Background
Alucard (アーカード, Ākādo?) is the main protagonist of the Hellsing series created by Kouta Hirano. He is the most powerful weapon of the Hellsing Organization which works against vampires and other such supernatural forces. Alucard is no mere Vampire, he's in fact, Dracula; it has been implied that he is the most powerful vampire alive and may be the most powerful character in the series, rivaled only by The Captain and Alexander Anderson.

- Absorption (Alucard has shown the capabilities of absorption, ranging from biological entities like Tubalcain, absorbing his entire body into himself, to more abstract and fundamental abilities, such as absorbing the blood of others which contains the mind and soul.

As before minus Immortality (Type 4), Resurrection, Summoning, Regeneration Negation (High-Mid), Homing Attack and Sealing - (Alucard spent 30 years killing all the souls inside his body and The Hellhound was killed)
- Quantum Teleportation & Immersion (Alucard's paradoxical nature allows him to exist everywhere he wants Including even the mind of others and their memories much like Schrodinger)

- Limited Void Manipulation (Those who try to assimilate Alucard into their existence will inflict a paradox due to the nature of Alucard's existence, resulting in the erasure of one's body,[1] and possibly their soul and mental self's[2])

Intelligence: Genius (Has over 500 years of combat experience, and used to lead a whole kingdom which won many wars under his command, his real identity is Vlad the Impaler, the infamous warrior and strategist who impaled all of his victims in a war with the Ottoman Empire, a superpower at the time. Alucard has won many battles, being considered one of the best warriors in all of the world, and considered one of the most savage but also clever strategists in history)
Weaknesses: Alucard's heart is his main weak point, destroying it will force Alucard to use one of his many souls to serve as an "extra life" so it may die in his place, extending his life in the process. However, simply damaging Alucard such as cutting his arms or destroying his head will not have Alucard use his souls, instead just activating his standard regeneration without any use of them. If Alucard has no souls left to use, a single fatal strike to his heart will instantly kill him. This may also be true of if his head is destroyed or completely removed. Using Level 0 empties Alucard soul stock, and thus he can be killed with a fatal blow to the heart. Needs to consume blood otherwise he will enter a dormant state | If Alucard is not aware of his existence or absorbs another existence, he will disappear. No longer has 120 thousand lives, as he was forced to kill them all.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Dark Composition: Though he generally dons a corporeal, humanoid form, Alucard is actually made up of a highly variable otherworldly substance that is black in core and reddish on its edges. This can be especially seen whenever he takes heavy damage, the darkness being immune to conventional weaponry. Along with composing his being, it can serve as a weapon. Alucard is able to transform this material into virtually anything he chooses, like a puddle of goo.
- Transformation: When he releases his restrictions to level 1 or 0, he gains the ability to change forms. He has demonstrated the ability to change into multiple forms, but one in particular, a form where he looks mostly like he does normally except wilder and wearing a black straitjacket, is consistently shown to have the most power, as he frequently uses it to overpower enemies who had previously overpowered him in his other forms, such as Luke Valentine, Tubalcain Alhambra, and Alexander Anderson. Outside of this straitjacket form which he uses for battle, he has also demonstrated an ability to turn into an androgynous form commonly known as "Girlycard", which seems to possess the same abilities as his standard red coat-clad form, and his original form as Count Vlad Tepes, which seems to be his weakest form as he turned from it back into his red coat form when he found himself overwhelmed against Alexander Anderson. Each form seems to have a slightly different mood while he is using it, with "Girlycard" being the most flamboyant, Vlad the Impaler seemingly being the most emotional, and Straitjacket being the most animalistic and savage, all while Red Coat is the most gentlemanly and regal.
- Regeneration: Alucard has the ability to perfectly and quickly recover from any physical injury. He has been torn to shreds by conventional weaponry and holy weaponry designed to kill his kind and has survived all of it. Holy weapons, while they do affect him more, are regenerated all the same if not as quickly.
- Hematophagy: As a vampire, Alucard has the ability to consume blood raw. He has long, conical fangs to assist in this job as well as serpentine-like tongue. His feeding habits have been seen to vary: from the traditional neck-biting to simply ripping people to pieces and outright devouring them. Alucard doesn't seem to need blood to survive, however if starved of of it, he will enter an inactive death-like state.
- Aestivation: Alucard will enter a dormant state if he goes too long without blood. It is unknown if he can be starved to death, as he goes decades without a drop of blood before a young Integra finds him. It is never made clear if this is unique to him or if all vampires can do this.
- Hemokinesis: Alucard has the ability to manipulate blood. This ability seems to be limited to blood outside of the body, as he is never seen influencing the blood of enemies while they are intact.
- Soul Absorption: By draining a person of their blood, Alucard gains dominance over their souls and very forms. He also takes on whatever knowledge they possess, as he was able to find out about Millennium by draining Tubalcain Alhambra of his blood.
- Familiar Control: Alucard can summon forth anyone he's taking the soul of at will. He has an entire legion dwelling within him but seems to favor using Baskerville, the Black Dog. Whoever he absorbs, their powers are at his disposal. While Seras gives her familiar, Pip Bernadotte, some free reign within her own soul, Alucard seems content to completely dominate everything living inside him. It is unclear if this is due to their individual wills or a lack of experience on Seras' part. It is unclear if Alucard is able to gain any familiars after consuming Schrödinger.
- Soul Absorption: By draining a person of their blood, Alucard gains dominance over their souls and very forms. He also takes on whatever knowledge they possess, as he was able to find out about Millennium by draining Tubalcain Alhambra of his blood.
- Mist Body: Alucard is capable of turning his body into some sort of dark reddish mist in order to render attacks against him useless.
- Daywalking: Other vampires operate in the dark, because of a presumed weakness to light. Alucard however seems to have no problem with sunlight, only complaining that being up during the day is exhausting.
- Hypnosis: Alucard has the ability to control minds, doing so on exclusively with Humans. The afflicted human will enter a euphoric, stupor-like state and their eyes will glow red. They will be pliant to all of Alucard's designs, doing and speaking as he wills. This hypnotic link is established through direct eye-contact and does not waver, even when Alucard's attention is elsewhere.
- Supernatural Detection: The ability to sense supernatural activity. In The Dawn, a prequel to Hellsing, Alucard knew the Captain was a werewolf the moment he saw him, and in the OVA, he could see the blessings on Father Anderson's bayonets as well as the holy barrier preventing their escape.
