---CHARACTER DIFFERENCES---
Solaire: Cannot change equipment, stuck with Sunlight Shield and Sunsword. Downstab is replaced with lightning spear, but attacks are otherwise identical to longsword. Moves slower than Oscar, but deals more damage and has more health. Attacks slower.

Lautrec: Cannot change equipment, stuck with Parrying Dagger and Shotel. Shotel is identical to Falchion, but ignores shields. Instead of blocking, executes a very quick attack with the parrying dagger that can be interrupted with any other attack. Same HP and movespeed as Solaire, but no damage increase or attack speed decrease.

Black Iron Tarkus: Cannot change equipment, stuck with Greatsword and Black Iron Greatshield. Greatsword is extremely similar the Zweihander. Slowest movement speed, highest health.

Witch Beatrice: Cannot change equipment, stuck with witch's staff and cracked wooden shield. Witch's staff has a unique moveset. Downstab is replaced with staff swing. Stab is replaced with soul arrow. Sidestab is replaced with great heavy soul arrow. Upstab is replaced with homing soul mass. Jumping stab is replaced with soul greatsword. Running stab is replaced with a staff swing. Lower health than Oscar.

Slayer of Demons: Can change equipment, shares all movesets with Oscar. Movespeed is nearly doubled, as is attack speed, but hp is halved.

The Legend: Cannot change equipment, stuck with Chaoshander and Grass Crest Shield. Chaoshander is identical to Zweihander, but gains damage based on how much humanity you have. Much faster than Oscar, but not as fast as Slayer of Demons. Second highest health and speed.
