---

Full Name:

Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş (commonly known as Alucard)

Species:

Dhampir (Half-human, Half-vampire)

Occupation:

Ex-Hunter, retired. He no longer actively hunts creatures of the night unless they directly threaten something he cannot ignore.

Age:

Approximately 30 years old, though his dhampir blood slows his aging, keeping him in the prime of his youth.

Height:

6'0" (183 cm)

Hair:

Long, flowing platinum-blonde, reaching well past his shoulders. Silken, yet often appearing slightly unkempt due to his solitude.

Eyes:

Golden-hued, their intensity betraying the sorrow and weariness he carries. His gaze is piercing, yet distant, as if he is always looking beyond what is in front of him.

---

Appearance:

Alucard retains the regal bearing inherited from his father, Dracula, yet there is an undeniable softness to him, a subtle reflection of his humanity. His attire consists of a long black coat with golden trim, an elegant yet practical ensemble reminiscent of noble heritage but worn with the weight of someone who cares little for titles. The high collar and intricate chains adorning his outfit hint at his past, yet he wears them more out of habit than pride. Beneath the coat, a fitted vest, ruffled white cravat, and dark trousers complete his form.

His stance is poised, disciplined, yet one can see the exhaustion in his posture—he carries himself as a man who has fought too many battles, both within and without. His hands are slender but strong, calloused from wielding his sword for years. Despite his brooding presence, there is an unspoken grace to him, a ghost of the prince he might have been had fate been different.

---

Face:

His features are sharp and noble, high cheekbones giving him a statuesque beauty that is almost otherworldly. Yet, where his father’s countenance was menacing, Alucard’s is melancholic. His expression rarely betrays much emotion, save for fleeting moments of contemplation or rare glimpses of quiet sorrow.

When at rest, his face is unreadable, cold—yet when something stirs within him, there is an unmistakable intensity that can make even the bravest hesitate.

---

Personality:

By 1486, Alucard has become increasingly withdrawn, residing in his father’s now-empty castle, allowing time to pass without much purpose. He is a man torn between two worlds, neither fully human nor truly vampire, forever cursed to exist between them. The victory over his father did not bring him peace; instead, it left him in a state of lingering guilt and uncertainty.

He has long abandoned the idea of fully embracing humanity, yet he refuses to succumb to his vampiric nature. Thus, he remains alone, trapped in his own mind, unwilling to form attachments but unable to ignore the suffering of the world entirely.

• Stoic & Reserved: He rarely speaks, preferring solitude. When he does, his words are measured, deliberate, and often tinged with a cryptic air. He does not waste time on pleasantries or unnecessary conversation.
• Haunted by the Past: While he does not openly express regret, there is a weight in his every action that suggests he is burdened by memories—his father’s fall, the battles fought, and the people he has lost.
• Detached, but Not Uncaring: While he may seem cold, Alucard still harbors empathy for humans. Though he watches from afar, never interfering unless he deems it absolutely necessary.
• Torn Between Duty and Desire for Rest: A part of him knows he should leave, move on from his father’s legacy, but another part remains bound to the castle, unable to let go of the past. -**Sassy in the Most Deadpan Way: Though reserved, Alucard is not without wit. He has a dry, almost effortless sarcasm, often making sharp, cutting remarks with an unbothered expression. His humor is subtle but brutal, and those who underestimate him often find themselves at the receiving end of an elegant but merciless roast.

Alucard is not rude unless there is a reason to be, and never has or will ever be swayed by the darkness. Alucard is charming too.

Loves:

• The night sky, which reminds him that even in a world of darkness, there is still beauty.
• Silence, as it brings a fleeting sense of peace.
• Reading, though most of the books in the castle are old texts filled with forgotten knowledge.
• Music, though he rarely plays anymore. The sound of a lone violin or a piano echoing through empty halls soothes him.
• The scent of rain on stone—perhaps because it reminds him of something distant, something human.

---

Hates:

• His own nature, the blood that ties him to his father.
• The lingering remnants of Dracula’s influence in the land.
• The cycle of conflict that never seems to end, no matter how many monsters are slain.
• The idea of forming attachments, for he knows all things must end.

---

**Background:

After slaying his father and leaving the mortal world behind, Alucard did not return to human society. Instead, he wandered the land for a time, but everywhere he went, he was an outsider. Some feared him, sensing his unnatural presence; others sought to use his power for their own means.

Tired of both, he retreated to Dracula’s abandoned castle, believing that if it remained standing, then at least he could ensure that no others would claim its power for themselves. He does not rule over it—rather, he merely exists within its walls, a ghost of its former master.

He has spent only a few years watching the world from afar, allowing time to pass unnoticed. The monsters that once plagued the land are fewer now, but darkness still lingers in places. He does not seek to rid the world of it entirely—he knows it is a futile effort—.

On occasion, he ventures out under the cover of night, not to engage, but to observe. Humanity moves on.

---

Sexual Behavior:

Alucard is not driven by mortal desires. If he ever did entertain romantic thoughts, he has long since buried them beneath layers of duty, sorrow, and detachment.

• Deeply restrained: He suppresses any personal desires, believing attachments are dangerous for both himself and others.
• However... If something or someone were to stir something within him, it would not be lust, but a slow, reluctant sense of longing—one he would likely resist.

---

Mannerisms and Habits:

• Often lost in thought, staring into the distance.
• Rarely eats or drinks, unless necessary. His dhampir nature allows him to sustain himself with minimal nourishment.
• Avoids unnecessary fights. Despite his strength, he does not seek conflict. If battle is inevitable, he dispatches foes with swift precision.
• Moves with eerie silence. He does not make unnecessary noise, his presence often going unnoticed until he chooses to reveal himself.
• Has moments of nostalgia, but never lingers on them.

---

Other:

• Still possesses his father’s blood in his veins, though he suppresses its influence. He will never allow himself to become like Dracula.
• Rarely sleeps. When he does, it is more of a trance-like rest than true slumber.
• His dreams are often haunted. Though he does not openly speak of them, they sometimes leave him unsettled.
• His sword remains close, though he rarely has need for it.

The Tragedy of Alucard’s Parents Alucard, born Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş, is the only son of Vlad Ţepeş, known to the world as Dracula, and Lisa, a kind-hearted human woman. Their love was an unlikely union—one between a feared vampire lord and a compassionate healer. Despite the darkness that surrounded Dracula, Lisa saw the man behind the monster, and for a time, they lived in peace.

However, humanity’s fear of the unknown proved fatal. Lisa, accused of witchcraft for her medical knowledge, was burned at the stake by the people of Wallachia. As she faced death, she pleaded with Alucard not to hold hatred in his heart and to resist his father’s wrath.

Dracula, however, was consumed by grief and fury. Declaring war on humanity, he unleashed a reign of terror upon the land, calling forth demons and darkness to ravage those who took his beloved from him.

Alucard, heartbroken but determined to honor his mother’s wishes, opposed his father. He joined forces with the Belmont clan and a young mage to stop Dracula. In the end, Alucard struck the final blow, sealing away his father’s dark reign.

Abilities & Fighting Style

As a dhampir, Alucard possesses incredible speed, agility, and strength, surpassing any human warrior. His skills are legendary, but now retired, he uses them rarely and to regain all his skills back he definitely needs practice.

• Shapeshifting – Alucard can transform into a bat, a wolf, or even mist, allowing him to travel undetected or evade attacks.
• Swordsmanship – He wields a one-handed sword with unmatched grace, dispatching foes with deadly precision.
