OOC: Canon-tiem.

Aug 20, 2007 08:16

Both from the recently released goods on the upcoming RE5, and the coming and going of my 2 year Nexus anniversary (July 27th, if any of you are curious) got me to looking at Ramon and the way I play him, revisiting the canon, rereading scenes that defined him as he is now in the Nexus.

And that made me realize that I've never actually shown or posted the in-game texts that I pull a great deal of my characterization from. So just for the heck of it, and for old times' sake, I went and hunted down the transcripts of the two in-game files that shed a bit of light onto Ramon and how he ticks. Without further ado...

The Castellan Memo:
For many years, the Salazar family has served as the castellans of this castle. However, not everything is bright, for my ancestry has a dark past.

Long ago, there once was a religious group that had deep roots in this region called the Los Illuminados. Unjustly, however, the first castellan of the castle took away their rights and powers. As a follower of this religion, and as the 8th Castellan, I felt that it was my duty as well as my responsibility to atone for that sin.

I knew the best way to atone for that sin was to give power back to those who we once took it away from, the Los Illunimados. As expected, it took a little time, but we were able to rejuvenate the once sealed Las Plagas. With this success I was one step closer to the revival of the Los Illuminados.

The reason why I released the Las Plagas from deep under the castle and gave them to Lord Saddler was not only to repay for the sins of my ancestors, but I felt certain that the Lord would make better use of this power to help save the world. To save those that have sinned with the power of the Las Plagas and to cleanse their souls, creating a world without sinners.

The way it was meant to be.

Once cleansed, they would become one of the many Ganados, where they will find their reason to live. And after the Lord has succeeded in creating the world in which he has envisioned, then the sins of my Salazar family will be atoned for.

The Butler's Memo:
Knowing that Sr. Ramon Salazar has no family, Lord Saddler must have used his strong faith in the Los Illuminados to his advantage and to talk Sr. Salazar into undoing the seal of the Las Plagas once done by his ancestor.

Sr. Salazar would never do such a thing unless he was in some way being used unknowingly. I should have sensed the Lord's dirty scheme sooner.

I feel I'm partly responsible for all of this. I have no idea as to what the Lord is planning, but Sr. Salazar was just being used.

It is too late now however; Sr. Salazar has already taken the Plaga into his body. There is no turning back once the Plaga has turned into an adult in the body. The Plaga parasite will not die unless the host dies. There's no cure.

Perhaps, Sr. Salazar may have been vaguely aware of the Lord's plan all along. But it's so hard to tell.

Nevertheless, there's nothing I can do about it now. I have served the Salazar family for generations. I am prepared to continue my services until the very end.
