Words with Kat: Sage Mears answers our questions concerning DmC’s feisty feline protagonist -interview from devilmaycry.org [source]-

It feels like only yesterday that we were picking the brain of Tim Phillipps, DmC: Devil May Cry’s Dante voice actor. Now, after having Sage Mears lined up in our sights for some time now, we’ve managed to secure some time to talk with the wonderfully talented motion capture and voice actress for DmC’s heroine, Kat, and find out just what makes Sage and her in-game avatar tick.

Once more, our ever-effervescent community had a tremendous number of questions lined up for the star to answer. We picked our favourite 15 gems, and here be the answers that we were treated to:

“Was there an audition process, and if so what was it like?” via Loopy

Sage: Yes, there was an audition process. My audition was a bit abnormal in how fast it all occurred. I auditioned with a scene from I believe the show Everwood because the DmC script was so confidential. I was put on tape for Tameem and producers and found before the end of the day that I had booked the job. I then went to a table where there was an option to release me from my contract after the table. At the table read was the first time I met Tameem and actually read my character in the script. That was probably the most nerve-racking part, but obviously it all worked out.

“You posted a bunch of pics online of you rocking some pretty awesome Kat cosplay, was that during or after production? Some method actors really enjoy getting into character, was that some kind of method voice acting?” via Django

Sage: Ha. In hindsight I probably should have done it before the shoot, but I actually didn’t really know what Kat looked like in entirety until after the DmC shoot. The photos came about because my friend David Freid, who is a genius photographer and I decided to have some fun with my character. It was all are concept and our doing. When I saw how great the shots turned out, I sent them to Capcom to use for publicity purposes. I really enjoyed getting to embody Kat in more of a physical sense though. Since during shooting we were simply in our mocap suits, which don’t help you to feel very sexy.

“How would you personally describe the character of Kat?” via 788Masri

Sage: Kat is an introvert and has major trust issues. She has always been forced to rely on herself, so I think in a way that’s why she almost over trusts Vergil when they first form a relationship. Because Vergil is the first to ever be nice to her. She’s childlike in that way that she is still learning a lot about herself, her sexuality and how the world works. She definitely hasn’t had an easy life, but has remarkably not become jaded or sinister because her experiences. She has a ton of empathy and I think that’s what makes her character so endearing.

“Did you have any input on the story?” via neromaycry

Sage: No. The story was complete before I ever got involved. I had input to an extend with Kat. Tameem was great with all of us in regards to adding our quirks and our way of seeing the characters to his vision of them. He really worked with us and not against us.

“Do you feel that Kat is a good representation for a strong female character in a video game?” via Onecrazymonkey1

Sage: This question is probably the hardest for me to answer. I think overall yes. While, I understand peoples viewpoints that I’ve read on forums or in articles about how Kat is damsel in distress, I think when you really evaluate her fully, you’ll see that she’s not. No, she doesn’t have weapons or kick ass at any point in the game, but she certainly doesn’t simply cry or constantly need saving. Yes, Dante saves her at the end, but she saved him first. Dante would have had a much harder time on his path without Kat by his side. And I like that she doesn’t use weapons, but instead uses her brain to invent spells and portals into limbo. I also like that she isn’t advertently sexual. She isn’t using being a girl to manipulate Dante or Vergil and Dante sees her as his equal not simply as a woman to conquer.

“How did you prepare for DmC Devil May Cry? [Going] from a TV actress to playing and acting as a video game character, was there any challenging aspects from changing roles?” via AwesomeDMC

Sage: The biggest challenge I think for all of us actors was adjusting to the green screen aspect of things. When you act in TV and film, it’s easier in a lot of ways in that you’re given a real set. So if you’re scene takes place in a bedroom, there’s a bed, a tv, and some decorations; things that tend to help you as an actor to ground yourself in the scene and in the character. When doing Mocap none of that is there. A wooden platform is a bed and that’s it. No doors to open, no decorations to pull help give you a sense of your character. It is just you the other actor and hopefully your vivid imagination. I guess the other challenge was just in making made up things real. In the real world there is no limbo or demon creatures to annihilate, so when dialogue or scenes revolved around those things, you had to work a little harder to find parallel ideas for yourself to be able to act truthfully in the given circumstances. Hopefully all of that made some kind of sense :/

“What was Tameem like as a director? Did he encourage you to have your own interpretation of the character?” via Frazz

Sage: Tameem was great. Very open to suggestions about our characters and totally listened to suggestions or questions we may have had.

