zakueins Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 ..it's pretty good. Got ideas that I'm going to use in other places, campaign concepts, etc, etc, etc... Mind you, I also can see how you'd bring Allucard (http://www.devermore.com/surbrook/adaptationsanime/hellsing/hellarucard.html) into this whole mess...what happens when a vampire becomes the nearest thing to an Eldrich Abomination that humanity can understand, and hunts monsters now because he kind of likes humans (sort of how you'd like dogs) and he's bored. And, he views other vampires and monsters as just lame posers. He's the real deal and the real monster. He just wants a good challenge...

Lord Liaden Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 It would make a great anime, but a lousy RPG. Alucard is a plot device, a deus ex machina for the creators of the Hellsing series to use as necessary to advance the story. He's so ridiculously overpowered that he couldn't help but overshadow any lesser PCs, who of course are supposed to be the center of the game. Now, for PC monster-hunters who actually have to try to take down Alucard... that might be the ultimate challenge for a MHI campaign.

zakueins Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Figured it out. Last incident that he was involved in, Allucard has been SIGNFIGNANTLY depowered. He's very dangerous, very capable, lots of skills...but probably no more "powerful" than the average Master Vampire (except lacking in a lot of the vulnerablities-sunlight only bothers him the same way bright lights bother normal people, that sort of thing). Hey, when somebody like Martin Hood calls you a "necomatic abomination", that means something. Usually something bad, but there you go. He's in the US because he's on vacation. Sabattical, you might say. He wants a challenge, and he's hungry. By human standards, he's a sociopath of the first order. By vampire standards, he's kind, friendly, boisterous, and like a challenge. Doesn't harm non-combatants, views it as a dishonor. Doesn't kill because because he's bored. Because he's bored of killing just because he can. Pays his bills on time. Tips well. Cleans up after himself. Except for his disquieting habit of looking at people's thoats, he's not too bad to be around. Oh, and for some reason he can't turn anybody but virgin females past the age of 13. Still confuses everybody involved. Opponents, targets, "dog shit" supernaturals? They're dead, they just don't know it yet. The British Governemnt has made it clear by back channels that they want him back...well, as much "alive" as he is. He just wants a challenge. And, he is looking at MHI as being his biggest challenge (mind you, he'd like to try and take on Agent Franks, but he's not ready for that yet and he knows it).
