Summary
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. Soma was a student who migrated into Japan for his studies until he and his close friend, Mina, were transported into Dracula’s castle after an solar eclipse occurred. Upon finding an exit, he realized he’s inherited the power of dominance due to being an incarnation of Dracula and destroyed the source of his dark power, Chaos, in hopes of preventing himself from becoming the next dark lord.
One year later, however, it turns out that he still inherits these powers after being attacked by a priestess named Celia, who plans to revive the dark lord by killing Soma and finding candidates. Soma treads in Celia's castle in order to prevent her from succeeding. Soma has the ability to copy the powers and abilities of the monsters by absorbing their souls upon their defeat.

Key: Soma Cruz | Dark Lord Soma
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Power of Dominance: The Power of Dominance is the primary ability of the Dark Lord. Soma inherited this power from Dracula, as he is the reincarnation of the count and thus has his soul. Through it, Soma can absorb the Souls of his enemies and can gain absolute control over his respective demonic souls. After absorbing a Soul, Soma gains the powers, resistances, control over the soul and can likely erase them from existence akin to Dracula. This power also grants Soma incredible control over souls as he was able to passively absorb them from Celia's castle when witnessing Mina's death and absorb the countless souls of the Abyss after defeating Menace. When submitting to Chaos and turning to his dark side, Soma is reborn as Dracula once again and has complete control over demons and the countless souls of the Abyss.
- Magical Seals: Learned by Yoko Belnades. Soma can seal monsters and bosses if he kills them to sever their connection to the Dark Portal, which stops them from coming back or regenerating.
- Summoning: Through his various souls, Soma can summon a wide variety of demons, spirits and monsters to fight for him or to protect him.
- Shapeshifting: Soma can take on the form of the souls he posseses, he can also transform into a bat and fly. Notable transformations include: Iron Golem, Valkyrie, Manticor, Curly and Devil Souls.
- Hellfire Soma shoots out either 3 or 5 flames of pure Hellfire like Dracula. This abillity can also be used in his bat form.
- Death Touch Not to be confused with Death. This soul makes it so that every hit from Soma will replenish his life by absorbing the lifeforce of enemies. This works on inanimate objects and attacks that are blocked as well.
- 5th Plague A power derived from Abaddons Soul. It makes Soma able to summon tons of demonic Locusts which he can control and act independently from while fighting.
- Death Scythe: Not to be confused with the weapon. This gives Soma the abillity to passively create Scythes all around him which target his enemies, these scythes can also destroy projectiles.
- Nightmare: Chanelling the Malachi soul, Soma fires a ball of dark energy that slowly floats at its enemy.
- Astral Veil: From the Killer Mantle, Soma can swap his opponents life force with their magic. When used against enemies who have no magic it will instantly kill them
- Damage Cut: An abillity gained from the Dead Crusader, Soma can completely nullify effects of attacks or physical damage alltogether. This extends to attacks that would normally negate durabillity like petrification, curses, poisons and more.
- Chaos Ring: A ring that draws powers from Chaos itself, it gives Soma almost limitless magic and use of his souls.
- Legendary Weapons: Soma can wield various mythical weapons like Excalibur, Claimh Solais, Mjollnjr, Gungner, Hrunting, Longinus Spear, Murasama and Death's Scythe.
- Positron Rifle: A large futuristic weapon that shoots out an anti-particle beam of positive electrons to annihilate its target.
- Fire Arms: Soma has various fire arms in his inventory, ranging from normal 9mm hanguns, to guns with silver ammunition and finally a RPG
- Other notable equipment and goods: Death's robe, Dracula's tunic which is imbued with his dark powers, Megingjord, Satan's Ring etc.
