I miss my characters
Tumblr media
I do.
With all the chaos that is present with me right now with work, traveling and trying to find some moment of peace to write something else, I do miss my weirdos.
And I barely know what they are doing these days to be fair.
I see glimpses of them and even that.
Jonathan got a dog because he misses Lachlan and I don't know how to care for a dog, but I let him keep it because it makes him somewhat happy.
Scarlett is traveling with Phil, but don't ask me where and how and why because I cannot answer that.
Leila is hiding away at the manor from dragons or ghosts of her past and present and there's no touching her.
Angela is in her cottage that she threatened to set on fire more than once but she won't tell me why.
Victoria is crying all alone in a bar, Gods know where and she won't talk to me despite the ridiculous amounts of alcohol i promised to give her.
Jin is plotting world domination with a lot of style and sass and i can't keep up with him.
Gareth has discovered making his own alcohol and wine and also looking at stalking Gareth and Hell forbid he comes out his cellar.
Talia is fighting with herself and her past and while it's always been the case, she hates everything right now.
WTF???

What is it with fantasy characters and going under a different name?
Me and my friend are both reading though fantasy books. They are on book 3 of the bartimaeus trilogy and I’m on the first book of the red queen series. I’m listening though because I’m not much of a physical book reader, I find that the words on the page start to blur together In a way making it harder to read. Plus with an audio book I can do other things making myself feel productive.
BUT! To the point of this post, in the bartimaeus trilogy, Nathanael’s name is changed to John mandrake and Mare’s name is changed to Mareena. Both involuntary. I just wanna know if this happens in any other fantasy books or it’s just a coincidence

My Homework on Vampires and Ghouls
========================================================
Corrections for Mercy’s Background Story: Vampirazation
========================================================
Date: January 24, 2023
By: ArtsyJandi (I own ajstudio)
=====
(I spent days studying and writing this lengthy page document of 2,912 words and I’m sharing it to show my work and so everyone can use for their writing. Enjoy!)
(I have corrected the dates for Mina and Lucy. And I corrected the number of years Alucard had served Hellsing before his disappearance. I intend update his section since I neglected to go over the changes his body went through over the years of his time as a vampire.)
The nightmare Mercy and the girls lived through ends at 10 pm sharp. Studying Dracula and Hellsing for important details has helped me learn more about vampires and ghouls. The most crucial detail is the time it takes for a human to become a vampire or ghoul. First I would like to include Mercy’s original tragic story (originally she was called Rosebud but that is now one of her nicknames) :
“Here’s what Integra’s learned about the Omega girl by the time Alucard got back. Let’s call her Rosebud.
In the year 2022 - 2023, Integra recruits Rosebud after doing a case with her assigned by Queen Elizabeth II and appoints her under Seras as her subordinate like when she was turned by Alucard.
From what Integra learned of her background the first time she met Rosebud: she was born and raised in Louisiana, but she was shot six times in Virginia after being bitten by a vampire when the survivors of the attack feared she’d turn into one. Everyone involved originally didn’t believe in vampires, but not after that night.
Tumblr media
This horror happened on November 5, 2021, at a bachelorette party, and when the vampire tried to attack Tasha the bride (who was also ten weeks pregnant with her fiancée’s baby), Rosebud pushed her out of the way to take a stab at the vampire with a silver letter opener. The vampire bit Rosebud, then she stabbed his left eye, cut his throat, and finally staked his heart. Three of the guests that were turned into ghouls just drop dead, but everyone was scared for Rosebud. Tasha’s fiancee, Todd, got wind of what was happening and rushed over only to make it to the aftermath. He takes it upon himself to end Rosebud with a resolver. While thankful for her selfless bravery, Todd remorsefully has to end her life before she turns. After much urging and pleading from Rosebud, "I don’t know how different I’ll be when this change is complete. Please. Save the next person that comes after me.”, he empties his resolver of its six bullets.
Unfortunately, Tod didn’t know that Rosebud was not at risk of becoming a vampire because the attacker was already dead. He learned this from the man that warned him of the attack. He told Todd and Tasha he was a doctor, and he could save her with surgery, but he has to do it before the tissue begins to decay. Todd and Tasha agreed to let him save Rosebud since they didn’t want her to die. The doctor, Oliver White, rushes to his lab with Rosebud’s body and begins to replace her organs with new ones from another body.
