrant blue eyes, and some of the most elaborate makeup out of all the MM members, including drawn on brows, a spiked crescent moon under their eye, and another mouth drawn to the side of their actual one.

There are two main outfits that Izanami wears in the series, but I chose the season one version. Even as a child, Izanami wore a mix of both the boys and girls outfits at Jaula Blanca, and this carried on into adulthood, with the current outfit they wear being a long white button up dress with rainbow buttons, a black suit jacket over top, a black tie around their neck, black gloves, dark cuffed jeans, one pink and white striped sock, one purple and pink striped sock, and a pair of white and black thick soled shoes.
