Simon Belmont[]
Redshock: Born in the 16th century, 23-year old Simon Belmont often compared himself to the legendary heroes and warriors that came before him; as a member of a long-standing clan of vampire hunters the Belmont Family.
Mortician: By training night and day for two decades to fulfill his family’s sole purpose: slaying the vampire lord, Dracula.
Redshock: After Dracula harnessed the powers of darkness to amass an army made from creatures of the night to rebel against God as revenge for what he perceived to be God’s cruel and unjust actions his former ally Leon Belmont swore that he and his descendants would stand up to Dracula’s rule and one day end his accursed existence.
Mortician: For many centuries the Belmonts and Dracula would be at war with each other and whenever a Belmont was ready to face the prince of darkness they are armed with Leon’s trademark weapon, a whip known as the Vampire Killer.
Redshock: Besides being a kinky weapon with the name of a Heavy Metal band, Vampire Killer was created by Rinaldo Gandolfi when it was originally called The Whip of Alchemy its purpose was used to destroy creatures of the night as it’s a Holy Weapon.
Mortician: With it it became Simon’s main weapon of choice capable of nullifying or reflecting Magic and projectiles with its touch alone. It can also change its appearance, becoming stronger as it changes from standard leather, thorns, chains, and a Morningstar.
Redshock: And after being absorbed by Sara Trantoul’s soul it unlocked its true potential capable of other magical properties like shooting Fireballs, Ice, and Lightning.
Mortician: As a Vampire Hunter of the Belmont Clan, Simon will often carry various secondary weapons to battle with him like his Silver and Gold Daggers for stabbing or throwing along with other throwing weapons like his Axe, Javelin, and a boomerang Holy Cross.
Redshock: Simon is also armed with Holy Water which can kill demons and creatures of the night, a Magical Bible which in use will spiral around its caster, protecting him from harm. A Stopwatch which will briefly stop time when opened. And a Mystical Flame called the Sacred Flame which is cast towards demonic foes, and upon contact ignites provoking great damage while simultaneously weakening their powers.
Mortician: To protect himself, Simon wears his usual garb inherited by other Belmonts like his Bandana making him resistant to Curses and Poisons. His Breastplate bestows resistance to Blunt, Slashing and Piercing attacks, as well as resistance to Petrification, Curses, and Poisons.
Redshock: His Cloak is resistant to Fire, Ice, and Lightning. Even his Sandals are magical which increases Holy and Dark Magic. Those are some killer crocs!
Mortician: To increase his firepower Simon had possessed the Five Relics of Dracula capable of increasing all of Simon’s physical and mental abilities.
Redshock: With Nail of Vlad Simon is strong enough to instant-destroy walls with a single hit from his leather whip. Dracula’s Rib grants Simon a shield where he can block projectile attacks.
Mortician: The Eye of Vlad allows Simon to see the locations of hints hidden in walls. Ring of Vlad increases Simon’s intelligence. And the Heart of Vlad protects Simon from Curses.
Redshock: Simon proved himself he’s more than your average bloodsucking Bounty Hunter, he is strong enough to fight both Dracula and Death itself who is strong enough to to erase all the Castlevania timelines.
Mortician: Simon became a well known Belmont among his Family but somehow is still mortal and can be injured or even killed like a human.
Redshock: And somehow a badass Vampire Hunter can’t swim, I don’t know what to say about that I just find it odd that an amazing Vampire Hunter who killed Drăcula 3 times can’t doggy paddle?!
Mortician: Even long after his passing, his memory as one of the greatest vampire hunters to ever wield the holy whip has remained strong, as tales recounting his greatness were soon passed onto future generations of aspiring heroes
Simon: "He who wields this whip, is not easily defeated."
Sir Arthur[]
Redshock: The realm of Makai has played host to multiple wretched demon lords and their various armies of darkness who have had their sights set on the conquest of the human world for centuries
Mortician: And one specific Devil Astaroth sought to rule humanity by targeting the last mortal with royal blood Princess Prin Prin.
Redshock: Prin Prin? What is she a 9 year old girl's Guinea pig?
Mortician: And what’s Redshock a 13 year old boy’s gamertag?
