The Undead Four - Vampire Necromancers

Origin: (The undead four is a quartet of an ancient vampire necromancers that all specialize in their own way of fighting. They are not bound by any sort of romantic, family or friendship connection but they have proved themselves to be quite efficient team. On their own they all have weaknesses but together they have the potential to become an unstoppable force. Still despite them all being a vampires, they often quarrel).

Backstory of the Undead Four: (Brought together once again by Dragan - one of the old Dracula's generals - they are currently located in Dracula's castle. Originally they travelled here to perform a ritual in order to summon Dracula and his wife Lisa and put them in a Rebis - body that has features of both male and female. Unfortunately, they were stopped by Trevor Belmont - the last heir of a long vampire hunters dynasty -, Adrian "Alucard" Tsepes - son of the Dracula and dhampir - and Sypha Belnades - a speaker and one of the most powerful magicians on earth. Fortunately, they managed to survive and dislodge the vampire hunting trio from the territory of the castle but Dragan was now dead, vampire army destroyed and the ritual stopped. Now they are staying in the Dracula's castle trying to figure out what to do next).

General description of the Night Hunter: (He is a very skillful and nimble vampire warrior that specializes at working on close or medium range. He usually prefers to keep some distance with his enemy using multiple special magical darts that work as an acid and corrode everything they touch. By doing so, he can keep his opponents at safe distance and land a terrifying damage if his darts hit the target. Still if he has to work on a close range, the Night Hunter proves himself as a brilliant warrior using his claws to assault his enemy with quick and precise hits that are very hard to avoid).

Appearance of the Night Hunter: (He is a slim, well-built man who's face is always hidden behind the mask. He almost never takes it off but when he does, he appears to have a very sharp yet somehow tantalizing features. His gaze is almost always cold and detached but sometimes he allows himself a small smirk. He has a dark hair and pale skin. He also has very bright green eyes and for some reason always walks barefeet).

Best advantages of the Night Hunter: (His flexibility and speed allow him to dodge most part of the attacks that are brought upon him. It was shown that he is even able to dodge such unpredictable and fast weapon as a whip wielded by none other but Trevor Belmont himself - one of the strongest vampire hunters in history. Night Hunter also has a very strategic mind. He not only seeks to land as much damage as he can with his darts but he is also aiming at the weak spots trying to make his opponents vulnerable. For example, he deliberately stroke Belmont's hand in order to make him loose his grip on the whip and accidentally lose it).

Worst disadvantages of the Night Hunter: (He is not as good at close range as you might think. Of course, he has speed and strength of a vampire, great flexibility and sharp claws but he is not any kind of a martial artist. If it happens so that he has to fight in hand-to-hand combat, he would do his best to finish it as quickly as possible and retreat back to safe distance. He is also very vulnerable to magic - he simply has no tool to counter it and can only dodge spells that are thrown at him. But even with his great stamina and speed he can't dodge forever so if pushed to the corner, the Night Hunter would either die or seek aid from his comrades).

Equipment of the Night Hunter: (1. A steel mask of a teardrop shape that fits snugly to the face and hides his face. Also comes with the black hood. 2. White fur coat that slightly resembles crow's wings and is quite warm. 3. The medallion with a red stone that increases his regenerative abilities. 4. Black robe covered in golden strings on the torso, shoulders and wrists).

Special abilities of the Night Hunter: (1. Creating infinite amount of acid darts that glow with bright green although he can only create them in his hands so the created amount per second is limited by the amount he can hold in his hand which is three darts for each hand. 2. Levitating. 3. Advanced speed, reaction, power and stamina of the vampire).

Background of the Night Hunter: (His original name was Yura and he was born in 1124 in Romania which makes him 352 years old. His father was a merchant and his mother died while giving a birth to him. Having barely any connection with his father, Yura found himself company in his uncle who taught him how to fight and was also treating boy with kindness. He had also found himself a hobby - he was feeding and taming crows who he considered to be much more intelligent and interesting creatures than humans. One night the village was attacked by an ancient vampire who killed almost everyone including Yura's father. He offered the boy a choice - he could become a vampire or die. Yura didn't want to die so standing in the middle of a burning village he agreed to become a vampire.

