I liked the characters on the N64 games.
I liked Reinhardt, Carrie, Vincent, Actrise, Henry, Cornell, Ortega, and Gilles deRais, though this last one had such a stupidly small role that it's almost weird to bring him up.
I'd like to believe that in one universe, you have Rondo/SotN/OoE/AoS/DoS, while in another universe you have DraculaXX/CotM/LoD/CV64/Resurrection, and the timetravelling of Resurrection in one timeline is what creates the other timeline, with Sonia, while the first timeline is with Leon.