Four hours later, the surgery is a success. While Dr. White went to wash up after the surgery and make a bracelet out of the bullets that shot Rosebud, another vampire slipped into the lab and started to drink Rosebud’s blood. While Dr. White managed to make it back in time before the vampire did something worse, he found Rosebud had lost too much blood. Dr. White brought her back to Todd and Tasha and instructed them to keep Rosebud hidden in the basement until he got back. The party had taken place at Tasha’s maternal grandmother’s house which was located on a farm. They were also instructed to lay Rosebud near the patch of garlic blossoms close to the ditch as they arranged the basement for her. Before Dr. White returned to his lab to do away with the vampire, he leaves the bracelet he made with Rosebud.
Seven hours after she had been shot Rosebud finally woke up on November 6th that morning before dawn, but she was thirsty for blood. The first person she meets is a crying Tasha, but she feeds on herself because Rosebud didn’t want to reverse her good deed. Rosebud helps the couple move her belongings into the basement and hide her car as they wait for Dr. White, but he never came back. Rosebud waited for him until 8 pm before she, Tasha, and Todd packed her belongings into her car, along with some bottles of pig’s blood, and drove off back home while it was still night since they didn’t know she’d be fine in the sunlight.“
Since I have made some changes to Mercy’s story, which has been a slow progress, I would consider this passage from what I could call the rough draft of her story. As I read the Hellsing volumes, relistened to the Dracula audiobook while looking over the original novel, and rewatched some of the episodes of the anime and OVA for any details I missed and recalled to overview. Consider this a thesis on what I’ve learned.  
—–
Ghouls
—–
When Dr. Avondale, or the Doktor, was working on the artificial vampires he noted that the test subjects regenerated 17% faster but became ghouls approximately four hours afterward. While he and the S.S. Major Max Montana wanted the transformation process of the ghouls to be quicker. I can deduce that four hours is the natural time it takes for humans to become ghouls.
Tumblr media
Another example I can bring up would be in, "Order 03: Murder Club” when Sir Integra Hellsing investigated the aftermath of the Ghoul Lover Duo. After she was informed that the attack had happened a few hours ago. She then ordered the corpses to be disposed of quickly since they would be changed if not dealt with properly. Now while the vampires responsible for the attack were made by Millinuim and not by natural means, Sir Hellsing didn’t know that yet but it still reinforces my estimation of the transformation process.
Tumblr media
This makes the realization of Seras’ situation with the Cheddar Priest all the more horrifying. She was by herself for four hours at least before Alucard got there. What took you so long? Moongazing isn’t an excuse! But that would be another reason why Alucard has so much respect for Seras. After her comrades became ghouls and Cheddar quite literally became a Ghouleville Seras was likely the person to request backup before her source of communication was cut off. Looking at the first chapter again the chief explained, and corrected me, that the unit Seras was a part of lost contact with the party stationed outside of Cheddar three hours before Sir Integra and Alucard arrived.
Tumblr media
And there we have it: three hours. This concludes that Dr. Avondale’s experiments only slowed the transformation time by one hour. Man.
But onto the Ghouls of Millennium. Judging by the attack on Hellsing Headquarters and London I believe these monstrous Nazi Vampires can spawn ghouls within minutes of biting their human prey and draining their blood. Maybe four or forty minutes tops. Or under twenty minutes taking into account that Jan and his unit of eighteen ghouls taking two lunch breaks eating fractions of the 86 soldiers stationed at Hellsing HQ making it to the 5th/4th floor* where Sir Integra and the Knights of the Round Table held their conference. Luke sliced the ones he encountered without making any ghouls.
—–
Vampires
—–
Now on to the vampires. Here I will discuss the four subjects in their sections respectfully. They are Lucy Westenra, Mina Harker nee Murray, Seras Victoria, and finally, Count Dracula himself, also known as Alucard.
Lucy Westenra (1876 - Sep. 20, 1887)
She catches the attention of Dracula when he came to Whitby, England on August 11th, 1889 when she was sleepwalking again making Mina go after her. This condition of hers is possibly how Dracula came to target Lucy and then Mina. He stealthily followed them back to Lucy’s home and following the night after that he drank her blood as she slept. Despite the best efforts of Abraham Van Hellsing, Quincey Morris, Dr. John Seward, and Arthur Holmwood/Lord Godalming to save Lucy Dracula drained her blood until she died on Sep. 20, 1889, at the 18th hour (but Abraham Van Hellsing wrote to Mina that she died with her mother five days before the 22nd and buried the day before. I guess he knew her death was inevitable on the morning of the 18th.) Two to three days later, she’s drinking the blood of children as a new vampire. Eventually, her actions made the paper by Sep. 25th. The very men that tried to save her had to put a stake through her heart and behead her.
