Topic: An Incubus in future Castlevania games?

[Pentagram-cracker]

I wonder if she calls her "mother" simply for the sake of her being the head honcho, and Laura having a warped mind.

lol maybe, and it's possible that in edition to being a lesbian Carmilla is also a pedophile who likes little girls.

Lesbian Vampire Pedophilia (Castlevania Judgment, Carmilla vs. Maria)

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

I wouldn't mind an Incubus.
However, as people have pointed out above, the problem isn't that there'd be a male demon that preys on women.  The problem is that he will be heavily stylized to the point of which anyone male playing the game will think he's just a gay demon, since the stylization will make him, inevitably, look and dress incredibly gay/metro.  And yes that may be attractive to some women, but since it's mostly men playing the game, it will just trigger a gag reflex.

I think its a bad idea. It would come off as gay honestly, and some of the heroes are already kinda metrosexual looking so I think it would only make things worse >_>

I would like both Incubus and Succubus to be in CV games. Make some new cool sprites for both..

[DragonSlayr81]

Pairing Incubs with Succubs would've been a great boss fight for Portrait of Ruin. If they ever do a "character swapping" game in the future(would be cool to see in a new 3D game), you could fight the two together, and depending on who you have(just like the mentioning of Astarte), a male character or female, the two will act differently. If you are fighting with the male character, the Succubus will try to seduce you, but the Incubus will go batshit crazy. If you have a female character, the Incubus will try to seduce you, and the Succubus will be brutal. Such a battle would be interesting if you had the tactics of switching back and forth. It would be like Astarte, time two.

That would be a brutal fight. You'd have to switch back and fourth just to avoid either the inccubi or the succubi from trying to seduce you. Having and incubus in a CV game is not a bad idea. It'll just turn out bad if we let people like IGA do it since he sees popularity in the emo/androgynous/homo-type male characters *cough* Mathias/Issac/chronicles simon/juste/Hecter *cough*. maybe the best course of action would be to have a hardcore gamer/historian do a CV game with an incubus in it. That way it won't be messed up and mess with our heads.

[whitedragon_nall]

u mean Astarte? Or a random enemy Succubus?

excuse me been a while since I played that game.

I believe it was just the normal enemy succubus. I forget what she would say, but she was always all sexy sounding when you were Jon. Switch to Charlotte and she would attack immediately, calling you a "filthy cow".

[Harrycombs]

Actually I don't ger the homophobia. If there's a gay character, ok do it, however, I didn't like they TURNED Alucard into a pussy (He was a fierce warrior in CvIII).

How did they turn Alucard into a pussy? The guy never even really says much and just goes around and kills stuff... A better way to describe him would probably be stoic. I don't see what you think is so effeminate about him, or how they made him anything but a fierce warrior. Also, Alucard didn't even say anything in CV3, how can you get any idea about his original personality? And if you think Alucard looked better in CV3 than in Symphony then... what? Alucard looked horrible originally. Really, which do you prefer?

CV3:


or

SotN:



Kojima did an awesome job on Alucard. My only problem with her is that just about all of her characters are effeminate, and its getting repetitive.


An Incubus character would be interesting. I just wonder if they would make them unique. I fear Konami would probably just make them act exactly like a succubus but have a different sprite.

[crisis]

What you guys call "effeminate," I prefer "elegant" & "refined." Is it because Alucard has heels on? A lot of men wore heels like that throughout history.

Or maybe it's because he has blonde highlights? His mother had blonde hair, so.

It's gotta be his super-smooth face then, right? Pretty typical in vampire lore.

I guess it's because Alucard didn't pursue Maria in the ending. But maybe he did get laid, they were living together for a short time in the Nocturne of Recollection Drama CDs (i think)
 

Ayami's reimagining of Alucard shits all over the original depiction, btw.

[Kale]

While I agree, that most of it is really more elegant and refined... the face structure and body build never looks manly. They are always thin and womanly (face wise). Like a guy with no adam's apple or whatnot.

I love the Alucard and Richter sotn version though. I just wished Richter had more muscle, or if he already does, have it showing through his sleeves.

[thernz]

Muscle never really shows through sleeves does it? I mean, unless it's tight.

[Kale]

Dude, muscles like the ones that Richter and Simon and Trevor had, would definitely show.

[Pentagram-cracker]

I personally think Ayami Kojima's art fits the series perfectly. I mean being metrosexual and gothic is what vampires are all about. And her characters aren't the "emo" kind of goth, they're more like the style of classical goth from the artists and poets like Edgar Allan Poe. I agree that incubus from Nocturne of Recollection is kind of emo rockstar looking, but I think a real incubus could be done in the game with the same deviousness and style as the other male enemies.

As for the subject of homosexuality, I agree it would be interesting if done tastefully and not like yaoi fanservice where we find out Richter and Alucard are secret lovers who out of nowhere decide to get it on with hot vampire/human sex.

It's like Carmilla's implied lesbianism. It is done rather tastefully because we know there's something going on between her and her servant Laura just like in the novel the two characters are based on and it's not dramatic or overly-done in the plot.

[Hanniballistic]

What's up with all the "Bleh! Gay stuff, icky!" vibe from everyone?  I see no problem with an Incubus in the games, personally.  Just because I'm not gay doesn't mean I'm going to get all defensive if I saw what is basically a demon seducing my character.  Who cares?  It's a game, the incubus is not going to jump out of the screen and molest you.

[Kale]

What if he does!? *GASP!*



Here we go... this is perfect.
