Poll

Which Belmont got screwed the most?  You may choose 2.

Leon --Betrayed by hist best friend.  Forced to murder his fiance.  Didn't get the chance to fight Dracula.
Trevor --Lost an eye to Dracula.  Mortally wounded and kissed by Isaac.  Never even gets an epilogue in CoD.
Christopher --Monochrome, 8-bit Chris sits at the back of the Belmont bus.  Kicked Drac's ass twice and still didn't make Greatest 5.
Solieyu --Pocessed by Dracula at 14, he gets the ass whipping of his life from his own dad.  Poor kid.
Simon --More makeovers than Michael Jackson.  Would the real Simon please stand up?
Juste --weird winky merchant seems to be following him round the Castles...  Ends up having to share Lydie with Maxim.
Richter --After Rondo, his mind was violated by a Dark Priest.   May have been forced to murder his lover, Annette.
Julius --Suffered amnesia for 36 years.  Could be the last Belmont if he doesn't get laid.
Sonia --If Chris sits in the back of the Belmont bus, Sonia was thrown under it.  Disowned by official canon.
Victor --This is what a digital abortion looks like.  Resurection indeed.
Desmond, Zoe and Delores --Banished to the sub-canon  of  crappy cellular gaming.  Barely even added to this poll...
I don't know.  My mind was also violated by a Dark Priest.

Hah!  This is pretty funny.  I went with Leon, as it would suck to have to kill your fiance.  Nothing in Belmont history has been that bad.

What, no Desmond?

Anywho, Soleyu and Victor. Sonia at least got a game.

Christopher Belmont for having to fight his son (I wonder if Soleiyu ever recovered from that...) and Leon for having to kill his wife.



What, Simon went through agonising physical pain?

BAWWWWWWWWW!

To me, a Belmont's greatest pain is that of hurting others, not being hurt themselves.

I went with Chris, one of the few Belmonts to have to fight Dracula twice, beat his son down, and is barely remembered. D:  I mean, that sucks!

And Leon, because that's some bad shit to happen to someone.  Of course, it birthed an eternal grudge against vampires for the Belmont clan...

Story-wise, Leon.  Everything that happened to him was totally messed up.

Reality-wise, Christopher.  He's in some pretty good games but comparatively, not that many people seem to care about him.

HAHA, this is hilarious!

Good points for each character though. My vote goes to Christopher. I've been saying that for years. He's the most unsung, unappreciated Belmont I think. I would love if the next Chronicles game is a re-telling of Christopher's story.

For me Chris is one of the best and underrated Belmont's.

Christopher is coming on strong --and I agree he needs a Chronicles remake game, but he got screwed in another way you guys might not realize...  Curse of Darkness stole Dracula's first resurrection away from Chris.  There was so much potential to explain away Dracula's rite of resurrection --and even catch the Belmonts completely off-guard.  These rites may have been a closely guarded secret --to lull the people of Europe into a false sense of security after Trevor's victory...  But again this unique type of Castlevania story-telling was never even attempted in the game that stole Christopher's thunder.   :(

Leon storyline wise: he so far as had the worst things happen to him and never really quite got to get back Dracula personally for any of it. His entire story so far is the most tragic. But at least he got a whip out of it and got to smack around Death a few times.  :P

Chris wins no respect wise: honestly, he's one of the most underrated in the series and he's actually done some things worthy of him being considered pretty damn awesome but Belmont standards. Plus having to save his son had to have sucked. He got gipped in the 'Greatest 5' department.

Julius, because being the last of a lineage > other concerns, especially in this scenario, and especially if usurped by someone like our lab coat loving friend...