A day after he visited his uncle seeking his approval. He told him that now he has the power that might just shape the world. But instead of cheers he was greeted by the crack of his uncle's teeth and accusations of Yura dealing with the devil. Pushed to the edge Yura had no other choice but to kill his uncle - the only person that ever cared about him. By doing so he cut off the only link to his humanity. Something cracked inside him that day. He abandoned his own name and decided to go under the nickname "The Night Hunter".

Next few centuries Yura was studying vampire magic and has eventually become an incredible warrior. He hates to talk about his past and now after so many years he can barely remember it. But deep inside he is still tormented by the shame and guilt that followed after his uncle called him an "abomination" and "betrayer". That trauma caused him to become a very cynical and closed person that prefers loneliness and avoids interacting with other vampires).

Relationship of the Night Hunter with the Lurking shadow: (The Night Hunter considers him a very dangerous person. Being himself rather a master of hand to hand combat, Night Hunter wouldn't like to ever get into the fight with magician because of obvious inability to fight magic. Still in circumstances where they have to work together, Night Hunter considers the Lurking Shadow one of the most powerful members of their quartet even though he avoids him and doesn't want to have anything with him).

Relationship of the Night Hunter with the Hell Doll: (Her magic fascinates the Night Hunter even though he thinks he would be able to take the Hell Doll down in a fight. They cooperate well together. The Hell Doll distracts and immobilize the opponents with her bone magic while the Night Hunter uses the opportunity to land as much damage on the opponent as possible. He doesn't despise the Hell Doll like he despises the Lurking Shadow. He is fond of her in his own way - in a parental way rather. He knows her backstory and can't help but to sympathize her even though he would never show that openly).

Relationship of the Night Hunter with the Witch of The Silk Walley: (She is the second member of their team Night Hunter feels some sort of a sympathy towards. He pities her and at the same time he is much impressed by her combat skills. Unlike two previous members of the team, he would actually like to fight her and make her his sparring partner because she is a warrior that works on close distance - just like him. He thinks she is a worthy opponent that could help him to become stronger and more skilled with his weapons and yet his strategic mind would rather prefer to cooperate with the Hell Doll since Night Hunter's cooperation with her proves to be more efficient).

General description of the Lurking Shadow: (An ancient vampire magician that uses big variety of spells to strike his enemies from distance or knock them out of the fight. He is not very good at close combat but his ability to fly and destructive spells allow him to mostly stay at the distance from his enemies and therefore avoid real danger. He is still very much vulnerable to physical attacks though so if caught off guard, he can be killed pretty quickly).

Appearance of the Lurking Shadow: (Under the hood he is a very thin old man with grey hair of medium length and dark grey skin. His eyes are completely white but he can still see. His hands are dark from effect of a purple flame. He looks like he was dried out and even though vampires can keep their youth forever, his magic twisted his appearance making him look older).

Best advantages of the Lurking Shadow: (Obviously, his magic which includes electroshock that works on the close distance, turning into fog, purple flames and fireballs that he uses to keep his enemies at distance and flying. He is a very dangerous opponent. If his magic gets the opponent, it's almost instant death since the power of his spells is incredibly high. He almost managed to kill Sypha Belnades in battle by paralyzing her with his electroshock but unfortunately was stopped by Trevor Belmont and almost got killed).

Worst disadvantages of the Lurking Shadow: (He is the worst in melee combat and at close range. He can, of course, turn into fog and avoid getting killed but he is not very fast so it still pretty much possible to catch him off guard with a sudden move or a very quick lunge. Despite being a vampire, he has a pretty weak body so it won't take much damage for him to die. So a very quick warrior that can dodge his spells is actually the worst type of enemy the Lurking Shadow can face).

Equipment of the Lurking Shadow: (1. Dark robe that covers all his body and his face too keeping it obscured by the hood most part of the time. 2. White bandages wrapped around his hand - probably to ease the pain from using especially dangerous spells like purple flames for example. 3. A big necklace with multiple round purple gems and one triangular gem in the middle - increases his mana that is used to form spells. 4. Purple string that goes around his waist and robe).

