Essence ofAlucard

A vial of black-red ichor, thick as blood but alive with swirling shadows. It tastes like gunpowder, ash, and centuries of hunger. The moment it touches your lips, something deep inside laughs—your voice but darker and eager for blood. You are no longer human. You are the No-Life King.

• Vampire King: Bullets rip through you and close before the smoke clears. Blades pierce and leave no scar. You can regenerate from decapitation, dismemberment, and even total body destruction. As long as a single drop of your blood or a fragment of your shadow remains, you return. Ordinary weapons cannot keep you down. Even holy relics or anti-vampire tools can only slow you. As long as you have the will, you are Undying King. Of course you also have all the other vampiric abilities at an elevated level, such as self levitation, immunity to sunlight, high resistance to holy water and blessed items, and, thanks to getting these powers from an Essence, you don't even have that running water weakness or only being able to turn virgins from the opposite sex limitation.

• Shadow Shape: Your body is no longer mere flesh but magical shadow and blood. Besides the other vampiric powers you can also take on the shape of a swarm of bats, a pack of wolves, a hound of shadows, or even an intangible metallic tasting red mist. Your signature leather coat and hat will shift with these transformations seamlessly, and your size is entirely mutable—you can stretch into colossal proportions, or melt into the floor. No prison can hold you, and no seal can contain you forever.

• The Hellsing Irons:In your hands rests Alucard's signature weapons:

• The Casull: A massive silver handgun filled with high caliber blessed explosive rounds specifically designed to rapidly annihilate all sorts of monsters.

• The Jackal: An even heavier handgun, black as the night, firing consecrated bullets that defy conventional physics and explodes with greater force, a nightmare for any regenerator.

• Even when not using these pistols you never miss unless you choose to. Firearms, blades, and improvised weapons become natural extensions of your will.

• The Legion of Souls: Every life you drain dry becomes part of you, another life to exchange with the Reaper for yours whenever a mortal blow lands, and a member of your growing horde. You can unleash them as familiars, each manifesting with their favored weapons and following your commands whether they want to or not. You can digest them of their personality, or preserve their personality. Optionally you can gain the original Alucard's legion.

• The Hound Baskerville: A size shifting black demon-dog made of solid shadow, this one cannot be controlled by others against you even with wires. It simply dissipates if someone tries to use it against you.

• The Dandy Man: A man with telekinetic connection to cards with a special ability, he can move the cards to slice through steel, move fast as bullets, and shift trajectory mid air. The damage inflicted by the cards do not regenerate unless you allow them.

• Rip Van Winkle: A woman with full telekinetic control over the bullets she shoots from her rifle, allowing her to pierce the same person hundreds of times with a single bullet, or decimate an army with it.

• Countless Soldiers: The souls of war the original Alucard has absorbed, you'll be able to unleash them at once to drown any major city with a flood of undead.

• No-Life King's Dreams: As the King of the dead, what your subjects hear, you hear, what their eye sockets sees, you see. Not actively, you need to either meditate, be asleep, or be dead for this to happen, but from time to time your gaze goes to lands too distant to cross via a mere walk. Worlds with new and unique rules, filled with powers and rules you've never experienced before. You can use the corpses as catalysis to call for those near the corpse your gaze focused on, and if you get them to give you their blood one way or another you can take over the corpse you are watching from, however doing so will bind you to the person whose blood you used to cross worlds. You can direct your gaze towards specific situations and people, after all in an infinite multiverse an infinite variation of events can happen, there is bound to be a master candidate that fits your criteria.

• Restriction Seals: To keep the local divines and powers that be, whether they are active in the world or not, your powers will be bound according to multiple levels:

• Level 3: This is the level you'll be at rest. It only allows you access to your half your regeneration, a quarter of your physical might, and allows you to pull minor tricks with shadows like intangibility and pulling the items you've stored in them.

• Level 2: This is the level you can rise to of your own will. It allows you summon a single member of your legion, lets you pull a third of your physical might, and lets you use more advanced shadow magics, and minor magic such as hypnosis and telekinesis.

• Level 1: Requires a condition your Master has set, such as 'civilian lives at risk' or 'enemy stronger than Level 2'. Allows you unleash all the members of your Legion with their personality intact, half your physical might, and lets you utilize your shadow magic without restriction and allows you to use your blood magic.

• Level 0: Sets you free, releasing your everything— the entirety of your Legion, all your physical and magical might, and allows you to break the seals placed on you, letting you discard your connection to your master.
