Hcs off modern Castlevania chars? Like jobs/friends & stuff

Ask: Hcs off modern Castlevania chars? Like jobs/friends & stuff

A/N: In this, most people are living sort of happily ever after. Does that make them OOC, yes it does. Do I care? No, I don’t.

👷‍♂️ Modern-Day Castlevania Headcanons: Jobs 👩‍⚕️

I see Trevor as something of a detective/cop, but I don’t think he’d be down with working for the system. Being a P.I. or an independent security contractor of some sort would probably suit his personality better. He’s the cool kinda punk that strikes fear into the hearts of violent bigots but is also somehow seen as a safe adult to little kids. Which he doesn’t mind. He finds it useful that only those hiding something or guilty of something see him as a threat. He’s not the best with kids, but he’s nice enough to them. He was on his own a lot from a very young age- definitely a latch-key kid- so he feels a fair share of protectiveness when it comes to them.

Sypha strikes me as a natural protector/nurturer, so maybe a preschool/grade-school teacher or physical therapist? She loves learning and sharing that knowledge with others. I can absolutely see her leading workshops related to whatever it is she’s chosen to have a career in. And she’s great with everyone- adults, kids, seniors, animals- you name it, they love Sypha. (Except for assholes and Karens of course.)

Alucard is introverted by nature, and also a lifelong student like Sypha. He’s also the inheritor/keeper of his father’s money and his mother’s wisdom. For that reason, I see him as a History or Anthropology Professor- at the college level and above. Maybe even an eventual department head. He’s very serious, and doesn’t have the demeanor for working with children or amateurs; he wants to teach people who are just as committed as he is to what they’re learning. His whole life he feels like his purpose is greater than what it currently is, and because of that, he’s never quite content with the life he’s living. He feels like something or someone is missing from his journey.

I think the three of them would become friends eventually, but one like one of those friend groups that makes absolutely no sense to people outside it. Like, you wouldn’t expect a rough and tumble cop-hating anarchist, a feisty, yet kind-hearted physical therapist, and a tall skinny history academic to be besties, yet there they are.

Maybe they’d meet at a conference somewhere. Like a wellness convention/conference is taking place at Alucard’s college, Sypha’s a prominent speaker (ah! pun not intended) there, and Trevor’s company is providing extra security.

Maybe there’s some kind of snafu, and there’s like an assailant loose on campus or something. Trevor’s chasing the guy, but Alucard sees him coming and decides he’ll help out and head the bad guy off. But in the end, the two men are beaten to the quick by Sypha, who stops the guy in the most impressively timed frisbee toss they’ve ever seen. The two men insist on talking Sypha out for coffee- and getting to know her, because, let’s be honest, who wouldn't want to be friends with Sypha? The three of them get to talking and the rest is history.

Dracula is someone who just has power- he doesn’t have to amass it, it just naturally comes to him. He’s the type to gather fortune and invest it in a bunch of different properties and revolutionary pharmaceutical investment opportunities. He’s the Big Guy in the Chair. And then he just sort of, fucks off to his mansion to do whatever he wants. He’s a recluse- he deems human interaction pointless and unnecessary as a man of his stature. Who needs to leave the house when you can just pay people to do everything for you? He’d much rather be alone anyway. Of course that all changes when he meets Lisa.

Lisa, similar to her nature in the show, would be a physician of some sort. I could see her being especially interested in women’s medicine or infectious disease as it disproportionately affects those in need, and she has a very strong internal sense of justice. Maybe she seeks out Vlad because he’s the big cheese CEO of a pharmaceutical company that’s publicly refusing to lower the cost of a specific drug that would revolutionize her patients’ care. She’d find out where he lived, bang on his door, and demand he lower his profit margins right now. Of course, no one has ever had the balls to say such a thing to his face before, and Drac falls in love pretty much instantly.

The two of them are a power couple: he still maintains so much fortune and sway, but his partnership with Lisa makes him see ways to use it for good. He starts charities and fundraisers- he shocks the wealthy world by going rogue- and gives away most of what he earns instead of hoarding it. And it’s no secret it’s thanks to Lisa.

