@Turboshitter No, shit, really? I mention that his character draws a lot from another, pre-existing vampiric character, and it turns out that his backstory has major parallels to said pre-existing character? Who'd've thunk THAT would be a major thing? I mean, not to be rude, but... it's right in the character sheet.
Evidently, this guy is based on Vlad "Țepeș" Dracula, or rather the vampire character who spawned from his acts and inherits his name. However, a lot of inspiration for Vladimir's character, his backstory in particular, comes from Dio Brando of JJBA fame, which I feel isn't too unsuitable given that the real Dracula was called "The Impaler" for a very good reason. That said, his appearance is derived from that of Alucard of Hellsing fame, and there's also a reference to The Domination of Draka in there, to make the name less of a straight theft from real life, and which still fits given the heavy dragon theming in his character.
