Description
Soma Cruz
"If I fail... Please kill me."
—Soma to Julius Belmont, in Aria of Sorrow
Japanese name 来須 蒼真 (Kurusu Sōma)
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Role High school student
The good reincarnation of Count Dracula
Date of birth 2017
Age 18 in Aria of Sorrow
19 in Dawn of Sorrow
20 in Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku novel
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Soma Cruz, is the protagonist from the games Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. He also appears in the cross-over game Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
For Soma's official background, see Soma Cruz/Background.
Soma has a wide range of powers and abilities called 'souls' which are categorized as offensive, defensive, or tactical. He acquires these abilities through his "power of dominance" -- the power to control and summon the souls of defeated monsters. This is a derivation of Dracula's primary power, the ability to command monsters.
Soma fights with a variety of weapons, including swords, spears, and axes. Many of his weapons are references to mythology and folklore, such as the Valmanway, Ronginus, Excalibur, or Claimh Solais (even Death's Scythe). The whip sword is a reference to the Castlevania series' tradition of whips as primary weapons, but is the only weapon in Aria of Sorrow that resembles a whip. Soma can also use handguns, an RPG, and a Positron Rifle, in an interesting (and futuristic) departure from other games in the Castlevania series.
His first name, "Soma" means the entire body, referencing how he has the power of dominance. His last name is somewhat of a pun, Cruz is the Spanish and Portuguese word for Cross, which is commonly used against Vampires in fiction.
His Japanese name is Kurusu Souma (来須蒼真); Souma is his given name. The kanji that compose his name mean, in order, 'come/next' (kuru), 'by all means' (su), 'pale' (sou), 'truth/reality' (ma). Taken together, the name hints that he is the true inheritor of Dracula's power, and will definitely receive them. The kanji for 'pale', interestingly, is also used as a euphemism for being inexperienced or unripe. Soma has not yet reached his full potential
