From time to time, some discussions shows up about who could be the extra playable characters on Bloodstained. This has already been discussed at various threads, even with one for each character. Even so, it is interesting to think what roles, overall, each character will have in Bloodstained, since some may be playable characters, some may be bosses, others may have supporting roles and some are completely hidden in mysteries. Since we don't have too much to discuss nowadays, i think it's time to revive some old discussion topics with the and this is, by far, one of the most interesting ones.
Back in 2015, when Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's Kickstarter...started, it didn't take long to reach stretch goals that gave three playable characters to the game. One is Miriam, of course, and two others that officially we don't know yet. What character do you think will be a playable character, and why?
If that character is not a playable character, what his/her role will be in the game? Quest giver? Shopkeeper? Boss? Corrupted villian? Something else?
Tell us, what do you think will be the role for each of the characters below!
ZANGETSU  For many, Zangetsu is a given. He is a demon hunter, has a huge grudge against demons, specially because his partner was killed by one, and it has been mentioned countless times that he slays anything demonic or even loosely related to demons.
DOMINIQUE Dominique conquered the hearts of many with her sexy and beautiful looks and that, alone, made some people believe she might be playable. As an exorcist of the church, that saved Anne, she will run the game's shop, but sometimes she will not be there. Fightning against demons, perhaps? Some even think she may have a greater role in the game (as a villian?).
JOHANNES Johannes was in the first pack of characters revealed back in 2015, when Bloodstained's kickstarter...kickstarted. An alchemist that didn't agreed with his guild's actions, he wasn't killed by Gebel, probably because they have a friendship. Johannes is still quite surrounded in mystery about what will be his role. But some believe he may be a playable character or something more sinister.
ALFRED The best among the best alchemists, Alfred is the classic "powerful old man" trope. It seems he is looking for some special alchemy items and he survived Gebel's purge, mostly because he is just too powerful. He was the one who summoned the demon that killed Zangetsu's partner, with begs the question of why that happened. Maybe Zangetsu and his partner were already hunting him down?
ANNE At first glance, Anne doesn't look like anything else other than being a cheerful kid with a dark past to give some empathy to the whole plot. As a substitute shopkeeper for when Dominique is out of town, it's hard to picture her having any other role. But we never know...
GEBEL
 It's really easy to think of Gebel as nothing more than the game's villian and Bloodstained's take on Dracula. A tragic person with a profund hatred due to what happened to him, transformed as a beacon to attract demons, having slaughtered his own guild due to that, summoning a castle to serve as home for him and Miriam and losing his mind over the years of the magi-curse taking effect. But Igavania games had plot twists in the past. Maybe Gebel knows more than what meets the eye or maybe there is a greater power at work.
MIRIAM
Miriam is the game's main character, the heroine that will stop Gebel's ambitions, another victmin of the Magi-curse that is using her powers and the powers of demons to protect humanity. We all know that. But what if there is something else about her that we don't know? A bitter end? A unthinkable plot twist? Who knows...
