Alucard (Castlevania)

How Alucard joined the Tourney
In the age of no Belmonts, Alucard witnesses Dracula rising and falling many times. He begins to seek a way in which he could permanently destroy his father. When the Vampire Killer whip is passed down to the Morris Clan, he creates the Alucard Spear with the intention of it supporting the Vampire Killer whip, and he bequeaths it to the Lecarde Clan (some speculate these are his descendants).

One day, many years later, he enters the time rift. In it he faces the minions of Dracula, Carmilla and Death. He then defeats his father, proving that he had the power to defeat him even when he was at his full power.

When he returns to his normal place in time, he continues his quest to ultimately defeat Dracula. He later hears about Nostradamus's prophecy that stated that Dracula would rise in the year 1999. Alucard makes preparations for the ultimate defeat of Dracula. He enlists the services of the priest of the Hakuba Shrine and they perform a ritual that seals Dracula's Castle inside of a solar eclipse, which separates him from the source of his power, thus breaking his cycle of resurrection. Julius Belmont, the Belmont who returned, defeats Dracula one final time and he is finished.

Feeling he might be at peace with Dracula dead, Alucard prepares to go into seclusion, and emerge only to avenge the innocent. Suddenly, he learns that someone tends to give Dracula a vessel for his resurrection, Forest Law.

After the announcer calls his name
Alucard positions his sword in a reverse grip as the camera zooms saying "Who calls me?"

Summon Spirit (Neutral)
Alucard will summon a purplish-black spirit from his hand which will arc upwards toward his opponent.

Tetra Spirit (Side)
Alucard will put his hand on the ground, shout "Devour them!" and will call forth four spirits. They will stay on the ground until they lock a nearby target, and will then go after it or will fade away. If he was in the air while casting the spell, they appear in front of him and will hover in place until determining a target.

Wing Smash (Up)
Alucard will shout "No escape!", sprout bat wings and glide forwards very quickly with a broad swipe of his sword, knocking his opponent to the ground. In midair, he glides upwards with a broad swipe.

Summon Sword Familiar (Down)
Alucard will cause a magic circle to form underneath a nearby target and from it a sword familiar will appear, slicing up its victim from underneath.

Hellfire (Hyper Smash)
Alucard warps and launches three waves of three fireballs at the opponent.

Inferno Blade (Final Smash)
Alucard will shout "Now!" and perform a Wing Smash move. If he successfully strikes his opponent, he will take them to another realm and will place his sword in the dirt, where it will become lit on fire. His bat wings will grow enormous and he will yell "Here I come!", then pick up his sword and rocket towards his opponent quickly, strike them and send them flying upwards. He back flips in the air and then pushes himself off of a hovering magical circle, launching himself downwards and forwards towards his opponent again, declaring "It's over!" He lands while his opponent erupts into flames in the air behind him and then says "Burn away!"