Special abilities of the Lurking Shadow: (1. Flying. 2. Creating massive pillars of purple flame. 3. Creating fireballs of purple flame. 4. Using red lighting on distance and on close range to paralyze his opponents. 5. Creating projectiles of purple flame that lock on the enemy and follow him until they reach the target or get destroyed by something. 6. Turning into the fog to avoid enemy's attacks).

Background of the Lurking Shadow: (He was born in 983 in the desert of the Egypt which makes him the oldest member of the Undead Four who's age is 493. Back then his name was Hotepth. Born as a slave he crawled his way to becoming a scribe. Knowledges were drawing him like moth to the flame and for his enthusiasm he was appreciated, noticed and taught how to write and read. Despite living a life of hardships, he didn't grow any sense of kinship with his family and abandoned them without a hint of remorse when he got the chance to become someone more.

At some point he has found an ancient tome that described the ritual that could teach him necromancy and turn him into a superior being. He sacrificed his master and the members of his own family including his father, his mother and younger brother. He ripped their skin alive and used their blood to summon the hell's magic that turned him into a vampire. He caused a mayhem in the Egypt but once faced the resistance of an army, was forced to hide and retreat.

Since then he was learning more and more magic seeking to become the most powerful vampire magician. He is an egoist and sadist that cares only about himself and would gladly stab his own comrades if that gives him any sort of gain).

Relationship of the Lurking Shadow with the Night Hunter: (He despises the Night Hunter just like everyone else. No, more than everyone else. This cocky aloof bastard insults the Lurking Shadow with his very presence but the Lurking Shadow has to admit that he wouldn't like to get in the fight with the Night Hunter since the winner in such case is hard to predict. In their quartet most of all the Lurking Shadow despises the Night Hunter. For better or worse, this hate is mutual).

Relationship of the Lurking Shadow with the Hell Doll: (He is... curious. Slightly. Not about this woman herself but about her magic and the way she discovered it. If he could, he would get rid off her and get her magic all to himself. But, unfortunately, he doesn't know how. Still he considers her temper and personality tolerable - mostly because she remains silent most part of the time and never argues with him. If has to, he would cooperate with her without grumbling. Almost).

Relationship of the Lurking Shadow with the Witch of the Silk Walley: (He is pretty amused. To think that someone like her would become so powerful all by herself seeking powers in the tragedy of her life... He doesn't pity her, of course not, but he shows her some form of respect. If their quartet would ever has to fight someone strong, he would seek to cooperate with the Witch of The Silk since her webs would be able to immobilize the enemy and make him vulnerable to the Lurking Shadow's spells).

General description of the Hell Doll: (She is the master of magic that created her own type of spells - bone magic. She can create a big amount of bones and use already existing bones around her to move them in any sort of directions or make them take a specific shape. She is still not very experienced with it but she practises a lot and experiments with her magic. She is still very vulnerable to physical attacks though but her ability to fly and block opponents by massive waves of bones keeps her safe most part of the time).

Appearance of the Hell Doll: (Very pale young woman with quite beautiful and youthful features. She is quite tall and her slender body would probably draw a lot of attention but she hides it under her robe. Her eyes are completely black yet she can still see. She has very thin soft lips and short dark hair that remain hidden by her hood most part of the time).

Best advantages of the Hell Doll: (She can manipulate bones of any amount in any way she wants. She can form walls to prevent her enemies from getting to her. She can push and hit them by turning bones into waves or pillars. She can in theory use bones as projectiles so multiple that they would be impossible to avoid. She is a very dangerous opponent and the uniqueness of her magic gives her a great advantage).

Worst disadvantages of the Hell Doll: (She can only manipulate the amount of bones she can create with her mana. Plus the bones from corpses around her. That is still a pretty big amount but if the opponent manages to destroy all bones around, she would become completely defenseless. She is just as vulnerable to physical attacks as the Lurking Shadow is so she wouldn't like to meet the opponent that would be able to get to her despite her magic. She can in theory damage her opponent with her sharp slaws but she is far from being anything dangerous in melee combat).