That's all folks! |

So, I've had two gut feelings since the beginning of the Kickstarter campaign... 1. Johannes as a Maria-type character. Y'know, he's exploring the castle alongside the protag, yet on his own terms. You encounter him in many different areas, and you communicate with him, he gives you interesting/helpful facts, items, and/or drives the story's plot forward. Maybe you even end up fighting him like you do Hugh in CotM. Perhaps over a conflict regarding Gebel, since Johannes was his best friend in the past? He looks like the kind of character who would be wise and supportive, otherwise. And 2. Gebel definitely being a playable character. I'm not sure what it is, but I get this Vergil from DMC3 vibe from him(concept-wise, not character-wise). Being the main antagonist, sharing the Magi-crystal Curse with the protagonist, and just his spectacular design in general. I feel like it'd be too good of an opportunity to pass up, I guess? He'd give that sense of being familiar on a gameplay standpoint(since his curse could allow him to utilize certain abilities same as Miriam), while still being a fresh experience(naturally he'll have things only he can do, his own unique skill sets). I'm sure Gebel will appeal greatly to players by the end of the game, so why not have him as a playable character? Who doesn't love getting the chance to be the bad guy, especially one you like!  Aside from those 2 (and Miriam, of course), this is my first time actually reading about these new characters, so allow me to give my first impressions also! Zangetsu: Angry demon hunter with a wicked design and all the motive to be there?? I can definitely see why people would assume him as a playable character. Just by looking at his design you can tell he's gonna have a lot of different skills and abilities, so unless we duke it out against him in the castle, that's a rather extravagant design for a smaller role! So yeah, playable character is very likely. If not, perhaps he'll be some sort of arms dealer who you can buy weapons off? I mean it's unlikely, but... I can see him being the kind of character to be so set on revenge that he loses his smarts and ends up getting cursed or possessed or something or other, something to force you into battle with him whether either of you like it or not. Dominique: Though it's stated she'll be running the shop in the castle, it would certainly be interesting to have her as a playable character. She'd offer a very different experience, most likely. Less about the weapons, more about the cool magical stuff. Story-wise I don't know what to expect of her, but I would love for her to play a greater role! And hey, the more plot twists, the better, I say! Alfred: He's at fault for killing Zangetsu's partner? Oooooh dramaaaaah! xD There's going to be a feud in this castle. Maybe we'll be forced to pick a side? That'd be sweet. If he's summoning demons though, that doesn't sound good. Perhaps he's another baddie, after all. Powerful old grandpa's are always welcome as playable characters though. I wouldn't mind. It'd be like a “what if we could have played as the librarian in SotN?” Anne: Nooooo, don't let her fight! We must protect that smile! D: A little kid in an evil, cursed castle... Plot twist, she's the main villain. No?? Okay. I can't very well see her being a playable character, but... You're right, we do never know. I'll rule her out for now though. As for story purposes, I do hope she's got some higher significance. Maybe because she's so small she can get around the castle via small pathways and shafts and such, and thus lead to her helping you out in certain situations. Or uh, perhaps she'll be like... a Familiar summoner or such. Hey, there's a thought for ya! |

C'mon, Enkeria , the thread has been out for a whopping 5 hours, and you haven't put your finger in the pie? You're slacking... ...anyway. I think these are the roles that the characters will play. MIRIAM
Miriam's role is pretty obvious, we don't need to talk about her.GEBEL
While Gebel is advertised as the game's main antagonist, I think we can agree that he probably isn't the actual bad guy here. While I would LOVE to point my finger at Alfred, and say "BAD BAD BAD!", I actually gotta say that I think Johannes will be the true villain. I mean really, the plot is set up so perfectly for Johannes to turn Gebel and Miriam against each other, and reap the benefits of disposing of them both. C'mon.
JOHANNES
Another one of the members of the Alchemist's Guild, and likely can harbor the same 'Shard' absorbing power as Miriam and Gebel with proper application. As I said, he strikes me as the true villain. Something about those hipster glasses...ALFRED
I honestly have no idea what Alfred's role will be in the game will be. He could be a late game boss, he could be a shopkeeper, who knows. My best guess would be that he has some quarrel with Gebel, and will play a role similar to Julius Belmont. Naturally having his combat focus more magical oriented though. *Shrugs* The lore mentioned his connection with Zangetsu, but...I dunno. I feel Zangetsu will be more focused on Gebel, and maybe the two stumble across each other and duke it out? Brains VS. Brawns?
ANNE
I'm guessing she's one of the villagers.DOMINIQUE
She could potentially be the Maria of the game??? I don't know enough about her to make an educated guess. :\ I mean, shopkeeper? C'mon...she's gotta have a bigger role than that. :3ZANGETSU
I strongly believe that Zangetsu will be hunting down Gebel, and will also be playable character. I ALSO strongly believe that due to Zangetsu's lore, he will view Miriam as an enemy, and be a mid-late game boss. |

C'mon, Enkeria , the thread has been out for a whopping 5 hours, and you haven't put your finger in the pie? You're slacking...
