[Castlevania] GUYS HELP ME DECIDE A CANONPOINT FOR TREVOR
Gabiluzbad
pre canon
Gabiluzbad
Pros:
Gabiluzbad
- Less miserable about missing his friends
Gabiluzbad
- More of a human disaster
Gabiluzbad
Cons:
Gabiluzbad
- Doesn't have the morning star whip
Gabiluzbad
- A misanthropic shithead who will have trouble getting CR
Gabiluzbad
Post canon
Gabiluzbad
Pros:
Gabiluzbad
- Less miserable and more willing to actually try to deal with people rather than just insulting them
Gabiluzbad
- Has a cool whip
Gabiluzbad
- Canonmates are more likely to be post canon, should they appear
Gabiluzbad
Cons:
Gabiluzbad
- My other characters both more or less have their shit together and it would maybe feel kinda samey to have Trevor in a more or less functional state
Gabiluzbad
- If you're not playing Trevor as a disaster what is the fucking point?
Echo
Counterpoint: I would argue that post-canon Trevor isn't not a disaster, he's just a different type of disaster.
Echo
i.e., more consistently sober and willing to admit he actually wants to help people, but still very inclined to make stupid decisions.
Gabiluzbad
A marginally smaller tire fire
Gabiluzbad
Someone poured some water on it so it's still a huge smoking mess but the flames aren't raging out of control
Gabiluzbad
Also on reflection
Gabiluzbad
I think that if you took precanon Trevor, who has no friends, and apped him to a game, he'd actually do better
Gabiluzbad
Then post canon Trevor
Echo
Pre-canon Trevor is just like 'this is weird shit, let's get drunk and hope it goes away'.
Gabiluzbad
After finally opening up to someone a little bit, suddenly getting them yanked away would probably cause him to relapse pretty hard
Gabiluzbad
So
Gabiluzbad
Definitely post canon
Echo
Post-canon Trevor is like 'what the fuck, are my supernatural dumbasses okay???'
Gabiluzbad
Yeah
Gabiluzbad
When pre canon Trev gets drunk it's just par for the course
Gabiluzbad
when post canon Trev gets drunk, it's tragic
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
I'm late but there's also always mid canon
kamikasei
Definitely post over pre, but yoinking him from shortly before the climax so you have most of the character development but he's also, you know, anxious, might work
