Castlevania Trilogy FAQ Something confuse you about my finale series? Let me clear it up. Q: Isn't the location supposed to be Romania not Transylvania A:Chalk this up to shifting political climate of the 20th century. But as I recall castlevania was in wallechia a province of transilvania. transilvania once being part of romania. I may be wrong on that but that's the way it flows in the fanfic. Q: I don't think Romanians use British slang like "Bloody" A:That's sort of an inside joke. You'll notice this speech pattern is exclusive to Griffen. If you read the previous parts of the trilogy you'd notice that Javert talked more like an american. It's just a running gag that they have out of place speech patterns. Q: It was a little rushed, don't you think A: mabey a little but not as rushed as the previous parts in the series. I intentionally picked up the pace in some areas as things were beginning to drag. Q: of all the people to kill off WHY ALUCARD!!!! A: wasn't it a just and noble death sacrificing himself to defeat his father? It does fit with his personality. Just because I killed the character doesn't mean I have any dislike for him. But seeing as I was writing this as a climax to the series it was a fitting end and in character for Alucard. Q: Do you know how picky I am about spelling and grammar? A: I have problems with that. It happens with my writing. Since I'm more using fanfiction as practice in the creative process I don't focus as much as most people on spelling and grammar. it helps not to nitpick and ignore problems. too much focus on grammar can destroy the suspension of disbelief. Q: Wait Dracula is supposed to be resurected in xx year of each century not the 92nd A: Due to dracula's off schedule resurections there's no telling which is the proper time for his centenial resurection. Different fans accept different dates. I just used the 92nd. If you think it's a different year then just assume its that year instead. Q: Once bitten or Rouge Bitten? Which one is canon? A: BOTH! Rouge bitten is just a rewrite of Once Bitten. While minor events such as the sequence of battles change the final product is the same. Q: Regarding Dark Reign 1940, isn't that a little early for the prisoners of Austwitz to be freed. A: I'm breaking canon slightly with actual history on this. It isn't the first time it's happened in the castlevania storyline. Q: OK so if Dracula started life 2000 years ago then why hadn't any one heard of him for the first thousand years. A: Dracula first steps into history as Vlad Tepez Dracula in the middle ages. This is the first time he uses the name. Prior to that he existed as a demon who changed bodies often and generally cauzed chaos around the world. Q: Isn't it a bit of a stretch for the catholic church to have nuclear weapons? A: I'm calling Artistic license on that one. Q: SO what's up with Simon's liniage: A: Following Dark Reign the original Carrie Married Ellie. They had a child who later converted to catholicism. That child would have another child who would grow up close to Javert in his old years and the catholic church would train him as a vampire slayer. That child was Simon. Q: Wasn't the Belmont name lost by 1919? A: You're right there. The name its self was lost due to dispersion and intermairage of the familly. Griffen is decended from Javert who was not originally named Belmont. Javert changed his name later in life. Q: Many Castlevania fans consider Bram stoker's dracula to be canon. In that canon dracula was killed for the last time so he can't be alive in 1992. A: First of all yes I do take Stoker's Dracula into account. But only the book not the movie. The movie for the most part was faithful but the ending was changed. In the book it was established that to kill a vampire one must dissable it by piercing the heart with a wooden stake and then decapitate the Vampire. In the book Dracula was stabbed with a bowie knife and turned to dust. The surviving cast assumed Dracula to be dead but but the ending was left open as both the weapon used to pierce his heart was not made of wood and Dracula was never decapitated. In short Dracula was still alive. Q: You ripped off the ending of Resident evil 3. A: No resident Evil 3 ripped off Return of the Living dead. I ripped off Return of the living dead. In fact I haven't even played RE3. But I did have fun nuking the castle. Q: of all the characters to bring back. Why Carrie: A: Carrie's just my favorite. Q: According to fan speculation Carrie and the Fernandez clan were decended from Trevor Belmont and Sypha the sorceres from Castlevania 3. The Belmont genes would explain why she had the power to defeat dracula. But the Fernandez name couldn't be as old as Dracula. A: I hadn't heard about this utnill after I finnished Finale. It's a good idea and It's probably true but Finale doesn't take this into account. As such the Fernandez name could possibly be 2000 years old in the Finale canon. Q: What happened to Death? Is he still alive? A: He was trapped under the Lava. He was kille when the castle got nuked. Without Dracula's power he was not resurected again. Q: Astral plane? WTF is that? A: I pulled it out of my ass really. In this canon the astral bodie is the link between the body and spirit. Q: How was everyone revived after the final fight on the astral plane? A: A miracle cauzed by the release of energy from Dracula's death. Q: So why wasn't Alucard revived too? A: Like Dracula he lost his astral body meaning he had no link to the physical world anymore. Q: If Dracula is the son of satan and Aulcard is the son of Dracula then did Alucard go to Hell too? A; FUCK NO! Okay the official answer to this is that the original Vlad Tepez Dracula did not becoem THE dracula untill after Alucard was born. Dracula however directly made the young Alucard into a Vampire into a vampire to serve him. Didn't go over as he expected. Q: so what about the new carrie's identity? Who is she? A: Since she has the memories of the original Carrie leading up to the time she was placed in stacis she does tend to think of herself as being the original Carrie. Q: WTF is up with Fallenstein? A: Fallenstein was a scientist heavilly involved with Dracula's dealings with Hitler. Q: Will there be any more fics in this series? A: No this was a trillogy. Dracula is very very dead. However I am thinkinking of writing other Castlevania fics. Possibly with Carrie in them. That's the end. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