Now Hector: I know everyone headcanons Hector as being a veterinarian, but for me, I think it makes more sense for him to be a mortuary or a medical examiner. He’s lovely with his pets, but at the same time, I don’t think he has the stomach to do what vets have to do. Vets have to talk to owners and their families and be personable and bright. He sees his pets as possessions, not family members. So a job where it’s just him and no one else- no crying kid or elderly companion to reassure would be better suited for him.

Hector is naturally inquisitive- a trait we saw even when he was imprisoned, so I think being a medical examiner would be very rewarding to him. He’d find it invigorating, to get down the truth of a mysterious death or shocking murder. And because he’s not squeamish, he’d be very clear and articulate presenting information on the stand.

Issac’s big thing throughout the series is loyalty and personal growth. S2 Isacc and S4 Issac are very different people. So I’m basing this more on S4 Isaac. I think he’d benefit in a position of some power, but also of some charity. Maybe as a politician or a professional lobbyist. He advocates for causes he believes are just and does not shy away from verbal confrontation when it comes to hashing out right vs. wrong.

I could see this being the way he meets Vlad and Hector. If some sort of tragedy or panic happened, and a large emergency medical response was involved, I could see Isacc propositioning Dracula for donations, in exchange for dinner and a chance to sway his mind about a certain political vote. Hector would be on the other end of that tragedy, dealing with those who lost their lives. Perhaps Issac seeks out Hector as a form of outreach, to prove he is committed to what he says he stands for. He connects Hector with Dracula, and the three of them find they’re all rather pleasant company compared to the majority of the unremarkable humans out there. They can all look death in the face and feel no fear. They don’t do bullshit, and they get along well because of it.

Greta: Paramedic, also teaches first aid and CPR classes on the side.

Hector: Veterinarian that also volunteers religiously at an animal shelter.

Castlevania Trio + Greta, Dracula, Lisa Hector, Issac with a S/O that's a famous chef that likes to make hyper realistic cakes in their freetime and post them online. What would their reactions be.

Ohmygod 🤣🤣 I love this

Adrian “Alucard” - sneaks in to your studio to watch you prep at times (or steal a bite 😋) and asks the most mundane questions because he likes seeing you excitedly explain it to him

Trevor - as many times as he’s watched your shows, his mind is still blown. Even when you did a “true or false” display on what’s cake or real.

Sypha - hype gf all the way! Her favorite was the one you did in a warehouse, full-sized cannon cake that could actually shoot fireworks

Greta - she loved the “jewelry display” one that you did for a show, commenting on how realistic the designs were (drawn by you with a toothpick)

Dracula and Lisa - oh they are hyped to see you work! Always commenting, wanting to be your test crowd before live shows.

Isaac - is VERY impressed by your craft and always makes time to listen to your sessions, soothed to how you explain the cake process

Hector - you got a text in the middle of your live streaming saying “why did you cut the dog one?? 😭”. The uncanny resemblance to Little Cezar got to him for a second

Probably one of the most important side characters in NPC/Araknos family doctor, and a central character in the spin-off story in the same universe, The Mage and the Mobster.

Name: Angus Belmont

Age: 37

Blood Sage Warlock with dragonic heritage

Occupation: Doctor/ A "Shadowless"

Family: little sister Franziska, foster kid Clover formerly known as Oliver Blanc

Friends: Jurou Araknos/Blackthorne (Angus is his family doctor). Amalia Marek, a fellow Shadowless. Chester Knight/Azul Samaros, a former classmate/rival (this is a complicated friendship, where Azul is actually quite important for his personal story arc/in a way his closest friend, but they still kinda butt heads), DIojas Vermonte. The Vasile family.

Rival: Chester Knight Alias Azul Samaros

(Ex) Love interest: Vincent/Vince/Vee DeVos (A plague demon)

Current love interest (post main story): Lucas Arkwright (human)

Abilities:

As a blood mage, Angus has the ability to manipulate other people's mind and bodies either by touching them, or sometimes just looking at them in the eyes if the person is vulnerable enough or consents to it. He can also use his own blood to form weapons such as blades, whips and even shields. He can ALSO use other people's blood for the same purpose.

