Astaroth: That's right! The punishing metal kanabo! I would love to see one with elemental damage--swinging around a giant icicle or a log studded with enchanted fireballs would be a fresh spin on the classic mechanic!

Oh man I am exceedingly excited by this news! Having played almost 1,000 hours of Binding of Isaac Rebirth I am really looking forward to this expansion. With all these new additions I can easily see wringing another 1,000 hours or more out of the game! GET HYPE!

Name: Constanz Waites
Race: Human (?)
Signature Weapon: Constanz always carries a nondescript sheath from which the hilt of a sharkskin-wrapped katana hilt can be seen. When drawn the katana glints in the light with a distinctive blue hue. It's properties beyond the unique coloration of it's blade are unknown at this time.
Appearance: With piercing blue eyes and silver-grey hair Constanz appears much older than he claims to be. However, his body carries the scars of an entire other lifetime lived in certain violence. His body is highly athletic, but the muscles beneath his skin stand out like the tormented roots of old trees. His face carries a distinctive set of scars which cascade down the left side of his features from hairline to jaw. They appear red and vivid as if freshly healed...or never healed correctly in the first place.
When the castle appeared Constanz immediately felt drawn to it. He had heard the rumors--they were the current talk of all the various bars and taverns that he frequented while looking for freelance work. The wound on his face throbbed with a dull ache, warning him that there was more to this mysterious ruin than what lay on the surface, much like himself. Yet curiosity compelled him to plumb it's strange depths, investigate the creatures that lay within it's walls, and catalog the strange encounters with both friend and foe, knowing that the castle would draw many people who live the same transient lifestyle as he. Flying in the face of the dangers he knew must lurk inside the castle he sought to explore it's every nook and cranny to his own personal sense of satisfaction.
With this in mind the wanderer once more slipped on the harness of his massive, over-sized pack around his shoulders. It was time to depart from this droll, grey world of safety and security for the brilliant danger of the unknown. For the first time in years Constanz felt alive again! Gazing down the lonely road that lead into the ancient forest and the castle itself he tossed his head back and cackled with delight. Setting out in early the morning with nothing more than the sun cutting through the morning mist to guide his way. He was soon in the midst of this ancient forest itself. "It's...unusually noisy for an early morning forest." He muttered darkly, brow furrowing in minor annoyance. "And here I am not having enjoying my morning cup of coffee yet!" The sound of something trampling through the brush caught his attention. It appeared to be a corpse given life, judging by the awful pallor of it's skin. Ragged strips of meat hung slack from it's jaws...the viscera of it's latest victim. The wanderer was nonplussed. With a soft groan he shed the pack as if it was weightless and reached for the katana on his right hip. The satisfying click as the blade unstuck from the scabbard for the first time in months.
There was a blue flash as his katana caught the rays of sunlight shining through the treetops and the zombie slid cleanly in two, it's spine severed. "Oh! And no one was around to see it! Of course not! I kill an undead beast in one blow and no one will ever believe it! Hah hah hah haa!" Whisking the old blood from his blade with a few quick gestures it slid once more back home. "And here I was worried that I would never be able to make it to the castle before sundown. There is nothing more terrifying in this forest than me...for now!" Chuckling to himself Constanz took up his backpack and made good time towards his destination. Soon the towering edifice of stone and it's surrounding outbuildings loomed before him. Standing before the entrance with arms akimbo and hands resting on his hips the wanderer's weary blue eyes took in the situation. "Mmmmh....the bridge is up." Setting his backpack down Constanz found a comfortable spot to sit as he began to rummage through it. "I know I should have invested in a grappling hook! That would solve all of life's problems right now!"

A castle has erupted from the ground somewhere in the ancient forests of Eastern Europe and has begun spewing forth legions of what can only be described as the Undead. Ill tidings are everywhere as something unnatural claws it’s way to the surface of this world. Strange eldritch portals are emerging from thin air as more monsters pour out...but with these monsters from other worlds come heroes as well...
Welcome to Collide, my forum roleplay thread! Rather than have a detailed plot and storyline in mind I’ve decided to introduce something more open-ended to everyone. The down and dirty gist of the plot is as follows: someone or something has raised a giant, Gothic castle and it’s surrounding buildings seemingly out of the ground itself. The area around the castle is an ancient span of old growth forest which straddles the border between two third-world countries. Shortly after the castle appeared rifts in the fabric of space and time began to open up for miles around it. More monsters spilled through-- villains cast adrift through space and time--but something came with them. Heroes of the realms--the Belmonts, the Morrises, and other heroes lost to myth and legend. It is the siren call of this castle which draws would-be heroes and their dark counterparts to an uncertain fate...
This unique setup will allow for an interesting mechanic: there very well may be two Alucards in the same room at the same time, two very different Simons, and the like.With this in mind let’s review the rules for this Roleplaying thread:
1.) Respect your fellow players at all times. While I understand that your PC (Player Character) may be mortal foes with someone else’s, there is no reason to take the tension of the RP thread to the larger forum abroad. We’re all part of this forum to enjoy Bloodstained with our fellow fans. 2.) With regards to multiple people playing the same character I am going to cap the limit of repeated characters to 2. Any more than this will become confusing and I sincerely do not want to see players fighting over their favorite characters. With this in mind OC (Original Characters) are completely welcome. They will be bound by the same rules as all other characters however, as detailed below. 3.) Fair play is fun play. There will be no tolerance of god-modding, auto-hitting or other violations of basic forum role-play etiquette. There is to be no permanent killing of any PC unless it is agreed on by both parties. With this in mind not even the immortal Dracula and his perennial minion, the physical manifestation of Death, can ignore every attack. A defeat does not signify character death.
For convenience sake I have included a small character skeleton to help new, up-and-coming roleplayers flesh out their OC while still leaving enough wiggle room for characters to develop in an organic way: Name: Race: Signature Weapon: A brief physical description: Reason for entering the castle:
On this note I will personally make the first post tomorrow in order to get the ball rolling on what I hope will be an excellent thread that carries us all the way to the debut of Bloodstained itself!

