Though he looks like a sissy, wielding a rapier, he is anything but. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A) Character Profile ----------------------------------------------------------------- Age: 32 Birthplace: French Empire/Rouen Height: 5'10" Weight: 159 Birth Date: November 27 Blood Type: A Weapon: English Sword Rapier Weapon Name: Flambert Discipline: La Rapiere des Sorel Family: Foster daughter - Amy Relatives - cut all ties In his quest for Soul Edge, Raphael faced off against Nightmare in the land of Ostrheinsburg, but lost the fight. Before losing consciousness, Raphael unleashed one last desperate strike, which pierced the center of Soul Edge. He should have been dead. Yet, for some reason, the Azure Knight had left without delivering the final blow. He recieved treatment back at his mansion, but soon realized that he had been infected by the evil sword's energy. Although he still had his sanity, he was clearly no longer human. Amy also became infected while treating his injuries. Raphael escaped with Amy to a distant land in eastern Europe, where they took shelter in a castle ruin that stood in the mountains. Amy had been transformed into a being that could not interact with the normal world. Raphael decided that he would change the world for her. His plan, woven from threads of madness, proceeded slowly but surely, infecting nearby lands with evil energy. But one day, an incident occurred in which some people who had been transformed to evil returned to normal by the power of a "Holy Stone." Threatened by this object, Raphael decided to go on a journey to discover the true nature of the "Holy Stone" and obliterate it from this world. Just as he made his decision, an army appeared at the base of the castle. They had noticed the abnormality of the area and come to attack its source. He would need to drive off these fools, first. "Amy, I won't be back for a while. Be a good girl while I'm gone." Raphael bid farewell to his beloved Amy and descended below to the world that refused to accept them. The expression on the face of the reticent girl who watched him leave said nothing of what lay hidden in her heart. ----------------------------------------------------------------- B) Weapons ----------------------------------------------------------------- Flambert (1P) - Nothing Flambert (2P) - Nothing Epee - (1) Increase defense (2) Auto Guard Impact Holy Antler - (1) +20% attack power (2) Recover health by attacking Estoc - (1) Penetrate opponent's guard (2) Auto Guard Break Queen's Guard - (1) Increase defense (2) Health constantly recovers (3) Recover health by dealing damage (4) Recover health by guarding Cane - (1) Special Sound effects (2) Lose health by blocking The Ancient - Nothing Unlock Epee, Holy Antler, and Estoc by reaching Lost Cathedral in Tales of Souls Unlock Queen's Guard by beating Abyss in Tales of Souls after collecting the last three weapons.

Below is a gathering of high damage or workable combos Raphael can offer. Some may be a bit spicy to pull off, but "timing is key"... right.

(when you e-mail me, let me know if you wanna be added to the list or kept secret) The people from Namco and the other companies who made the game --------------------------------------------------------------------- BBB) Frequently Asked Questions --------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: If Raphael is French, then how does he know English fighting styles? A: Because he's cool. Q: Doesn't it seem like Rapheal's and Amy's relations are a little more than foster father and daughter? A: ...Sure... or maybe he just really truly does care for her. Q: How did Talim become his rival? Wasn't it Nightmare and Siegfried? A: I would of thought so, but apparently not.
