Bio:
TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL MANIPULATION.
Alucard is the only child to Dracula and his loving mother, Lisa. given his mother was human and his father was a vampire, this made Alucard a Dhampir to which he aged incredibly fast. what should have been fifteen years ended up with Alucard physically a young man though perhaps it does explain his rare occasions where he does act more like a incredibly spoiled teenager.
His life was filled with love and laughter, his mother was incredibly loving and his father was loving as well despite how often his father traveled around. It was really the life any child would have, a blissful little dream.
All that changed when the church had arrested his mother for witchcraft. Alucard was out to the village gathering ingredients his mother requested from him. She was a doctor who had fallen for Dracula after the two made a deal to learn more about the other. She would learn better medical science to save lives and she would teach him more about humans, the two fell in love and Alucard would come in shortly after.
Perhaps had he been home the moment the church arrived, he could have protected his mother against them but he knew his mother would never want him to hurt another human like that, he was still one of them after all.
Unable to stop the church nor save her, the church had burnt her at the stake for accusations of witchcraft. Alucard’s heart was shattered but he could not grieve for his father had gone insane immediately after.
His father, the powerful Dracula, vowed to kill all of humanity in revenge and even gravely injured Alucard when the Dhampir tried to stop him from making such a horrid mistake. He knew he couldn’t do this alone so he made the seekers come up with a legend of a knight, hunter and scholar to stop him.
Alucard is incredibly intelligent thanks to both his parents being incredibly smart people so he knew he would need a Belmont and a magician, even though Alucard knew all the Belmonts must surely be dead by now. He still held out hope, there must be a bastard or two out there surely? Alucard would shut himself away in one of his father’s abandoned lairs to keep himself safe and recover enough to fight his father again.
A bastard would show up, but it was trevor belmont who was the last living Belmont alive. He was legitimate of course, but Alucard was immaturely bitter about the idea of working with a vampire hunter. A seeker skilled in magic by the name of Sypha Belnades would join him as well. Alucard would be more friendly to her as she was much nicer and wasn’t part of a clan that killed his kind.
He would explain to them the full scope of the situation with Alucard vowing to kill his own father in order to save the humans that he knew were not all bad. All the while, Alucard knew he still couldn’t even grieve at the loss of one parent for he had to remain strong to kill the other.
After many long battles, the three of them would all work together brilliantly and their tight bond would then kill Dracula. In those final moments, Alucard saw his father’s regrets with one of his last words being “Lisa, i’m killing our boy. your greatest gift to me.” A part of Alucard wanted to spare him, he loved his father still and he wanted to believe in him.
Yet he knew that he would only go back to madness again, he knew his mother would want this if it meant his father wouldn’t be consumed by a blinded rage. His father had truly died the very moment his mother did, the man once known as Adrian had died that day as well. perhaps that was why he refuses to go by Adrian ever again, that boy died with his parents in that early morning of fire and screaming. Alucard would deal the killing blow and watched as his father died right in the bedroom his parents made just for him. The sight of his father reaching out to him and turning to dust traumatized Alucard to a point where it would certainly haunt his dreams forever.
Of course he would pretend to be fine, even flipping Sypha and Trevor off as a way to joke around while the two would leave to travel and kill the last of any leftovers of Dracula’s army. At least one thing would come out of this, his friendship with both of them. Sypha and Trevor would be the very first people Alucard would ever openly call his friends.
Alucard would vow to rebuild the Belmont estate and look after the knowledge in his father’s castle for any human to come in and learn about, but it was when he finally alone that he could grieve.
Losing both his parents he loved so much, Alucard collapsed in his father’s chair and sobbed for hours. all the while he would remember visions of his happiest childhood memories - from playing tag with his mother down the hall with her laughter filling the room to his father smiling proudly at him when Alucard would announce he read an entire book on a topic most children wouldn’t even comprehend.
Even if he is still grieving over the loss of both his parents, Alucard is currently living in his father’s castle in the woods. Perhaps as the centuries go by, he’ll leave the castle to go and collect more knowledge for both the Belmont’s and his father’s collection.
Personality-wise, Alucard is very wise and knowledgeable with at least some level of kindness though he is mostly very sarcastic with a dry wit to him. Perhaps a part of him is pessimistic simply because his own pain is still there, but he knows his mother would be furious to see him broken like that. He’s primarily a pessimist and does normally keep his guard up out of caution for anyone trying to harm him.
He learned that lesson long ago thanks to the hunters Sumi and Taka. They seemed kind and wanted to be vampire hunters, so Alucard opened his heart to them. He thought they were growing close, since he was naïve on reading people due to his isolated childhood and lonely existence as an adult, but the reality was that the two of them were using Alucard just to learn magic to kill vampires and leave without a second thought.
