Appearance


Personality
There is a rather interesting key feature about Alucard, and that would be his attitude to generally be cruel hearted in both appearance and personality. He's not someone who has been found to outright kill his target, yet to torment them in many different aspects of life and death. For someone to actually define Dracula's personality would be near impossible, as he is often found to be adapting to many different situations and characters. Alucard fights with ferocity and often extreme cruelty, rarely shooting to kill until his target has been totally disabled and humiliated. Alucard is quite egotistical, he believes he is the most dominant being on this planet to date. There is a weird thing about Alucard, though. He is known to taunt and screw around with his opponent rather than taking it completely serious at first shot. He often allows himself to get beat up quite a bit before actually taking the fight serious and turning in to obliterate the opponent with a series of attacks. He generally doesn't give two shits about the role of humans in anything; he believes he is above them and most others being in existence. All of this is stemmed from his actual cold demeanour, he's quite the cold person and his personality is rather confusing from there on. To define his personality into simple terms would be impossible, as his personality changes according to the type of person he comes into contact with and there is quite the difference in thought process to say if he was in contact with a family member, such as Ketsu or Azure, and then to someone like Mana or an enemy. It would differ quite a bit. Although it would differ, there is also a constant cold and horror-like aura in the way Alucard acts, speaks and even his presence is horror-filled.

Alucard is often found to enter fights with ferocity and often extreme cruelty, rarely shooting to kill until his target has been totally disabled and humiliated. That is the key in his battle attitude, his cold way of attempting to kill someone by literally ripping their body in two and making them humiliated, making them crushed by their own stupidity and actions. Alucard is quite egotistical, he believes he is the most dominant being on this planet to date. There is a weird thing about Alucard, though. He is known to taunt and screw around with his opponent rather than taking it completely serious at first shot. He often allows himself to get beat up quite, completely torn apart and ripped into shreds by the power of the foe before him; a bit before actually taking the fight serious and turning in to obliterate the opponent with a series of attacks. He generally doesn't give a damn about the role of humans in anything within his own life, he is the ultimate being; he believes he is above them. Although he believes he is above the humans and their mortality, he strongly envies their ability to die and end all of the suffering in the world. The main reason Alucard leads his enemy on, often trapping making them feel ahead and above him, is because he likes the feeling of the enemy over encumbered by fear and crushing them in the end. Though his entire attitude, battle attitude as well as his normal attitude, has been shown to be quite horrible and would turn and kill someone for the fun of it if they were strong enough in an instant, it's also proved evident he values good fights. The fights against people that can stand up to be beyond what they seem.

His cold, discomforting aura is another thing that usually puts others on edge. Simply by his presence in an area, it can often feel like the happiness and light has been drawn out of the room and sucked back straight into darkness and suffering. This, typically, is used in effect with Alucard's abilities to be present at any given moment as well as the copies of himself, shape shifting and walking through walls. All of these abilities are capable of being twisted into a scare tactic, a horrible way to torture the enemy into putting them on edge. For that is the ultimate goal of Alucard with foes and people he doesn't personally know, it is the ability to be able to crush anyone's calm attitude, crush their tendency to be calm in the face of imminent death, and turn it instantly into their worst nightmares. Underneath all this, he can be very down to earth person and, depending on who he comes into contact with (namely his family and "Friends"), he can be quite forgiving and nice. Generally, Alucard has a cold, dispassionate attitude, though, which is nothing which anyone should undermine; unfortunately people ending up doing so inadvertently.

Although his main feature of his personality isn't the fact that he can be cold or demeaning, but it's his tenancy to be focused around the haunting presence. Typically, when he's not around people he's quite silent. He prefers the silence over the loud attitudes and talkative attitudes of everyone, often finding solitude and comfort in the quiet, lonely life. Deep down, Alucard is quite a lonely being; and quite a sad one. It may be true that he is found to be quite troublesome, his battle attitude and attitude around people in general is quite traumatic, but he is quite possibly one of the closest, cut off and saddest person to ever walk this earth. It is true that he prefers solitude, to be cut off from the world - although under his anger, under all that, he's a sad being who envies humans for their abilities to die. Although he can die, to complete such a task himself, to completely destroy his existence would be practically impossible. He envies humans, he envies them in a way that's rather weird thing to envy; but for a person that was brought into existence with such a power like his, the thought of death to him was the euphoria, the final ascension into death and how he could escape his long, hard and confusing life. Death... was his ideal position. Although this depression like attitude isn't stemmed from his abilities or his solitude, rather it's the opposite. It's the fact that he has to constantly be around loud, rowdy people in a world that's so full of people, that it's expected of him. He didn't like the fact about this at all. That was the best thing about solitude to him, not having to be anything for anyone; and with a notoriety like Alucard? That was hard to avoid.