This topic have been discussed on and off, like Pure Miriam wrote, and if I open and write the things straight out of my mind, I would feel it would spoil for too many, even though I do not know for sure, I am keen on looking at the details and values. There are psychology involved and how the characters have been represented so far.
This is why the following information have a bunch of spoiler tags. These are theories, and I have my reasons to believe in what I am about to write.So you guys have been warned.MiriamA cursed lady. May or may not be surprised when she get her first shard. Could be companied on the Galleon Minerva with one or two others. Probably Johannes and perhaps Zangetsu. After Galleon Minerva (which is the starting point), Miriam feel she have the curse enough under control but starts to collect shards. They then enter the Village, where Johannes are looking for Alfred. You will go separate ways.
Miriam will be the one to start the epic adventure, and it will start when we are finished with the game! [Insert tinfoil hat here]
She will have different endings, but only one true ending. ZangetsuLonewolf, which could be the main character in the prequel. Want to reach the source of the new threat in this world, and have gathered information about a Castle close to England and Iceland. His journey will be a part of the prequel until he reach and defeat the evil to take another trip across the sea, perhaps even on Galleon Minerva.
He will keep an close eye on Miriam, which he sense are fueled with demonic powers. He will not like it, but he will let her settle her own score. Once she has done it, the journey for Zangetsu will start anew, becoming one of the playable characters. This would open up the castle as being the passage he took, while Miriam took another. The game however will represent the same entrance for both of them, leaving the cannon story to belong to that of Miriams journey. With an open mind, we could understand that in this alternate reality of Zangetsu, Miriam actually took another route into the Castle to settle the score with Gebel. Zangetsu however, are more about the source, and that source will be.... Alfred. Since we see him have more weapons than just his Sword, it would feel like Zangetsu will fill the void of "sub weapons" in Bloodstained, and be a heavy melee class - and playable. JohannesThe protector of Miriam, a man with secrets, a man with a heart none the less. He will go along with Miriam and see if they both can get answers from Alfred. He will not be playable but heavy lore related to move the scenes further. While Miriam is out to find Gebel, he will try to find Alfred, only to reveal something dangerous and bizarre.
Even though Johannes has a whip, Miriam's animation on how the whip works only makes my predictions more clear that he will not be playable due to a few reasons. One being that he is, whatever if he likes it or not, a lore character. He also "Only has a whip", something Miriam can handle. He also tends to stay more in the background than the other characters, seeing Zangetsu, Miriam and Gebel having "space" between them and staying more in the spotlight of Mana's painting. I doubt he will be playable due to many reasons. AlfredOld alchemist with a bond with Johannes. Maybe even a father figure. He is however shown in the latest art to only show his head, and when it comes to this in common psychology in paintings, drawing and concepts. It usually means "thought" and "mind". In other words, Alfred is a mastermind of some kind, and without a representation of his whole body, and closer to Johannes than any other character, he belongs to the category of "evil men thinking they do good".
Alfred will be a driving force even before the prequel. He is the reason both Miriam and Gebel are filled with shards and demonic powers. He is also, what Johannes believes, the last hope to save Miriam and Gebel. Alfred however, have a total other new agenda.
If I could, I would double tag this as spoiler... But here goes. LAST WARNING! - Once Gebel and Miriam are together, the full power are connected, and this is what Alfred want! To harness the power, to become the lord of the world. After all, he were one of the original guild-members. And some how.. The only survivor, along with his prodigy pupil / ("son") Johannes. I do not think Johannes understand this, but he will.. In the meantime, Zangetsu are out to put an end to this. DominiqueShopkeeper. Asks Miriam for a favor. Hopefully a playable character. I really hope she will be a playable character, if not, then she is replaced by Gebel for reasons written below in his spoiler tag. Once you meet her, she will be asking for your help to find Anne. Anne was last seen close to the castle, and have surely gotten lost or worse. Miriam will find her, and save her. Leaving her at Dominiques place, the shop will be open. So no shopping until then.