Her innocent beauty, blonde hair, and blue eyes were noted to have changed to a more seductive and voluptuous sort with black tresses, red orbs, and fangs. She regained her original beauty upon having a stake through her heart.
Wilhelmina (Mina) Harker nee Murray (1876 - 19??)
On October 3rd at six in the morning, Jonathan Harker (Mina’s husband) wrote about the events that happened the day and night before. Dracula drinks Mina’s blood and then force-feeds her his blood. Abraham Van Hellsing then prayed over her and pressed a blessed wafer to her forehead to stall the time of her vampirization. The blood Mina was force-fed was supposed to speed up her transformation. But the blessing stalled it for 36 days. Mina was bitten by Dracula on the night of Oct. 2nd and she was human again by the dawn of Nov. 7th. The Power of Christ surpasses the blood of the undead! This makes me wonder how much sooner Mina would’ve turned if Mr. Van Hellsing didn’t stall her transformation. Mina’s appearance didn’t change much since she never made a full transformation but she has fangs upon the moment Walter C. Dornez burns her remains on Sep. 16th, 1999.
But as a lot of people who are reading this post are likely Hellsing fans and Dracula fans are pondering how Mina was still a virgin upon the time Dracula bite her and force-fed her his blood since being a virgin is a requirement for a vampire of the opposite sex (Dracula is a male vampire turning the virgin woman Mina into a vampiress) by Hellsing universe standards and Mina Harker married Jonathan before Lucy had become a vampire.
This confusion is very understandable but let me propose something to consider about the timing of the bite: Jonathan’s mental and physical health. He went to Romania in May to discuss the estates Dracula purchased but the Count had no intention of letting him leave and instead left him at the mercy of the three vampire sisters he shared a home. Jonathan somehow escaped but he was without his belongings and important travel documents since Dracula took them when he left (the jerk) forcing him to travel on foot to the monastery where he would recover and marry Mina after receiving his first letter in four months. With Jonathan barely making out of Dracula’s castle alive he was understandably traumatized. So sex was the last thing on the minds of Jonathan and Mina since his recovery was more important than consummating their marriage.
Then the moment they return to London and meet up with Abraham Van Hellsing’s party they immediately piece together they have a vampire to deal with. Hence we have another reason why Mina was likely still a virgin when Dracula bite her simply for the fact they just had one bigger fish to fry after another before Jonathan could have “it’s good to be alive” sex with his wife. Everyone deals with their trauma differently, and therefore, we shan’t blame Jonathan for waiting until the whole deal with Dracula was over to be intimate with Mina. We know this since their son, Quincey Harker, is born on Nov. 6th the first anniversary of Dracula’s defeat and Quincey Morris’ death. So we know they got happily busy in late January or early February. Oh, if they did the deed on Valentine’s day then that’s a story waiting to be written.
Seras Victoria (1980? - July 5th, 1999)
On the night of July 5th, 1999, Dracula, now Alucard, made Seras Victoria a vampire after dealing with the vampire priest and his ghouls in Cheddar. I don’t know how long Alucard walked from where he started and walked back to where Sir Integra and the police force were stationed on Cheddar Hwy. But by the time Alucard did make it back with Seras she was already a vampire within less than a day instead of two or three.
With the experiments and enhancements done to Alucard for the 111 years going on 112 years he was enslaved to Hellsing it would seem the vampirization of the people he drains of their blood have less than a day to become vampires. My best guess is less than 40 minutes to an hour. This makes the thought of him going rogue dreadful. He could easily make an army of vampires to replace the army of familiars he lost after recovering his physical form in 2030. But it’s a good thing he chooses to make vampires when the person in question has earned their immortality. This makes me love him more for being so responsible with his powers, and it’s also one of the reasons why he made Seras a vampire. Although I wish he gave her the choice before he shot through her to kill the vampire priest.