Redshock: Touché, Astaroth had assumed that mixing her blood with that of a demon’s would allow Makai to finally invade the Earth, Astaroth sent his minion Satan to kidnap Prin Prin and enact the ritual to fulfill the nightmare they have long sought
Mortician: But like all princesses she too had a loyal friend to save her, her beloved a literal knight in shining armor by the name of Sir Arthur.
Redshock: Donning his steel knight’s armor and arming himself with his trusted lance and other tools of the trade for defending himself Arthur ventured forth into the Demon Realm Village to save Princess Prin Prin and vanquish the monsters that would dare endanger and the rest of mankind
Mortician: Being a Knight, Arthur is well versed and skilled with medieval weaponry like his iconic Lance which he can throw with pinpoint accuracy and can throw up to two at a time.
Redshock: And like many knights he carries a Sword, but also a Cross Shield that is capable of destroying enemies and their projectiles in short ranges.
Mortician: He also carries Daggers for further distances and can throw three at a time, with his Crossbow, Arthur can shoot 2 arrows at once.
Redshock: For high damage, Arthur can use his Axe for quick high damaging short range attacks.
Mortician: Arthur doesn’t have one Armor he actually has several, his standard Steel Armor, Bronze Armor, Warrior Armor, Angelic Armor, Dark Armor, Cursed Armor, and his strongest set the Golden Armor all of them having specific abilities and power.
Redshock: Like his Bronze Armor, Arthur is able to use upgraded versions of most of the very weapons he uses, making them stronger than before. Or his Angelic Armor that grants Arthur the ability to take flight with blue wings.
Mortician: But his strongest armor is his Golden Armor which allows Arthur to cast magical spells like Thunder Magic he can use to create three lightning bolts fired and pierce through solid objects and enemies.
Redshock: But wait he can also use Fire Dragon Magic to summon a dragon of flames. Lightning Magic to release a series of energy beams. Tornado Magic to create two Tornadoes. Shield Magic creates three energy orbs that will temporarily surround Sir Arthur to protect him and deal damage against whoever touches them. And Seek Magic to reveal all treasure chests near his position.
Mortician: With his Golden Armor, Arthur can use other equipment like his Sun Shield he can use to block 3 hits before shattering and the Psycho Cannon for projecting a huge blast of mid-range holy magic.
Redshock: Arthur also has his own magic items, with his Goddess' Bracelet can be used to create a med range blast of holy magic. Jumping Boots for Double Jumping, and Knight’s Soul allowing him to take half the normal damage he would be given. The Swallow Blade that homes into Arthur’s enemies. And even Bombs that explode on-contact if they hit a target, If they miss, they will roll along the ground before exploding.
Mortician: Arthur can also use magic too, often using the Elements like Fire, Lightning, and Air Magic. With his Pyrokinesis, Arthur can shoot flames in a variety of ways, With the Dagger and stronger armors equipped, Arthur can summon a blue, fiery dragon that circles around obliterating foes.
Redshock: With his Electrokinesis he can manipulate electricity in many ways while equipped with certain weapons and armor. With the Axe and stronger armors equipped, Arthur can fire beams of lightning in several directions at once, With the Lance he can fire lightning bolts in three directions and with the Sword Arthur can create a thunder dragon to stop airborne enemies.
Mortician: With Aerokinesis, Arthur can manipulate the air to create powerful attacks, With the Scythe and stronger armors equipped, he can generate two tornadoes that go across the whole screen destroying pretty much everything in its path.
Redshock: He can also Astral Project himself to aid him in battle, create a Mirror-like shield, and can resurrect himself with a magic spell before dying.
Mortician: When it comes to weaknesses, while Arthur only being able to take two hits until he dies is just a game mechanic, powerful enough attacks can still shatter Arthur’s armor leaving him in nothing but his underwear and his pool of magic is limited.
Redshock: Wait, so where the hell does he keep all his weapons?
Mortician: I don’t want to know. But Sir Arthur’s appearance tells the tale of a brave and battle-tested warrior whose drive to deliver justice and honor his Princess has never wavered, no matter the foe or challenge.
Arthur: "Send forth the hordes! Sir Arthur will slay them!".
