#playable Soleil would be so cool

[chibishortdeath]

This Bloodlines timeline document has some names of characters that are never actually ever seen in a game, so I decided to give some designs and ideas to them :3. I know that it’s mostly defunct material (even for Bloodlines itself considering it still has Bolt Ericsson, who was scrapped from the final release on it), but I’m just gonna take bits of it that I like anyway lol.

So this is my take on Cyncia, Christopher’s wife. Maybe when Christopher is off fighting Dracula, she’s at home beating the hell out of bats and skeletons trying to get into the house hmmm. Or idk maybe she should get to come with the second time hmmmm >:). Anyway, the embroidery details on her clothes are all scribbley cause I couldn’t decide on patterns, but just imagine that it’s actually nice embroidery oof (TwT ). The first image is kinda like a talking sprite pose now that I’m looking at it. Sadly there’s not too much to say about her because she uh kinda only exists in development limbo so uh yeah :’(.

There’s also the other two kids! It’s such a cool concept of a Belmont having siblings, I wish they address that concept more often :O. In my interpretation I have Gerhart as the oldest, Soleil in the middle, and Amanda as the youngest. The text says that Gerhart “strangely died” so I was thinking about the concept that he died at 15 not long after the Vampire Killer was passed down to him, making Soleil the next in line. I think that’d add a lot to how Soleil was possessed, he would be feeling awful about taking his brother’s place and possessions in other games tend to have the character have some kind of emotional weakness that was an opening for something to get to them, if that makes sense. But yeah, again, sadly not too much to say about the two themselves since they don’t appear anywhere.

If ever we get some really nice Christoper games remake (1. I am aware Rebirth exists 2. Konami will never cause they’re cowards), I really really wanna see these three end up in it. Cause as of now it’s just sad seeing them be names in an unused developer document when they have really good potential. It’d be cool to see that part of the series get fleshed out more in general because, as much as I LOVE the Christopher games, they are barely written ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡. Which is a shame because Christopher seemed to be planned to be something a lot bigger than that, ya know? There was a weird time he and Trevor were almost the same person in development, but the name Christopher is used as the name of the ancestor Simon looked up to and I feel like he and his story should’ve been way more important, ya know??? Like it does get used as foreshadowing for Richter and Maxim and other characters that get possessed later but mannnnnnnn. Justice for Christopher, and also justice for Cyncia too.

Asdfghjkll maybe make her playable in a Belmont’s Revenge remake that’d be so cool I wanna have my Murder Dad and Murder Mom tag team. Also that fits the themes of “he went at it alone and things went wrong but it went right the second time cause he wasn’t alone” and aaaaaaaaaaa do you see my vision

#castlevania #castlevania games #akumajou dracula #incoherent rambling #my art #art post #Christopher Belmont #Castlevania Christopher #(mentioned) #Cyncia Belmont #Gerhart Belmont #lol his name is funny I like it #Soleil Belmont #Castlevania soleil #Amanda Belmont #castlevania bloodlines #also just mentioned I guess #it’s a dev document that was only like partially used lmao #anyway I’m on my way to start getting attached to a character that doesn’t exist— #I think Cyncia and Christopher are both very >:| all the time but that’s just their resting expressions they can’t help it #cynica says things like ‘you’re tolerable’ and that’s her way of saying ‘I actually like your company and you as a person’ #but like I’ve thought about playable Soleil before and I absolutely would love that #but he gives me more like idk a new noncanon mode that you get after you beat the game vibes ya know #like Maxim mode or Joachim mode or something #but like now I’m thinking about being able to play as cool woman with blunt force improvised weapons like shovels and stuff and like #that sounds so fun asdfghjkl I wanna hit bats out of the sky with a shovel #Konami please I wanna play as Mrs. Mom Belmont #it also would be cool if they like confirmed that Soleil is Simon’s grandfather #and maybe that Amanda ends up starting the Morris line way in the future or something idk #also the concept of a Belmont losing a kid is also incredibly sad why didn’t they do something with that like

Rant (sorry if it’s big)

Okay, Intelligent System did it again. They pull another Ayra. But you might say me:

“But the announced it this time!” “She’s not sharing a color with any old units!”

