Instructions:
It's easy. Wear the shirt, shoes and pants. Wrap lengths of brown cloth around your legs and arms, a little past the knees and elbows. Wrap more around your pelvis. Wrap even more around your torso, loose and thick, leaving your stomach clear.
Sew shards of brown cloth onto the wrapped brown cloth, for a look of raggedness. Sew the nylon cloth onto the brown cloth on your back, in two pieces, as wings. Make sure to cut them up so they're nice and ragged.
Dye your hair black and make it nice and messy.
Now the hard parts. Tie your four fingers into two with the tape. Make sure you can exert force with them and they won't come appart. Don't cut the blood flow. Tape the Elmer's glue caps onto the tips of these two fingers, as well as your thumbs. It'll take six, obviously. Now, wear the white gloves. Wrap more brown cloth around your hands, so only your fingers show.
Now your head. Raziel has no lower jaw. If you use a mask, cut out the lower jaw and hairline so your hair comes through. Put glow paint around the eyes. We're looking for vampire-like teeth here. If you don't have a good mask, use grey makeup to make yourself look dead and half rotted. Make sure all your flesh is grey! Use black on your jaw so it's hard to see. Put glow paint around your eyes (not in them!). Make sure to use some Latex to make your ears pointed at the top. With either one, you can use brown cloth to make a mask over your upper lip and down, like old bank-robbers used to use. That's it!
Other information to consider:
Don't do all that in the order I said to.. I think it would be very difficult.
