Castlevania: Written In Blood (Series crossover. Villians & Heroes welcome)

[SweetSerenade]

Myself and Serenade will be sure to do so, so thank you Nim.  :D

As for the profile, Siegfried looks far better now, so I do believe you'd be good to go if we had a character roster and OOC up currently, which we don't as we're still waiting for a couple of people to get profiles up.  While we DO have a slight disagreement on the matter, Serenade would greatly aprpeciate having a Trevor Belmont, (based mostly on the anime but as with all canons, whoever takes up the mantle can make what alterations they deem fitting so long as the source material is easily recognizable), along with an Alucard.  Me, I'd be happy if we get enough people to make this whole affair worth it in the first place.  That aside, we DO need an even balance of male and females, as well as heroes and villains, so if you or anyone else are able to do two characters, one for each side, then you're more than free to do so.

And again thank you Nim, I'll try to remember to do that moving forward whenever the opportunity arises of course.  :D

xP We can't really do anything without a Belmont with the Vampire Killer. It's kind of a requirement... and Alucard would be fun to have because I have Sypha and I want Alucard for Sypha to be sassy at. But we do indeed need a balance of male and female. <3

[Nimander]

I wonder if we can get a count, at this point, so we can look into how many H vs V and females vs males that we have?

[SweetSerenade]

Storyline NPCS are equally balanced. Male and Female, Hero and Villain. Except Dracula who is just required for the story so shouldn't count either way towards character counts.

There is a finished female Hero PC profile, and male profile. Finished female villain PC profile in Camilla.  We also have been told of at least three, or four female Hero PC that people are working on.

[Vergil1989]

Whether or not they're actually completed is yet to be seen of course, but I have confidence at least most of our hopefuls won't disappoint us.  :D

You also forgot my Hector, post Curse of Darkness there Serenade.  :P

No... I didn't. The female Hero turned in is Sypha, the Male Hero is Hector. The Female Villain is Carmilla/Camilla. >.> There is several female characters in the plans according to others, somewhere closer to 4 or 5... SO yeah xD

[Vergil1989]

Oh....whoops, sorry Serenade.   :-[

[SweetSerenade]

Oh....whoops, sorry Serenade.   :-[

*ruffles hair* it's ok dork :3

[Vergil1989]

Heh, I'll give you a dork.  :P

Seriously though, we need more guys from the sound of it.

[SweetSerenade]

We do indeed, and villains to boot. xD

[Florence]

We do indeed, and villains to boot. xD

Well, I can help on that front, at any rate!

Edit: I mean, technically, the character idea I had would be a shapeshifter, so I mean... But she like... identifies as a woman, and primarily takes the shape of a woman.

[SweetSerenade]

I'm kind of someone in the camp that whatever someone primarily identifies as is their defined sex/gender for the ratio balances. We currently have a large interest in female characters, but a very limited interest in males. We also need villains for the story, but need a couple of other characters just to really have a good 'team' going. It's not Castlevania in a massive crossover without some more canons, and I'd like to see some more simply for the fact that I feel they add more depth to the story. :3

But it's ok if you can't do a canon, but if we could technically get people to make one male and female character - and one hero or villain character, we can come close to maintaining balance. But until we equalize on males.... xD Not much we can do.

[Vergil1989]

While I agree wholeheartedly with Serenade that we need more men, hopefully at least a Trevor Belmont, my own request, if I were to make one, would be Zobek, the Lords of Shadow version of Death himself, essentially.  Specifically, his second, far more modern iteration, because between his apparent riches and his unquestionable power, he'd be a very nice addition to either side.  Having said that, I'd prefer he were helping the heroes myself, but again that's just me.  ;D

We've included some rules to consider, as well as a few kinks that WON'T be allowed at all.  Please read through them when you guys get the chance.  Thanks!

EDIT:  Added a note about posting length in the rules.  Please take a note of it.  :D

[Yurie]

Well, that's irritating. I, too, had a female character concept in mind...