Angus has one special ability that is thought to be lost form of blood sage magic; a very special rune called Mind Prism that was thought lost to ages, given it was considered too dangerous to be used ever since its creation, and became forbidden knowledge. This symbol allows him to trap people inside their own minds, into a nightmare that they cannot wake up from, until the chosen amount of time runs out. Another insidious part of this spell is, that the affected person cannot die until they wake up, even if their body withers away. Their soul will remain trapped within their corpse until the time is up. The spell can also be used to trap a large number of people at once.

Angus does also know the equally near forgotten way to reverse the spell. He in fact, mainly uses the reversal spell if he runs into rare cases of someone having fooled around with this forbidden magic, not knowing what they were doing. He has only used the trapping spell itself twice in his life.

His dragonic heritage means that the shapeshift ability his kind have is a bit more advanced, where he can shapeshift much more than average blood mage, but only in one specific way; he can turn his bodyparts into dragon-like things, such as summoning wings, morphing his hands into claws, tough dragon like scaly skin, etc. He has a special form as well, that his friends have dubbed "Angel" because he looks like some horrifying demonic angel figure in it with wings and a halo.

He has some knowledge of nature magic as well, a necessity to learn after taking Clover in. It is also useful for his job as a doctor as he knows healing spells and potions that can be useful for more difficult cases

He is capable of undoing lot of dark magic curses and seals, thanks to having studied them and how they work a lot. This has also proven useful in both of his jobs, such as healing a patient suffering from a curse, or countering one thrown at him by his target as a Shadowless.

Personality:

Angus seems like calm and collected man, who comes off a bit cold and overtly logical scientist type. While he's quite closed off and doesn't have time for small talk usually, he is ultimately a caring person who takes his job seriously, both as a doctor and a foster parent. He has a rather dry and sometimes dark sense of humor, and is known to be intimidating to many patients, but also really good at his job. You generally do not dare to be a difficult, nasty asshole with Dr. Belmont. In truth he is hyper-aware of how people view him due to his past, and actually is far more patient than people truly realize.

Because of his background, Angus does have a darker, more vindictive side that he struggles to keep in check, and it tends to come out a lot more in his other job, where he can be borderline sadistic. Angus can also be extremely petty and overtly harsh in situations involving even slight harm or discomfort when it comes to his sister or adoptive kid.

Post main story, his negative traits do mellow out, and due to his somewhat healed self-esteem, Angus stops worrying over what people think too much, allowing himself to be much blunter and threatening if he wants to be. He is also bit more open about how he feels about things than what he used to be.

Weaknesses:

Angus' mental state isn't the best due to his low self-esteem, and he often feels like he's on the edge of snapping and doing something bad if pushed hard enough. He is in a way aware and afraid of his own darker side, and the nasty traits his toxic friendship with Vee created.

He tends to view himself as a bit of a monster, which is why he doesn't like letting people too close to him. He doesn't like showing his weakness, be it physical or emotional, which tends to lead a lot of exhaustion, both physical and mental. He gets better at this post main-story, but tends to still be difficult to socialize with.

BG STORY

The Belmont family was a well-known old mage family line known from being "chimeraic" I.E having all sorts of heritage among it, resulting in a lot of unexpected and peculiar magic abilities with the members. They lived in Switzerland, when the siblings were born. The family had not wanted to move to live in the "realm of the beasts" as they called the Mirror Realm, thinking they belonged among humans instead, although did look down on non-magic wielders.

Much to their dismay, neither child possessed the kind of magic they'd hoped: Franziska had awakened her cat sith ancestry, limiting her transformation ability to just one type and thus making her seem weak and useless in her parents' eyes. Angus in turn was born with something utterly bizarre, something they feared and couldn't understand as they had no saved record of such magic in their bloodline.

Their childhood was rather difficult as a result: Franziska was treated as useless, and Angus was seen as a freak of nature by his parents. Both hid their "abnormal" features even at home (out and about was understandable, because humans would've become suspicious and confused), as neither parent wanted to see their so-called "failure." Angus still studied his bizarre magic secretly, and managed to find out what it was exactly, learning to control it better slowly.