Ultimately I believe Holy Weapons will be a feature in Bloodstained. However the form in which they appear may be different than what we have seen in the past. Without a doubt the Holy attribute and it's ability to repel and defeat vampires lies at the core of their mythology. Vampires have long symbolized dark desire--sin which is defeated by the purity of religious practices--and therefore their iconography was used to represent this. However now that Bloodstained has outlined that demons are the main foe to be confronted we may see a slight shift away from such black-and-white representation.
Demons represent all the great evils in the world as perceived by men. They are most often creatures of Darkness...and thus are defeated by Light. Crystals refract light and stained glass is most radiant when light is shining through it so the label for the Holy element may simply change to Light. Also in other media where there is not a huge focus on the religious aspect of demons and the like weapons which repel and defeat them I have seen weapons referred to as "warded"against demons and their bizarre and otherworldly physiology. This certainly implies religious connection but does not specify anything further. Whatever direction IGA and the design team chose to go with this particular topic will be the right choice in my opinion. They cannot build the game to suit everyone but must do their best to appeal to the majority.

I've gone under the knife a couple of times myself and I know the anxiety that seems to overtake one when the operation draws close. I'm glad you're doing alright after the procedure though, Nezuto. Meanwhile with your six week recovery period you can spend even more time on the Bloodstained Forum! Okay I admit that was a poor joke on my part to try and get you to laugh a little. I hope you're managing the pain well! Don't push yourself too hard!

I don't know much about podcasting but I do have a decent quality microphone and I would love to give my two cents if and when the stream gets running! Please keep this thread updated as we progress so I can lend a helping arm...or tentacle, as the need suits!

Lelygax: Ah, I wasn't aware of that myself! It's been some time since I sat through the SoTN credits. His work is quite the inspiration--especially for myself. I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but his works have featured prominently in the soundtrack of my various campaigns as background music when my friends and I used to get together to play table top RPGs. The darker the setting the better!

I feel this bears posting here. It's from the DVD "Art of Silent Hill" and I really enjoy it--composed of course by Yamaoaka himself. It has a dissonant feel and the pounding bassline makes it almost catchy.

So, did they ever figure out the logistics of melee combat without dying? And why wouldn't you support the USA? After all, we have... And our hero! Hahaha, one can only hope that the Chibodee Girls are the American pit crew!

Hahahah, I just pulled this image off of Imgur earlier today too! We know that Johannes was the only dissenting voice against the Alchemist Guild's decision to bring demons to Earth in order to show the world they still retained much of their power .It is stated that he was good friends with Gebel so perhaps he was once an orphan himself, until he was adopted into the Alchemist's Guild? I still stand by my desire to see a 'demon merchant' in the game. All his wares...for a price. Although the player might think the demon desire's Miriam's soul he's quite content with gold and jewel pieces. Or perhaps we'll see some form of incarnate lesser demon than assists Miriam if she brings trinkets to appeal to the demon. Similar in fashion to the talking birds from the Dark Souls series.

Ahahahahah! Thank you thank you! As soon as you mentioned Furbies I thought of the circuit bending/Noise music scene. My signature is actually part of an album cover by one of my favorite Noise artists.

Podstained: Cast of the Night? Sounds good! I would definitely be interested in giving it the occasional listen as we get closer to the release date. Especially since each new update will hopefully bring a surge of new life and new information to the forum.

Perhaps Bloodstained will take the Skull Girls approach, with each different palette swap being a shout out to another heroine of video game fame: -Blue and purple for Zero Suit Samus -White and purple with cat ears for Neko Arc (I'm looking at YOU Arcueid Brunestud )) -Red skin with tan clothes for Scanty or Kneesocks -Pink suit with Green Hair in reference to Justin Bailey. This way it's only a reference and not a direct shout out to those games, nimbly avoiding any issue with copyright or licensing.

Oh yes, you're absolutely right! I hadn't even thought of that.With that in mind perhaps there could be giant sized bosses which span multiple screens or have multiple parts which Miriam must defeat individually. Scaling the tower that contains the beast as she goes!