Tumblr media
In the first chapter, Seras’ blonde hair is chin length, her eyes are blue, and her bust is probably a C cup. She retains most of these features for the first two months of her time as a fledgling vampire with the exception being her growing hair and bust. When Seras finally drinks Pip’s blood and takes him as her familiar (something he insisted on since he was dying) her slashed blue eyes are restored with a new shade of red. While Kohta Hirano’s art style was simply evolving as the series progressed and it was even said that he drew Seras with bigger breasts since he was stressed out the vampirization can also explain Seras’ changing body in the series seeing as Lucy Westenra went through the most drastic change compared to everyone on this list.

Vlad III The Impaler Tepes, Count Dracula, Alucard (November 14th, 1431 - December 14, 1476)
The one who started it all. It would’ve been a great injustice to not include Dracula on the list. I don’t believe I’ll go over all the details of our great Dracula in his lifetime so I will just get straight to his death. Vlad the Voivode of Wallachia was fighting the Ottomans at a river in December of 1476 he was ambushed and captured. Later he was beheaded and his head was then placed in a jar filled with honey to preserve it as it was sent to Constantinople where Sultan Mehmed II was residing.
Historians have no definite idea as to how Vlad's death went down. One such scenario is he was beheaded near a place called the Witch's Pond within the Boldu Forest (when Vlad was killed it was a barren wasteland with a dead tree) outside of present-day Bucharest the capital of Romania. Unlike the other scenarios that will follow, there is no historical proof to verify that Vlad was beheaded here as of yet. Unfortunately, many people and I have made the mistake of thinking otherwise. Which is why I am correcting myself.
The other likely scenarios that I've looked at are:
1. Vlad dies in an ambush with ten of two-hundred soldiers surviving and telling Stephen the Great, Vlad's cousin, of this scenario. This scenario is most likely.
2. Vlad was assassinated by boyars (nobles) he had a meeting with who wanted him to make peace with the Ottomans and continue paying tribute to them. Naturally, he said no. After a heated debate of them demanding he hand over Wallachia to the Ottomans and Vlad being strongly opposed to it, the boyars kill Vlad.
3. Vlad was assassinated by the Ottomans or soldiers of his other enemy, Laiota Basarab, who had the throne of Wallachia before Vlad took it back. I would consider this scenario to be a follow-up of the first and most likely scenario I listed before.
4. Vlad was assassinated by a Turk disguised as a servant.
5. Vlad was killed by his men while disguised as an Ottoman soldier. This is most unlikely because our dear Vlad had tried a stunt like this before when he bravely attempted to assassinate Sulton Mehmed II. That didn't work and he had to escape the camp while the place was in chaos over confusion. This sly devil!
After listing these scenarios, I like to believe it's a bite of both 1# and 3#. Another funny speculation I'd like to share is it's a bite of all of them since Vlad had so many enemies they likely put their plans into action at the same time. It reminds of me an episode of CSI where a guy working at a brothel has been hated by the people who work there they all try to kill him with their methods but he keeps surviving until the chair he sat in breaks and he drowns in the pool he fell in.
But for the sake of this post, let's go with 1# and 3#.
After listing these scenarios, I like to believe it's a bite of both 1# and 3#. According to the flashbacks of Vlad's death he was beheaded in a barren wasteland after he lost to the Ottomans.
As we saw in Alucard’s flashbacks in the Castlevania chapters/orders or the 9th OVA the defeated Voivode lapped up some blood in defiance against God just before he was axed in the neck. His grave is at Snagnov Monastary and was found with only animal bones inside which would imply he was buried somewhere else. But in this universe, Vlad came back as a new vampire and the very first of his kind before he could be buried or after and judging by the familiars he had unleashed on Millennium Dracula woke up with a literal thirst for blood and drank the blood of the corpses of his army, his enemies, and some unfortunate animals.
I thought it made more sense for his reanimation to happen with just his head on the way to Constantinople since he tasted the blood just before he was beheaded. As I have observed before it takes two to three days for a vampire to be made so he would be revived as a new vampire halfway through the five-day journey back to Istanbul, Turkey. But I think he swallowed it in time for the blood to do its work on Vlad’s headless body evidenced by the familiars he summons during the London Raid.
Tumblr media
It’s all really scary when you think about it. But it gets scarier. Vlad died in the winter of December 14, 1476. If it were any other part of the year those corpses would’ve started to rot ten minutes after dying and Vlad would’ve woken up to the stench of rotting flesh. I’ve never smelled a dead human body before but if the stink is anything like the dead possum pulsating with maggots I found in my backyard a long time ago I can guarantee Vlad wouldn’t have been happy to have a supernatural nose upon his rebirth. So as much as he hated dying when he did it proved to his advantage.