Then, when the two were teenagers, an incident happened in their house where an argument broke between Franziska and their father, with his mother trying to step in to stop it worried people outside would notice, which resulted in his father accidentally killing her with his fire magic. He blamed Franziska for her death in his rage, attempting to kill her too now.

Angus stepped in at that point upon seeing what was happening, and used the Mind Prism rune spell he'd recently learned, without really understanding what it did. This essentially caused him to accidentally kill his father by trapping his mind into a dangerous nightmare state, which gave him a heart-attack as he was already agitated.

The now-orphaned siblings ended up running away from home after this incident and setting the house ablaze, finding their way to the Mirror Realm where they were taken in by the Witch Covenant, a sub-section of the grand Arcane Council handling the matters of magic wielders of the world.

The life with the covenant was better, but people were still afraid of Angus' power due to its rarity. It also attracted something to him, a young Plague Demon called Vincent (or Vee) who revealed to him his magic originated from his created, the Herald of Pestilence. The two became friends, but unknowingly to Angus, Vee was becoming a toxic influence to him, making him cause chaos and havoc in the university they both went in. The two became quite notorious, until another student started to openly oppose them, a young Dark arts Warlock called Chester Knight. The trio kept clashing for the next two years, up until Vee's actions resulted in genuine near deaths to some students, which, alongside Franziska's concerns, made Angus realize what he was turning into. After Vincent was expelled and ran before he could be brought before the Overshadower Council (Group that handled matters of dark beings) Angus stopped his destructive behavior.

He was put on probation instead of being expelled, partially because he hadn't been directly involved in the incident and had actually tried to stop Vincent, partially because his rival's father, Lionel, spoke for him for some reason, and took him under his wing, mentoring him through rest of his studies. This did make things tense given the man was his rival's father, but after the first few months the pair just started ignoring each other essentially.

Sometime after he got his license and began to practice as proper doctor, Angus came across a young child patient who was clearly stuck in an abusive situation. being reminded of their own home life, Angus ends up observing his parents, eventually letting the Witch Covenant know about the horrible experiments the pair was doing to the boy. He also ended up essentially stealing the boy from his "parents," sensing he didn't have time to wait for a response from the Covenant.

In the end, the Covenant manages to jail the boy's "mother," whereas his sperm donor ends up trying to come and forcibly take the boy back, ending up dead just like Angus' father, though this time the action was more deliberate. After all this, The Covenant decides to let little Konjou stay with him, as the boy himself wanted to and his volatile powers would've destabilized and caused harm if he was forcibly removed from the space he'd now deemed safe. It was initially supposed to be just temporary until Konjou - now going by Clover - stabilized enough, but the boy ended up staying with them for good.

While he had managed to hide the death of his father, and the manner of death for Clover's biological father, someone eventually found out. He was approached by a young fae woman working for a man called Kenzo Yoma, who was the leader of a secretive but important organization in their new home realm, a group called The Shadowless.

He was essentially given a choice - an indirect threat posed as a job offer - of joining the ranks to work on keeping the Mirror realm hidden from humans, or people potentially learning of his usage of a forbidden ancient rune. Angus decided to accept the offer, as long as he was allowed to still work as a doctor.

The Shadowless extra info:

Their current head is Kenzo Yoma/Faydream, a Dream eater: he doesn't go to the field (anymore) but rather handles the communication and assigns the missions to whichever Shadowless he thinks is most suitable.

The uniforms for Shadowless are typically the similar, with just some minor adjustments for personal accommodation, such as him having his shoulder-bits open for his dragonic spines.

The uniforms are usually either black with red accents, or red with black accents.

The color typically indicates if the Shadowless is primarily an Investigator (Black), or a Hunter (Red). (The Investigators are also the ones with hoods, so Angus's primary job is intelligence gathering/tracking people down even if he can fight well.)

The masks all have the same Shadowless symbol.

They are generally seen as a fearsome group by the citizens, but also understood as important for everyone's safety.

