<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Height/Weight: 165cm ・ 48kg

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Series: Fate/Grand Order

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Source: Bram Stoker's Dracula, various fictions

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Region: Europe

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Alignment: True ・ Neutral

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Gender: Male

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">She wields various weapons specifically designed to hunt vampires, like holy daggers called Wild Roses: Unregistered Sanctified Keys, and pneumatic-hammer-like weapon called Holy Rowan:Unregistered Phantasmal Scripture.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">=======================================================================

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">The archetypal Vampire Hunter himself, Abraham Van Helsing, born from the imaginations of writer Bram Stoker in 1897. He is a formidable doctor with a wide range of interests and expertise and, while vampires weren't primordial subjects on his thesis, his encounter with Count Dracula and all subsequent adaptations of his character turned him into what we all know him for.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">He first appeared in the book when he was called by the doctor Seward to study the condition of Lucy Westenra, freshly bitten by Count Dracula. He tried to save her with blood transfusion, garlands of garlic and a gold crucifix but due to unlucky circumstances (and the greed of a maid), it wasn't enough and she turned. At this point, h e had no choice but to pierce a stake through her heart and behead her, saving her soul.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> This event gives way to popular beliefs that vampires are weak to religious items, garlic and being stabbed.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> =======================================================================

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> In the novel, old man Van Helsing doesn't know much about vampires, but he doesn't deny that they exist. Studying Jonathan Harker's notes about his encounter with Count Dracula, he stored all the knowledge he could about the subject and prepare for an assault on the Count's newly acquired castle in England. Helped by the Harkers, Dr Seward and Quincy Morris, he came to the beast's lair with the firm intention to kill its lord.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Vampire Hunter: the Personal Skill of Van Helsing. It allows for an accurate and flawless knowledge of any vampire-tracking or vampire-killing methods. In the real world, vampires or Dead Apostles don't follow the same pattern as the novel (although there are similarities). Thanks to this skill, Mina has full access to the Church's expertise and even arsenal through her Class Skill Item Construction, and even her Noble Phantasm is remodelled to be more effective.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">"You might find this funny, but all of Mr. Stoker's ideas come from a priest

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> =======================================================================

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> Dracula puts his curse into Mina Harker, Jonathan's wife, as punishment for sneaking in. Something had to be done to save her and prevent her from succuming to the same fate that Lucy Westenra succumbed to. This curse also gives Dracula mental control onto her, making it impossible for them to both advance and protect the lady. The doctor used "Hostia", sacramental bread used in the Christian ritual of the Eucharist, as what we would call a Bounded Field to prevent any magical interference.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> The book was on a countdown, and they had to place Mina's salvation on a gambit: killing Dracula before she turns would free her. ---Thankfully Stoker made it work that way, but this doesn't apply to the real world.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> =======================================================================

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Tepes Providence: A Finale to this Symphony of Terror

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Type : Anti-Evil, Anti-Vampire, Anti-Apostle, Anti-Bounded Field / Rank: C~EX / Range : 1

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">The True Name of Van Helsing's Noble Phantasm, or more precisely its "Optimal Name". By uttering these words, she summoned the final form of Holy Rowan, turning the whole mechanism into a massive mana-dependant rocket launcher equiped with a uni-directional high-density UV beam designed to stun and weaken a vampire, making it an easy target for the stake-like sanctified rocket to pierce.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">The Anti-Apostle function ranked it A+. At rank EX, it can potentially pierce the Bounded Field of a Dead Apostle in one-go, but the sudden "recoiled" mana consumption would kill even the strongest Servant.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">...Here it is. I'm not very satisfied to be honest. I wanted to make her an anti-Berserker unit (with hindrance to Vlad III with skills that remove Guts and counter Bloodsucker) but I ended up with someone that isn't useful against all Berserkers, all because it wouldn't make sense lore-wise. Should I just use Story-Gameplay Segregation for the sake of game design?

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">I also wanted to make Mina Harker instead of Van Helsing, but it would have a make even less sense than just genderbending the old guy... Eh... Too bad.