Contrary to popular belief, Alucard is actually quite a simple being. To get on his good side isn't exactly hard, but once you get onto his bad side it is hard to get out of there. He takes solitude in the simplest of things, and due to this he has often found himself, if not in solitude, being quite the silent being wandering through Karakura Forest. Unlike any other forest in the world, he loves to take walks through there at night time to cool his mind, to get out of his home in the den of Iramasha island and get fresh air, aiming to avoid many people or humans by showing his face in Karakura Forest. Not many people attempt to talk to Alucard if they were walking through the beings of the earth; although it has been found to happen on occasion. Through many of the times, he's found himself to kind of be shut off from the rest of the world while taking this walks through the forest or simple strolls through the world, to take happiness in the calm natures. His nature, not personality, is quite calm and collected all in all. Due to his calm nature, he is quite smart when it comes to many tactics revolving around his abilities and ways to adapt to each different person and what may be used against them as a fear tactic. Not only this, but his nature draws hand in hand with his calm like towards blood. The reason he thinks blood is the most valuable thing in life? Blood is the life-force for not only humans, but every single alive thing in existence. He believes that if they are not filled with blood, many other things would be taken into account along with this, then they are not alive. He drinks blood for the same reason, to consume someone's blood is to consume their life; and that sounds appealing to Alucard's being.

Although the personality of Alucard doesn't end here, Alucard has been considered quite possibly the most loyal being in existence, once the particular person has become able to earn his loyalty and trust. For an example of this, Alucard is the most loyal to his brother, the Devil Iramasha leader, Ketsu Iramasha. The idea of loyalty to Alucard, especially to the Iramasha family, is something that shouldn't be taken out of consideration ever. He wouldn't turn against them, turn against his family for almost any fact. He would stand by Ketsu until the very end of time if that's what it took for their family to continue on and their family to conquer their goals. The problem with such a loyalty is the fact that others could very easily betray him if they somehow actually earned the trust. For example, if Ketsu or Azure were to break the trust of Alucard and go against him, to turn rogue and aim on killing the two; it would end in a drastic way in the way that there would be constant death. He loves his family sure, but if they turned against Dracula and went against him as an enemy, he would hold no remorse in killing them; as he has seen so much death in his life time that to kill a family member would be absolutely nothing but another part of life. Alongside this, Alucard holds great respect for people who are the silent type and not spurting at the top of their lungs all of their words they can muster. Such people like Tsubasa, Dragon Slayer and others like them, Alucard would hold great respect as there was no need to actually speak in most situations; which these characters do not do. Although, despite the fact that Alucard can get quite cocky in talking himself up in a fight, it's almost as the respect for silence can aid his cocky attitude in battle, weirdly enough. Typically, the silent type of people he believes are more trustworthy than those who are spouting their nonsense.

HISTORY

Alucard's early life was... interestingly horrible to say the least. Alucard had always been in union with his brother Ketsu, but didn't seek any other form of family. To him, Ketsu was all the family he needed. He considered the Iramasha's his own family, he was abandoned at birth and was quickly brought into the blood line of the Iramasha's. On that note, he also spent a lot of time in solitude while growing up. He spend his time pulling worthless pranks, treating himself as an alien of society. While he still looked up to his brother, he didn't see him that much at all. Rather, Alucard would spend most of his time torturing people who had done the wrong thing, often setting up traps and making the evil pay in his own way. At this age, he didn't actually have any of the powers he has in today's age. Rather, he used his insane wit, from when he was around 15 to 18 years old, to bring certain people to justice in his own way. He didn't spend that much time on Iramasha island at all, he spent most of his time down in the human world. The polluted, sick and dying human world. The slum of worlds, at least the slums of the world's he was aware of. Alucard was sitting out the front of a shop, his deep red eyes hidden by his eye lids, closed as he leant back on his chair letting the wind pass through his long black hair; his voice being unnaturally deep for his age. Many men came and went, often people who were obviously up to no good. He yawned, the stall he was sitting on suddenly collapsing to the ground, Alucard managing to smack his head on the wall behind, a little blood leaking out. He stood up slowly, scratching the back of his head. A man stood before him, a man wearing a black robe like clothing, a katana clearly holstered on his waist. Alucard stood up, looking at this man dead on, they were about the same height.

"What do we have here? A man who tries to pick on others? Oh and look at this, you seem to be a Shinigami as well? My, you sure are the fearsome one."

Alucard said loudly, his deep menacing voice echoing throughout the area as the blood leaked down onto his face, talking as if he hadn't even felt the blow to the back of the head. The man stood a steady posture, yet it had so many flaws. Looking straight at him, Alucard smirked; drawing his attention to the man's Zanpakutō which was drawn yet.

