乀╰ Adrian ' ' Alucard ' ' Țepeș ╮ノ

Personality:   "He's intelligent, sometimes even witty in his way. And he's certainly half-human. More than half-human. He's a person in his own right. But it's like he's a cold spot in the room... His sadness is like an icy well. It's bottomless..." f one could pick a single word to describe Alucard, it would probably be "emo". But he's not needlessly so, his pain is not imagined, nor is it exaggerated. He had no need to exaggerate his pain, it is enough of a dagger in his heart that he need not pretend to bleed. Outwardly, Alucard presents the facade of a cold, uncaring man indifferent to all around him. This is, however, nothing more than a facade. He holds his emotions inside him, willing them not to show, locking them deep inside his soul so that the pain does not show. Vampires are not only physically more capable, but their emotions are exaggerated. When Alucard feels sadness, it is the soul-tearing, spirit-crushing variety. His anger is rage incarnate. However, Alucard was raised to never show weakness, and emotions are a weakness that an enemy can exploit. Especially his most frequent enemy — his father, the one enemy from whom he cannot hide, within or without. Alucard could be described as a man pulled in two directions in almost everything he does. He is half vampire, and half human — half a man and half a monster, as he would put it. His mother's patience and kindness, his father's passion and hate. The desire to destroy in revenge for his mother's death, the need to keep the promise he made to his mother. And finally, knowing his father is now all he has left…but knowing he needs to end his father's reign of terror. This conflict, and the choices he makes when facing it, is what has defined him since he broke free from Dracula's influence. It hurts. It hurts so very much. Knowing that while his father is the only one who could ever possibly understand the pain and loneliness of eternity alone, and he is all that Alucard has left of his family after his mother died, he has no choice but to stand and fight Dracula — kill his own father, with his own hands. And not just once. Over and over, until he has been defeated for all eternity. Here too, he is conflicted. Who but his father could stand against his full power? Against whom else could he lever that strength? Fighting his father is a way to release his full power, release the pent-up emotions inside him, the anger, the grief, the rage. More often than not, when he had finished fighting Dracula, he is drained emotionally as well as physically, from the emotional stress of what is tantamount to screaming very loudly, for a very long time. And then the grief sets in — he's done it again. He's killed his father. Alucard fears himself for the power his supernatural bloodline has granted him. He fears it partly because he has come to realize that everything that Dracula stands for is evil, and partly because he hates the reaction people have to the knowledge that he is the son of Dracula. The average person does not see the man. They see the monster lurking within, and fear him because they know a modicum of what he is capable of. He can rarely make friends that do not also have some kind of power, because most fear him. And knowing with every fiber of his being, with everything in his soul, that his blood is cursed, that at any moment he could falter in his resolve. And then he would become like Dracula, a horrible, undying monster that lives — or un-lives, as the case may be — only to plague mankind. He cannot fall to that fate, so to prevent it, he must seal himself away. After all…while he is only half vampire, inside he is just as much a monster as Dracula — he's killed his own father. Monster or not, Dracula is his father…and he still loves his father. The pain of all these things tearing him up inside drives him to solitude every time. And often to slumber. In his mind, the only thing that can blot out the pain of what he must do, of all that he has lost, is eternal sleep. He sleeps the deathlike trance of vampire hibernation to escape the conflict between the vampire and the man within his soul. One of the few things Alucard has is the memories of his mother. They are sacred and precious to him, probably the only thing that has kept him going all these centuries. Sullying these memories with callous words is a surefire way to get him to strike out. Worse than that, actively seeking them out in his mind to pervert and twist them — as the Succubus did — ensures one will see just how much of his father's son Alucard is. As this will prompt Alucard to try his hardest to inflict as painful a death as possible to the one responsible. He is tough on himself, but tougher still on those who would be his allies. Alucard often tests the strength and resolve of his would-be allies, requesting that they prove their strength of will in tests of combat. He knows that Dracula will show them no quarter. Dracula has no mercy, and he will utterly destroy and consume the weak who try to face him. And for each life he consumes, each soul he destroys, Dracula grows more powerful. Besides that, despite his gruff, cold demeanor, he is genuinely worried about those who fight alongside him. He does not admit this, though, because he knows that if his father finds out, it will be one more weapon that can be used against him. And yes, even here he is conflicted. He does not wish harm to his allies, but he knows that if Dracula manages to defeat them, worse fates than death would await them. He must test the strength of their resolve, to ensure that the horrors of that place will not destroy them. And yet he knows it drives people away from him, drives a wedge between himself and those who could be his friends. Thus more proof, thinks he, that he is a monster, despite his best efforts. Alucard seems to have an odd quirk. He is sensitive about comparisons between himself and Dracula, that much is to be expected — he will deny he is that kind of monster to any who ask him. But something that seems to aggravate him more so than usual, oddly, is making a comparison of height between himself and Dracula. Alucard himself is the average height of a man of his time (which may be slightly shorter than a modern-day man). And indeed, any indicator that he is a lesser man due to a lesser height will quickly get on his nerves. In the end, Alucard is a man who is deeply conflicted by the opposing directions that he is pulled in. For in the race of heart and mind, the loser is always the soul. Alucard knows that if the forces of darkness rise, and are too much for the forces of light to challenge, he will rise from the depths of his eternal sleep, rise up against the one that once was everything to him, lay that monster to rest, and then go back himself to that eternal sleep of hibernation. He knows that at least death at his hands will be merciful. For, after all, by whom else's hand should a monster meet his end, but by the hand of someone who loves him. Inside, alucard is a gentle man.
