new job - vampire

I mean in an aspect the title is what the title is but it's not the intention of the thread .... /cry lol. I guess because I'm interested in the idea I was hoping people wouldn't fix on the title but rather read the "article" per say. I'm sure people are used to that on reddit and stuff lol, "actor dies" meanwhile the article is "actor dies in their movie as X character" and its just like .. great now the comments are all over XD.

It's not off topic since it literally is part of the topic but it was obviously not meant to be a key part of it, so no one is doing something they're not supposed to but not what was intended by the thread either - which is unfortunate. :3. Also I'm no god of staying on topic either, so definitely take my protest with a mountain of salt <3.

As far as Vincent goes, in addition to the lust pomanders, there are many mechanics that have us take on other forms such as gorillas, imps, and frogs so it is something I think the devs could accomplish. The Spawn like cape Vincent possesses is also interesting because iirc, his cape is sentient and could have a lore of its very own much like a SCH's faerie.

You felt that too? That's cool .. What do you think if the cape was the weapon for this job? Since you know Spawn it might be easier to imagine that than someone who's only reference is Doctor Strange (tried to reference Spawn too). Like Spawn, in part like Bayonetta, it could be really interesting "weapon" concept that I don't think you'd see as an item to equip very often in a game (especially as an MMO).

Also would ensure the brooding look of the job I think lol and an opportunity to make some wild looking relic weapon. The animations would need to be able to be designed well though, but once done I think it would work (attack animations/ability animations outside of transformations would be beyond just a simple sword swing). It could also be a key part in the animation shift into void monster like things or gameplay mechanics (auto defending cloak/growth mechanics, etc), helping animate the shift (covering parts up so it looks good from human to not).

Is Vincent's cloak actually sentient though? I don't remember reading about that, that'd be cool to know. I feel void / eldritch magic with a sentient cloak would work well together as well, and with the cloak could give the job high mobility - at least I imagine a Vincent inspired job to be very mobile.

A number of your vampire abilities could be used on Vincent but I think that's because he's "vampire-lite" basically lol, he's not a vampire clearly but it isn't wrong to say he's inspired by many of the ideas.
