Name: Roxanne Belmont.
Cup Size: G

She would pretty much replace Richter in the RoB/SoTN/NoR timeline.

ThePlotTwist: 1st- Place (Tie)
Ariane Beaumont - SOTN styled


Her backstory (Beware, WALL OF TEXT aread):

(click to show/hide)

In 1479, the Devil Forgemaster called Hector had fallen under the control of Dracula's Curse. Thanks to the machinations of Death, Hector became Dracula and restarted his reign of terror. Having to face Isaac, Death, and a fully powered Dracula alone, Trevor was killed, and the main Belmont bloodline ended once and for all. However Alucard managed to recover his locked powers, woke up, and using Trevor Belmont's magical Stop Watch recovered from his dead body, defeated his father once more, who had been weakened by Trevor before he died.

Realizing that sleeping again was not an option, Alucard went on to start an organization of Vampire Hunters trained to fight the forces of darkness in order to replace Trevor's main lineage. For the Belmonts, though, all was not yet lost, as they had many braching families. One such family was the French branch carrying a similar name, the Beaumonts, who were believed to be the precursors of the Belmonts as opposed to the common belief that they were simply a branching family. Alucard tracked them down, and began enlisting their services as vampire hunters.

Through the centuries, the organization managed to stop every iminent ressurrection of Count Dracula just barely, by tracking down Dracula's followers before they could finish their plans. However, in 1792, the dark priest Shaft managed to summon Dracula and his Castle by using an unknown method to disappear just before the organization could find his hideout and foil his plans. Not even the organization's strongest vampire hunter, Ariane Beaumont, was able to get to Shaft before he could escape.

Alucard then resorted to the last weapon from the Belmonts to still exist once more, the magical Stop Watch, which still held very little power, preserved to this occasion. He sought to use it for defeating the dark priest and his father. However, it was stolen. Alucard managed to trace the stealing of the Stop Watch to one of the organization's leading scientists called Saint Germain, who was also a close friend to Ariane Beaumont, and believed that Shaft had controlled his mind to do it and use the watch to stop time before the organization could get their hands on Shaft, giving them enough time to escape.

Teaming up with Ariane Beaumont, who had known Germain for years, Alucard and Ariane invaded the castle and divided in order to find Saint Germain and recover the stolen relic. Knowing his mind and fascination with clocks, Ariane eventually found him first at the top of the Clock Tower, and discovered that Saint Germain was not under Shaft's control: Rather, Saint Germain stole the Stop Watch out of his own will.

Saint Germain surmised that Dracula's return was only a matter of time, and he'd consume all mankind sooner or later since only a pure-blooded Belmont would be able to stop a fully ressurrected Dracula. The Stop Watch would be useless in this case, since it held too little power to be able to stop Dracula's dark magic. He theorized, however, that the Clock Tower in Dracula's Castle would be able to amplify the Stop Watch's power due to Dracula's Castle incredible magic. This could ensure that the organization could stop Dracula and his army on their tracks, but if he had already recovered his full power, the Stop Watch would still be useless since Dracula would still be invunerable. Stopping time was not an option, but harnessing the castle's power for another use could wield better results.

He then devised a plan of his own: Approaching Shaft feigning loyalty to Dracula, Germain would use the Stop Watch's small power to guarantee that Shaft could escape the organization just before being caught, and just enough times to be able to eventually summon Dracula and his Castle. Once it was done, Germain would gain access to Castle Dracula's Clock Tower.
By having the Clock Tower replenish and amplify the Stop Watch's power, Saint Germain would be able to send his mind back in time, as opposed to simply stopping time, and finish his plan: Try to stop Hector, the Devil Forgemaster, from becoming Dracula, and change the destiny of mankind.

Having always trusted Germain's good judgment, Ariane was convinced and protected Saint Germain while he made the preparations, but Alucard found them both. Enraged and convinced that both Ariane and Saint Germain were under Shaft's power, Alucard attacked them. Ariane fought valiantly against him, protecting Saint Germain's body while his mind worked in the past.

Albeit being a near undefeatable vampire hunter, Ariane Beaumont's skill and Vampire Killer replica were no match for Alucard's hundreds of years of experience in combat. Alucard left Ariane on the brink of death and went on to recover the watch from Saint Germain, but just as he approached, the fabric of reality began undoing itself. Saint Germain's plan was a success, and mankind was saved. Ariane smiled as she could hold off Dracula's son long enough for the plan to work.

