Well, My list is as thorough as I care to have it.
I think it's Richter. Because they seem to be going after the popular Belmonts for this game, And Richter's pretty damn popular.

Even less likely to happen, But still relevant as far as female Belmonts go.
Kokoro Belmont from Otomedius Excellent.

Sypha Belnades is apparently Trevor's wife. ...That's actually not so different from the previous canon.
Using Pachi-Slot: Castlevania III version of Sypha because the original game had her pulling a Samus. lol ...Also, I haven't really found any good pics of new Sypha. -_-
...That would also make her Simon's mother. ...Oh Sweet Jesus, Mikey's gonna shit a brick... And then be okay with it later. lol

Edited Topic so that all the info is up top.
Tried to send Blackchaosdragon's post to the LoS2 topic, Only changing his post to make it fit in with the topic (Changing "Nah" to "Cool" and leaving the rest as is.).
Oh well, A moderator can only do so much, After all.

In case you missed the tweets, David Cox sez:
@CornellShadow - Simon uses an leather whip that upgrades to a chain whip later. Alucard uses a whip in MOF and a sword in LOS2. ------------- @Deadestroyer @SirPatStew - There is no narrator in CVLOS2 ------------- @KelvinBelmont74 @CastlevaniaLOS will we hear the LOS version of what is a man? In either of the games? @CastlevaniaLOS @KelvinBelmont74 - Yes -------------- @CornellShadow @CastlevaniaLOS If they all going to use the same kind of weapon. Would the combat moves or motion look alike? @CastlevaniaLOS @CornellShadow - Most animations for each character are different except moves passed over. Each character has moves unique to them too. ---------------
So Alucard won't be using his signature sword until LoS2. Oh and he also said that the chapter listing that was allegedly leaked a few months ago is "totally fake." It actually had me fooled..unless it's real and he's just doing damage control.
Well, That's fan-fucking-tastic. Alucard is a Belmont clone in MoF. ...Which probably means Trevor is Alucard.
Good news, Though. I now have a new reason to play LoS2.

So hyped for March 5th.

Prologue is Gabriel gameplay/tutorial for all of 5 minutes. Then it jumps to Simon and continues coaching you as you learn the more advanced mechanics of Mirror of Fate. (mostly platforming and sub-weapon related.)
This game is goddamn awesome so far. The bosses aren't just hack n' slash fests with QTEs this time around.
Spoiler:
One boss, for instance, will fuck off after a bit and let his floating staff/lamp attack you in a steady zigzag pattern and then come back to attack you some more.
A later one will fire off sonic booms that you either have to jump over or roll under as you shuffle your way to his face.
The story seems intriguing enough that I'm avoiding everything about the game in general until I beat it... Which shouldn't take too long the rate I'm going. I just got to the first cutscene in which Simon & "Mysterious Helper with White Hair and Super Powers" have a bit of a chat.
Helper: "Your father was the greatest warrior of the Brotherhood and even he couldn't defeat Dracula. What makes you think you can?"
Simon: "Did you know my father?"
Helper: *silent retreat*
Spoiler:
So yeah, Trevor fails. Can't wait to see that in the flashback. -_-

Well, That's one Lords of Shadow game beaten and out of the way. Now to wait for LoS2 to play as Dracula.
In the meantime, Hardcore Mode has appeared. And I didn't do too badly during normal, If I do say so myself.
...Oh, Right. The Story...
Spoiler:
I'm just gonna TL;DR this as best I can.
Prologue: Gabriel Belmont Gabriel and Marie fuck. The next morning, Gabriel goes off to slay evil. He gets injured while capturing Daemon Lord with blood and a medievil pokeball.
Marie has Trevor, Who is then taken and hidden from Gabriel by the Brotherhood.
Chapter 1: Simon Belmont (Yeah, It does that timeline jump stuff.) Simon has a nightmare about his mom dying and then goes to the castle.
Simon meets a ghost that helps show him the way to his father's weapon, Trevor's Battle Cross, And then meets a white haired vampire named Alucard, Who saves him like, 2 times or something.
Simon meets Dracula (Gabriel), Alucard enters the room.
Chapter 2: Alucard Alucard wakes up ...in a coffin. He goes to a mirror where the ghost shows him who he is. (The game doesn't show us, It tries to keep it a secret for later.)
He gets set on fire by Mecha-Daemon Lord and is then thrown off the top of the tower into the water below... And lives.
He then gets mist powers, bat powers, wolf powers, etc., etc.
He kills the asshole who tried to kill him earlier.
He then meets up with Simon in Dracula's throne room where the two of them take him on. Alucard ends up holding him down while Simon stakes him dead.
Chapter 3: Trevor Belmont
Trevor is told the truth, He then leaves his wife and son to kill Dracula's ass.
He gets to the castle and meets the ghost, Who tells him he will fail. Trevor breaks his mouth and ignores his ominous prophecy.
He later meets Daemon Lord, Who is freed from his PokeVania Ball by witches. Trevor rides him around the castle and fucks him up by insta-sawing him in half with the Battle Cross.
He meets Dracula and has a drama about avenging his mother, Saying he'll tell him her name after he cuts it into his heart.
Trevor and Dracula end up having a "falling from 500 fucking stories" battle in the air and Trevor loses. Afterwards, He tells Dracula everything and the mirror of fate in the room confirms it.
Dracula feeds Trevor his blood to keep him alive, And then puts him into a coffin with the name "Alucard" on it.
*credits*
Extra (You have to get all the Beastiary & Dead Brotherhood Notes to get this ONE LAST CINEMATIC.)
Alucard picks up the Battle Cross that killed him (Correction Edit: Turns out to be the stake that Gabriel used to kill Carmilla.) and then turns into a bat and flies away while the castle crumbles around him.
Meanwhile, Simon stands far away and watches as the castle falls into absolute fucking ruin and watches a lone bat fly away from the scene.
Welp, I'm off then. Later.

Gee, Thanks, MercurySteam. It's so nice to have all my health, mana, ammo, & combo upgrades carry over to the supposed hardest difficulty you've put together. ...Although, To be fair, Even the zombies kill me in like, 3 or 4 hits. But still...

And nothing of value was unlocked... Actually, Nothing was unlocked. Hardcore Mode is literally just a new difficulty to try out for shits n' giggles. You keep all your Beastiary/Dead Brotherhood Notes & All of you health, mana, ammo, level upgrades. You do have to reacquire your sub-weapons and other shit that you get through story progression. But that's about all in the way of dumbing you down for the new playthrough.
I guess you could delete your current save or start a new one on the only other save slot available, But eeeehhhh... Then again, Having beaten the 1st LoS recently, That game also had you keep all your shit, Mostly because the end of the game wasn't really the end of the game. You can still go back and replay the levels you've unlock for bonus missions and shit.
But yeah, On to the next (and final, apparently) Lords of Shadow game... Whenever that comes out.
