Love and Deepspace hands a cosplayer a lot of material: Hunter uniforms with sci-fi trim, myth costumes built on robes and armour, formal gowns, and the plain everyday clothes the five love interests wear between missions. Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus and Caleb each own a colour and a hair shade, and the customisable Hunter lets you bend the main character toward your own face and hair. In my experience these characters are identified first by wig colour, then by silhouette, then by one prop, so that's the order I spend money in. A convention build and a thrift-store version can both read clearly if those three are right. The thirty looks below run from signature uniforms through myth companions, casual outfits and duos to a full five-person group.
Wig Fibre Decides Most of These Characters
Five of these men are identified by hair colour before anything else, so the wig deserves the biggest share of the budget. Xavier is silver-blond, Sylus silver-white, Rafayel dusty purple, Zayne black with a cool blue cast and Caleb a warm brown. Pale and pastel fibres show shine and thin wefting far more than dark ones do, which is why a bargain silver wig can look plastic under a camera flash while a cheap black one gets away with it.
How I cut and set them
- Buy heat-resistant fibre if you plan to wave or flatten it. A low iron or a hairdryer will shape it, while standard fibre frizzes near heat.
- Cut fringes dry on a head form, pointing the scissors up into the hair rather than straight across. Take off less than you think you need.
- Thin heavy layers with thinning shears from underneath so the top stays smooth.
- For swept-back styles like Sylus, strong hairspray plus a hairdryer on cool sets the shape, and a few hidden bobby pins at the crown hold it.
- Wear a wig cap close to your own hair colour and put the wig on after makeup, so foundation doesn't rub into the hairline.
If you'd rather skip a wig altogether, the customisable Hunter and the casual outfits are the honest choices. A dark-haired Main Character works on most natural hair. A love interest without his hair colour has to lean hard on props to be read at all.
1. Main Character Hunter Uniform Cosplay
I'd point a first-timer here, because the Hunter uniform reads as the game without any coloured wig at all. The base is a fitted white jacket with black panels, shoulders that hold their shape, and silver or blue trim. Under it goes a short black skirt with opaque tights, or fitted tactical pants if that's the Hunter design you prefer. Black knee boots need a sole you can stand on for hours; I walk around the house in them for an evening before any event. Long dark brown hair with soft face-framing layers is the familiar version, though your own hair is fair game for a customised Hunter. Clean brows, a rosy lip and a touch of silver shadow, then the Hunter badge, black gloves, a utility belt and a glowing blue orb rather than a weapon.
2. Main Character Nightwalker Cosplay
Nightwalker is the Main Character in black, and the trick is keeping it from looking like an ordinary night-out outfit. The silver accents do that job. A structured black top with an asymmetrical neckline, a faux-leather waist piece, and slim trousers or a layered mini over shorts make the base, while a long dark coat adds movement in photos. Leave the shorter wig sections loose around the face and wave the rest. Smoky grey shadow and a sharp liner with a muted rose lip carry the mood. A narrow choker, fingerless gloves, silver ear cuffs and a futuristic ID card finish it, with low-heeled combat boots for the walking. Reflective tape is a cheap way to add sci-fi lines, but stick it to a test scrap first, because some tapes lift off stretchy fabric within an hour.
3. Main Character Formal Dress Cosplay
The formal gown is a photo costume more than a hall-walking one, and I plan it that way. Pick a floor-length gown in one pale shade, such as icy silver or soft pink, with a fitted bodice and a little crystal work. A removable sheer cape or a light overskirt gives the floating quality from the formal scenes, and making it removable means you can take it off before you sit down to eat. Wear the dark hair in glossy waves or a low half-up style held with small silver pins. Pearly shadow, soft blush and a pink satin lip. A fine choker, drop earrings, silver gloves and a small star-shaped clutch are plenty. Under a full hem nobody sees your feet, so I'd always choose low block heels or embellished flats over stilettos.
