It is December 18th and therefore time to speculate on Lunar Halloween costumes.
Ghaleon: I have a hard time visualizing him going to a party. Taking one of his many little tag-alongs trick-or-treating, maybe. For a costume, I'm thinking an elegant yet austere classical monster - like a male version of a yukionna (I really like the idea of a white kimono accented with black on him) or a nopperabou. Heck, he could go as Slenderman. I imagine that magic could make for some pretty convincing effects for a Slenderman costume. That seems too involved, though, for what Ghaleon would want to do, and Slenderman might be a bit tritely memeish for him.
He could be a vampire - the eyes; the fangs; the pallor; later on, he even gets the three "wives." But I think that's a bit hokey for him. (That's a picture, though, isn't it - Dain Harker obliviously being ferried to Ghaleon's keep to sell him some real estate, all the while asking coachmaster Taben if they're there yet.)
Rouj: Now he I can see dressing up as a vampire for the kids.
Tagak: Not dressing up on your life.
Dain: There was a hilarious short skit written by JWL/The Hatless Dezorian a long time ago up on the Shrine to Ghaleon that recast the Four Heroes as the leads in The Wizard of Oz (Ghaleon stuck in his Magic Emperor armor rusted after being left out in the rain, etc.). Dain was the Scarecrow, and I don't think that can be beat as a costume for him. I won't argue with genius.
Niea: She'd make an adorable Little Red Riding Hood. Plus, the color scheme then matches her mother's, which would suit Dr. Evil just fine.
Remilia: I can see two ways here. She might decide to go as one of the heroes of those childhood stories she so loved - one of those twin female Dragonmasters, perhaps? Most likely, though, she'd be up to her hips in Vheen office party planning, which would afford her little time to put together a relatively esoteric costume. More likely, she'd go as a stock character like a witch - tastefully executed (and thematically appropriate), but still easily sourced.
Latona: Latona's statuesque frame and bearing, not to mention her very name, are ideal for a goddess. Nothing so idly decorative as a typical Greek goddess, though - perhaps more an Aztec goddess, fierce and capable of great wrath.
((N)ETA: Hmmm; my ignorance of the Aztecs is showing, as all the goddesses I'm finding are caring mother figures. My mental image is shaped more by the practices of the Aztecs themselves rather than their deities. Perhaps Durga is a better choice?)
Guildmistress: Miss Gulch jokes aside, the Guildmistress's presence is perhaps less assuring (and definitely smugger) than Funato intended. Her personal style is lavish, ostentatious, attention-getting. I think she'd make a good evil queen from Snow White, dripping make-up and stage malice.
Morris: Morris is a tough nut to crack. He's another good mazoku vampire candidate - something that's hokey enough for his students but playfully sexual. But we're going to that well too often, so let's move on.
Morris has the most direct character analogue in Funato's Victorian drama Under the Rose (which transposes several designs & characters from the Hikuusen cast), and the plaid suits of a Victorian gentleman look good on Not Morris. Anachronisms aside, though, that costume would seem to be a little staid for our Premier. Hmm. I'm stumped. But:
That one junior guild member who always hangs out with Remilia: would make a great Rapunzel, though.
