Name: Dracula Vlad Tepes (formerly Mathias Cronqvist)
Age: Born 1062 AD
Race: Vampire
Title: The Lord of Vampires
Bio: After the tragic death of his beloved, Mathias Crongvist swore to become an enemy of God and mankind for taking his wife from him. He willingly offered himself to the polar opposite of God, Chaos, and became its harbinger. By doing so, he would forsake his humanity and become a creature of the night--a vampire, a Lord of Shadow, the legendary Son of the Dragon known as Dracula. He would become a recurring threat to most of Europe, become the sworn enemy to the entire Belmont family line, and would return from the dead time and time again.

Special Attacks:
-Cloud of Bats: Dracula turns into a swarm of bats and flies forward a short distance, inflicting multiple hits on the opponent.
-Fireball: Dracula flings out his cape, firing three fireballs in a vertical formation.
*Flame Sphere: At the cost of some Super Meter, Dracula can fire a single, slower-moving fireball that lingers, hits multiple times, and then explodes.
-Flame Pillar: Dracula snaps his fingers and a pillar of fire erupts in front of him at a different distance.
*Pillar of Hell: At the cost of some Super Meter, Dracula creates three consecutive pillars on the opponent's current location.
-Orb of the Night: Dracula flings back his cape and sends a myriad of deep-violet spheres at the opponent.
LIGHT: Fly outward from Dracula in a sort of cross formation.
MEDI: Fly outward in a dome-formation, spreading out as they fly further.
HEAVY: Fly forward in a basic, two-row line. Stronger than previous variants.
-Nightmare Claw: Dracula pulls back his hands, cape outstretched, then slashes forward, creating an "X" shaped burst of energy that can knock back opponents.
-Blood Drain: Command grab. Dracula takes hold of the opponent, then sinks in his fangs and drains part of their health, adding it to his own, before discarding them.
Throws
FORWARD: Dracula seizes his opponent by the neck, lifts them off the ground and strangles them for a bit before discarding them.
BACKWARD: Dracula turns into a flock of bats, reappears behind the opponent, then sharply backhands them on their head.
Super Moves:
-Grand Fireball: Dracula calls fire from below, molding it into a giant ball of fire, then sends it forward. It moves slowly, but hits repeatedly. Once it gets to the other side of the stage, it explodes in a fiery wave.
-Demonic Megiddo: Dracula opens a crimson portal in the air above him and a meteor-like object falls through it. On impact with the ground, it will explode in a burst of hellish fire. It spans the whole stage, will inflict a burn effect that chips at health, and is difficult to dodge.
-Master of the Night: Dracula creates a cloud of red mist just below the opponent. On a successful hit, the area around them will turn pitch black with a red moon in the background. They will then be assaulted by flying Gorgon heads, swarmed by vampiric bats, struck by crimson lightning, and finally clutched in the hand of a gargantuan, horned demon. The demon will then unleash a flurry of fireballs upon them before plunging its claw into them, shattering the reality and flooring the opponent.
FATALITIES:
-Suck Your Blood: Dracula plunges his claws straight into the opponent's gut and lifts them into the air. With his other hand, he plunges his claws into their neck and rips their head clean from their shoulders. Discarding the body, he holds the severed head over his body and lets the blood fall from their neck and into his mouth, drinking it down as it falls.
-Eat Your Heart Out: Dracula plunges the claws of both his hands into the opponent's chest, then pulls it apart until a large, bleeding hole is left wide-open. He then plunges one hand into the chest cavity and, with a pull, rips out their heart/core before using the opposite hand to rip them in two. With his opponent in pieces, he eyes the heart/core and sinks his fangs into it like one would an apple.
Intro: A flock of bats swarms the arena, then a pair of boots touch down on the ground, the camera panning up and away to reveal Dracula, who throws back his cape with an amused smile on his face.
Outro: Dracula spreads his arms, making his cape into makeshift wings, and bats swarm as a blood-red moon rises behind him.

Stage: Dracula's Castle

_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue: Lost to the void of the afterlife, a dark essence hung in a limbo-like state of existence, neither to return to his living world or pass on to whatever afterlife awaited him. That was, until a voice called out--one that was enough to stir activity long-forgotten from his soul. That very darkness followed the voice and materialized in an unfamiliar world, and even regained its memories and physical form. The dark lord, Dracula Tepes, had been reborn...and there was not a Belmont to be seen who could stop him on his journey to the top.
Rival Cutscene:
(In a dark, gloomy castle, Dracula sat upon a throne, clawed and clasped on the neck of a wineglass. He takes a quick swig, but has no sooner finished it when the great door before him is struck with enough force to knock loose a small cloud of dust.)
Dracula: (thinking) As I expected. I knew that 'he' would show up if I lingered for long enough.
(The door quakes again, more violently. On the third hit, the doors fly open with a loud "bang", followed by an unnerving silence. Soon after, heavy footfalls echo throughout the room as a tall, muscular figure makes its way to the center of the room. An amused smile crosses Dracula's face as he recognizes the figure soon standing before him.)
Dracula: Ganondorf Dragmire.
(True enough, the dark armor and fiery red hair is that of the Gerudo King, Ganondorf.)
Ganondorf: Dracula Tepes.
Dracula: Here, once again, to try and dethrone me in your unending quest for power?
Ganondorf: My quest will end at the tower, vampire. The sole obstacle that remains...
(Ganondorf raises a hand, the Triforce of Power glowing on the back.)
Ganondorf: Is you.
(Dracula raises a brow, then casts aside the wineglass, stands from his chair, and descends the steps to Ganondorf's level.)
Dracula: Amusing. Even after our previous duel, you still believe that single piece of gold will give you all the power you need?
Ganondorf: I made the mistake of underestimating what it took to kill you. (draws a glowing, white sword) This time, I will go straight for your head.
Dracula: (shakes head) Foolish king... Even in the wake of your defeat, you believe I'm no different from every other vampire. (opens eyes, revealing they are crimson as blood) I will see to it that you are punished for your insolence, Dragmire, you swine.
(Ganondorf readies his blade as Dracula casts back his cape, making of it broad wings like a giant bat. Fade to black.)
Ending: Victorious over the Mastermind of Death Battle, Dracula was quick to remodel the entirety of the tower into his own personal palace. The moon illuminated this world, not the sun. It would be the first of many to suffer this fate. One word from Dracula, and the creatures of the night seeped into every world that they could. Anything they could not handle themselves, Dracula would make short work of. This was no ordinary conquest or purge. Night was set to fall on the multiverse itself. Under his rule, the sun would rise no longer. His greatest enemy? Conquered.
