Castlevania RPG/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Character Sheet for Castlevania RPG.


Xavier Darkmoon a.k.a. "Herschel"

Arguably the "hero" of CVRPG. A vampire whose soul was restored by a gypsy, he used to work for Dracula, but now spends time "heroing", "questing", and trolling for barmaids.

Tropes associated with Darkmoon:


Katrina D'Sorciere

A wild-type mage trapped in the form of a catgirl due to a curse. Both book- and street-smart, she often serves as the team's voice of reason.

Tropes associated with Katrina:

Melinda: Whoever trained you in magic must be so disappointed. Losing in a sorcery duel. I wonder what sort of advice he'd have for you know...
Katrina: ... [Walks forward and hits Melinda] He'd probably tell me to cheat.

  • Wild Magic
  • Honor Before Reason: Is convinced that she has to amass enough good karma for her curse to be removed, despite Shaft having expected her to have it removed by a clergyman. She even forces him to reapply after he simply removes it during her tirade, feeling "cheated".
  • Catgirl: Duh.
  • Unskilled but Strong: Compared to Alec, Katrina has exponentially more magical power and reserves, but has issues controlling it. As reference, her Turn Undead spell targeted everything when she first used it in the comic, which wound up sending Darkmoon to Hell.
  • Please Put Some Clothes On: Shift said that when accidentally destroies her clothes when he put the curse back on her on this page. [dead link], which results in a Hand or Object Underwear

Alec Prelude

A somewhat-disenchanted Holy Warrior that made friends with Darkmoon shortly after getting kicked out of "graduating" from the Holy Warrior Academy. Initially naive and idealist, his time among Darkmoon's company has given him a...safer view on life. Is currently in a relationship with Princess.

Tropes associated with Alec:

Princess Isabella

A somewhat ditzy princess who was being "held captive" by a dragon. Rescuing her from said dragon was the "heroes'" first quest in CVRPG. She later joins the party as their resident thief/martial artist/requisite royalty. Is of the Theif class and has the skills (Such as lock picking) to go with it, despite fighting more like a monk.

Tropes associated with "Princess":

Angel

An archangel sent by God Mike to aid the "heroes" in their quest. Unfortunately, he's barely any better than them, so that doesn't really help his cause.

Tropes associated with Angel:

Golem

A golem built by a clan of dwarves to function as a sentry, guard their mined goods, and clean up after them. However, the dwarves soon massacred themselves in a bloody orgy of drunken violence, and Golem was left to his own for a year, after which he meets Darkmoon and company. Convinced by Darkmoon to go out and live for himself, Golem finds himself unable to enjoy the finer things in life (consisting of booze, women, and not getting rocks and bricks thrown at him); after giving himself a new, more humanoid form, Golem returns to officially join the main party.

Tropes associated with Golem:

  • Mighty Glacier: He's the medieval fantasy equivalent of an assault robot, so he qualifies.
  • Morph Weapon: His "magic" allows him to temporarily alter the composition of his body's shell to another material (such as iron or steel), and can further this by assimilating weapons and altering his body parts to function like that weapon.
  • The Straight Man: Even more so than Shaft or Katrina; the problem is, no one listens to him.

Bunny, Darkie, and Pig

Darkmoon, Katrina, and Alec's respective familiars/animal companions. Bunny is a Killer Rabbit, Darkie is a bird forever stuck as a bat due to a polymorph spell-gone-wrong, and Pig is-well, a pig. A pig that can swim, carry a grown man in full combat gear without complaining, and bite the ankles of ghouls.

They are often the most effectual characters in the comic. Oh yeah, and they defeat Dracula.

Tropes associated with Bunny, Darkie, and Pig:

Link

The world-renowned hero hailing from the land of Hyrule, Link initially shows up as a cameo character alongside Lucca, Samus, and Nathan, with whom he formed a "party" with for a short while. On his way to defeat Dracula, he gets caught up in fighting Moldorm (a.k.a. "Giant Swirly Boss") after the worm repeatedly knocks him off the stage into the floor below, and Link eventually expires. Shows up later in Hell after Darkmoon is inadvertently turned by Katrina, and soon gets pulled back to his now-skeletal body when Katrina brings back Darkmoon. Link defeated Sindra and earned his freedom, but Hell can't seem to get enough of him, and Link is often pulled back into the fiery abyss to play part in some scheme by Damaris. Hell has seemed to calm down somewhat as of recently, so Link has passed the role of Hero of Time to Bucky, and now owns an armor in Jova Veros whatever.

Tropes associated with Link:

  • Master Swordsman (Pun intended)
  • Quick Draw: Pulls a variant of this with a bow.
  • You Fail Biology Forever: His ability to use his bow while in skeletal form is explained as "nocking the string between [his] joints" and "having really good bone density" (in place of having muscles and tendons).
  • Hyperspace Arsenal: It's Link; of course he'd have a lot of stuff. Lampshaded when Alec finds his Bag of Holding post-Moldorm.
  • Running Gag: Not knowing Link's name, Satan (as well as all of Hell save Sindra) refers to him by the color of his clothes--first green, then blue. Problem is, right when the devil sends his enforcers to find Link, he's changed to a different color of clothes--from green to blue, then blue to red. As such, they never figure him out unless someone else uses his name.

Bucky

A skeletal, undead chicken that Link meets while in Nivelheim, who becomes his close companion and business partner. Bucky aids Link in collecting the Hell's Arms, and later aids Darkmoon in altering the fate of Alt-Alec to prevent the Wham! Episode's events from actually occurring. Bucky receives the Master Sword and Link's Hylian Shield when the latter acquires the Hell Sword and Shield (actually, Link had to convince Bucky to trade him for it, as Bucky wanted the Hell Sword for himself), and takes up Link's mantle as the Hero of Time.

Bucky's (supposed) Hylian accent, near-imperviability to all forms of damage, and his ability to summon his comrades to constantly swoop at his enemy from all sides suggests that he is the undead form of a Cucco, however the hell that works.

Tropes associated with Bucky:

Dracula

What would Castlevania be without Dracula? Curse of Darkness, that's what. As before always, Dracula is an extremely powerful vampire who ushers in darkness, feasts on the blood of virgins, and gets his ass kicked and revives along with his castle once every hundred or so years from 1100-something to 1999. However, this Dracula is notably more enterprising, fashion-conscious, and gay than in other depictions, and isn't above taking a fall to get some time off from the Belmonts. Dracula turned Darkmoon personally, and as such treats him like a second son (because the first one was too goody-goody).

Dracula was defeated by Bunny, Darkie, and Pig, and briefly resurrected as a cat until Raye went for a power-play.

Tropes associated with Dracula:


Shaft

Death

Frankie & Mummy

A homage to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Sindra

Raye

Nathan and Samus

  • Heroic Mime: Averted and lampshaded by Samus. After an unfunny comment from her, she remarks this is why she normally doesn't talk.