Well, that’s very observant to you, but that doesn’t not fix the problem. A person admitting they did a bad thing doesn’t make it any better. The injury will be less, but they still did a scummy thing.

Some people still don’t see the problem... but have you ever put in the shoes of the F2P people who wanted Rhajat? And they wanted to pull in this banner? They could be summoning in the banner with the other children, and let’s say, instead of pulling Rhajat they had the surprise to pull Soleil. It’s better than pulling a Faye. And guess what? She would have not share a color with the new units either.

And how about P2W players?  Have you realize that you have to spend MORE money just to get all the new characters? Please do NOT spend any money on this! It will only make Intelligent System do more of this practices.

Why am I telling you this? Well, at one point, I thought in spending money on this game, but then I saw how much they were gaining and the practices they were making lately that the made me go away. This game seriously became more and more a P2W than a F2P game. I have known people who have quit this game because of how unfair it has been lately to F2P users.

“But if you don’t like it don’t pull! Stop complaining!”

Okay? How the hell should I stop complaining when I see a pure cash grab of I game I was starting to enjoy again? Do you want to have this again? I want to stop IS to do all this bullcrap since it happened in ANOTHER GAME!

What do you mean by this? Well I will tell you a story about a game I REALLY wanted to buy but then not because of the scummy DLC: Fire Emblem Warriors.

I was excited, but then the cast was revealed...I was extremely sad. I had the same problem like everyone else. But then said: Hey! Maybe the will fix it with DLC! They did that with Hyrule Warriors.

Then the DLC was announced. And they were from the same games....Okay now I’m even more turned off. Then they announced that Ike and Roy would be put in the sequel, before the game even came out. More mad.

But then we saw Owain was in the game. That’s my boyfriend favorite character of Fire Emblem. We waited and investigate when he will appeared, but he was a NPC. Okay? Maybe in a patch he will be playable? It happened in Hyrule Warriors. Buuuttttt they screwed up. The DLC characters were announced. AND 4 OF THE 9 CHARACTERS AND ALREADY IN THE GAME BUT BEHIND A PAYWALL!! That is what crossed the line. I gave this game a pass and moved on.

The other situation that really struck a nerve with me was Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. I didn’t like too much Sun and Moon because it was a miss opportunity and an incomplete game. Finish the barely post game in Moon and stop caring. I have a Sun copy which is saved before the first trial, but I can’t play it, I get so bored so quickly and moved on to other games.

Then the other games were announced. I thought this could be a sequel. Then they announced it was an alternate storyline. I got MAD AGAIN! Did they actually pulled a Platinum situation? But you know what? I’m mad because NOW they have no excuse since DLC is now a thing. Even the reviews say this could have been easily and upgrade or a DLC, since it has 90% of its content unchanged. This will be actually the first game I will skip in the series. People who actually like the game has admitted that the can’t call it a new game because it isn’t. It’s an upgrade.

You know why I have been giving a Nintendo a bad time? Because those are seriously scummy tactics. But you might be wondering:

“But every company is doing this nowadays!”

THIS IS where I say: NO! Just because everyone is doing it, it doesn’t mean you should do it too. It like the kids who want to be popular do stupid things because the “cool kids” are doing it.

And you know what? Not everyone is doing it. You know which company did a VERY BIG update in one of their games and was for free?

KONAMI.

Yes, THE Konami did an excelent update to one of their games: Bomberman R. That game came with new modes, new storyline, new characters to unlock and new accesories. AND ALL FOR FREE! This could have easily been a DLC but decided not to do it. This is an excellent tactic to attract more costumers since you get to experience more gameplay, more characters, etc, without needing to pay extra. You don’t need everything behind a paywall to enjoy the game.

Just hear me out guys. Don’t follow every step nintendo do since it might become the next Capcom/Activision/EA in the market if this trends continue. And that is the least thing I want.
