Ah. . . :D

Hmmm. . . I'll be an American exchange student. Sucks to be me. :D
Name: Dracula
Pantheon: Lord Of The Vampires
Powers: Supernatural Strength, the Power to command evil creatures, nocturnal animals and monsters, demons, black magic, and various supernatural horrors on his enemies. He has his weaknesses of a Vampire but they are all weak and he very strongly resists them. Of course, godly expression of his weaknesses will still have dramatic effects. He has a gaze from his eyes and a supernatural voice that is extremely compelling to those who see or hears them. Also, for someone who wants to eat people, he has the frightening ability to command Humans, as if he can magically control them with a strong spiritual Stockholme's Syndrome, especially if he has lingered in a nearby area for long to a people's home.
His sorcery can compel creatures of evil natures to obey him just by his sheer force of personality, but he can gather VERY strong allies whenever he wishes to actually interact with them. His successful schemes are occasionally marked with strong set backs, but he has managed to over come the champions of Good time and time again over his many centuries of living. Somehow he has been into this time period through mystical arts. During the day light hours, all of his powers are drastically reduced, except for his intelligence, strong charm, and so on.
He may be able to prevent the creation of state sponsored Christianity and thus be free of his enemy, The Cross, forever.

Wanna make a team on the servers of TF2?
Oh, and what about a Spamfic?

All I get by Googling it is "Golden Dawn" references, and they are summoners and occulists. They also like "enlightenment" and purification stuff.


So um, what's the verdict on Dracula?
TheUnknowable said
Interesting. So which strand of magic was Hermes in command of? I assume Witchcraft was just a type of magic.


The Hermetic Order. :D
I'm not sure exactly what it was responsible for, but I think it was Alchemy

Except, as the first post said, Cronos no longer had the strength in our present to do it. I suppose he could have sent Dracula back in the 1500s or 1600s, when the Renascence revived interest in ancient greek culture and he would have a little strength. You'd need a good reason for him to help you, though. Revenge might work, as Jesus was responsible for his downfall.And "god of magic" seems more like he helps mortals with powers. If he had dominion over all magic, ie. domain over god powers, he'd be on par with Odin.Travel might work, but it would take a lot of energy to travel so far into the past.Also, I thought Hecate was goddess of magic?Well, in the case of demigods like Heracles, the "god-fetus" came from sometimes asexually reproducing deity Zeus (as happened with Athena). It could be made to work, but you could also say his "Mom" merely taught him magic (in the form of stat buffs or something) and then he learned to tap into belief/prayer as a power source.

Also, the Muslims during the Middle Ages, researched the Greeks/Romans a lot during earlier centuries than the 1400's and 1500's.


Magic, in the European Tradition, is like Martial Arts, there are many strands. Hermes was a god of magic, just as Hecate was the goddess of witchcraft, and maybe magic in general. For a non-Greek goddess the Greeks believed in, she was arguably the most powerful, so they had a smear compaign against her, turning her into the stereo typical witch.

You'd have to have a good way to get him there. I had to resurrect a god to go back.The form of time travel I use simply puts you in your former self. You only get your memories of the future back by going through the same events (you just "know" what will happen if you make a certain decision) or, like me, by getting them again through experiencing the events through premonitions. As he doesn't have a body back there, that form would be worthless. And their aren't too many deities with power over time.


Cronos. . . has power over time. Even Mercury/Hermes could do it, even if it's a stretch, since he's the god of not just travel but magic.

Slight problem, Vlad the Impaler, whom the Dracula legend is based on, wasn't until the mid 15 century. We're starting in the mid sixth century, so it will be a while before we can meet up.That said, there are plenty of dark gods to play as. I figure Lucifer will join us at some point, as might Set and Hades.


I had thought that since time travel is possible in this, that Dracula would be here for some reason anyway. :D
An asteroid mysteriously crashed near the city of San Drad, California. . . Within hours, an army of extraterrestrial creatures were swarming out of the asteroid, and it was apparent that the civilians would need to be gone from the city IMMEDIATELY. The Weyland Yutani Corporation, always eager to get their hands on these live specimen, and ready and wiling to earn public relation points, also infested the city with their opportunistic presence. Some of their employees had good intentions, and even some of their higher ranking elite men at arms were good folks who were sincere in helping their fellow Human beings.

However, the President, his generals and upper staff, including most senior positions, were the greedy, power hungry sort. That's why the United Nations hired the two rival Team Fortress teams, paying them enough for them to put aside their vendettas and grudges, for the time being, to help with the evacuation. One billion in U.S Dollars per mercenary isn't that bad of a deal. Even if you don't you're co-workers, this is only supposed to be a one time job, and a billion dollars per man for a few days, even in life threatening situations is appealing. Besides, the good folk of California hadn't done anything to them, so they didn't much care if they could stop fighting long enough to do something charitable.

However, there were already some folk in San Drad who were attempting to prevent the spread of this alien menace, evacuate the people, or at least stem the tide of the rising death toll. They most certainly failed to prevent the spread of Xenomorph infestations across the city and surrounding areas, but they were good at keeping people safe, even if it was only for a temporary duration. There are some areas in the city with clean water, even electricity and almost a normal semblance of life, with proper sanitation, and the ability to treat sickness and ailments, as long as security held out. Red, Blue, and Weyland Yutani all worked together to protect the people of San Drad from the man eating creatures, but this is not just a problem for San Drad, which leads us to the others. . .

Batman, visiting San Drad at the time of the asteroid collison. . . Spiderman, Captain America, etcetera, and others had banded together to prevent the spread of the swarm, and save as many innocents as possible. As it is now, no one has found a way to evacuate the people of San Drad safely. Teleportation technologies have not proven reliable, since just as the asteroid collision made ground contact, a mysterious energy pulse paralyzed the energy in and around San Drad needed to escape the city through teleportation. This is the work of the Yautja, the Predator race who sought a glorious hunt on the Earth.

At the further pleas for help, Skynet had unleashed their new Terminator Program, unleashing their own technology power house against the biological monsters that attempted to spread their menace across the Zones of Quarantine. California and Washington State are barely being contained to keep the Quarantine from expanding. And there have been a few very odd failures in any attempt to save the citizens of this area in California from their fate as an alien meal. All eyes are on our protagonists now. The fate of California, Washington, the Nation and maybe even the entire world is in their power. Or is it?