"I could sense your presence from a mile away, you don't have the presence of a human or a shinigami. My orders are to eliminate anyone hostile. Here you die!"

The shinigami flicked his Zanpakutō up, taking a very fast swing at Alucard. The blade came fast, faster and faster as it continued to fly through the air with the more force he put behind it. Being given barely enough time to dodge, Alucard had done nothing to prepare himself. The blade made contact with his head, slicing the entire thing clean off. Blood spurted, Alucard's lifeless body fell to the floor as a few twitches could be seen shaking through Alucards entire body. The blade continued to have blood leak from it as the shinigami turned around, holstering his blade and smirking as if his work was done.

"Scum..."

A fluid like noise began to fill the area, a blood like red and black tinted liquid suddenly gaining all the blood he had just spilt, the head that was clean off reforming back into place as it originally was, his eyes glowing a piercing red. A red that could see straight through someone's soul. Alucard smirked, his blood lust now taking control. The shinigami turned around, his eyes pinned open at Alucard. Only one could imagine what was going on in this man's mind, however, his face could tell it all. M-MONSTER! As he was still facing Alucard, in fear he could not move a single inch. He was pinned to his position purely based on the fact he was scared. A hand launched out, a straight right handed punch sent through his stomach, piercing through the skin like it was butter. His hand popped out the other side, covered in blood. Within seconds, Alucard raised his mouth to the man's neck, biting hard and consuming all his blood. This was the start... of his powers.

Part 2
Ever since that moment, he has explored much more into his powers. Ever since that event... he had become power hungry. He was actually looking to become the ultimate warrior. He grew up killing many people, often throughout his life time facing many tough warriors. Taking their souls, absorbing them and being added to the already bruting army. During all the famous wars, world war one, the boer war, World War 2 and even the cold war. Alucard has spent a lot of time consuming soldiers, adding them to his ranks. However, his existence spreads FAR further back than this. Even throughout the war's during renaissance, even periods before that Alucard was leading his own armies into battles. He was usually found using his outfit with the sword, when he was more commonly known during that age as 'Vlad the Impaler'.

'Vlad' was seen as a very fearsome person during that age. Constantly conquering armies, twisting history and people covering it up with their own version to hide the fact he was so powerful. Such times and places he conquered was Troy. Vlad actually was in charge of a all out assault on troy, crushing and destroying every last soldier that was in there with his own armies. He done this for amazing amounts of time, from cities to individuals. When he was discovering his inner powers, he often tapped into them with his own mental way of thinking. Pending his reforming abilities, bending what he can create. Often through this, he would make a variant of his abilities. It was said he could not be killed by many, but it was just because he didn't tell them. As he went through time, he began to tell people his weaknesses by using the words of the ten step processes.

Acting as an undercover agent during world war 2, Alucard had been working for himself to stop the german advance during the war, using his supreme powers to shut down even some of the largest organisations; helping the human world throughout their troubles without interfering directly with the allies side of things.

Present

During this time and age, Alucard still spends most of his time sleeping or locked up in his room. Other than this, he sometimes like to wander the human world, observing all the changes ever since he was reigning over a lot of armies. Looking at all the new structures, taking in the embrace. Eyeing down all of the suspicious looking people who dared to challenge him. Wearing a red coat with a red hat, he could specifically be seen wondering around down town Karakura or somewhere located in Iramasha island with Ketsu. Alucard had never really found someone he wanted to fight who could keep up with his own standard during this time, he was waiting for someone... a monster or a human to come that could match his talent and provide him with a great challenge. A fight to end all fights!

Alucard avoids contact with most people, often only talking to people when it either a war, or he, weirdly enough, is feeling lonely. As said, he barely ever talks with passion and doesn't let many people get to him.


Ten Step Process
The Ten Step Process is the sequence of events in which it takes to fully defeat Alucard. The process is quite an interesting concept, and it has to be done in a specific way or Alucard will simply turn back to his normal form. The process has to be used in rapid succession and can only be done if the person can for fill all the requested steps. If all the steps are complete, Alucard will have been not only defeated, but destroyed from existence in the world. His ability to regenerate ultimately terminated after he has been through this ten step process and dies as a result of this. Due to the combo being semi-impossible to achieve, if it is achieved it will end Alucard's life along with any other traces of his existence. Although, the ten step process erases his existence, in some ways it doesn't. Due to obtaining abilities which are similar to Shcrodingers omni-presence, upon death he will still technically exist; except in an omni-present form. Or, more commonly known, a ghost form. The ghost form would act as sort of a vessel which is an invisible force which is capable of being brought into visual and hearing possibilities for a few posts at a time. Although in this form, he can't be hurt or killed in any way, he cannot attack or cause any damage according to his ghostly form; even after materialising. In essence, he is killed as a result of this; but only remains in a omni-present form, being everywhere at once with all knowledge being able to float through him as it happens within the world.

