PURITIES OF VAN HELSING BLOOD :
VAN HELSING BLOOD IS LIKE A DRUG TO VAMPIRES, A VAMPIRES GOLD: a rare find but when they do and get a drink, they’re addicted. the more they drink, the more powerful they become. this is why some vampires seek van helsing's out rather than avoiding them despite the losing history. in the supernatural world, there is a good price for a live van helsing to drink from.
purified blood came about after henry van helsing discovered interesting properties in a spell he studied in an centuries old book buried in the crypt of an old church. the spell itself was tedious, a nightmare to complete, but once it had – it changed the lives of van helsing’s forever. their blood became more powerful than that of a regular human beings, made them inherently stronger and more resistant a vampires compulsion. but it also made their blood more potent, stronger for the vampires too if they are to get a hold of a van helsing. a blessing and a curse, it was. and one that is not reversible.
HEALING BLOOD. vampires will be able to regenerate faster with the blood of van helsings and sometimes, in rare cases, heal dire wounds before they succumb to them. the blood must always be fresh in these circumstances to do so, therefore drank directly from the body while a van helsing is still alive.
BLOOD EMPOWERMENT. vampires drinking blood from a van helsing becomes more powerful than they were before. they become stronger, faster, and their powers are enhanced almost tenfold, sometimes more depending on the age of the van helsing host. the younger they are, the more powerful they become as they steal the lifeforce with blood drinking. in some rare instances, older hosts of van helsing blood can have the same properties but that in itself is a rare find. rare amongst the already rare. there were only a few known van helsings with this property: john van helsing. casper van helsing.
HAEMOPOTENT REGENERATION. mild applications. casper can heal himself using his own blood, though not by drinking it. often he can just decide to heal and the wound itself will stitch itself back together using his blood. using this power for him is rare and difficult, and thus remains unmastered.
MAGIC / BLOOD MAGIC. because van helsing blood is pure and powerful, using blood in spells or various rituals can either be a good or bad thing. more often times than not it means that a spell is more powerful, has a wider range of working, and holds the subject / desired effect for longer. other times, because of the properties of the blood, it can become explosive and the ritual / spell will simply have be started over with someone elses blood. theres often no telling which spell will work and which will not save from experience.
THE VAN HELSING CURSE :
PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO TAKE HEAVY CREATIVE LIBERTIES WITH THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM VAN HELSING. THIS DOES NOT FOLLOW BRAM STOCKERS TALE OF THE DOCTORS LIFE. THANK YOU.
the van helsing curse started with doctor abraham van helsing, with his various studies and ventures into the occults. most accounts of why this curse came to be remains a mystery to various family members and academics alike, however - it is agreed that it occurred only months after doctor van helsing married his wife and prepared to welcome a son, though their boy would never live to see his first birthday. the loss and heavy grief drove van helsings wife to madness, but van helsing refused to divorce her. the curse had planted its seed and spread throughout the family. a few years pass and, while abroad studying the claims of various creatures running rampant through certain villages, van helsings wife passes and he receives such news by letter from a caretaker that watched his wife while he was away. in his mourning, van helsing returns home to bury his late wife beside their son.
it takes years for doctor van helsing to move forward with his life. still considered a young man, doctor van helsing wishes to pass his knowledge, legacy, and wealth to an heir. four years after the death of his first wife, doctor abraham van helsing begins courting a beautiful alison mary ardelean, who already fancied and found a particular fascination with the doctor and his studies. two years into their marriage and they welcome a son, henry van helsing, the eldest of what would be two more boys to follow. john and alexander van helsing. though only the two oldest boys will survive into adulthood, alexander being 15 when he dies of pneumonia. the loss devastates the family, especially poor darling alison who grieves her baby son the longest, even years after his passing. however, with his two remaining sons, doctor van helsing passes his knowledge and studies of the supernatural. the applications of mirrors and wolfsbane and crucifixes, holy water and the grounds of a holy church; and thereby the means to rid the world of these monsters. henry and john both take to the world of the supernatural fairly well, both of them expanding upon the research their father started and discovering new species of monsters: werewolves, ghosts, demons, rumors of angels, various accounts of local superstitions and folklore that may have come to life or based in truth.
and alas, the curse must continue … henry, the oldest van helsing boy, years after taking his fathers research and beginning to travel the world to expand upon it, meets a young woman and falls in love with her. they marry within a year, and the next they welcome twins. a boy and a girl. though only the girl survives through the night. they call her elizabeth. two years later, they try for a boy and are successful. they get their wishes for a baby boy and they name him edward, though henrys wife doesn’t live to see their boys first birthday. and a few months after her death, henry discovers something about his sweet boy that will make his life in their world very difficult. edward van helsing was born deaf.
and john van helsing's life was not going any better. he also married and began to have children. three boys and a girl. though tragedy seemed to strike late for their family, as johns wife fell ill after her 40th birthday and never recovered. thereafter, johns middle child, nathaniel, died while tracking down a vampire when he was only 16. his darling girl, sweet alice van helsing, married when she was 18, fell pregnant the following year but became ill and, much like her mother, never recovered. the youngest of his boys, abraham, after his grandfather, tragically lost his life when he was 20 years old, also from a vampire. john van helsing was only survived by one child, his eldest, william van helsing.
the surviving sons both went on to have similar lives. suffering devastating losses throughout their lives, as had their children's children. the “curse” has yet to be broken; and edward van helsing was the first to call it such: a curse, after the tragic loss of his first born son. he detailed the losses in a journal that he kept locked away in his desk, stating that the curse takes loved ones far too soon, that “the more one loves them, the sooner they are taken from you.” and its lived on through the family since that point, family knowledge of the curse is passed from child to child as a precaution, as a warning. though it doesn’t stop them, stop life, the universe from interrupting and giving them love. but each must suffer as a price for that love.
the case is no different generations later. as of recent accounts, sarah van helsing, mother to catelyn and casper van helsing, lost her first born daughter, catelyn, months after having her son. the circumstances of her disappearance are yet to be discovered, though certainly not from the lack of trying. herself and her family, the police, and even casper once he became older have all looked into the disappearance of two year old catelyn van helsing, but no answer is ever found. by all accounts, it seemed as though she simply ceased to exist. vanished into thin air. the case of catelyn van helsing went cold after only a year of investigations. and then, only three years after that, just after casper’s third birthday, isaiah finch, sarah’s beloved husband, is killed when a vampire attacks their home in the middle of the night. and if not for sarah, casper would also not have survived that night. the vampire came for him, for his van helsing blood, but sarah single handedly killed it and mourned her loss after.
sarah and casper were the only survivors of that attack.