4. Xavier Deepspace Hunter Cosplay
Xavier's uniform is about restraint. Start with a white fitted jacket with grey panels, metallic piping and a high collar, then straight black trousers, a utility belt, black gloves and slim ankle boots. The short silver-blond wig is the piece that makes him Xavier. I cut the fringe while the wig sits on a head form, a little at a time, because pale fibre shows every blunt line. Natural foundation, taupe around the eyes and lightly defined brows keep his gentle expression. A Hunter badge, a small communication device and a blue-white light orb are enough props. Resist adding pouches; his version looks best clean, with sharp tailoring and cool colours doing the work.
5. Xavier Lumiere Cosplay
Lumiere is the brighter, heroic Xavier. The look comes from an ivory long coat with pale gold trim, fitted white trousers and a structured high-neck shirt. For the shoulders, layered details or a short cape in a light fabric keep it wearable, and I'd avoid anything that needs boning to stand up. Style the silver-blond wig with soft volume and a neat fringe. Champagne shimmer and a pale highlight at the inner corners of the eyes match the coat. White gloves, a gold brooch and a glowing star prop, then white or cream knee boots with gold craft-foam panels. White costumes show every mark, so I carry a stain pen and dress last, after makeup and hair are done.
6. Xavier Lightseeker Cosplay
Lightseeker suits anyone who wants fantasy armour without losing an elegant line. A fitted cream tunic and slim white trousers sit under a long ivory coat with silver embroidery. The shoulder and chest armour should be thin EVA foam painted pearl white. Heat-shape it so it curves over the shoulder instead of sitting flat, and seal it before painting, or the paint soaks in and looks chalky. The wig wants an airy, slightly windswept finish. Cool contour, pearl highlighter and almost invisible liner. A pale blue crystal brooch, fitted gloves, a sheer cape and a glowing handheld crystal, with white knee boots trimmed in silver. If you'll be outdoors, add a flexible clear sealant over the paint, since painted foam cracks once it gets damp and then bends.
7. Xavier Casual Hoodie Cosplay
Need something comfortable that still reads as Xavier? His everyday clothes are pale and layered: a light grey or cream hoodie under a loose white knit, straight neutral pants and clean white sneakers. On its own that's just an outfit, so the wig and one small planet brooch carry the character. Let the silver-blond layers fall over the forehead, keep the makeup minimal with soft brown liner and a muted pink lip, and carry a star phone charm or a small plush. Halls get warm, and this is the costume where you can peel a layer off without breaking the look. A thick, stiff sweater makes the shoulders look boxy and leaves you too hot by noon, so pick a breathable knit.
8. Xavier Cat Butler Cosplay
The cat butler set mixes formal tailoring with a café joke. Start with a fitted white shirt, an ivory vest, a narrow neck ribbon and tailored white or pale grey trousers, then a cropped jacket with silver buttons and fine blue piping. The silver-blond wig, white cat-ear headband and detachable tail tell people who you are before they notice anything else. Draw a tiny pale nose highlight and lengthen the eyes with delicate liner; full animal face paint would be wrong for him. White gloves, a small tray of star-shaped treats and white loafers or low ankle boots. I always mount a tail on a separate belt worn under the waistband. Pinned straight to trousers, its weight drags the back of them down every time you walk.
9. Zayne Doctor Cosplay
Zayne's doctor costume is the cheapest one in the list and among the easiest to get right. A clean white lab coat goes over a fitted black or dark grey shirt, tailored trousers and a slim belt. Add an ID badge and a plain watch, but leave out real medical labels or equipment. The wig is a short black one with a cool blue undertone, side-parted, with a few strands across the forehead. Matte foundation, straight brows, grey-brown shadow and a little contour under the cheekbones support his restrained face. Carry a blank clipboard or a snowflake notebook and wear black loafers. Press everything. Zayne is defined by how immaculate he looks, and a creased lab coat undoes the character faster than a wrong wig shade.