Equipment of the Hell Doll: (1. Black robe that covers completely her figure and is embroidered with purple fabric from the inside. The bottom of the robe is separated on many pieces as if the limbs of an octopus or hair. 2. Black costume that clings tightly to her skin and only ends at her toes leaving opened her pale feet. 3. Black leather bracers that protect her wrists and part of the arm. 4. Necklace with small rectangular steel plates that serve to protect her neck and give her additional mana to create magic even though they are not as efficient as the gems the Lurking Shadow has).

Special abilities of the Hell Doll: (1. Manipulate bones of any kind of creatures around her. 2. Create bones by using her magic. 3. Use bones as projectiles. 4. Create pillars of bones to hit her enemies. 5. Create waves of bones to wash over her enemies. 6. Create walls of bones to protect herself or push the opponent. 7. Flying).

Background of the Hell Doll: (She is the youngest member of the Undead Four that was born in Wallachia in 1393 which makes her a pretty young 83 years old vampire. Her original name was Lily and she was born in the village far from the centre of the country. She only had her mother who was the witch of the village. Lily's mother was a weak magician that sought to help people. She saw the magical talent in Lily and tried her best to teach the daughter to use it.

One day Lily showed a trick she learned to a girl who was her only friend but accidentally hurt her. Upset she ran to the forest and cried for hours. When she returned, she smelled the fire. The villagers encouraged by church and angered at Lily and her mother burnt the house with Lily's mother inside. Lily was terrified and tried to make them listen to reasons, to beg them that she didn't mean to hurt her friend. The villagers did not listen. They tied her to the tree in the middle of the forest and cut off her eyes because they believed otherwise she would curse them.

Bleeding, tied up and grieving Lily spent two long days at that tree cursing herself for all that happened. She didn't blame her friend even though that betrayal was the most painful in her life. At some point a travelling vampire encountered her and decided to take pity on Lily by killing her. When his hand tightened around her throat, she felt a sudden rush of adrenaline that caused her to accidentally use her magic and use the bones of a dead rabbit to scratch vampire's hand. Amused, he decided to make Lily a vampire and release her.

After becoming a vampire, Lily has regained her vision even though her eyes remained completely black. She did not take vengeance on the villagers even though she wanted to and instead left the village to travel. For years she has been practicing in necromancy and bine magic she created but because of a young age she is still not very experienced).

Relationship of the Hell Doll with the Night Hunter: (Her cold soul feels slightly drawn to him. The Night Hunter is a man of a few words but each one of them speak volumes. The Hell Doll likes his voice for some reason. If possible, she would try to become his friend. After all, even in the hostile and dangerous world of vampires there is still a room for friendship and trust. Perhaps she is a bit too naive to believe in that. But the very fact that the Night Hunter treats her with a slight respect and doesn't seek conflict with her is already enough to make her believe in the possibility of cooperation).

Relationship of the Hell Doll with the Lurking Shadow: (She is slightly afraid of him and is extremely hostile towards him. She knows that a man like him always seeks knowledges and that he would stop at nothing to get them. She will cooperate with him if necessary but in all other situations she would avoid him at any cost. Because she knows exactly how dark and cruel the soul of the Lurking Shadow is and doesn't want to have anything with him).

Relationship of the Hell Doll with the Witch of The Silk Walley: (Her heart years for that woman in a way the Hell Doll never expected to. She sympathizes the Witch but at the same time she feels something else. Something that makes her cold heart beat slightly faster. Is that love? Doubtful. Rather interest - pure interest. And yet the Hell Doll can't help but to think... If she tries to break the walls the Witch of The Silk Walley built around her heart, would she be able to touch her soul? After all, they are not so different).

General description of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (She is a master of a spear that uses her signature weapon that somehow resembles black needle with the web she creates. She entangles her silk strings around her enemies to make them vulnerable to her hits or to slam them against other surfaces around her. She is a brilliant warrior on both medium and short distances but she has nothing to offer on long range).

Appearance of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (A fierce and confident woman with long red hair that stream down her shoulders. Her eyes are purple and her pupils are surrounded with a complete darkness. She has very long and sharp nails and her fingers are red as if covered in blood. She has a slim yet pretty athletic body).

