Summary[]
For well over a millenia, Count Dracula (A.K.A. Vlad "The Impaler" Tepes) has haunted the minds and hearts of the billions of people all over the world. However, during that time period there was a family of vampire hunters that stood in Dracula's way: The Belmont Family. Simon, Trevor, Christopher, They have slayed Dracula's forces and even silenced the dirtbag vampire before he could achieve in his goal of world domination.
The Belmont Family's qualities[]
Vampire Killer[]
The Belmont Family has proven that wooden stakes and hammers are for pansies when it comes to defeating Dracula. They used a whip, which is known as "The Vampire Killer". This whip has unique magical powers, it can transform from a standard leather whip to a chain-link whip with a ball at the end if it to a stream of fire. This weapon has helped the Belmont's achieve glory and sometimes immortality to the people of Transylvania.
Superhuman Strength[]
It ha sbeen said throughout the story of Castlevania that the Belmonts have superhuman strength. This is because their strength far surpasses that of a normal human and people were so afraid of them that they banished the Belmonts out of Transylvania. Soon, the Belmonts' have proved their superhuman strength is just what the Transylvanians needed to defeat Dracula. The Belmonts are capable of performing feats that some normal humans can't. Plus, the Belmonts are also into women that're capable of magic (E.G. Sypha Belnades, Anette Renard), to preserve their superhuman strength.
Strong Religious beliefs[]
Now, I JohnnyOTGS don't talk about religion normally. However, the Belmonts have a strong belief in their religion: Christianity. So, it's supposed to guide them into their fight against Dracula and his ever growing army of the undead.