10. Zayne Foreseer Cosplay
Foreseer is icy and ceremonial, and it photographs well, but it's a lot of fabric to move in. The base is a long white robe with silver-grey underlayers and a structured waist sash. For the pale blue embroidery you can use fabric paint, iron-on vinyl or careful appliqué. If the robe is polyester, test the vinyl on a seam allowance first, because too much heat puckers synthetic fabric. Pair a short dark wig with cool blue highlights and soft swept bangs with frosted silver shadow and pearl highlighter. Light shoulder ornaments and a sheer white cape add ceremony without pinning your arms. Carry a clear acrylic snowflake or a glowing crystal, hide white boots under the robe, and sew snaps inside the cape and sleeves so the long sections come off quickly in a crowd.
11. Zayne Master Of Fate Cosplay
Master of Fate takes Zayne into flowing traditional shapes in black, white and icy blue. Layer the robes and hold them with a wide structured belt. The outer panels should stop clear of the floor; I mark the hem while wearing the shoes I'll actually use, because a hem set in socks ends up too long. The long black wig goes into a high half-up style with the rest falling smooth down the back. Cool grey eyes, straight brows and a muted lip. Silver hair pieces, blue tassels and an embroidered collar are the details people recognise. A folded fan or blue charm suits photos, with flat black fabric boots underneath. Lightweight satin or a matte crepe drapes properly. Upholstery fabric is heavy and refuses to sit in folds.
12. Zayne Dawnbreaker Cosplay
Dawnbreaker is the darker Zayne, and it's very easy to build from a regular wardrobe. A fitted black turtleneck, slim trousers and a long charcoal coat with a raised collar form the outfit. Navy panels or reflective blue piping add the futuristic edge. The black wig should be a little more tousled than the doctor version. For the tired, distant mood, a wash of grey shadow under the eyes, controlled contour and a matte neutral lip are enough; there's no need for wounds or graphic makeup. Add black gloves, a silver watch, a snowflake pendant and a dim blue light capsule, with slim black boots. The reflective trim helps the dark coat show up in indoor photos, where black on black otherwise turns into one shape.
13. Zayne Cat Butler Cosplay
Zayne's cat butler outfit is the soft one. A crisp black shirt goes under a white or icy blue vest, with fitted black trousers and a formal tailcoat. Silver buttons, pale blue piping and a narrow ribbon tie keep him in his cool palette. The wig is tidy and black with bangs, and the black cat ears sit on a thin headband. Choose a headband the same colour as the wig so it disappears into the hair. Clean matte skin, subtle grey liner and a tiny nose highlight. Carry a small tray with snowflake motifs or a plush snowman, and wear black gloves and polished shoes. Keep the tail short enough to clear the floor and fix it to an internal belt.
14. Rafayel Artist Cosplay
Rafayel's artist look is relaxed and colourful, and easy to make your own. Wear a loose white or lavender shirt with the collar open and fitted cream trousers, then layer a paint-marked apron or soft cardigan in pinks, violets and blues. The wig is dusty purple with fluffy face-framing layers and a longer fringe. Rosy eyes, glowing skin and a soft berry lip suit him. His prop is a clean paintbrush, a sketchbook or a palette crusted with dried acrylic. Silver rings, a fine necklace, small earrings and white loafers or lavender sneakers finish it. I paint the apron marks with fabric paint and heat-set them; ordinary craft acrylic flakes off and ends up on everyone you hug.
15. Rafayel Abysswalker Cosplay
Abysswalker puts Rafayel in a desert-style infiltration outfit, and the mask matters as much as the clothes. Wear a fitted dark top, tapered trousers, a draped purple waist sash and a long asymmetrical coat in black and deep violet. Style the dusty-purple wig with windswept layers. Smoky plum shadow, warm contour and a light decorative half mask. Before buying a mask, check how much it narrows your view; one that sits low on the cheekbones hides the floor in front of your feet. Gold chains, fabric wraps and violet stones add texture, and an ornamental compass or small crystal stands in for a weapon. Wear dark knee boots, and tack every hanging panel at the waist so it swings without wrapping your legs.