Best advantages of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (She is almost as fast as the Night Hunter and just as accurate. Her every hit is aimed to either kill or weaken her opponent and her silk strings that are very hard to break remain invisible until put around her enemies. She is a very dangerous foe that almost killed the Alucard - the son of Dracula, dhampir and the strongest member of the vampire hunters trio - by tying him up with her web and trying to pierce his heart with her double-side spear).

Worst disadvantages of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (Just as the Night Hunter, she is vulnerable to magic but, oh boy, that would be very hard to get her with it. Still her cocky nature and arrogance often put her in danger. Her overconfidence blinds her and makes her underestimate her opponents. She is a good fighter but against equally good enemy she might lose just because she doesn't expect them to be anything special which is why she often lowers her guard when it is exactly the time to raise it).

Equipment of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (1. Old grey dress with holes in the shoulders area, completely torn off left sleeve and damaged part of the left side that leave her hip open. 2. Strings of her own web that cover her legs and arms at some places. 3. String that goes from her bottom lip to the higher one. 4. A special two-sided black spear each tip of which resembles needle and has a middle handler with red fabric wrapped around it. Despite looking thin, it is pretty durable and extremely light).

Special abilities of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (1. Using her silk web to fly around the place by wrapping it around trees or walls. 2. Creating extremely durable silk strings that can wrap around her opponents and paralyze them - it was shown that even Alucard being extremely powerful dhampir couldn't escape her web. 3. Advanced strength, speed, reflexes and stamina of a vampire. 4. Using her web to manipulate her two-sided spear in order to make it move as if on it's own).

Background of the Witch of The Silk Walley: (Aria was born in 1285 which makes her a 191 years old vampire in the India in a settlement that used to sell the most beautiful and durable silk in the whole country. The Silk Walley was an independent settlement ruled by her mother and father who were the elders of the village. But one day an arrogant ruler decided to force them to submit. He brought his reign to the Silk Walley by forcefully taking Aria as his wife even though she was just sixteen years old and took her away.

Of course, there was no love in this marriage. The ruler thought of Aria as a barbarian with intellect of the dog and he treater her according to this vision. He put her in cage with corpses of her parents and Aria having no other choice had to eat her own parents to simply survive. For better or worse, the advisor of this ruler noticed her and fascinated by her survival instinct offered her a deal. He would turn her into a vampire and release her from the cage and in return she would become his servant.

Aria took the deal. The vampire advisor didn't realise what he brought upon himself until a blood fog covered Aria's eyes and she entered the blood rage. Furious she killed both vampire, the ruler of the palace and everyone who was on her way including soldiers, concubines of the ruler and his two children. Terrified by the consequences of her rage, Aria left the country. Her vengeance was finished and now she wanted to just disappear.

Eventually Aria has found her purpose in necromancy and battle art. She was a vampire after all so she had all time in the world to become a better version of herself. Cocky and confident she learned how to use the art of a web weaving in the fight and created her own weapon. She is starved for adrenaline, for thrill of the battle and yet some small part of her she keeps hidden most part of the time yearns for real connection. Deep inside she is still the girl that had everything she ever loved taken away from her and in that memory she finds the strength to fight with fury that almost crosses the line of madness).

Relationship of the Witch of The Silk Walley with the Night Hunter: (She likes him. In a way. He is strong, flexible and focuses on melee combat - just like her. If she ever gets the chance to fight him, she would gladly take it. Apart from that, she is not very interested. He is just another man and just another vampire).

Relationship of the Witch of The Silk Walley with the Lurking Shadow: (He is an asshole but, hey, she's not perfect too. She doesn't really like him but she can respect the way he works with his magic. She can recognize the magic talent if she sees it, she's not dumb. Would she like to ever fight him? No, because she would probably lose. Would she like to see his ass getting kicked by someone else - the Night Hunter for example? Hell yeah).

Relationship of the Witch of The Silk Walley with the Hell Doll: (She is... not sure. This pale woman with the doll face somehow draws her attention. And yet she is completely different - almost opposite to the things the Witch usually likes. She enjoys adrenaline, likes to play with her prey, likes blood and fight. She is blunt, brutal and confident. While the Hell Doll is peaceful, quiet and unapproachable. The Witch of the Silk Walley likes to be in her presence. But she is too afraid to admit it and therefore is too afraid to imagine this connection becoming something more).
