   ...dhampirs anyone? (NOT THAT I LIKE THE IDEA)

If LOS introduced a female lead it would probably adhere to the more profitable sexy vampire stereotype in the same way that Gabriel was a morally ambiguous anti hero

aww that makes me sad, pandering to the basic side of the masculine >< if they do that... you'd basically have bloodrayne. (i laugh at her stupid head)

are there no games, movies, books, where the female lead was both a believeable character AND sexy and or beautiful? see... that's why i asked if society was ready for a realistic female lead.

and i, like the idea of a dampire belmont almost as much as i like watching paint dry. it suggests that 'dracula' wasn't such a bad guy and then you run into softening the one baddy that was never meant to be anything but perpetual evil.

it will further romantasize a freaking demon. which is just silly! well, to me it is. oh i could go on, but... i really hope if there is ever a female belmont in the CLOS world... she is gabriel's sister... or some kind of far reaching relative, proved by some old manuscript somewhere LOL stretching it a bit... but i can imagine. and she takes on gabriel's surname because his true demise is still unknown to all others.

Yeah.  They completely killed the concept of a vampire as a monster.  They have essentially reduced them to a bunch of emo pretty boys.  While I can see how that caters to the tastes of the ladies, it alienates the straight guys (really pisses me off).  The best example of a true vampire outside of CV is the Alucard from the hellsing anime and manga.  Now that is a vampire!!!

i know right?! even integral is totally badass. i'm a lady... and alucard from hellsing... definately catered to me... there was nothing romantic to him. it was all raw power (and a good looking mug) that lended him the attractivness. but on the unlikely event that he was real and i met him... no... just no. i'd run away screaming.

EXACTLY!

as for a believable leading belmont lady... yeah, i could really go for that. i just wish there was a way to bring her about. *le sigh

Would you? As I recall, he was something of a gentleman...didn't he save Seras Victoria's life? Albeit by turning her into a vampire, but still...

hence the running away. the life (or the unlife rather) of a vampire has been glamourized. it's gruesome thing. nearly immortal, watching everyone around you die, limitless power that eventually takes it's toll. nope, i'll leave that to the already damned... count me out... hehe, i crack myself up.

I agree twilight is a piece of crap but Anne Rice's Interview with the vampire is pretty good imo.

Anne Rice is who Stephanie Myers WISHES she was.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

YES! I've noticed that they're aren't many women who kick ass in the series, what the fuck are the developers chauvinist dudes or what?! To be honest I think they made females pretty half ass, yeah lets A- make one a warrior type (Kind of) B-Make her spellcaster type. Not much in the middle well rounded characters.

The idea of being sexy some say? Well she's a vampire hunter, doesn't matter how she's dressed, if she's got a rockin' body, a pretty face, and kicks ass, she's going to be sexy. (LOL I used an eff load of commas!  :P)

She can be dressed like Mother Teresa for all guys care but if she meets the prerequisites above, the sex appeal will come.

I'm waiting for the day when the developers will bring a female hero.
What we I want for a female Hero.

List of Wants
Kick Ass
Looks Good *Physically includes body,face,hair, etc Blah Blah*
Sounds Good *If she has a voice I hear from Japanese Hentai's I swear I will choke a b*ch*
Has Charisma *Never FORGER about Personality*
Has a History (Back Story! Why should we care about this chick? Why does she want to kill?)
Great Moves/Variety of Moves ( She better defend herself well or again I will choke a b*tch)

I'm sure people have other ideas I can't think of anything else really needed for a female heroine at the moment.

PS. Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing owns. ;D