16. Rafayel Lemurian Sea God Cosplay
The Lemurian Sea God is the competition-level Rafayel, and it takes the most work in the list. Layered robes in pearl white, ocean blue, turquoise and soft violet make the base. Scale texture can come from iridescent fabric, sequin appliqué or foam pieces cut one at a time along the shoulders and waist; foam scales are slow to make but light to wear. The long lavender wig wants flowing waves, braided sections and pearl ornaments. Blue-violet shadow, a luminous highlight and tiny pearl accents at the temples. Sheer fin shapes at the shoulders, a jewelled chest piece and sheer panels suggest moving water. Carry a shell or glowing orb, and hide pale fitted boots under the robe. I test iridescent fabric under a bright lamp and a phone flash, because some of it photographs as flat grey.
17. Rafayel God Of The Tides Cosplay
God of the Tides keeps the ocean theme but adds structure. A long blue and white coat with a fitted waist, sculpted shoulders and gold trim goes over slim white trousers and a high-neck top with turquoise embroidery. Sweep the front of the purple wig away from the face so the ear jewellery shows. Pearly blue makeup, defined lashes and a coral lip. Shell clasps, chiffon panels and a jewelled collar join a translucent water-drop ornament or glowing shell as the prop. White knee boots get blue covers. A structured coat traps heat, so I line it with something thin like cotton voile rather than a second layer of the outer fabric.
18. Rafayel Cat Butler Cosplay
Rafayel's butler version should look artistic and a little playful. A lavender shirt goes under a white fitted vest, with slim violet trousers and a cropped tailcoat with pink piping. Lavender cat ears and a curved tail match the dusty-purple wig and its fluffy bangs. Plum liner, bright blush and a glossy rose lip. His tray can carry faux macarons, painted shells or fish-shaped cookies to tie the café joke back to the sea. White gloves, layered necklaces, gemstone cuff links and purple loafers or white ankle boots. I angle the ears slightly outward rather than straight up, which softens the shape and suits the looser wig.
19. Sylus Red And Black Cosplay
Sylus is sharp black tailoring, deep red and silver, and the coat carries most of it. Start with a fitted black shirt with the top buttons open, tailored trousers and a long black or burgundy coat. A red waistcoat or a faux-leather harness belt gives the layered line. The short silver-white wig is pushed back with a few textured strands near the forehead; firm-hold hairspray and a hairdryer on cool are how I get fibre to stay back. Defined brows, muted red shadow and sharp contour. Red contact lenses are optional and only worth it if they're properly fitted by an eye-care professional. Black gloves, silver rings, a crow pin and a mechanical bird go with pointed black boots. Use a faux leather with some stretch so you can sit down in it.
20. Sylus Abysm Sovereign Cosplay
Abysm Sovereign turns Sylus into a dragon. Start with a fitted black tunic, dark trousers and a long asymmetrical coat lined in burgundy. Lightweight foam armour sits at the shoulders, chest and forearms, painted charcoal with a little red metallic dry-brushed on the raised edges so the shapes read from a distance. Sweep the silver-white wig back and fix small curved horns to a headband hidden under the fibre. Red-brown shadow and strong contour, with fine scale patterns at the temples; pressing a fishnet stocking over cream shadow gives a quick scale texture. A detachable black cape, claw jewellery and a red brooch, a glowing crimson crystal instead of a weapon, and tall black boots with textured covers. Keep the horns small. Big ones catch on doorframes and on other people.
21. Sylus Biker Cosplay
The biker version is the one you can assemble from regular clothes. A fitted black shirt, dark straight jeans and a structured faux-leather motorcycle jacket make the base. Burgundy panels, silver zips and a waist chain tie it to his palette. Push the silver-white wig back with a strong but flexible product. Defined brows, red-brown liner and sculpted cheekbones. Wear fingerless gloves, silver rings and red-lensed sunglasses, and carry a light decorative helmet or a mechanical crow. Motorcycle boots with cushioned soles are worth it. A rigid jacket and very tight jeans look right standing still and wrong the moment you sit for a photo, so I always do a sitting test before buying.