If Dominique would be playable she will be the "spellcaster" of the game. Using heavy spiritual energy and exorcist means to kill of the darkness is a common treat of being a holy warrior. Reasons for me thinking she is playable is not only that she fills the game of a ranged hero in the roaster of Miriam (melee+range balanced) + Zangetsu (melee), in her lore she have been kicked out from the Ministry (!? need source on that) for not sharing the same idea of how to handle things. This means she might be a fighter, and someone that are more than enough capable to but demons back to hell.
When you pick her, we will save Anne ourselves, and once that is done, the shop will be opened once again. In this alternate reality, Miriam never went across the Shop, or Dominique just missed her passing through. Like other playable characters, I believe Miriam is still the alpha story, the main adventure and something that the next IP will be based off. Dominique could try to take the sacred law into her own hands if it weren't for Miriam. AnneA happy and innocent little girl that only wants to help. Like Lestaroth here on the forums are calling me, a fiddler, this is Anne's faith. Perhaps even learn a two about blacksmith as she grows older. She will be the one to aid you in the shop. Selling potions and things alike. She might have stories to share once you get back to her. GebelMaybe playable, and the reason why is because we see him wield fire in Mana's art. He is a strong character and he has a story already layed out for us. If he is unlocked after Miriam, it would make sense that in this alternate reality, it was Miriam whom became the one raising the castle. The reasons that this goes against my theory is that we NEED a "bad guy". If they crisscross everything it would make us very confused, even if it would be stated that Miriams playthrough, and her journey in it are cannon, and not the one of Gebel. A more in-depth.. I think Gebel needs to be the "cover" of the bad man, while something else are behind it all. In Castlevania, Death were a side-kick of Dracula, and Dracula the "big bad", but even he had something behind him, and that was "the chaos". The entity that gave Dracula his powers. In our case, this chaos would be Alfred, sicne he is one of those alchemist that summoned the hell upon us, which have now been shaped into Gebels image.. Of love towards Miriam, and the salvation beyond it. Mystery ManTop Secret, right? How about.. maybe not!? The only reason to keep him in the shadows, are to introduce him to an upcoming feature. If it were about lore and story, there could just be limited information about him. And as a playable character it would make sense just to keep him hidden 100% until it was time for an update about him / them. Naa.. I am pretty sure that Mystery Man is.. a blacksmith, jeweler and craftsman. I believe he is the one to give us the higher tiers of weapon and end-game equipment. If not at the near end of the first playthrough, then in the New Game +, the Nightmare Difficulty, or in some or any other Mode represented in the game.
Along with him and Dominique, we will have an all-round place to shop everything. It would make sense to have two different places to do two different things. To forge and craft just by standing still in an open area would not make sense. It would not make sense either to go to Anne and Dominique for a new Sword.
While I still believe Dominique and Anne might have found a broken used sword, it is the Mystery Man we go to for the new and expensive stuff. Potions not included, but with 3 hours warrenty...
Anne will grow up, learning his trade along with Dominiques set of skills as a salesman and a holy warrior. Do we smell a Paladin Blacksmith here? GremoryWell.. Gebel's side kick. I think she is just one of a two reasons why Gebel will lose it at the end and go totally bonkers. I also think she is responsable for the "eternal knight" over the castle, since she use portals and such. It could also be that she will use the portals to encounter you and get on your nerves until we finish her. Maybe she is a general of the demonic hordes, which would mean she is a boss very late in the game. When it comes to the theories of WE using her portals, that is just insane. But perhaps time and inverted castles are a part of that theory. Thanks for the read, if you indeed did it. If you respond to this, be sure to tag me + use spoilers. If you just answer with a spoiler, people do not think it has anything to do with my post. #youhavebeenwarned |