Death Battle[]
Prologue[]
Simon Belmont is walking towards Castlevania, preparing to fight his enemy, Count Dracula. However, as he approaches the menacing castle, he comes across a short knight in shining armor standing in front of the door. Simon says “You, it’s not safe here. Leave before you get hurt”. The Knight turns around and reveals themselves to be Sir Arthur, he says “Me, go home? I can’t do that, I have to annihilate the fiendish monster in that castle!”. Simon replies “Who exactly are you?”
Arthur stood ironically tall and said “Who am I?! I am the knight in shining armor, Sir Arthur, and I’m the one who will defeat Dracula!”. Simon said while walking towards the Castlevania doors "Look, it’s not safe to be out he…”. His hand almost touched Arthur’s helmet he swatted his hand and said as he reached for his Lance “do not touch me foul barbarian, the monster is mine, if you dare interfere, I won’t hesitate to strike you down”.
Simon grinned and reached for his whip “so be it”.
FIGHT![]
Arthur throws his Lance at Simon but is reflected back by the Vampire Killer and Simon whips the whip again at Arthur but he dodges it. Simon then rushes into Arthur with Arthur having another Lance ready and tries to swing his Lance at Belmont, he blocks it with his Axe and swings down on Arthur which he brings out his Shield/Cross blocking his attack.
Arthur then jumps back as Simon takes out his Cross and hurls it at Arthur hitting him in the head knocking him back. Simon throws his Axe at the stunned knight but he quickly dodges it as it hits the brick wall behind him. Arthur pulls out his crossbow and fires two arrows at Simon, throwing a Torch after the bolts. Simon blocked the bolts with his Dagger but the Torch lit him up, and Arthur brought out his sword and rushed at Simon.
Arthur swung his sword at Simon, cutting him a couple times, but his third strike was blocked by Simon’s Sword. The two clash for a few seconds, but Simon jumps in the air and throws 3 Daggers. Arthur dodged the Daggers but was soon hit with a Sacred Flame lighting him on fire retailing Arthur’s previous fire attack. Simon then throws two more axes, shattering Arthur’s Steel Armor leaving him naked.
Then Simon finished Arthur by slicing his head off his shoulders with his Sword, thinking he won, but a white glow appeared and Arthur came back from the dead wearing his Golden Armor ready for Round 2. Simon charged at Arthur and they both swung their weapons at each other clashing between Simon’s Sword and Arthur’s Lance. Simon managed to knock the Lance out of Arthur’s hands but Arthur quickly used the Goddess' Bracelet and fired a blast of energy at Simon knocking him back.
Simon stood up and threw a Cross stunning Arthur allowing Simon to reuses his whip and whacks at Arthur several times, but his Armor was still intact. Arthur then fired a bolt of electricity, but Simon dodged it and threw 4 more Daggers, but the Armor was too much. Arthur then creates a clone of himself and struck Simon with their Lances now aflame. Simon was struggling, Arthur stood in front of Simon who was down on one knee Arthur said “You are no match for a Knight” as he readied his Lance to strike Simon in the head. Simon had activated his Timewatch and froze time. Simon used his remaining strength in hitting Arthur with all of his energy by using his Axes, Sword, Daggers, and his Whip.
In a few seconds time returned and the Golden Armor shattered, “What?! How?!” Arthur said in shock. “Cause you're no match for a Belmont”. And Simon’s whip turned into a Morningstar and the spike ball tip had crushed Arthur’s head and lit his body on fire where Arthur had fallen on the ground near his broken armor killed by the famous Simon Belmont. Simon walks up the Castlevania door as it opens and closes as Simon walks in ready for his challenger.
KO!
Results[]
Redshock: Looks like Simon slayed the competition.
Mortician: Arthur may have been more experienced and his Arsenal was slightly bigger but Simon’s absurd power and arsenal was just be too much for him to overcome
Redshock: Simon had taken down Dracula, the Dracula, who can survive massive meteor falling on him calculated to be 2 megatons of TNT and he did it 3 times!. Something Arthur has survived closest too.
Mortician: Simon was also physically stronger and faster, and his Arsenal may have been smaller than Arthur's; there was nothing he could do against his Timewatch.