22. Sylus Boxing Cosplay
Boxing Sylus is the sporty take. A black sleeveless athletic top with red piping, loose training pants and a satin hooded robe in deep burgundy. His emblem can go on the back of the robe in removable iron-on vinyl; satin scorches easily, so use a press cloth and a low setting. Keep the wig swept back and the makeup matte, with sharp brows, a little red shadow and defined cheekbones. Wrap the hands in clean black athletic tape or soft costume wraps, loosely enough that your fingers don't go cold. A red towel or a water bottle is the prop, with high-top black trainers underneath. A moisture-wicking base layer means the robe can come off between photos without leaving you damp.
23. Sylus Cat Butler Cosplay
Sylus's café butler is bold formal style with a joke attached. Wear a black satin shirt, a fitted burgundy vest, tailored black trousers and a long coat lined in red. Silver buttons and a narrow red neck ribbon add contrast. The swept-back wig pairs with black cat ears that have dark red inner panels. Crisp liner, strong contour and a muted berry lip. Mount the black tail on a hidden belt and add fitted gloves, silver rings and an ornate serving tray. A mechanical crow perched beside faux café treats makes the tray his and nobody else's. Polished black boots finish it. A heavy lining drags the lapels out of shape, so I use a light satin.
24. Caleb Farspace Fleet Pilot Cosplay
Caleb's pilot outfit leans on his link to aviation and the Farspace Fleet. Look for a fitted black or navy flight jacket with white shoulder panels, yellow trim and mission patches, worn with a dark fitted shirt, utility trousers and a solid belt. The short dark brown wig has neat, slightly lifted layers and a friendly side fringe. Natural makeup, straight brows, warm contour and a little liner. Fingerless flight gloves, an ID tag, a headset and a light pilot helmet, then sturdy lace-up boots. Keep the patches fictional and tied to the game rather than copying real military insignia. A thrifted bomber is the usual starting point; printable transfer sheets and fabric paint give it crisp details, and I wash the jacket first so the transfer bonds to clean fibre.
25. Caleb Colonel Cosplay
The colonel uniform is formal Caleb. It starts with a structured white or dark navy jacket with a high collar, black shoulder panels, gold or silver piping and rank-style bars that are clearly made up. Fitted trousers, white gloves and polished knee boots go with it. Keep the brown wig controlled and swept off the eyes. Defined brows, soft brown shading and natural lips. A dress cap, an ID card and a rolled mission map are the props. A long coat looks good outside but should come off indoors. Glued shoulder decorations droop by the afternoon, so I sew hidden snaps under the collar and shoulder pieces and they stay level all day.
26. Caleb Mechanical Mind Cosplay
Mechanical Mind is darker and technical, and it's the one with electronics. A fitted charcoal jumpsuit, or a black shirt and trousers, forms the base under an asymmetrical jacket with yellow piping, silver fasteners and white armour panels in flexible foam. Style the brown wig up at the crown with soft strands at the forehead. Clean foundation, warm contour and a fine metallic liner. A light-up wrist device, headset, badge and small control tablet are the props, with black gloves and solid lace-up boots. Run LED wires through sewn fabric channels and keep the battery pack in a belt pouch you can open easily. Loose wires snag on everything, and a buried battery is a nuisance to switch off.
27. Caleb Casual Jacket Cosplay
Casual Caleb is the childhood-friend look and one of the cheapest here. A black-and-white bomber or a brown pilot jacket goes over a fitted T-shirt, with dark jeans, a plain belt and clean high-tops. The short brown wig has relaxed volume and a soft side fringe. Keep the makeup warm and natural, with a few freckles if you like them. A red apple keychain or a small model aircraft is the accessory people recognise, and a messenger bag carries your things while looking right on him. Roll the sleeves a little and leave the collar loose. On its own this outfit can pass as street clothes, so it reads most clearly next to a friend in a more detailed Main Character costume.
