History Characters / CodeVeinSuccessors

* BookEnds: The first Successor the party encountered was the Successor of the Ribcage, which looks like a wolf merged into the body of a woman. The Skull King is a werewolf-like creature.

The mutated form of [[spoiler:Gregorio Silva]], and the source of the Red Mist separating Vein from the rest of the world. Juzo Mido forcibly introduces more Relics into the Successor's body so as to render him too insane to maintain the Gaol, and under the Queen's corruption [[spoiler: Gregorio]] is reduced to a bloodthirsty beast. [[spoiler: In all endings except for "Heirs", the lupine Lost summons the remaining unclaimed Relics throughout the land and absorbs them all in a last-ditch effort to preserve itself, transforming even further into a nearly-complete Queen.]]

* BookEnds: The first Successor (Successor of the Ribcage) the Revenants fought is canine-like, the Skull King as the final boss is also canine-like.

* FinalBoss: Of the game.

* LightningBruiser: He moves at incredible speed and can easily destroy an unprepared player with his brutal attacks.
* NoSell: Both the Skull King and Virgin Born are immune to {{Standard Status Effect}}s and highly resist elemental damages. The Skull King is still vulnerable to Fire, Cold, and Lightning, but the Virgin Born resists all, even Blood.

%%* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent:
* TrueFinalBoss: Kind of, and only applies to the Virgin Born. If going for an "Heirs" run, the game ends after the player has defeated the Skull King. In order to progress to and fight the Virgin Born, one must have fulfilled the conditions for at least the "To Eternity" ending.

The mutated form of [[spoiler:Gregorio Silva]] that was turned into a Successor by Mido and slowly driven to insanity so that the Gaol of the Mist that [[spoiler:Silva]] maintained would be lifted and the Revenants could go outside and fight the Aragami. He mutates even further after absorbing even more Relics and turns into a giant monster.

* SuperpoweredMook: They're Lost, but they're exceedingly powerful because [[SealedEvilInACan they've been grafted with pieces of Cruz's body.]]

* {{Expy}}: The boss fights a lot like the Dancer of the Boreal Valley from ''Videogame/DarkSoulsIII'', walking on all fours, having fire moves accompanied by a flaming sword which gets used more in a second phase, and ambiguously sexy parts. [[spoiler: Similarly, both were the cause of cruel experimentation, the former by Juzo Mido and the latter by Pontiff Sulyvahn]]
* MsFanservice: Cat characteristics aside, she has a curvy physique, huge breasts and strikes sexy poses.

[[folder:The Skull King/The Virgin Born]]

The Successor that awaits in the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. A giant creature with a wolf-like head and four arms and two legs, it stands before the protagonist and company as if to block the door to the cathedral. [[spoiler: It's revealed that she is actually the scientist Aurora Valentino, a close friend of Karen, who volunteered to become a Successor to protect Karen who have also become a Successor.]]

The Successor who inherited Q.U.E.E.N.'s claws. It has deep red claws that shine like a crimson flame and two tails. Its head is fully masked, meaning that its facial expressions are unreadable, but the prey reflected in its eyes is undoubtedly invited to death. [[spoiler: It's revealed that she is actually Emily Su, who volunteered to become Mido's test subject, transformed into this Successor by one of the relics.]]

The Successor that awaits in the Ridge of Frozen Souls. A large animated suit of armor whose helmet is adorned with large antlers that awaits the protagonist and company among the frozen wastes. [[spoiler: It's revealed that he is actually Nicola Karstein, Mia's little brother who volunteered to become a Successor to protect his sister.]]

The Successor that was recently sent into frenzy by Mido and awaits at the Crown of Sands. An angelic figure with a flower in one of its eye sockets and purple halo-like appendages sprouting out of her shoulder blade. [[spoiler:She holds Eva Roux's body in her chest.]]

The mutated form of [[spoiler:Gregorio Silva]] that was turned into a Successor by Mido and slowly driven to insanity so that [[spoiler:the Gaol of the Mist that Silva maintained would be lifted and the Revenants could go outside and fight the Aragami]]. He mutates even further after absorbing even more Relics and turns into a giant monster.

* PosthumousCharacter: Not Eva herself, but the previous Successor of the Throat, who were killed by Jack just prior to the protagonist catching up with him in the Dried-up Trenches. His relic is then transferred into Eva, making her the new Successor.

* ThemeMusicPowerup: Upon reaching the second phase of their respective boss fight, their original BattleThemeMusic goes away while "Heir of the Shingai" kicks in, signifying the Successor is now pulling out all the stops to kill you.

* HumanityEnsues: Zigzagged. Unlike in the case of [[spoiler:Eva Roux]], who's transformation could be undone since she was only recently turned into a Successor, the rest are permanently stuck inside their new bodies. Their sanity can be restored if the protagonist purifies their Vestiges. [[spoiler:In the "Dwellers in the Dark" ending, the Successors' bodies are returned to normal]].
