I was joking but can't speak for the other two ... We can only hope they are. Pet option is still a good idea for the third character. You make it sound like loli characters are an overused thing in Castlevania when the only one ever used was Maria. You know you want it, a powerful vampire.   |

Maybe shovelknight as the third character. We all know he will be in the game, so making him playable beating enemies with the shovel would be hilarious. Although I'm all for crossover tidbits in the game, I don't want one of our 3 playable characters to be fanservice from another game. Especially one that Iga was not involved with. If I want to play as Shovel Knight I will go play Shovel Knight. Then there's the likelihood that the new "Shovel Armor" unveiled some time ago will be an enemy (or Boss, possibly) faced in the game. |

You know you want it, a powerful vampire. There's also Carrie Fernandez from the N64 Castlevania games.  Image may be a bit too big.  *(EDIT):* Also...please do excuse the evident double-post. |

If they make Shovel Knight playable, it will probably be as an armor equipment. Like SOTN's Axe Armor, remember that? You don't need to waste a character slot on an outside character like that. There's also Carrie Fernandez from the N64 Castlevania games. Image may be a bit too big. Oh, I never played the N64 Castlevania games, good find. |

You know you want it, a powerful vampire. Holy crap! I would "kill" for a Rachel Alucard sides scroller with her condescending voice.  Do you play BlazBlue? Oh, and what's a "loli"? |

She doesn't have to be young when it comes to age, it's just the appearance that matters. That girl in the second picture is like several centuries old, but is still a loli. I don't play Blazblue often, I only have Continuum Shift for the PS3. |

You know you want it, a powerful vampire. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope. This is not Castlevania people, this is an entire new setting. We don't have Dracula, and we have the demon crystal cursed instead of vampires. Putting a vampire in is just going to derail from the new setting IGA is making. How do you even explain vampires here without taking the spotlight away from Miriam and Gebel? I'd rather have no vampire playable characters, IGA is making something new and I think it's much better if they focus on that. Maybe we might have some vampire enemies, since the castle is summoning all kinds of demons, but a playable vampire doesn't fit. A small girl might be okay, but I don't think they can explain her being immortal in this setting. Alchemists are all dead but Johannes, scientists are too new and I don't think they can do that, and the crystal curse ritual only happened a few years ago, |

It still takes place in relatively the same timeframe as SOTN, which is around the 1700s. Yes, there won't be Dracula, but that doesn't exclude vampires from the mix. |

I voted middle aged man.
I specifically would want a half crazed older man, but not a veteran. Basically I love those characters who act so insane that you can't tell even with careful observation whether or not that they're good or evil, although he would of course be a good guy. I like having those characters that you just have to trust, even when their motives seem impure.
That's a kind of character that I want.

True, but I think they may want to avoid vampires as much as possible, if only to avoid trouble from Konami. v-v

Bats and vampires are in plenty of other games. Putting them in Bloodstained would just be flummadiddle.

I'm saying that it'd be foolish to exclude stuff that are iconic in Igavania games just because they are in plenty of other games. |

They would be fine as enemies. As a third character, the vampire's presence would need to be justified (unless it's an optional character that has nothing to do with the main story.)
I'm thinking of something along the lines of "This castle looks pretty good to establish my new base. Alright, I'll kill whoever sits on top and take the throne for myself!", then (s)he has a somewhat similar objective as Miriam so (s)he decides to help her in getting to Gebel. In the vampire's ending, you take the throne only to be stopped by Miriam. Well, that's what I came up in a minute as a story, details can always be worked on. Anything can happen!

Oh, I seem to have misread something.
"Of course I’m focused on the game scenario myself, and while I know we’ve gone over the three main characters, I'm beginning to think about adding three more to deepen the story. (Still only three playable, of course.)"
I first thought there would somehow be six playable characters, haha. Well, in that case, I don't think a vampire character will actually make it in as the third character. Though it'd be nice if he/she ends up as one of the three extra characters.