There is a system that follows the ten step process that is rather complex and can be hard to achieve. For example of this, the ability to achieve one of these will take something away from Alucard which is known as a life. The life system will be explained in more detail under natural abilities, although a summary here. The lives are what keeps Alucard alive; and to take away one of them is to become one step closer to being able to kill Alucard. Once all the lives are depleted, the above happens; he dies. The main reason of the lives system is to avoid an instantaneous death if the steps were able to be completed in sequence like said. The problem with such an ability is that it makes it extremely difficult for people to gauge how exactly it is possible for people to kill him; when in reality it isn't all that hard for the lives to be depleted. While it may remain oblivious to the enemy, once the lives start to become taken down below ten or lower, his fatigue and injured state finally begins to appear. Only in minor ways however, the lives are there to make sure that he can keep fighting even until the last life is left. Although, once the final life is taken away; he becomes incapacitated for an entire post. Basically, taking away this life leaves him paralysed for that post and then gives the enemy a opportunity to complete the ten step process if they have figured it out. Although, after this post is complete, he comes back into play and will attempt to stop the enemy at any costs to stop them from completing it. Although, due to that fact it is near impossible to identify the ten ways it can be completed, this isn't to say that he can't be defeated. Once all lives are taken away; small cuts he has taken will heal and stop from bleeding and such, but he is more vulnerable to feeling pain, and will often retreat if he continues to take too much damage. Once the final life is taken, he can take as many attacks of the ten step process can be thrown, as long as they are done in order, not screwed up and make contact.

One more key thing that needs to be noted about this that to take away another life from Alucard, say after using fire, they need to complete another one of the lives to take away before they can use fire yet again to take a life away. This prevents the person from spamming their fire or spamming a simple attack to knock out the lives by simply spamming their fire techniques. If he is hit with the same method more than once in a row, it will act as if that hadn't worked on him and a life will not be lost; simply regenerating but to no effect on his body or causing him pain due to this.

Step one - Neck:
The first step of the process is quite possibly one of the simplest that someone can achieve when it comes to the steps this process includes. The ability of this isn'tcomplex as you technically have to be up close to complete it. Neck, being you have to literally snap his neck to complete this step. This can be done in any means, so technically you don't need to be close but you can snap his neck with your hands, with an object or anything. As long as you snap his neck, you have completed the first step. Although, being able to snap his neck is no easy feature. Snapping of the neck wouldn't be like a simple humans, the tremendous amount of force it would take to snap his neck would not only be ridiculous, but Alucard would fight against this life trying to be taken away from him. He wouldn't just let the opponent snap his neck, there's no way. Unless they're secretive, act fast or just generally overpower Alucard; then this is possible. This can be done, by saying, throwing a object as well as hands touching, completely smashing Alucard's neck around and breaking it. This can also be used in conjunction with step five, which can also be counted for as excessive force. So in a sense, it's killing two birds with one stone if you manage to complete the snapping of the neck and the excessive force if it is completed with the right ability and knowledge/intellect to get this close or ways the opponent can do this. Such things as getting his entire head blow up will not work, as it is not breaking the neck.

Step Two - Fire:

As the name states, step two is a little more complicated to complete if there are no sources of ignition in the area, or the user does not have the abilities required to defeat Alucard. For this section, Fire is the second part to the Ten Step Process, which involves completely overwhelming Alucard with a large area of fire. Whether it be from the character themselves or from another source, Alucard is needed to be caught on fire somehow, be it through the enviroment or by simply being hit by an opponents spiritual abilities, it will count as him losing a life. Although the fire is something that isn't just capable of touching Alucard and taking away the life or igniting a single part of his body; for the life to be taken away completely is to have to cover his entire body in a flame of some sorts. From head to toe, every section must be covered in flames before the life can be considered taken away from Alucard. The fire is one of the abilities that can be difficult to complete, or even impossible to complete, depending on the location of the fight or the user he is fighting. Depending on this, causing a fire to ignite on Alucard for the ten step process would be deemed impossible and not be able to killed in that particular fight. Although, that isn't to say he can't be defeated. If his lives were taken down and he started to feel immense pain from the attacks, he would possibly be forced to retreat if it ended up stretching that far to the pain and suffering.

