Tier List: The Best Goths In Video Games

Choose a Girl

As long as you approach her with respect and use the right openers, you can get her to notice you. We’ll help boost your luck in the game of attraction by demystifying gothic subculture and the ways to signal your interest to a goth girl. Follow these steps and you may walk away with a mysterious beauty on your arm.

WOMEN

For my money, there’s no fighting game character more iconic than Darkstalkers’ Morrigan. The colors are slightly toned down, making this finish a perfect fit for all atmospheric illustrations and paintings. Am I about to make Lisa Frankenstein my entire personality and aesthetic? With their gently reflective surface, glossy Displates offer enhanced contrast, highlighting vibrant hues, deep blacks, and intricate details.

Tier List: The Best Goths In Video Games

The supernatural horror follows two teenage sisters whose bond is put to the test once Ginger is attacked by a stray animal and starts to morph into a werewolf. It’s continually reexamined for its feminist themes – Ginger’s werewolf also coincides with her first period, so there’s a lot to unpack there. Although I’ve yet to play Apex Legends, Seer has managed to transcend the game itself, cross my gaming fault lines, and skyrocket himself into S Tier on this list.

Romantic Goth

Soon enough, however, her gothness proved too much for Principal Figinns as he banned her from wearing goth clothing (due to his fear of vampires). So slowly, we see fewer studs, plaid trousers, black beanies, fishnet everything and the only noteworthy goth at McKinley High School became a musical theatre kid. Whether she’s rocking the beehive, pixie cut, or braids, she shows up ready to kill some demons and look fitted out while doing so. Her reach is so irresistible that even Mama Monster herself, Lady Gaga, is a fan of the Umbran witch’s work, and took some inspiration from her in the “Rain on Me” music video. As far as his fashion goes, his signature mic is covered in spikes, which seems awfully dangerous, but maybe that’s why there’s a skull on it too. It looks more like tentacles, or like he sheared an Obstagoon and just placed the fur on his head.

Dude even has “Settle with Elegance” and “British Elegance” written on his clothes to tell people who aren’t in the know what’s up. Just with her looks, with her black-and-white-and-red color scheme and painted face and black hair, it’s obvious Borderlands bar owner Mad Moxxi would make the list. Her promiscuous nature and love of violence oozes a goth sensibility even if her outward appearance can come into conflict with the stereotypical goth aesthetic.

• Blue, played by Rose McGowan, is dressed in a punk-rock wardrobe to reflect her abrasive coming of age, donning Dr Martens, retro sundresses, and oversized leather jackets.
• In his sprier, woohoo pizza days of Devil May Cry 3, Dante was the standard-bearer for gothic fashion in video games..
• That is, except for the whole bit about the serial killer prowling a university campus and slaying students according to famous urban legends.

Danielle Harris plays Tosh the goth, a late 90’s representative of the gothic subculture on a bit more of a Victorian trip. With her dark lipstick and alluring black corset, what freshman wouldn’t want to have a dorm room on her floor? That is, except for the whole bit about the serial killer prowling a university campus and slaying students according to famous urban legends. She missed a big warning sign in the movie, and being the main character’s roommate and all, poor, poor Goth-Tosh was pretty doomed from the start. Maybe she slays you with the way she rocks platform boots, or she might make you blush with her cool elegance. Whether you’re part of the goth subculture or not, you’ve got a chance.

• The shape-shifting power of clothing is one of the most fundamental pleasures in getting dressed each morning, and is perhaps the simplest way of experimenting with newfound allegiances.
• Whether she’s rocking the beehive, pixie cut, or braids, she shows up ready to kill some demons and look fitted out while doing so.
• And she embraced the archetype – a stinking attitude, deadpan humour, never without a cigarette between her teeth – to such an extent that her studded collar sold for $225 on icollector.com back in 2015.
• The supernatural horror follows two teenage sisters whose bond is put to the test once Ginger is attacked by a stray animal and starts to morph into a werewolf.

His wiki describes him as “an icon of the shunned, the unaccepted, and the unabashedly original” and I have no choice but to stan. His fit is serving effortlessly with his crop top and futuristically tactful cowboy aesthetic. He might have been born under a bad omen, but the only omen his fit is serving is envy to those taken out by him in the Apex arena.

It brought unbeknownst pleasure to me knowing that there is a website called hollyoaks.fandom.com, but not as much as it did revisiting the role of Newt in Britain’s beloved soap opera. First arriving into the town at the age of 14 as the foster child of Jack and Frankie Osborne, Newt’s swept-over fringe and heavy-handed use of eyeliner served as a symbol of his outsiderdom. He’s had a rough time of it – dyslexic, framed for burglary, called in for police questioning for having sex as a minor – and the showrunners clearly thought this was best communicated with a lip piercing.

Often, we realise who we are and what we’re about by assuming the identities of other people. The shape-shifting power of clothing is one of the most fundamental pleasures in getting dressed each morning, and is perhaps the simplest way of experimenting with newfound allegiances. What might start out as a performance of subculture eventually brings us closer in line to our real selves. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and suffice to say I’m nearsighted when it comes to all the game’s I’ve played and all the gothic characters that exist within them. If you disagree with my picks or have some suggestions of your own, I’d ask that you bury me gently in the quote retweets and let me know which characters you would add and how you would rank my list. With Halloween right around the corner, it’s the perfect time for us to immerse ourselves in the signature styles of video gaming’s greatest and most fashionable goths, as well as those whose fashion sense makes them goth-adjacent.

Late-Victorian goth style is more similar to the costuming featured in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Even though he’s wearing his guild’s uniform, Venom manages to bring his own style to it by rocking an open vest, showing people that he doesn’t slack on abdominal crunches or in his wardrobe. Not many fighting game characters are skilled enough to coordinate their outfits and tie their look into a billiards gimmick, but Venom pulls off a masse fashion fit.
