ALUCARD
HE / HIM · TATSUKOI · LAYER 6
Alucard was a botanist working in Dawntide's Botanical Archive. He was part of the head botanist’s elite team, researchers dedicated to maintaining the archive and creating useful crossbreeds of plants.
His life's goal was to find cures for diseases through plants, dedicating his work to crossbreeding them. Much of his research led him to the Blood Rose, a species of rose that thrived in bloodied soil and corpses. The way they interacted with blood made them very useful for creating crossbreeds... most of the time.
In a test involving the Blood Rose and a parasitic plant, he accidentally created a crossbreed that would single handedly change the course of his life.
The night he created the crossbreed, he found himself bedridden and ill. His body ached with pain, and he had an unusual craving that, no matter what he did, would not be sated. The following morning, Alucard awoke in the forest, covered in blood and next to a drained rabbit corpse. A horrifying scene, until he realized the hunger that wracked his body the previous night was gone.
Alucard decided he would exclusively research this crossbreed, now known as the Vampire Rose. But his immediate fixation on this plant did not go unnoticed by his coworkers. Feeling concerned for Alucard, they reported this to the head botanist. After a heated debate between the head botanist and Alucard, he took the crossbreed and stormed out.
Alucard's activities and whereabouts after the debate are unknown. But many believe he is still studying the plant. The remanining researchers studied a specimen mistakenly left behind by Alucard, and quickly discovered its dangerous properties as well as, thankfully, a cure. The plant, now known as the Vampire Rose, has been deemed a hazard to society and must be reported to the Botanical Archive immediately upon detection.