“What is your favourite thing about Kat and DmC?” via ZeroLove

Sage: Probably that she is a graffiti artist. I loved that aspect of her. Maybe because I’m a huge fan or street art myself and was already an avid Banksy follower/supporter before even becoming involved in the project, so I thought it was so cool that she creates these portals with her graffiti. I hope if there is a sequel I get some hands on graffiti lessons. Go to downtown LA and create some art on a wall. That would be pretty rad.

“If you had to choose between going on a date with Dante or Vergil and your life depended on it, who would you pick and why?” via Alittleacorn

Sage: I feel like this one is pretty obvious. Kat would go on a date with Dante. Why? Because he was much more invested in Kat’s survival than Vergil was.

“Have you been contacted for a sequel?” via Jerry Wirehammer

Sage: Fingers and toes are crossed.

“If you had to chose between Dante or Vergil who would you choose?” via DragonMaster2010

Again, I’m going to assume this question is asking Kat who she would choose and therefor like the previous question. Kat would choose Dante, because he genuinely cares about her, while Vergil saw Kat more as a pawn in his master plan.

“Hi Sage, I’m curious; How does one extract squirrel semen?” via Zilla

Sage: With a turkey baster, obviously ;).

“How would you explain Kat’s feelings about Dante at the end of DmC?” via Vergil’sBitch

Sage: My interpretation is that Kat loves Dante. Not romantically. I think it goes deeper than that. This is someone she would literally give her life for. She believes in him, more than I think even he believes in himself. They’re two lost souls who have found each other and will do anything for each other. So, I think Dante in the end doesn’t kill vergil, because Kat begs him not to. It’s like she’s telling him “you’re better than that.” And he wants to prove her right.

“Are you familiar with Devil May Cry? If not, did you do any research before or while playing as Kat?” via Dante47

Sage: I was not familiar with Devil May Cry before becoming involved in the project. I obviously am more familiar now with the franchise. Because DmC was a reboot and they really wanted the game to have it’s own feel, we were actually encouraged to not play the previous games. I think Tameem really wanted our own organic take on our characters and not feeling like we needed to replicate what had previously been done.

“Would you ever want to return playing as Kat again in DmC2?” via Ronin

Sage: I would love to. I enjoyed every moment of getting to be a part of this game and franchise and would love an opportunity to continue bringing life to Kat in the future. I think her story has a lot to still be developed and revealed. I think the better question though, is do you guys want me to still be Kat in DmC 2? Cause, you guys are the most important part of this whole franchise. Your why there’s been 5 Devil May Cry’s and hopefully why there will be a sixth.

Thanks for taking the time to answer the community’s many questions, Ka– er… Sage! Hear’s to hoping we see much more of Kat and yourself in DmC: Devil May Cry 2!

Sage: Thanks for the interview! It rocked my socks! I love interacting with all of you, so feel free to comment or ask questions, some of you may already know that I’m pretty good about answering and commenting back. Also, if you guys want to ask me questions directly or get updates on other projects I am a part of. I have a Facebook page and my Twitter handle is WordswithSage.

41 facts about the DMC series.

1. Dante is both right-handed and left-handed, Vergil is right-handed, Nero is left-handed.

2. The first Devil May Cry was originally gonna be Resident Evil 4. Almost all of the enemies in Devil May Cry are a reference to Resident Evil.

For example, the Marionettes represent the zombies since they’re slow, the Blades represent the Hunters, and the Beezlebubs, Cyclopses, and Phantoms all represent the giant bugs.

And to add, Dante represents Leon, and Vergil (Nelo Angelo) represents Wesker.

Then later, Leon got changed to a guy named Tony, which is the Dante we know, then Tony’s name because an alias for Dante.

3. The reason Dante wears red and has white hair is because it’s a Japanese tradition of how they create their rolemodels/superheroes (they usually wear red). And the white hair is from a Japanese folklore that has something to do with demon possession.

