Vampire: The Requiem and Hellsing

Just what is the best way to fit Hellsing into vampire: The Requiem? I'm not too sure what Clan either Alucard and Seras belong to. This applies to the versions of the characters as well as their ova/manga counterparts.

The characters Incognito, Luke and Jan Valentine, Helena and Bubbancy are the ones I take the most interest in in this regard.

Re: Vampire: The Requiem and Helling

He wasn't confused about what Hellsing is, he was confused because you said "Helling" with no S in every single instance in which you said it.

100 points for the Win. For all I know there could be a "Helling" character in some unknown book or film.

Re: Vampire: The Requiem and Helling

I'm sorry, but any movie, TV series, comic or game that has "Alucard" as a name for a character in it, especially if they anything at all to do with vampires or Dracula is a dealbreaker*. Seriously, who came up with the oh so inventive, true to Romanian roots name "Alucard" which is just Dracula spelled backwards?




*yes, this includes Castlevannia

In the novel, Dracula, the Count himself used "Alucard" as a pseudonym. IIRC, it was when he was buying up property.

That's where everybody takes it from. The implication in Hellsing is supposed to be that Alucard is, in fact, Dracula, still using that pseudonym.

I always thought of it as Dracula totally thinking English Victorians were dumb.

That said, I don't think Vampire: the Requiem and my (admittedly incredibly limited/biased) experience with Hellsing go together. At all.

In the case of Hellsing, it's probably Dracula totally wanting the English to know that he thinks they're dumb.
