Sign Up Castlevania: Serenade of Illusion

[Talon]

[color=crimson][i]He lives in his keep, huddled away from the masses upon which he feeds. His rule upon the world secure. His powers beyond measure. His wife, Lisa, dead and gone. His damphile son, Adrian, asleep in his coffin. Or so our "noble" lord would hope to think....[/color][/i]

[color=teal]The year is 2364. Mankind has suffered greatly, and instead of progressing, has regressed. When the Belmont clan fell during the Cleansing, a genocide of all ?magical or unexplainable? persons, the world had killed one of their only saviors. Dracula, sensing his rival finally defeated, arose again to plague the innocent. His wrath first enveloped Europe, then Asia, then the Americas. Every continent fell to his grasp, his minions spawning more minions from each continent. Nobody was there to hinder his dominance....

Well, almost nobody.

Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes, better known as the dhampile, Alucard.

Asleep in his sepulcher since he, Maria, and Richter sealed Dracula away for a hundred years, Alucard vowed never to allow his nature to harm anyone else. However, the last living Belmont accidentally stumbled upon his casket and unsealed it, releasing at last the sleeping Son of Darkness. Alucard and the Belmont must now collect descendants from all of the other killers that aided the Belmonts and Alucard in Dracula's defeat numerous times before.....[/color]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[b][color=royal blue][center]Families[/center][/b]

This is a list of all of the families available. Note that I will allow up to two members from each.

[b]DaNasty:[/b]Expert thieves that carry only daggers and throwing axes, the DaNasty family has aided Trevor Belmont before with their ability to climb walls and leap far distances.

[b]Belnades:[/b]Powerful magicians with a taste for irony, they carry only staves and rods. Their elemental magic skills are unparalled, but their vitality is something to be missed. They aided Trevor Belmont first, then Soma Cruz.

[b]Lycanis:[/b]Members of the lycanthrope Cornell's family, this hardy clan is unmatched in strength, though they only use their bare hands (or claws) in battle. Preceded Reinhart Schneider (a Belmont) and Carrie Fernandez in defeating Dracula.

[b]Fernandez:[/b]A branch of the Belnades that studies beam magiks, they use magical chakrams and short blades as weapons. The vitality and strength of the Fernandez, like the Belnades, is something lacking.

[b]Kishine:[/b]Family that aided Juste Belmont. They wield huge swords with great efficiency, though they lack any magical abilities whatsoever.

[b]Baldwin:[/b]Like the Belmonts, this family weilds whips and swords against the Prince of Darkness. Their speed and agility are unmatched, as is their skill with their respective weapons. it is rumored that they are descended from the mighty Alucard. They aided Nathan Graves, a Belmont, in Dracula's defeat.

[b]Lecarde:[/b]Wielders of the mystical Alcarde spear, they are fast, agile, and able to leap extraordinary distances. They can also twirl the Alcarde Spear, fashioned from the very thigh bone of the last living dragon, Bahamut [b](see ?Draygnar?)[/b], with excellent ease and skill for any amount of time with lethal efficiency. The Lecardes aided John Morris, a Belmont descendant, in destroying Dracula in the early 1900?s

[b]Draygnar:[/b]A family of dragons capable of regeneration, their bones have been said to grant a human holder with great speed, strength, and skill. With excellent vitality and defense, they outlast even the most hardy opponents. One remains, the mighty Bahamut. They bear the ?transform? ability, mixing their dragon and human appearances.

[b]Oldrey:[/b]Masters of the pistol, the descendants of Henry Oldrey, who aided Carrie Fernandez and Reinhart Schneider by rescuing children before they could be vessels for Dracula?s spirit. The Oldrey family is strong, especially when firing their magnum pistols. They have the ability to equip any form of armor.

[b]Renard:[/b]Summoners with unmatched skill, the Renards aided Alucard himself before in Dracula's defeat. Their vitality is lacking, but magic has no effect at all on them. They attack with doves, ravens, or whatever small bird suits their attitude.[/color]

[b][color=crimson][center]Skills[/center][/b] [u][b]Note:[/b]You may have any abilities but Transform, Feed, and Climb (unless you belong to the family listed), but if you do not belong to the family listed, you will be half as effective as the family member with that skill. I.E. Dash at half speed, breathe in only water, Backflip less distance, etc.[/u]

[b]Doublejump:[/b]Jump twice in a row. Kishine?s and Lycanis? specialty

[b]Backflip:[/b]Jump backwards in a flipping motion, avoiding danger. Renard?s and Belnades? specialty.

[b]Transform:[/b]Available only to certain families, enables the person to become one form of a creature related to him/her.

[b]Dash:[/b]Move at high speeds along any surface, including water, if a special artifact is equipped. Anybody?s move.

[b]Feed:[/b]Available only to a dhampile, this ability allows the dhampile to feed off of an enemy?s blood to restore health. Alucard?s specialty.

[b]Climb:[/b]Towers? Not a problem. Just scale the sides. DaNasty?s specialty.

[b]Defend:[/b]Guard an attack and take half damage. Lycanis?, Kishine, and Oldrey specialty.

[b]Breath of Life:[/b]Breathe in any environment without penalty. Alucard?s, Belmont?s specialty.

After destroying his father, Alucard sealed himself off until he was awakened by Maria Renard to battle Dracula and save Richter Belmont from an evil sorcerer?s grip. Succeeding, Alucard again slept after the adventure.

Bio: Born to the Draygnar, Bahamut was to become the most powerful dragon. He fought, fought, and fought to be the best in his clan, but in a battle against his sister, Tiamat, he lost his thighbone, something that really pissed him off. Understandably. Dracula empowered Tiamat, making her the most powerful evil dragon of the world, and Bahamut's goal is to destroy her once and for all, then kill her allies. And anyone else who wants to steal his skeleton...


Appearance: Human form: Grey eyes, long raven black hair, falls to his shoulder. Imposing, though not bulky, musculature. Tends to wear long black clothing.

Dragon form: Black drake, one of the largest in the world. Ruby eyes. A long, silver scar down one leg. Batlike wings, pinioned. Upswept black horns. Spined tail.[/font][/color]

[Talon]

[color=teal]The results! I chose four, mainly to keep numbers low and to make the story more focused around a group than split members, but also to make it transition easily to split parties. My choices are:

[b]The Harlequin[/b]

[b]Raquel[/b]

[b]Orien_Xel[/b]

[b]DuoMax[/b]

I am waiting on one more member, Juuthena, though. If she does not make the grand total 'six', I shall choose one of the remainders or allow more to try out. Thank you for trying out.[/color]
