Castlevania RPG

Castlevania RPG is a Sprite Comic written by Mike Finkelstein. A story somewhat paralleling Castlevania circa-Circle of the Moon, but mostly the cast just gets into random hijinks. They include:

• Darkmoon: An ensouled vampire with an insatiable lust for money and barmaids.
• Alec: An extremely androgynous Holy Warrior with a penchant for jerky.
• Katrina: Mage-turned-Catgirl via a curse.
• Princess: The comic's requisite princess--who happens to have lesbian tendencies.
• Angel: An Archangel sent by God to aid the heroes on their quest.

Can be found here.

Tropes used in Castlevania RPG include:

• Above the Ruins (that floating techno-dungeon thing that lasted all of four strips.)
• Absurdly Spacious Sewer
• Bad Future: The 1000th comic special shows what could have happened if Darkmoon had not used time travel hijinks to stop Evil!Alec from summoning the Elder God. Essentially, Alec and Princess are dead, Darkmoon himself is MIA, Angel has been possessed by the Elder God and now leads its forces, and Katrina is leading the remnants of humanity in a Hopeless War against them.
  • Alec gets trapped in another one where Dracula actually managed to succeed in taking over the world, killed the rest of the party except for Golem, and is actually competent.
• Big Bad: Dracula
• Black and Gray Morality
• Character Development: Darkmoon going from a lecherous Jerkass to a semi-heroic Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Katrina going from a short tempered bitch and Squishy Wizard to an experienced mage and fighter and main voice of reason for the party, Alec going from a ditzy, somewhat Stupid Good man to a smart, confident and pragmatic hero, and others.