They actually rarely execute their target, normally the person is either arrested, have their magic revoked/privilege to visit human realm revoked for a period of time, or in some rare cases just get off with a warning.

They ONLY handle things relating to human realm and keeping balance, not any everyday crimes within Mirror World.

Fun Facts:

The only people who know he is a Shadowless (technically illegally, this is typically forbidden knowledge outside The Shadowless themselves) outside his comrades are Jurou, Clover, his crazy ex-friend/fuckbuddy Vincent, Azul Samaros/Chester Knight and Angus' sister Franziska.

He does mention this to Lucas as well later, though Lucas has no clue what all that means, being an outsider.

His magic power originates from The Herald of Pestilence, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This is why his magic type is considered Warlock magic specifically in this story, as not only is it useful for combat, but technically it originated by making a deal with a powerful entity. Angus did not do it directly himself, but it still counts.

Angus does kind of hate his second job because it caters to his darker tendencies that he tends to try and desperately keep in check for his day-to-day life. It is too tempting to allow himself to go beyond certain lines as Shadowless, because he'd get away with it....

Angus is aromantic bi, which is why he never really considered his relationship with V romantic, and nowadays just sees it as a toxic thing he's kind of ashamed of, especially given the things V coaxed him to do.

In turn, while he also doesn't harbor romantic attraction towards Lucas, he does grow very fond of him in other ways, and given Lucas is the only one he eventually let's physically close, it's pretty clear to everyone what kind of role the himbo human plays in his life.

His style is best described as "Casual with lot of black."

Angus does have a more demonic looking Blood sage form that is much more influenced by his dragonic heritage, but this one tends to only appear if he loses grip on himself and starts acting unhinged. (Post main story he learns to control it better, this is the "Angel" referred to before)

While people don't know that Angus can perform the forbidden spell, there are rumors that his Alter Ego Scarlet Drake can use it, which further makes him one of the most feared Shadowless despite not even being a Hunter.

While they were bitter rivals, later on Azul becomes that one person Angus tends to actually be more open and vulnerable around, because unlike everyone else, he feels like Azul always means what he says, and isn't saying certain things just to make him feel better. He does also get along with Azul's boyfriend quite well.

Did you know:

Argeș is the name of a Romanian county located in what used to be Wallachia. It is also the name of a river. As for a town or city, there is Curtea de Argeș located in the Fagaraș Mountains, so this could be the Argeș Sypha mentions in this episode. It’s also a 30 minute drive (about 5 hours on foot) from Poenari Citadel, a castle that was once used by Vlad III Dracula. Since these three reach the Belmont Estate in the very next episode, and Poenari Citadel was once ‘Dracula’s Castle,’ and considering the final resting place of Alucard’s castle in the series, my guess is Trevor’s old home is somewhere in Argeș County and close to Poenari Citadel. It’s not a perfect theory; it has holes: Poenari Citadel is sitting on top of a mountain and can only be accessed by a stairway that’s over 1400 steps. Morevoer, the real Dănești is nowhere near Argeș County. (In fact, it’s not even in Wallachia. It’s in Transylvania, which was a separate nation at the time.)

Still, I think it’s a nice thought.

If correct, though, the Danube River forms the southern border of Romania (and historical Wallachia.) The distance between it and Argeș County are roughly 120 miles apart north to south according to modern roadways, so our boy had a long way to walk before the horse picked him up. No wonder it took him two whole weeks.

Castlevania with trio, Hector, Issac, and Greta. It's modern times and their S/O has a pool in their luxury condo. And the Castlevania cast for some reason thought that the water was drinkable.

Oh nooo 🤣😅

OT4 - Trevor, Sypha, Alucard and Greta

Maybe it was rare have bodies of water to relax in, as water is mostly used for necessities, so it’s a bit of a modern-day shock for them that you can just swim and relax in this body of water. Although, it is safe to say that Trevor would take advantage of the pool and just go crazy with it. Splashing, cannonballs, etc.

It goes down to a game of chicken with everyone

Isaac and Hector

I feel like they would have a slight surprised reaction but gladly accept a little R&R with you, and just float around in said pool. Feeling refreshed and calm as the water carries them.