Step Three - Heart:

The third step is probably one of the easiest to achieve depending on the type of powers or weapons the opponent uses in combat. This involves, simply, a weapon going straight through his heart, piercing straight through his skin and rib cage to stab directly into his heart. If it is a bit off to the side, it will not count as a stab to the heart; the attack must be dead on in the centre of his chest to count this life to be taken away. In theory, it's one of his easiest to take away; although the only problem that occurs in this instance is the one that it has to be accurate for the attack to count. If the shot manages to pierce the heart, however, it will send a massive shock of pain throughout his body and most likely make him cough up blood and in some cases split his body open. However, if it was done out of turn in the ten step process after all lives were taken away, he would still feel the pain; but due to his massive amount of pain tolerance, it would be nullified after the lives. The heart is one of the bodies command-centres, so the heart is one of his most protected places.

Step Four - Arm and Legs:

The fourth way of taking one of the many lives the Iramasha vampire Alucard has is to cut off both his arms and legs simultaneously. Typically, for someone to achieve this, it can be quite difficult depending on both movement speed and attack speed. For this to be completed and the life to be taken away from Alucard, the opponent would have to cut off both arms and legs within one second of each other. So, if you were to cut of his left arm, you must cut of his right arm in the same post, and then both his legs in the next post or in the same post as the arms. The same goes for the legs, that the arms must be cut, then one second until it is made redundant, then. However, due to his grand master pain endurance, he is often found to barely even feel the pain from such an attack. That's the most interesting part about Alucard, you can continue attacking him and fatigue or blood less is not an issue. It falls down to how quickly you can adapt to his fighting style and destroy his lives system. When this is complete, his legs and arms will grow back into their normal shape and size, however he would have lost one life from the sources of lives he has. The arms and legs is one of the tougher steps to complete in time and succession with the other steps, but once complete it does have it's ability to take the life away and become one step closer to killing him.

Step Five - Excessive force:

The fifth way step of the process is pretty much self explanatory in its name; 'Excessive Force'. The enemy of Alucard, for this step, must use a extreme amounts of force, be it a super strong punch, attack, as long as it is capable of sending someone flying across the room and through several buildings, it is counted as a step. Say, someone like Radioactive was to punch Alucard; that would be counted as excessive force. Or, if someone was to send an object like a building or something on par with something so huge and powerful at Alucard, that would also count as excessive force. Excessive force is one of the harder one's to achieve for an opponent who is not really a master or excels in the areas of strength. As mentioned, someone like Radioactive or Eiji would quite simply be able to cause excessive force because of their large amount of strength that they have accumulated; but even then, this doesn't mean Alucard's going to simply stand still for the opponent to let them hit him. There lays the next problem, if the punch is too slow to touch Alucard, then it wouldn't work. Really, the balance of speed and strength is best prefered for this role, someone like Zefonse could fit this role with the excessive force step.

Step Six -Jugular:

Step six consists of a very... similar one once the neck is completely broken of Alucard. Like the first step, it can found to be completed as two birds with one stone. The jugular must be severed or crushed, rendered completely useless in one way or another for this life to be taken away from Alucard. This can be done by either slicing it completely open or crushed with an extremely heavy force, something that is capable of crushing it. Although, the neck is hardy compared to a normal humans neck. As Alucard as a spiritual essence, the force needed to crush or slice open the jugular is great. The jugular can sometimes even come into contact with the breaking the neck, killing two birds with one stone and taking two lives away on the first attack made on Alucard. However, while doing the ten step process you must be careful not to shatter the jugular other wise it will completely ruin the process, if aiming to knock out two birds with one stone with this. Although there is a key way to avoid this, obviously, but it would involve being more precise in movements and even closer in distance, rather than far away.

Step Seven - Decapitation:

Step seven: Decapitation is one of the key areas of Alucard's steps and is often confused with just blowing his head up into smithereens. Step seven is usually completed through means of a blade or a weapon similar in slicing capability to achieve such a step. The name is pretty straight forward; to complete this step you must cut Alucards head clean of in any matter. However, don't think it will be so easy to do so. Alucard will do all he can to stop you from completing this step of decapitation. If he is given the chance to stop the opponent, he will - especially if his lives for that fight are running low. However, even though the head is severed don't think Alucard's body will stop attacking, if he is in the middle of an attack he will continue to try and shoot you or bring you down. As said, if the next step is not completed with ten seconds of each other (within the opponents next post) Alucard's body will grow back and return to his normal state - which can be problematic, especially if you've reached this higher step in the ten step process.