It all cultivated when they seduced Alucard one night, being his first experience with intimacy. In that moment, between the two of them, Alucard though they truly did love him and that he had found his first loves. Only for them to use enchanted silver where it wrapped around Alucard. Silver usually didn’t harm him, he did wear it on occasion when he wanted to look nice, but this silver was laced with some kind of spell to coil and burn at anyone with vampire blood.
Alucard was pinned down where the two of them told him that he was nothing but a liar and evil just like all the other vampires in the world. He tried to reason with them, to plea with them, only for them to try and plunge their daggers into his chest. Panicking as none of his powers were working against the silver, not even his ability to shape shift into a wolf or bat. He had even tried…the demonic form he heard a vampire can take, but it wouldn’t work. Scared of dying, Alucard figured his telekinesis ability worked and used his sword to slice them.
He was absolutely traumatized by the situation. He laid there, now free from the silver but his body burning in pain, for what felt like hours. When he felt mentally strong enough to move, all he could do was wrap a blanket around his waist and collapse into his childhood room where he sobbed for days on end.
This made Alucard even more depressed than he already was, putting their bodies on spikes and hoping to stay shut in and drinking himself to death. Until a village close by asked him for help. He wanted to say no and ignore it, but Alucard's foolish kindness couldn't stay away when he saw a man died to deliver that urgent information.
He comes to the village where he meets Greta, a woman who was the leader of the tiny village and helped Alucard in killing vampires and night creatures. To help the villagers, a man named Saint Germain insisted that Alucard take them to the castle. He originally didn't want to after what happened with Sumi and Taka, but seeing the faces of children recently orphaned by vampires and night creatures really changed his mind.
He helped them back and started to teach them how to prepare for a vampire and night creature attack. As much as he wanted to be on guard and quiet, Greta was kind and helped Alucard open up to the villagers. He especially got along with the children, playing with them and showing them his tricks as a half-vampire.
Yet one night they were quickly outnumbered, Alucard probably would've died had Trevor and Sypha not jumped through a portal when chasing someone else. The three of them were reunited and worked together to fight off the remaining creatures, finally finding what Saint Germain was really up to.
Saint Germain was going to fuse Dracula and Lisa's souls together to create a homunculus that could maneuver through the infinite corridor with ease. The very idea of it, of his mother and father stuck into a body and fused into one soul, was horrifying to Alucard. He felt sick and he couldn't even stop him, he had to watch as his mother and father screamed for help in their agony over this hodgepodge of a human body. He was just lucky that Trevor was able to free their souls, though Alucard didn't know that this actually ended up resurrecting his parents. Had Saint Germain not died, Alucard would've killed him for torturing the souls of his parents like that. Even now, the image of that creature makes him sick to his stomach.
Death had revealed itself. Alucard had long thought death was just a personified concept of real death, but it turns out Death was a whole creature. It was a being long before vampires, in fact it made vampires and his father had struck a deal with death centuries before he and his mother were born. Death wanted to bring back his father and make him run a blood thirsty rampage across the world as Death fed on the souls of the dead.
A creature that Alucard couldn't fight, he was only half vampire. How could he stop Death? Yet Trevor rose to that challenge. Trevor Belmont killed death, Alucard and Sypha believing he died in the process.
Two weeks later and Alucard is told by Sypha that she's pregnant with Trevor's child. He convinces her to stay, as he and Greta are going to turn the Belmont hold and his father's castle into a large village. The plan is to make it a capital city of sorts, where knowledge will be the biggest tool people face. She does agree to stay, and Alucard was offered to help her care for her child on the way.
Yet it turns out Trevor miraculously survived. Saint Germain had teleported Trevor away to safety before he died. A kind gesture, but Alucard still can't forgive him for what he did to his parents. Yet with Trevor and Sypha alive, they both decide to live in the new village with Alucard and Greta.
Alucard and Greta stayed together, having a child of their own that would eventually go on to create the Lecarde bloodline. He even made a spear for his first born child to pass down from generation to generation, so every new generation would know how to truly kill a vampire if they met one. Alucard and Greta would also adopt several orphaned children throughout the village, indeed he built a happy future for himself.
Although Trevor, Sypha, Greta and his children were all eventually gone from old age - Alucard found something new. He learned of hope. With this newfound hope, he helped keep the village expanding until today where it's a major city within Romania.
Yet Alucard still does not know his mother and father are alive. There were rumors that his father was still alive, his descendants theorizing it might've been a maniac pretending to be him.
In the modern world, Alucard is a university professor of history and science. Gaining a lot of money throughout the years, he also runs several charity organizations that help give proper funding to orphanages, hospitals with not enough funding, people who are struggling financially and building housing in areas that need it.
Alucard is often seen sulking somewhere alone with a drink in hand or quietly reading in a bookstore or library. He can be pessimistic, moody, socially awkward and arrogant. Yet his most defining traits are his kindness, sarcasm, wit and polite nature. He walks a balance of vampire and human, but he easily gives into his humanity rather than his vampire side.