The Lord of Space once again feels obliged to share his thoughts on this subject. Of course, do note that there will be some theories present (not for every character).(In order of when they were first introduced) Let's start with... MIRIAMBeyond the obvious part of Miriam being the playable main protagonist, and the Japanese voice-actress chosen for her (Ami Koshimizu; still personally gushing about that) seemingly helping to further predict her personality; I'd say that Miriam's role is simply as the most active force, rivaling Zangetsu, in the effort to destroy Gebel's Castle and prevent demon invasion. The impression is that she'll go through with it even if there's a possibility she may perish from the Curse on her body like Gebel.Of course, as someone else here already stated, I do believe multiple endings will indeed be a thing with Miriam. Perhaps with her only. There is a rather silly theory I have for one of those endings, though it may not be canon, but requires you to have cleared the game once & started a New Game+ first... JOHANNES
I still don't think he'll be playable, and I don't think he'll have a greater role than helping Miriam with his knowledge of alchemy. He only has a vague understanding that Miriam's awakening & the appearance of the demonic castle aren't coincidence. I'm going to say that Johannes' other role is the go-to for Crafting special weapons using materials found from all over Gebel's Castle. Because of his chosen Japanese voice-actor (Kazuyuki Okitsu), I'm going to guess his personality is that of the morally-upright bookworm type.Anyone who hasn't looked at the Kickstarter's main Campaign page yet likely doesn't know the detail that Johannes & Gebel were best friends. The finished game likely won't spill this detail until later in the story, but it would certainly be the primary motivation for Johannes aiding Miriam in her trek throughout the Castle. GEBELThe story's main antagonist, and the catalyst for every single other character's interactions inside his Castle grounds. Upon achieving certain conditions, his role might change, and another villainous character might try to take his place, but he is for now the enemy that the Heroes must find a way to stop. The ultimate fate of Gebel may be decided by which character you're currently playing as; after all, there's a certain other character that he had in mind when summoning the castle in the first place ...intending to give her a new home.I don't actually think Gebel will be one of the other playable characters in Story, and thus most-likely to be restricted to Boss Revenge Mode. However, IF he is? There are several possibilities as to who the new enemy might be in his playthrough, ranging from one of the alchemists responsible for his suffering to a total role-reversal of one of the other characters. GREMORIWhile I acknowledge that it's entirely possible she'll only be playable in Boss Revenge Mode, due to already being revealed as a BOSS, I'm actually interested not only in the possibility of playing as a Demon, but simply as a character that fights similarly to Death from the Castlevania series. Her role in the story may amount to being the penultimate Boss faced before reaching Gebel, directly summoned by the latter to defend him.Reading up on the Ars Goetia for what "Duchess" Gremori is capable of, I have a feeling that pre-battle dialogue between her and a certain someone is going to be a last desperate attempt to convince that someone to join Gebel. Even as a Demon, Gremori is not necessarily "evil", and may be seeking to fulfill its summoner's wish. SHOVEL ARMOR
Oh yes, I just did. No-one thought this special enemy/character would be brought up, did they? NOPE, I'm not about to suggest that the Shovel Armor will have an important role in the Story. He'll just break immersion as a humorous cameo from time to time, and at other times just be a [totally] normal enemy.
RAISE THY SHOVEL, MIRIAM! ZANGETSU
Nevermind the likelihood of this guy being one of the other playable characters; a lot of backers seem to WANT him to be playable as well. I say it's likely because his profile went into detail (not too much) about what this character is capable of in combat, as a "Demon Hunter" from the Far East. His role, as stated in the Kickstarter campaign update [#29], is suggested to be that of one who harbors deep hatred for Demons and the Alchemists who summoned them. During the 10-year period of Miriam's absence from events, Zangetsu lost a lot of friends in the fighting.As it is Zangetsu's role to despise all demons and those who summoned them, especially because he lost dear friends, he may start as an enemy of both Miriam & Johannes (in addition to Gebel & likely Alfred when he shows up). DOMINIQUE