4. The order of the series actually goes by:

- Devil May Cry 1 Novel (Dante is 16-18)

- Devil May Cry 3 Manga (Dante is 18)

- Devil May Cry 3 (Dante is 18-19)

- Devil May Cry 1, Marvel vs CAPCOM 3 and Viewtiful Joe (Dante is 28-29 years old)

- Devil May Cry Anime (Dante is 29-30 years old)

- Devil May Cry 4 (Dante is 36 years old)

- Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, Devil May Cry 2 Novel, and Devil May Cry 2 (Dante is between 38 and 40 years)

5. The Devil May Cry story was based off of the old poetry book, A Divine Comedy/Dante’s Inferno. Dante was named after the author and character, Dante Alighieri. Vergil was named after Vergil, and Trish and Eva were named after Beatrice.

6. The reason they added Patty Lowell into the Devil May Cry Anime was because all Anime companies keep a tradition, where they have to add approximately 1 cute thing in a series, including horror genre type Anime O_o Plus they wanted to add a bit of comic relief, showing how Dante reacts towards kids.

7. Daniel Southworth (Vergil) did NOT do the voice of Credo in Devil May Cry 4, but he did the mo-cap of Credo. And he also auditioned to be the voice of Dante for Devil May Cry 4, but didn’t get the part.

8. Stephanie Cheeva did NOT do the voice of Lady from Devil May Cry 3 because she has an Eastern European accent and can’t get rid of it. But she did the mo-cap of Lady, while Kari Walhgren did the voice ;)

9. Laura Napoli did NOT do the voice of Lady and Kyrie in Devil May Cry 4, but she did the mo-cap for them.

10. On Mission 19 in Devil May Cry 3 when Dante and Vergil defeat Arkham, notice that when they swap weapons, Dante does attacks similar to Vergil’s, while Vergil does attacks similar to Dante’s.

11. Notice how Vergil’s deadly cuts are activated when he sheathes his katana.

12. Episode 7 of the Devil May Cry Anime is the only episode that has the f-word.

13. Vergil is actually Nero’s father….No joke because there was a press conference with CapCom years ago explaining all the novels, and they confirmed Nero to be Vergil’s son. Plus in one of the latest art books (Japan only), CapCom wrote for one of the concepts, hinting that Nero is related in some way.

14. In Devil May Cry 4, CAPCOM was originally gonna give Nero and Dante a 2nd devil trigger form called “Perfect Devil Trigger”, where their demon side controls them, making them more powerful and wreaking havoc, but Nero controls his demon side more.

15. Cerberus appeared in one of the circles of Inferno which was the 3rd one in Divine Comedy/Dante’s Inferno, and Cerberus was the third mission’s boss in DMC3. Also in the 3rd circle of inferno, there is a heavy rain mixed with hail, and one of Cerberus’ heads shoots ice to the roof, which later falls like rain, explaining why he’s ice element.

16. Lady/Mary was named after Jesus’ mother, Lady Mary/The Virgin Mary.

17. Devil May Cry 4 Mission 11’s name: “The 9th circle” makes reference to Lucifer’s circle in Dante’s Inferno/Divine Comedy. Thinking about it, it’d be more fitting to say the “8th”, since that’s where most of the giants are. In the 8th circle, giants are kept “encaged” inside tall, circular towers, some almost at their height, some not, and the Saviour from DMC4 is a giant inside a large tower where only the top of its head goes further than the tower.

18. Beowulf in Devil May Cry 3 is a reference to Divine Comedy’s/Dante’s Inferno’s Geryon who is the angel that carries Dante and Vergil at some point of inferno. It keeps most of the features Geryon had: Shining wings, large body and scorpion’s tail. They named him Beowulf though due to his creature concept.

19. Geryon in Devil May Cry 3 is a reference to the horse that carried Beatrice’s vehicle in Dante’s Inferno/Divine Comedy. They have moved the name Geryon to the horse for some reason.

20. The Scarecrows from Devil May Cry 4 are filled with black-misty bugs, like in the first circle of inferno in Dante’s Inferno/Divine Comedy.

21. Jester was originally gonna be named Joker.

22. Arkham’s name was originally gonna be named Hyne (pronounced Hai-neh).

23. Due to restrictions on the PS2’s technological capabilities, there could only be as many as the Abysses showing on screen at once in Vergil’s prologue.

24. All in game animation (except the taunts, cutscenes, and all of DMC4) required no motion capture.

25. The Bruce Lee-like taunt that Dante does before he fights Cerberus was actually going to be one of the taunts in the game.