Step Eight - Impaling:

The final step is impaling him. Although the impaling technique is rather different than to just being simply stabbed in any area of his body, impaling doesn't mean just stabbing him through his body in any normal fashion, no, rather it has to go straight through his head, out through either the groin area or his feet. Completely impaling him from head down to another exit point located lower on his body. Typically this is done with a spear or another object of fashion - which can be brought out from the environment. In general combat without actually having Alucard incapacitated, it would be extremely hard to achieve; unless a sneak attack was planned on Alucard. This step is particularly hard to achieve if you are not fast in general combat, although once all his lives are taken down and is paralysed for that one post; is becomes rather simple once the opponent has figured out this step. That's one of the issues with this step, just simply the ability to be so hard to achieve it restricts it down to nine ways for his lives to be taken away, basically.

Step Nine - Body:

Step nine body is literally... scattering his body into different locations all over the battlefield. To complete step nine, the entire body must be torn apart from Alucard; the legs, arms, head, skin, all limbs torn off and ripped into shreds throughout the entire battlefield, often coating the area in nothing but a blood and gore from this. The body, chest area, being totally ripped open and exposing his heart must be achieved here too, there for allowing the final step to be completed once all his lives had become depleted. The issue with this step can be found in many places for the opponent, as such an ability to literally tear someone open must be acquired. And honestly? Many other characters are capable of doing this. Alongside the impaling, this is one of the harder steps to achieve once it comes down to it; although becomes much easier once he is paralysed after all lives are depleted and down to zero.

Step Ten - Soul:

Step ten is the final of all the steps. The ten step process is at it's end here, this one can only be completed if all of the other steps are completed first. The opponent must literally tear apart the soul of Alucard, ripping his heart into a million pieces and spreading all of the limbs and body parts apart. To do this, one must, in some way, slice or tear the entire heart of Alucard into many, many pieces. Doing this after al the other steps will complete the process, depending on the power maybe even killing him forever. Alucard wont let this happen easily, however. Despite all is limbs being gone and all of the previous thing being happened to him he will still try and fight back; not to mention allies he has.


Natural Abilities

Lives:
Ever since Alucard has been with the Demon Iramasha family, since birth, he has gained something similar to his brother Ketsu. His ability is quite different compared to Ketsu's reforming of his body. The lives system is simply the amount of times Alucard can get killed, or blown apart in many different ways, before the ten step process actually works in sequence for killing him. The lives system works through two main things. If someone was to achieve one of the above ways of incapacitating Alucard; that would take one life away from him. Such things like a cut across the chest would not take a life away from Alucard and would barely effect him, if not at all. The idea of the lives is that they must be completed in a certain way before Dracula can be considered 'defeated' and out for the count. He would just regrow it. While, say his arm got cut off, he would feel not very much pain and everything but he can grow them back without a life being taken away from him as none of the ten steps had been completed. That's a reason why Alucard can be so hard to fight, he is a Iramasha who is capable of ignoring pain, regenerating his body and allows extreme endurance fighting. While Alucard isn't as physically strong as other 0-2 tiers, he is quite possibly one of the toughest to fight in an endurance and logical manner. He is in no manner weak or slow, he is extremely tough in all areas- making him an all round fighter and endurance because of his lives system.

At the start of a thread, Alucard starts off with twenty lives and it takes twenty of the steps said above to actually complete the sequence in order for the ten step process. However, when it comes to an event, this is totally different. In the heat of a major battle like London or a similar event-scaled war, Alucard's abilities with lives is pushed all the way up into the hundreds. He has a hundred lives he has stored within and is capable of utilising these to keep himself from harm and being incapacitated and destroyed. Due to thinking of himself above most other people and thinking of himself as the most powerful, this ability certainly helps him towards that goal.

Reforming:
Alucard is capable of reforming his body to any previous shape. Say, his head was blown off with a shot gun and scattered all across the room; it is possible for Alucard to reform his head and re-attach it. However, the reforming doesn't look... normal. What happens; is all the blood that was spilt from the attack comes back, a red and black tinted, floating and covering Alucards body. Often, Alucard's body turns pure black white and his body covered in a black like, leather bandages which seem to be constricting. Within seconds, his red clothes reform into their original shape. This is often well done, because it can strike fear in the enemy, depending on who it is. This happens when anything is chopped off or and injury happens, depending on the injury, the red and black energy might just heal it right then. However, if something like his arms were cut off, the majority of his arms with turn black in the bandages as they reform, and twirl as if he was growing new arms, which he technically is doing. As the arms are cut off, the bandages would wrap around is as it regrew, then following that the red over-coat covering it again. Although... this ability is quite unique. It can grow his red coat back, or when he reforms, it can be a completely different new form. He doesn't even have to appear as Alucard any more, it could be a dog, lion, woman, anything. For appearance to him is meaningless.

