Richter Belmont

“	Your words are as empty as your soul. Mankind ill needs a savior such as you.	„
	~ Richter Belmont to Count Dracula

Background

Descending from the legendary and powerful Juste Belmont, the new member of the Belmont Clan, Richter Belmont, grew up in the same peaceful village as he. Richter was trained in combat and was quickly realized to be a prodigious vampire hunter. Once he came of age, Juste passed the Vampire Killer whip onto Richter.

Richter, unlike Juste however, was quite the ladies man; he had several women who flocked over him, and had gotten himself a girlfriend, Annette, who lived in the village of Aljiba. One day, on his way to visit Annette, Richter noticed that the entire village was on fire and being overrun by monsters, and that Annette had been kidnapped.

A century had passed since Simon’s defeat of Dracula, and not the Dark Lord was back again; this time, Dracula had kidnapped several women, who he used to lure Richter to him. Making haste, Richter fought his way through Dracula’s Castle, and ran into a young girl related to the Belmont Clan, Maria Renard. Maria insisted on joining Richter despite her age, and the two rescued Annette before making it to Dracula’s chambers.

Dracula thought he was prepared for Richter’s onslaught, but his prodigious powers and magical abilities (likely inherited from Juste) were too much to handle. At last, Dracula was defeated; although, this time, he had a contingency plan. Though Dracula himself may have been killed, his servant, Shaft, remained. Shaft used a dark incantation on Richter, succeeding in possessing the vampire hunter.

Shaft used Richter’s selfish desire of becoming the most famous vampire hunter and inflated it, causing Richter to develop a desire to resurrect Dracula so that he may continue battling him for eternity. Richter became the lord of Dracula’s Castle for the next five years, eventually causing Maria, and the newly-awoken Alucard, to investigate.

Alucard finally made his way to Richter in his chambers, and discovered the truth of his possession. Alucard defeated the Belmont, freeing him of his possession, and traversed ahead to tackle Dracula himself. Richter, left behind to reflect on the past five years, deeply regretted his actions.

Finding Maria and heading home, Richter was ashamed of what he had done, even though he didn’t do so willingly. Feeling as though he shamed his entire bloodline, Richter no longer felt worthy of the Vampire Killer whip, and so he forfeited it to another Clan; the Morris Clan. Richter then continued the Belmont Clan’s blood when he had children with Annette, although he likely lived the rest of his days in shame.

Soul Manipulation & Adaptation (The Whip of Alchemy absorbed Sara Trantoul's vampiric soul, and used her soul to develop the ability to harm vampires), Reactive Evolution (As Dracula grows stronger with each resurrection, the Vampire Killer will adapt and grow stronger to slay him. It can adapt itself to make people unfit to wield it before it recognizes them as its rightful owner), Life Manipulation (If it is wielded by someone it does not consider a rightful owner, it will take life from them), Conceptual Manipulation (The Vampire Killer whip can destroy anything related to the vampires, including concepts such as the night, and death), Memory Manipulation (The whip can summon memories of its past wielders to fight for it), Personal Domain (The Vampire Killer contains a realm within it, in which it houses memories of its previous wielders), Extrasensory Perception (Due to containing Sara's soul, the whip can sense the presence of anything related to the vampires), Fire Manipulation (The whip's Item Crash engulfs it in flames.

Standard Equipment:

Whips

• Vampire Killer: The complete form of the Whip of Alchemy, infused with the soul of Sara Trantoul. It can slay anything related to the vampires. This whip would be passed down to the rest of the Belmont Clan, and used to slay Dracula countless times.
• Flame Whip: This is a powered up version of the Vampire Killer (Morning Star) Whip, which is given the elemental attribute of fire.

Sub-Weapons

• Dagger: A collection of throwing daggers in Richter’s possession, which can be thrown at enemies at high speeds.
• Axe: An axe made with silver, which Richter uses to throw at his enemies.
• Cross: This cross works as the ultimate repellant for dark creatures, destroying all that are within Richter’s vicinity.
• Pocket Watch: A watch that allows Richter to stop time for a brief moment, although it is costly in hearts for him to use.
• Holy Water: A jar of holy water that erupts into flames once it is released out of its container.
• Magic Water: A sacred book blessed by the church, which surrounds Richter and deals holy damage.
• Invincibility Potion: This potion makes Richter invulnerable for a short period of time.

Intelligence: Genius in combat (Due to Dracula growing stronger with each resurrection, he should thus be more dangerous in Richter’s time than Simon’s; meaning that Richter should be similar to, if not superior to, Simon in combat. Although he had been possessed by Shaft, Richter is still prodigious among his clan)

Weaknesses: He was completely possessed by Shaft for the better part of five years, and completely ruled over Dracula’s Castle (while resurrecting Dracula himself) for those five years. This possession caused Richter to completely give away the Vampire Killer whip.
