Sylvain - inspiration meme

He's an OC I've had since 9th grade and one of my favorites. There might come a day when I'll actually explain in full detail his personality, likes/dislikes, etc. but I'd like for people to be really impressed by Sylvain when they first read about him.

1.) Magnus (Castlevania: Nocturne of Recollection)
If Magnus weren't around, Sylvain wouldn't have existed. Basically, he's the reason why I created the idea of Sylvain in the first place. I started wondering if Magnus had some sort of background story and then decided I should make an incubus OC like him just to sort of fill the void. They both enjoy manipulating people.

2.) Walter Bernhard (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)
Like him, Sylvain is charismatic but also arrogant. They also present themselves as a powerful authority in their field - Walter is an exremely powerful vampire while Sylvain is a CEO in a banking company.

3.) Charon
Musical inspiration. More slow-paced and romantic to show the more "romantic" side of him (if he did have one).

4.) Peter Steele (Type O Negative)
Portrayed as a sexual icon, not to mention DAT VOICE. If I ever needed a voice actor for Sylvain, it'd be him. But Pete's dead now...

5.) Asami Ryuichi (Viewfinder)
When I read the manga, I was a bit taken back by how cruel, sadistic and perverted Asami could be. It helped me realize that Sylvain should show more of those traits.

6.) Vincent Valentine (as a Turk in FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus)
Inspiration mostly for how Sylvain was and looked when he was human. He like Vincent was quite introverted, unlike the sexy depraved beast he is now.

7.) Maria (Silent Hill 2)
Sluttiness. Enough said. :I
lol but on a more serious note. At first, Maria can seem like a whore with no sense of morality but if you play her side story in SH2, you'll find that she does have a human side too. It's that sort of thing I want to portray in Sylvain. Beneath his sadism and extreme lack of regard for other people's feelings, he can actually have some good in him.
And I suppose her color scheme influenced Sylvain's style of clothing too.

8.) Poisonblack - Lust Stained Despair
Just re-discovered this band and holy fuck, I can't find a more perfect album to describe Sylvain. All the lust, lies, and pain...

All these influences and he ends up looking like a clone of Ludwig from Meine Liebe
lol don't believe me? [link]