-----
Conclusion
—–
It takes three hours for humans to become ghouls, and two to three days for humans to become vampires. If the vampire responsible for biting you force-feeds their blood to the victim they will turn in less than two or three days. If they can be blessed with a holy wafer pressed on their forehead they can stall the transformation for 36 days which is more than enough time to end the guilty vampire.
I need to rewrite Mercy’s living nightmare to last for four hours at least before she stakes Tasha’s ex-boyfriend Lawrence and then is shot by Tod. Then three days need to pass before she is to meet Tasha again as a new vampire.

Episode 343: Not as a monster
Vampire Barnabas Collins is in a chirpy mood. He and his associate, mad scientist Julia Hoffman, have just committed the premeditated murder of Julia’s medical school classmate Dave Woodard. As we saw when Barnabas made his sorely bedraggled blood thrall Willie to help him hide the corpse of seagoing con man Jason McGuire, nothing makes him happier than forcing someone to help with the killing of…

The seer
I know I should have written something for Halloween and while I did have two small stories planned, I went down a rabbit hole with Baldur's Gate 3 and ops, lost track of time.
However I come with gifts in terms of Carnage Circus, Orion in the aftermath following Scarlett's chapter.
Characters mentioned here belong to: @kc-and-co @cursebreakerfarrier @slytherindisaster
Tagging @lifeofkaze for the Orion content <3
Dark hair obscured his face as Orion made his way towards the fortune teller tent. Complexion pale as if he had not seen the sun or felt it on his skin for hundreds of years, yet the reasons behind his pallor had nothing to do with that. Instead, fright drummed against his chest as he continued mumbling to himself in an attempt to drown the horrifying sounds around him, not even daring to lift his eyes to witness the cranage unfolding.
The circus was without a director for the first time.
Scarlett had crossed a line that none had ever witnessed before and in doing so, all the darkness remained unchecked. There was no one to latch onto, instead unleashing its terror around those unfortunate souls that were caught in the crossfire. Voices distorted, ghosts from the past viciously drumming against his ears, yet he ignored them.
His tent, he had to reach his tent in order to see what the future would hold. With all the keys and directors returning, a blood bath, far worse than anything the lands have seen would ensue. None wished to be stuck within the prison once more, but none wished to face death either.
A pair of shaky hands gripped his shirt, eyes filled with pure terror rising to look at him, mouth asking for help before a blood curdling scream erupted from the lungs of the stranger, Orion lifting his eyes to look at one of the staff taking a bloody knife only to repeatedly stab tender flesh, until no more power was left in both limbs, the body falling at his feet.
“You poor creature.” Orion whispered as the process repeated before his eyes despite the man having given out his last breath before he even hit the ground.
Orion could smell the blood in the air alongside the smoke, his vision obscured by the gathering fog, here and there shadows roaming freely, screams being heard. It would take a miracle to clean up all the mess by the time a new director would remain standing.
But without one, carnage was inevitable, disaster right at their doors. Without a soul to latch onto, without a person to hold the burden and yet have hope that perhaps one day they would find their key, there was nothingness. Only pain.
Guiding the heavy velvet curtain away with his hand, he let his body fall on the old chair, eyes casting upon the crystal orb in the center of his table. Darkness swirled around in it, trying to escape the confines of the cold glass, recoiling when it hit the surface, a dance of nothingness and illusions, no light left to disperse it.
A heavy sigh left his lungs as he reached out to his trusty cards only to find them disintegrating between his trembling fingers, the fates eluding him “No, no, please. I’ve done everything, I’ve tried everything…I’ve tried…”
Ghostly whispers sung against his ears, haunting him. Keys and directors long past, their voices clear as they tried in vain to stop the carnage on the grounds, their powers reduced to nothing.
“What have you done to us Scarlett? You doomed us all.” Placing his shaky hands on the crystal globe, he closed his eyes, willing a desperate mind to still and call upon the forces of sight, no two thoughts connecting. Where one began it did not end, another dread taking hold, grasping at him with everything it had before it suddenly freed him, no respite in sight as another took hold, a manic dance on repeat.
And then suddenly silence, a moment not more.
Exiting his tent, he found his steps leading him towards the exit, however he did not know who to expect, each prospect terrifying.
Angela, Laurent and their son had fought to escaped together as a family, however they would be ruthless together. They set the foundation for an organization set to eradicate the curse that is the circus and their arrival could spell more death than hope.