Schrödinger's powers:
Typically, the Schrodinger's powers of Alucard is quite an interesting thing he has acquired. The Shcrodinger ability which he has gained is the omni-presence ability, the power for Alucard to be anywhere and everywhere at any given moment. Not only is this problematic for many people, but if he can be at any location he so wished at any given moment - it doesn't really matter for secrecy. This power typically allows Alucard to be both alive and dead at the same time, to be able to exist in one area, yet not be there also. This ability is a dimmed down version of a omni-presence like a being such as "God" would have. Due to this ability, Alucard likes to consider himself above God. After obtaining these powers, Alucard can be considered everywhere and nowhere at the same time, being a monster that both exists and doesn't exist at the same time.

Intangibility:
Intangibility is one of the major components that comes along with Alucard's powers and his scare tactics as well as battle tactics. Mainly, in short, the ability allows Dracula to pass through solid objects like they are nothing but air. On multiple occasions, Alucard has been found to descend from the floor, walk straight through walls and even solid objects. This has been shown that he can pass through solid walls, the ground and even metal or earth. This ability is quite useful both in and out of combat, allowing Alucard to be quite the monster in all ways the word can be interpreted. The only thing that the ability intangible cannot pass through is spiritual based attacks, such things like Kidō/cero or reiatsu enforced moves. However, this also means that Zanpakutō and blades cannot pass through. As mentioned, he could pass through a building; although doesn't work against identified weapons or spiritual attacks.

Shape-shifting:
The power that comes along with this is quite obvious by the title, Alucard is capable of transforming himself or parts of himself into bats, insects, snakes, hell hounds, other human forms including a little girl, an amorphous mass of darkness, and many other forms that isn't restricted to human sized morphs. Typically, Alucard has three known humans forms; the first is his current form which is constantly used; a red over-coat, long flowing black hair, red glasses and a large red hat draping over his face. The second typical form is that of Vlad the Impaler, in which form he takes once his level 0 release is activated, forming a beard, long black hair; typically the same facial features, yet a more deep and menacing voice along with a large sword. The third form is that of a young girl cloaked in white and black; appearing to have a Russian outfit covering him. His voice remains deep despite this form however, something that is reminiscent of his past.

Pain Tolerance:
Even since creation, for many unknown reasons, Alucard has gained quite a high pain tolerance, considered a part of his ability of reforming and allowing him to pull himself together most of the times he is blown apart, if not all of the times. He is capable of having such a high tolerance due to his reforming ability and his attitude towards battles, often mocking them and allowing himself to get blown to smithereens first and continue to mock them. The pain tolerance is one of his main master-pieces, the tolerance extending to even his lives being taken away; he will not express or feel much pain of his lives being taken away or attacks really until he is down to ten or less lives, making him a monster of endurance in battle. Even if he is reduced to ten lives, he will not express pain. The pain tolerance is designed to allow Alucard to withstand a multitude of attacks while still being an all round fighter, being good at long ranged combat, hand to hand, sword play and even spiritual powers. Unlike most, his pain tolerance is the highest form and his strongest point; where as most others would have their strongest point at strength or speed, his is focused on dealing with pain and nullifying it's effects.

Defying-Gravity:
Defying gravity is another one of the interesting things that Alucard is capable of doing in all his forms, including his base form. Obviously by the name, this proves that Alucard is capable of not only walking on walls, but is capable of walking on almost any surface against the laws of physics, walking on ceilings, walls and etcetera. All of these abilities have been shown time and time again, especially the defying gravity; most usually found to be hanging from ceilings, running up the sides of buildings and even running across mid air or water, refusing to sink into the water to swim or fall down to land in mid air.

Familiar summoning

Familiar summoning is one of the techniques in which Alucard has proved to use in many instances, not only having one type of familiar, not being limited by one race, being able to summon almost any type of animal that isn't a human being. There are plenty of familiars that Alucard can summon, each one having it's own twisted state of darkness and horror-filled looks added onto it. The first one in which is most common for Alucard to summon from the darkness within him is the hell-hound. These hell hounds stand at around four foot tall and are completely coated in black. Although, these hell hounds are different to actual wolves/dogs in the human world. On their fore-head, there appears to be not only two eyes, but a third eye in the middle of their forehead. Typically these wolves only have two of them open, although when the third opens; it shows it's initiating of attack has begun upon the enemy. The hell hound can launch out at amazing speeds, and once it opens it's jaws can appear to hold up to eighty sharp, menacing and demonic looking teeth, strong enough to rip off entire limbs of the opponent and even rip organs out of the body if the bite is good enough on the enemy. These wolves are his main familiar and one that Alucard identifies himself as, even being called "The Black Dog" by multiple people and sometimes even calls himself that. Along side all this, there is really no limit to the summons in which Alucard is capable of summoning at as given time; often found to be summoning groups of dogs at a time.