[Vergil1989]

You could always make a a secondary character for the other side that's female, so long as one's a guy.  Assuming of course you're willing to play two people, but if not, then hopefully someone else will take up the slack a bit on the men we kinda need to keep things relatively balanced.  We want a good group of people, but we want this to last as well, so having too many of one thing typically doesn't seem to end well for groups.

[Gardsorm]

Don't suppose it's too late to mention I may have been considering a PC male villain, is it...?

[SweetSerenade]

Don't suppose it's too late to mention I may have been considering a PC male villain, is it...?

It's not too late at all, we haven't even started yet. Have only had me and Vergil, and Nimander turn in profiles, and two players submitted in PM and are just making edits before posting.

The current submissions are

1 Female Canon Hero - Sypha - Posted - Sweet
1 Male Canon Hero - Hector - Posted - Vergil
1 Female Canon Villain - Camilla - Posted - Vergil
1 Male OC Villain - Siegfried - Posted - Nimander
1 Female OC Hero - Victoria Belmont - Not posted
1 Female OC Villain - Odette - Not Posted

3 Villain - 3 Hero
3 Canon - 3 OC
4 Female - 2 Male

We also have 3-4 other people who posted interest in female Heroes who need to turn in profiles for getting added to roster, though we will have to do some picking and choosing. We won't count someone towards the overall count till they are posted, but even if we don't count the 'interested' parties... we are still imbalanced on the male/female ratio, even if we have managed to balance out our Hero/Villain.

[Vergil1989]

Yep, so by all means we're welcome to have you Gards, and if you need a hand with anything, just ask.  We'll do what we can to lend a hand.  :D

[Florence]

Sorry I haven't gotten my sheets done yet! Had a busy few days but I'm getting back to work on them now.

[Vergil1989]

Bah don't worry about it Florence, truly.  :D  We haven't gotten started yet, but once you at least get your people together we'll start getting the OOC and roster threads going, and hope more people will be drawn in once they see we're serious about this.  :D  Still, hope you're doing alright otherwise, and the same goes for everyone else that's been working on stuff.  See ya!

While the main IC threads, (mostly the main bases for both Castlevania and the Belmont estate barring the mission oriented threads), aren't up yet, the OOC, Character Roster, and the Side Scene threads are ready to go for anyone that's been approved.  While the Side Scene thread is more currently planned to be used to detail how Amaranth and Puck, (for the heroes), or the Twins and Dracula, (for the villains), have met with your respective characters and when/where, it'll eventually be used to give people a chance to have private scenes or the like outside of the main story so that the main story isn't bogged down with a bunch of sex and the like.  :P  Anyway, you're still more than fine to take your time on profiles, but we ARE putting things together, so I wouldn't wait TOO too long guys and gals.  See ya!

[Florence]

Ah yeah, sorry. I'll be upfront, ADHD can get the better of me sometimes, lol. Plus I was distracted with a few things. I'll work on ACTUALLY finishing my sheets within the next day or two.

[Vergil1989]

Lol again you're fine.  :P

[Kathyan]

Still interested yes, just hadn't had time to made a sheet, which is what takes me longer. :P

Also as SweetSerenade pointed out, I either forgot or never noticed Charlotte was 16, I can make her older yes no problema bout it and could say that while trapped she still aged albeit at a slower rate but now what concerns me is if it would be ok using pictures of her.

Or you can look for art that is related to her being 18 or older, have her grown up for two years(at least) after the events of her story, and just have her get locked up while an adult. xD

[Kathyan]

Also given the mention of lack of male characters I was also considering on playing Jonathan as well, aged at 20 to match Charlotte's 18.

[Vergil1989]

That'd be fine by me Kath, but I'm with Sweet regarding your female Charlotte.  She NEEDS to be aged up if at all possible, with a picture to match.  Beyond that, do as you like for the most part.  :D