While Oliver and Victoria were a light within the darkness, Akira had caused them enough damage to last more than a lifetime and their arrival could go both ways. They would do anything to ensure they remain together, a true connection formed out of love.
Akira would kill without a second though while Talia would burn to ashes those who oppose them, both darkness incarnate, retaliation only a matter of time. Their hate for the lands still a disease that spreads.
Penny would join, revenge the only thing to fuel her. For being denied the gift, for losing Talbott and no one could deny what she had been robbed of.
Lachlan and Jonathan would save each other, stick together and not let a soul break the bonds they share. Skilled and ruthless if hurt, a force united.
Glancing at the silhouettes moving in, Orion spoke up.
“We are nothing more than the reflection of every piece of grime and gore and horror that used to be and will exist. We are nothing in the cold embrace of time. We are not cradled, no tunes are sung for us. Always here. Always eternal. Forever bound by darkness, forever on a tight leash with a heavy chain, the exit right before us, taunting. So close, yet out of reach.”
It used to be but a whisper that clouded the mind, now it's a throat breaking, agonizingly painful scream, one never heard, never echoing, all flesh tearing.
A curse.
The last stand.

Hellsing x Castlevania Fanfic idea
Julius (Morris-)Belmont joins the HELLSING Organization. Part one
Julie's Belmont spent the beginning of his 19th year of Life job hunting
the war of demon Castle of 1999, (which is only months away by his families calculation) left him no time to have a normal life training with vampire killer and how to survive vampire attacks was his primary upbringing Aside from his American School life
Right now he was touring England (more like , bumming it through) looking for a job fit and only 19 years old it should be easy. And he found exactly the one
Tumblr media
H.E.L.L.S.I.N.G.
Her
Royal
England
Legions and
Legitimate
Supernatural
Immortal
Night
Guard
More commonly known as the Royal Order of Protestant Knight.
It was a quiet organization in the Anglican Church funded by the monarchy itself as a way to protect itself from supernatural forces most people don't know about it for good reason.
As the son of the Union between the Belmont clan and the Morris family it was very easy to recognize what the organization meant.(it's highly secretive organization but MI6 was willing to point out a Belmont in London, and leave enough clues to point a Belmont to the organization.
One of the biggest clues to what the organizations true intentions and purpose was simply looking at the true founders of the org.
Jonathan and Mina Harker
Jonathan Stewart
Abraham Van Helsing
Arthur homewood.
Quincy Morris(Julius's maternal ancestor)
Technically Julius could potentially join as a legacy to one of the founders and make easy money as a shareholder however that's not why he was there.
Julius wanted the experience. And he would get it in the Hellsing organization. But first he had to go to the leader herself in order to apply seeing as he was pretty young

You stupid mother fucker, You asshole arrogant fuck' Sir. Integra was beyond annoyed, Enrico Maxwell and A lot of those Iscariot really found a way to get on her nerve, But but alucard sending death threats to the Pope by carrier pigeon? That was just baffling.
Maxwell not a few minutes ago. (He had came to complain about the pigeons
She had stayed in that damn restaurant, reading all of bizarrely worded death threats the pope was sent..
She’ll give the man one credit. He knew how to write a death threat, A creative one. No two letter was the same.. She almost wondered jokingly, ‘was he the sole reason why the carrier pigeon industrie still survived? Preposterous.’
At that very moment, a new person had decided to make an entrance.
A man..
He looks rather young, couldn't have been more than early 20s...
The man
No, a more like boy walked in from the glass doors. interrupting her quiet contemplation of killing her own vampire.
His outfit was rather bizarre, compared to the Victorian cowboy of Alucard. Thiswas a regular cowboy, But for modern times giant coat.
The boy had a red bandana around his neck, really big cowboy boots, overcoat the dress vest All wrapped up in long brown dusty trench coat
how the hell did he get into this establishment?

Continued in part 2
Author's note (this is an outline I am trying to make for Tumblr )
But this is essentially three-part crossover between Bram stoker's Dracula, Hellsing and Castlevania
I am rewriting parts of the Hellsing Lore and Castlevania Lore that I don't care for (particularly Mina and her fate. Jonathan X Mina for life
Adding in Quincy's survival and his family continuing into the Morris clan
Making the Morris clan distinct from the Belmonts that acquired Vampire killer during the American Civil War) as opposed to being an offshoot.
