Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Soma Cruz is a "high school exchange student from Japan". High school, which means this guy is on his teenage age, a normal guy with normal heights. He was 'exchanged' in Japan so he can become more abrupt to studies. Currently, he was living near the Hakuba Shrine, that would be on a supposedly mark for ancient mythology. He knows an inheritant, which happens to be a friend. Her name is Mina Hakuba. Her probably being the only friend since he's arrived to Japan, they decided to go towards the next event of Japan history... the first sonar eclipse to hit in the 21st century. They decided to take the view of the eclipse from the Hakuba Shrine... however going up was more of an experience than ever... as he entered... his senses went dim. The eclipse has the color of a black sun, bring it's other half of it's true self off of it's slumber.... or Castlevania. Waking up after his long time of unconsciousness, he awakes to find Mina taking care of him, but then, a stranger in their scene for questions. His name is Genya Arikado. As Soma questions him, they are attacked! In quick action, Arikado gives almighty power against the loose demons. Soma then protecting Mina, encounters his discovery that he can use souls of the demons in advantage. Genya then informs him of the soul abilities, and what he must do. Soma then, wanting to go back home, must go to the Master's chamber to understand all of what he must and will... with great confidence to victor the journey, he begins his quest.

Mina Hakuba is a Japanese teenager, daughter of a Hakuba inheritant who owns the famous Hakuba Shrine. Living in wealth is what would give her such a look on the outside. She's vulnerable, but takes great role into AoS. During the time, she has known Soma ever since his stop into Japan. In related terms, also knowing Genya Arikado for a long time, too, since apparently he's been interested in the sorts of her father's land. Also, from the looks of it, she may have quite a liking for Genya, but maybe for Soma, too.

Genya Arikado stands at first as a character of full enigma and coldness. In other words, very mysterious. In the meeting between him and Soma, his astonishing power practically killed all the enemies around him in mere seconds. Supposedly, he was representing the national intelligence, to be some sort of spy making him sort of quiet & tough. But, like said, knowing him by then, he's a "pretty decent guy". He may not be known alot at first, but his remarkability really suits on the help to the featured Castlevania characters. Giving Soma to what he must do, he places only but one place where enemies cannot enter, as he explores himself to navigate the castle walls. Fortunately for you, Yoko Belnades confesses who he really is. But, the question is... why is he back?

Graham Jones is first known as a friendly, mysterious character who is supposed to be posed as a mercenary. He is full of the information based on the history and purpose of Castlevania, helping Soma with it. Although he may have seemed like a nice guy, Yoko was then warning Soma that he is not of what he may look like or turn to. Apparently, she says that he's going to inherit the powers of Count Dracula, who is supposed to come back in the year 2035. But, you find that one out ...

Yoko Belnades, descendant of the family Belnades, blood relations with Sypha, she tries to search for information around the castle and warns Soma about Graham, that there's something he's up to and untrustworthy. Later on, trying to continue her bloodlines as vampire hunter and in attempt to defend, she gets injured later on, but survives the attack still trying to help Soma Cruz in what is found in him later on.


	Hammer is an ex-military soldier that was assigned on the mission to investigate the floating Castlevania. However, he quit the mission while he was there, deciding the finish his life with the military. After Soma defeated the Big Golem, he encountered Hammer in which he described his scenario and decides to sell his items to Soma until the end.

The current Belmont within the 21st century. Julius' story started when he and other vampire hunters assimilated Dracula in the year 1999. Then, in 2035, that following day with the others of the eclipse, he vanished and woke up in the castle not remembering a thing about himself, his past, or why he was in the castle. Roaming around the castle, he met Soma, only remembering his name started with a J, calling himself so. Then, it's when he remembers he is searching for the Belmont whip and has to kill Dracula, who is none other than ... Soma Cruz. (Bastard, you highlighted!!)
