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.

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: At least Universe level, likely far higher (Due to Dracula growing stronger every resurrection, the Belmonts should as well; Richter should thus be far more powerful than Simon, who directly killed Count Dracula; Dracula is above Galamoth, let alone the Time Reaper, who Galamoth controls. The Time Reaper was going to destroy the entire Castlevania Timeline) | At least Universe level, likely far higher

Durability: At least Universe level, likely far higher (Superior to Simon, who could take hits from Death, who should be above the Time Reaper; the Time Reaper's power was going to destroy the Castlevania Timeline) | At least Universe level, likely far higher

Scales above Leon Belmont, who outpaced Medusa, who could produce beams from her eyes on several occasions; these beams were confirmed to be comprised of light. Should scale to Soma Cruz, who could outpace Paranoia; Paranoia can generate beams of energy from its hands, confirmed to be comprised of light. Defeating Death should put him about Count Olrox as well, who could generate a beam, which was confirmed to be light-based) | At least Faster Than Light, likely far higher (Should be faster than before)

Stamina: Superhuman+ (Richter fought through Transylvania and Dracula’s Castle before defeating Dracula himself. He was then possessed by Shaft and ruled over Dracula’s Castle for five whole years, and was still able to put up a fight against Alucard after those years)

Range: Standard Melee, Extended Melee with Vampire Killer, Tens of Meters with throwing daggers and axes

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)