The second most common familiar really isn't one of his abilities that is used to attack. Mainly, this familiar is more of a eerie-type effect and travel method alongside that. As mentioned, Alucard is capable of turning his body into different type of animals; pretty much any animal or human he so wished. Well, in this instance, Alucard is capable of summoning large, tough bats which are often found fluttering around his body when he reforms at times. The bats are large, almost twice the size of normal large bats and are even capable of smashing through walls and windows without any visible injury. The reason they are able to smash through thin walls and windows so well is because they often fly in packs, often grouping together and using all their strength on one area. As mentioned, these bats are not typically used against an opponent as they often have no attacking method an do 'attack' it's usually for a distraction method, to flood the area with bats and sometimes claw at the enemy with their hook-like feet.


Seishin Buki

Alucard's Seishin Buki is one of his most prized possessions, something that
is treated like one his children; it is quite noticeable and something people would probably suspect to be it. His Seishin Buki is considered his main used weapons in most combat forms, used to fight almost everything he comes into contact with. They take the form of two separate guns, one black and one silver. These guns are quite interesting, the black gun, named "The Jackal" being 39cm (16 inches) in hefty 16kg (35lbs). The Jackal is said to be considered the strongest of his Seishin Buki, his most prized possession when it comes to all his weapons. The second gun silver gun is called "The Casull" which is ten inches long in length, and weighs at 6 kilograms unloaded; with bullets weighing at around 10 kilograms. This silver gun is another one of the prized possessions of Alucard, he loves them and usually always has them strapped inside of his red coat for use when in need. Each of these weapons aren't simply just normal guns however, there's no way Alucard would treasure them so much if they were. The main feature of these guns are spiritual essence, although they still use hard-casing bullets; so any anti-spiritual powers wouldn't be able to stop them even if they came into contact. Not only this, but as they are part of his Seishin Buki, they are considered endless in amount of ammunition he can use; each time he uses a bullet, more being crafted; that is his Seishin Buki; both destructive and creation based in a small way.

The Casull, which is shown to be the silver gun he possesses, is one of his main weapons. As mentioned, The Casull is around ten inches long fires bullets which are made up of strong, resistant titanium. The Casull is the nickname given to the gun by Alucard, the designated name is known as "Hellsing ARMS .454 Casull Auto". The bullets in which he shoots are en coated in a fiery essence, the whole bullets red hot while, when shot, a trail of fire is left behind. If this was to make contact with a person, it could easily tear them open and give them fire damage. A single shot, on a 5-5, in the head could blast their entire head open and split it in two or blast it all over the walls and surroundings. It is something that should not be underestimated because it is beyond that of any human gun. Although, this isn't where the power of the Casull stops; no, the gun is actually capable of blasting through any sort of magical barrier. Alongside the coating of fire, his Seishin Buki Casull is capable of dispelling any magical/spiritual attack it comes into contact with. This goes along with also magical barriers, spells and even magical armour. Upon making contact with it, it would dispel it and therefore release a chance to attack before the attack is used again or barrier is brought up again. Along side this, the fire-rate of the gun is beyond amazing. In a single second, Alucard is capable of being able to fire up to fifty bullets from this gun and obliterate anything they come into contact with.

The Jackal, which was said to be around 16 inches long and weighing at extreme amounts, is Alucard's most beloved gun from his Seishin Buki. The Jackal's name is, like The Casull, shortened into fitting into a easy term to remember. The long designated name for the gun is called "Hellsing ARMS 13 mm Auto Anti-Freak Combat Pistol", The Jackal. While the gun doesn't have any fire damage to it, it has other effects which make the gun extremely deadly, almost more-so than the Casull. Rather than having a fire damage effect to it, Alucard's gun 'Jackal' has the effect of explosive rounds to it; the shells it shoots being in a constant reforming state like the ammunition from the Casull. When it makes contact with a surface such as a persons body or any solid object, it will explode and obliterate the surroundings and hopefully the enemy. This makes 'The Jackal' Alucards best weapon of choice when it comes to quickly obliterating an opponent. The blast radius is only small, but since it's confined, it's dangerous as ever. The blast radius is confined into a small area, although it is compact; allowing more of a dangerous attack on a specific location. Being hit by a bullet from this gun in the gut could literally tear open someone's stomach, rip into them and explode with intense pressure, as well as being shot by a powerful bullet. The Jackal's rate of fire is no where near as insane as the Casull, in fact it requires much more steadiness and careful usage. Alucard is only capable of firing off ten of these bullets in an second, but is still enough to completely obliterate some opponents.
