What if he does!? *GASP!*



Here we go... this is perfect.

See, something like that would be great if they could get away with it.  It would start out as a handsome guy and turn into that.

I don't get the gay tones either. Incubi would be, by their very definition, non-gay demons. Their purpose is the IMPREGNANT WOMEN. It's not like they are going to use their sex appeal on male characters. That's what the Succubi are for.

And if you think Alucard looked better in CV3 than in Symphony then... what? Alucard looked horrible originally. Really, which do you prefer?

Of course not I'm not blind :P I'ts something "more" than appareance:

- "Goodbye land of my birth, I will never see your beauty again"
- "The blood flooding through my games is cursed, it wil, be the best for the world for me to dissapear"

Seriously WTF? Now that's emo.

Everything comes full circle

Well, yea... when you think you're cursed.... you'd normally be pretty depressed.

Well, I rather like the Succubi enemies so I guess it's only fair to have Incubi too.

I'm not exactly an Alucard lover, but I'm not a hater either. However, considering the Twilight hate CV fans often display, it's sort of amusing how much "Twilight"ness Alucard already had in SotN. Just look at the game's ending - the entire "forbidden love for a cursed handsome fellow" protostory is there in full force. Not necessarily a bad thing, expecially since it was done in unsuspicious times, but if there's a Cullen in CV, it's Alucard  ;D .

Certainly not. Besides, Soma would make Kirby look badass next to him.

Wait, are you implying Kirby isn't a badass? Dude, he eats his enemies! WHOLE! then steals their powers to kick their friend's asses!

Problem is, odds are the that the inside of Kirby is as cute and fuzzy as the outside is. Your lifestyle improves once you're inside Kirby.

^^^ Well, I think the love story in SotN was probably the worst thing about it. At first, I really thought nothing of it as being a love story at all, more than it being a one-sided love story with Maria becoming enamored over Alucard, in the same way that wacky girls have been swooning over guys like David Cassidy, Donny Osmond, or even Justin Beiber. Y'know, classic one-side "dream boat" infatuation. I mean, nothing gave me the impression that Alucard felt anything for her. Nor did I ever get the impression that a few chance meetings(BRIEF meetings) could result in them totally falling in love with each other. Alucard seemed like he could care less. It wasn't until the SotN radio drama that it became apparent that they DID love each other, which felt totally strange to me.

Well, the only thing that you really get from NoR is that they live together but Alucard is still acting like an Edward Cullen. Hopefully it stays that away since the whole thing is indeed really dumb.

I wouldn't mind at all, nor would i be bothered if it were to be homo/bi/heterosexual. Something is kinda bugging me though and maybe someone could clarify for me.  I thought male succubi (Inccubi) are actually described in lore to be the opposite of the females, that is they were disfigured and disgusting.  Didn't have the ability so change their appearance and possibly hide their actual horrible appearance from their prey. Is my memory off or did i actually read this before?

Edit: nvm did a few quick searches and it seems this only applied to certain regional lore.

Well in all the old paintings I've seen of incubi from the 1800's and such they always potray them as scary and demonic, with ugly faces and warped bodies. However I'm sure they have the power to take the form of really attractive men to seduce women. Even though succubi tend to get potrayed as sexy scantity-clad bat winged divas, I'm sure even their true forms were originally ugly and monsterous like all demons. Strangely I've never seen any old art potraying succubi, except for a painting of Lilith (Adam's first wife who became a succubus) where she was naked and had a snake wrapped around her. She didn't have bat wings though.