26. Lady’s school girl design was for the purpose of “moe”, a Japanese term which in this case refers to “sex appeal”, or an effect that brings about “excitement” in that sense.

27. At the beginning of the first mission 9 cutscene, they had to remodel/reskin Dante just for it due to getting soaked in blood.

28. On mission 13 after defeating Vergil for the 2nd time, the battle scene when Lady steps in was going to be longer, having Lady fight against Dante and Vergil. Unfortunately, they had to cut it short due to the fact that Lady (who is human) has no chance of defeating them (half demons).

29. In the 1st scene of DMC1 where Trish falls from the sky, there’s a shop to her left with a sign that says, “Dino Crisis 2”.

30. In the Devil May Cry Anime, Reuben Langdon (the voice of Dante) changed his name to Justin Cause in the credits. Justin Cause is a reference to the stunt studio he works at called Just Cause. Also the other reason he changed it to Justin Cause was because it had something to do with a contract from the studio, and he also didn’t like the idea of how they made Dante’s character in this anime, so Reuben couldn’t really be himself.

31. Notice how for the Order of the Sword cult from DMC4 wears only white and red, while Nero’s the only one who wears a different colour, violet.

32. Sanctus’ name has never been said in DMC4….Ever. He’s only called “His Holiness”, or “Your Holiness”. Then again, Sanctus means Holiness in Latin.

33. In this video, go to the 25 second mark and listen carefully -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMS0PvYRno8 Sound familiar? That part of the song can also be heard from the Devil May Cry anime when Dante battles some enemies sometimes :)

34. In the DMC1 novel, Tony/Dante goes on a date with a certain someone by the name of Claire. Remember how I mentioned about how DMC1 was gonna be Resident Evil 4? (See fact #2)

35. After Devil May Cry 1 or Devil May Cry 2 was released, CapCom was gonna make a Devil May Cry game for the PSP called Dance of Sparda. And then it was rumoured to be for the DS afterwards but that never happened either.

36. In Bayonetta, there are a few Devil May Cry references such as Bayonetta saying Dante’s one line, “Let’s rock baby”. Even the gameplay style is a reference, Luka’s one pet cat is named Trish (or girlfriend he calls her), and there’s a thing at the end of the credits that says, “Team Little Angels” instead of “Team Little Devils”.

37. There are some hints that Lady probably is not 100% human:

- she does acrobatic abilities that no Olympic gymnast can do.

- after getting stabbed in the leg by her Kalina Ann on mission 13, she does not scream in pain nor cry. Like, I understand that she’s in shock and wouldn’t scream nor cry but after awhile, she SHOULD be crying and complaining a lot.

- with the state of her wounded leg, it seems like it’s already healing, and she should NOT be walking. If someone had an injured leg like that (especially a skilled soldier or survivalist), they should be using a crutch/cane and not able to walk.

- her father Arkham has the ability to transform into a demonic Mad Hatter in the DMC3 manga, which is a prequel of DMC3, and before the incident of his wife that he brutally murdered, then was able to transform into Jester in DMC3.

38. Besides Divine Comedy/Dante’s Inferno, and Resident Evil, Devil May Cry was also inspired by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night:

- Nevan in DMC3 is a reference to the Succubus boss.

- Dante is half-human, half-demon, while Alucard is half-human, half-vampire, and both men have white hair.

- the music has some dark Gothic-like music playing, then changes to heavy metal/rock in both games.

- Shadow from DMC1 is a reference to the one enemy in the inverted castle, Black Panther.

- both Dante and Alucard have a doppelganger-like boss. Before Alucard’s doppelganger emerges, there is some sort of door that has a certain symbol or pattern on it that is similar to the lights in the DMC3 doppelganger battle.

39. In DMC4, the Saviour was not originally gonna be Sparda, it was originally gonna be Kyrie or Eva.

40. Besides Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance had some references to Devil May Cry as well. Raiden’s human concept has a similar facial concept and hairstyle like DMC2 Dante. He even taunted a couple times like Dante would do before the Blade Wolf Fight and fight against the officers of the one city. And some of Raiden’s movesets are very similar to some of Dante’s moves when he uses Ifrit.

41. Dante’s Rising Dragon ability is a reference to Ryu from Street Fighter’s Rising Dragon.