Jop:
Dolores Belmont





Story and some info:

(click to show/hide)

Late 17th century Desmond manage to destroy Dracula but still the castle dont crumble, why? To find the right answers he was going to travel to search the old books of gandolfi that is hiding some where, Giovanni is going to travel with him because he have a good idea of where to go.
 several days later a horde of monsters start to come out of the Castle and a lot of person are talking about the Return of Dracula, Desmond is not here to stop this but in case this happen he leave the Vampir Killer in the hands of Dolores, now she have to destroy all the monsters until his Brother return with the answer or find the way to stop this holocaust.



 Dolores Info:
*She cant use magic well so she use a magic book to cast all the magics she knows.
*She likes to use a cape since she remember some one of his ancestor use that too.
*She is the younger sister of Desmond's two sisters.
*She is equally capable of handling the Vampire Killer like Desmond.
*She can use the subweapons but needs more practice.



Other Info:
 Some of the history I dont like, for example why Desmond leave the whip? (I can think he make that because he dosnt need it, the whip works fantastic for a lot of creatures but its better to stay because its the only weapon that can defeat Dracula in the easy way) why he dosnt stay and someone search the book of Rinaldo? (Well I can think its because no one else its capable to find that, the info that tell Giovannia about where is its dangerous) I think in that but I dont know, perhaps Im thinking too much XD.
 In the art she is Blonde but in the game she have redhair, I didnt know which choose so thats why I made boths, its the same, the only diference its the change of hair color.

 If you read some errors its because Im not good with english so sorry about that
 I made the others arts because I need some inspiration, this days where so hard so make this make me feel in a good mood.

Draila

(click to show/hide)

In the Year 1476 the people became disturbed when monsters, who had until that point only been talked about in legend, started to appear in populated areas. According to rumors, they were commanded by a mysterious Count in black known as Dracula. Viewing the situation with great concern, the Eastern Orthodox Church sent out their troops to subdue to the threat. Because he was suspected to be a vampire, a secret team was deployed to find and defeat Dracula.
 Draila a young Magic Caster was sent there too, she was injured seriously fighting a giant cyclops but manage to escape, several days after a young warrior  find her and cured. When she woke up, told to him about his mission, the young warrior was there for that purpose too, so they team up to go to Draculas Castle and stop this madness.



 Draila dosnt know but she is related to the family of the Belmonts but only with the grandfather of Leon Belmont. There in the Castle she will know that a lot of monsters hate the smell of a Belmont and plan to eradicate the entire clan.

 She is good casting Ice magic:

Donvermicelli: 3rd-Place (Tie)



Story:

(click to show/hide)

Seranna grew up inside of Castlevania, being the daughter of Succubus she had never felt quite as sinister as her mother.
She knew that somehow she was different, a train of thought that was further entertained by the fact that her demonic powers never fully developed
even as she came of age. For the longest time Seranna wondered about who her father was until she came across Alucard, it was through him that she learned of her mixed descent that
would explain her inner disdain for evil. Yes, it was all because her father was no other than Richter Belmont.

Donvermicelli's Thunderbird 3rd Place

(click to show/hide)

Lore:

(click to show/hide)

Name: Thunderbird, Thunder Bird

Features: Extremely large bird resembling an eagle

Source: Native American Folklore

Habitat: The Americas


The Thunderbird was an enormous supernatural bird of tremendous strength and power, capable of causing storm like winds and thunder by simply beating its wings.

This creature was said to be able to shoot lightening from its' eyes and fill the sky with the darkest clouds as it flew overhead.

It resembled an oversized eagle with either one or two heads and sometimes described as having rows of teeth inside its' huge menacing beak.

This was one creature that many agreed was best to avoid and at all costs, refrain from disturbing or upsetting in anyway.

Some North American indigenous tribes believed that these formidable mythical creatures could shape shift into human form and take on human mates.

The families created would then keep to themselves while living the day to day in human form but, if the need arose, they could simply put on their supernatural feather blankets to tranform and take vengeance on anyone or anything that threatened their existence.

Yeah, that's why I stopped using it. However, I think the removed ones are not getting reuploaded, because I don't have many of these anymore.

I'll give a look over my folders and see if I can recover them all.