28. Main Character And Xavier Hunter Duo Cosplay
The Hunter duo shares a uniform language rather than matching outfits. The Main Character wears the fitted white-and-black Hunter jacket with a skirt, tights, utility belt and knee boots. Xavier wears his white and grey Deepspace Hunter uniform with tailored trousers, gloves and black ankle boots. Long dark brown waves for one, the short silver-blond wig for the other. Both can wear cool silver eye makeup, with Xavier's kept lighter. Matching Hunter badges and blue light-up devices, plus a shared star-map tablet or a pair of glowing orbs, connect them. When I coordinate a pair like this, I buy the piping and the blue accent in one batch so the shades match exactly. Two different silvers look accidental in a full-length photo.
29. Main Character And Sylus Red Black Duo Cosplay
Pairing the Main Character with Sylus gives you the high-contrast duo in red and black. She wears a fitted black jumpsuit or a structured dress with burgundy panels, silver jewellery and heeled ankle boots. He wears a black shirt, tailored trousers, a red waistcoat and a long dark coat lined in burgundy. Long dark brown waves for her and the swept-back silver-white wig for him. Defined liner on both, with stronger red-brown shading on Sylus. Crow pins, matching silver rings and red crystal accessories tie them together, and a mechanical bird held between them gives photos a centre. Match the fabric finish too, since a satin coat next to a matte jumpsuit makes them look like they came from different scenes.
30. Love And Deepspace Group Cosplay
For a five-person group, give every love interest his signature look and let colour do the sorting. Xavier wears the white Hunter uniform with silver-blond hair and Zayne a sharp dark suit or doctor coat with black hair. Rafayel takes lavender artist clothes with purple hair, Sylus his black-and-red coat with silver-white hair, and Caleb a navy pilot jacket with brown hair. Agree beforehand on how strong the makeup will be so nobody looks overdone beside the others. Each person carries one prop: a star ornament, a snowflake notebook, a palette, a mechanical crow or a pilot headset. Polished boots or dress shoes all round. For photos, alternate light and dark costumes along the line so each silhouette stands apart instead of merging into the next.
Turning a Thrifted Jacket Into a Hunter Uniform
A lot of these costumes, from the Hunter uniforms to Caleb's colonel jacket, start as a fitted jacket that you then trim. This is the order I work in.
- Buy for fit across the shoulders. Sleeves and hems are simple to shorten; shoulders are not.
- Unpick any buttons, flaps or logos that fight the design, then press the jacket.
- Add piping with ready-made bias tape or flat trim, pinned and machine-stitched along the seams. Glue lets go as soon as the jacket flexes.
- Paint black or grey panels with fabric paint and a flat brush in two thin coats, then heat-set through a pressing cloth.
- Attach foam shoulder pieces or rank bars with sew-on snaps or hook-and-loop so they come off for travel and washing.
A polyester blazer is fine for this, but keep the iron cool and test everything on the inside facing first. Polyester shines or melts long before cotton would scorch.
Glowing Orbs and Badges That Survive a Long Day
Nearly every look here ends with a light-up prop, and those are what fail first. A clear plastic craft ball with a small battery tea light or coin-cell LED inside makes a sturdy orb; tape the halves shut with clear tape so it doesn't pop open when dropped, and put the switch where you can reach it without opening anything. Badges and ID cards last longer printed on card and slipped into a clear sleeve than laminated at home, which tends to peel at the corners. I keep spare batteries, a few safety pins and a small roll of clear tape in a pocket. Check an event's prop rules before you go, too. Venues are often wary of anything that resembles a weapon, which is one more reason the orbs, crystals and tablets in this list are sensible picks.
Get the Silhouette Right Before the Details
Every look here, from the easy casual outfits to the layered myth robes and group lineups, starts with the version whose silhouette you can actually get right, because that's what people recognise before they see any detail. Look at the full figure before you buy single pieces: clothing colour, hair, makeup, accessories, prop and shoes should all point at the same version of the character. Thrifted coats, fabric-painted trim and light EVA details keep the cost down. For a long convention day, breathable fabric, secure fastenings and shoes you've already walked in matter more than extra trim. Adjust the build to your body, your budget and the sewing you can really do. A clean interpretation you're comfortable in will always look better than a copy you can't wait to take off.