The only other character besides Zangetsu to be considered extremely-likely to stand alongside Miriam as one of three playable characters. Her role, as detailed by the Kickstarter update [#51], is that of an exorcist dispatched by the church. It is worth noting that, while the church views both Miriam & Gebel as "demons", Dominique trusts them both to [still] be human. Her other role is that of the Shopkeeper, most likely providing Miriam with the items she needs to stock up in exchange for Gold currency.Dominique's character profile also mentions that she and Johannes are old friends, and that she convinced Johannes to summon Miriam to help them deal with Gebel's Castle. Another plot element that might not be mentioned until later in the story, maybe? ALFREDThis man is one of the members of the Alchemists' Guild responsible for the demon-summoning event that occurred 10 years prior to the main story. He has since lost his former self (though we don't know what exactly that means; maybe he's turned evil OR simply lost his memory), and heads to Gebel's Castle in a single-minded search for an artifact known as the "Book of Logaeth". However, because he is one of the alchemists responsible for summoning demons in the first place, he is a prime target for Zangetsu's hatred. Personally? The more I think about it, the sadder I get about the likelihood that Alfred will NOT be a playable character, though maybe in Boss Revenge Mode (if he turns out evil)?... I initially wanted Alfred to be playable because it's detailed that his alchemic ability was unmatched even among other members of his guild (maybe he could use "Tomes" as his primary weapon, similarly to Charlotte from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin).In the very same Kickstarter update that details backstory for Dominique and another character, it is stated that Alfred was the former mentor of Johannes, and a father-figure to both him and Miriam. I have a theory that his personality could be a weird mix of Julius Belmont & Barlowe from the Castlevania series. ALSO: For whatever reason, there's a weird monochromic rose-crystal design on the front of his robe, AND they don't show his back profile in concept art... what's being hidden from us? ANNEWhile female characters as young as Anne [if not younger] have certainly been playable in past Castlevania games (only one of them, Maria, actually being in Igavanias), I don't see Anne being one of the playable characters. She is detailed as assuming the role of Shopkeeper when Dominique is out of town (the Village we've seen). In spite of the fact that her parents were murdered by demons before Dominique and Miriam came along, she remains bright and cheerful in personality.
The fact that Dominique will leave the Shop at some point, leaving Anne responsible for it, may be the strongest hint we have at Dominique being one of the playable characters. You know, assuming this isn't just some random RNG event, and the switch is relevant to the Story. BLOODLESSYes, yes, I know we're all going to assume that she'll not be playable outside of Boss Revenge Mode (with good reason). While I'm aware that some demon enemies have more original names (IGA is obviously not going to name every single Demon enemy after a "Duke" from the Ars Goetia); When I see Bloodless, I don't think "demon", instead thinking the word "vampire" due to her blood-based abilities. Granted, she DOES provide a Shard upon defeat, but does that unquestionably make her a demon? (Considering that Miriam will be collecting Shards for use as her primary powers.)What interests me is the team's decision to make Bloodless the Boss of an area that appears to be a mockery of a temple dedicated to the god of healing from Irish mythology. (The "Church of Dian Cecht" stage in the 2017 demo) MYSTERIOUS MANAs of yet, none of us know what this character even looks like, though his silhouette may clue us in on a few things. What is of note is that the Japanese voice-actor chosen for him is none other than Ryotaro Okiayu; the original Japanese voice-actor of Alucard, main protagonist of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It is entirely possible that Robert Belgrade (the original English voice-actor of Alucard, and already brought onto this project since the beginning) will also voice this character.Now for some silly music clips that have almost nothing to do with this last character:

Don't forget the mysterious man and Gremory as well. I highly doubt Gremory will play a largely integral role in the game's plot. If it's anything like Death, then the automatic answer is 'No' XD |

I didn't even considered the Mysterious man or Gremory at this thread, i should have done that.  Anyways, quite interesting posts there. That's why i like to rouse discussion here. You all always have many interesting ideas and things to say  |

I think Anne being left in charge of the shop will likely point to Dominique being killed. I do not think that it will be by Miriam or Gebel's hand, but rather some other force in the castle. If sequels or continuations are a possibility, this not the last time we will see Anne. Depending on her role and how much she interacts with the others, she probably has a good chance to appear in future games in the series. Though if she is just a "replacement shopkeep", that make it unlikely. So hopefully she gets memorable lines. Zangetsu is a mini boss that becomes an ally, has to be with that look. Human bosses are always something special.  |

Maybe Dominique is Gremory. The thought did cross my mind that Gremory might be involved in whatever Dominique is up to, good or bad. |
