Personality/Mannerism
A former scoundrel who was once arrogant and a megalomaniac. He was overconfident in his power, and it ended in him being forced to go into hiding for years. Vladimir had always been proud, and remains so to this day, but has changed his ways. Ever since he took Nikolas in, his sadistic personality turned around. He became caring and nurturing, and almost overprotective of the young child he found. He resisted the temptation to devour his soul and drain him of his blood, wanting to keep this child as his own. Emotions he never had before had awakened within him. Even though he stills remains proud and solemn, he is a proper gentleman who cares a great deal about his son. Some of his old sadistic self still remains, and especially shows when fighting, but has learned to direct it towards those whom are his true enemies.
When it comes to women, he can be rather seductive and flirtatious, something that comes naturally to him, and can be rather persuasive when he wants to be, but only to those who are susceptible to such things.
He is protective of his son, and is quick to anger when someone harms or threatens Nikolas.

History/Background
Was once considered a lord, a king even, but he had become sick of always hiding, always hiding in the shadows. Vladimir had revealed himself to the public, but quickly became very infamous for being a murderer and consumer of souls. He had gone down the path of becoming a kishin the moment he discovered he could taste an individual's soul through their blood, and immediately became addicted to the taste of pure souls. Dracula had become a name he was known by, a name that was feared. He would drain the blood from his victims, and consume their souls. Dracula could lure these victims to him by the sound of his violin, a skill that was difficult to do. There are many rumors surrounding him. Such as how his blood eventually became black and why he can take on the form of the very weapon Hunters hunted him down with. But his black blood was obtained from the fight against a Black-Blooded weapon, having become infected and since he grew extremely close to being completely devoured by the madness, it took over his blood. Vladimir was obsessed with obtaining power, with proving he was the strongest. It had increased to the point where he challenged Lord Death himself, even going as far as making a bet. It was that fight that changed everything. He lost, and in humiliation, disappeared and went into hiding instead of keeping his word. Dracula starved himself knowing that if he killed again, Death would find him. But this only drove him closer to madness.
It was till one day when he roamed throughout Russia, he came upon an abandoned newborn infant. An infant who carried a witch soul. Vladimir had almost killed him on sight, wanting to consume the powerful soul he had, but he could not. The moment the child opened his eyes, something struck him and he couldn't bring himself to harm the child. Long forgotten emotions stirred within him and he knew he needed to protect this child. Vlad took in the child and did everything he could to keep him away from his old life, to raise him as his own child whom would be great. He promised himself he would never consume another pure soul for as long as he lived. To avoid having the child run into those whom feared or despised his name, he gave the boy a last name different from his own. Nikolas Kirill Spiridon. Vladimir refused to have his son tainted by the name of Dracul.
The moment he learned that Nikolas had the potential to become a meister, he immediately began teaching him how to play the violin, wanting his son to be the only person he could trust with his weapon form. His son became a violin prodigy, and at this time he had learned whom his mother was. The former Witch of Winter. Though he never learned who his son's real father was till the very night Nikolas was confronted by him. He had come close to losing Nik, and let the madness take over in order to drive off the kishin whom tried to kill his son.
Vladimir eventually learned of DWMA, and the moment he found out that Lord Death was the founder, immediately confronted him. He now serves under him as he had promised when he lost to him. Vlad is a teacher for DWMA, and has had Nikolas enrolled as well. He has no interest in becoming a Death Weapon, and thusly, his son does not work towards that specific goal since Vladimir refuses to consume souls of any kind now.
Weapon Form
Violin-
~The bow to the violin is extremely sharp and can be used to slice and dice
~ His blood makes up the strings (but come out the color of his soul) and can detach in order to attack or deflect soul attacks
~ The sound waves from the violin can be extremely deadly not only to the brain but to the body as well
~The sound is actually the wavelength of both Vlad and his meister's souls resonating together, which can be harmful to the listeners if played a certain way
Crossbow-
~Fires bolts made out of the meister's soul wavelengths
~Is a little heavy and can be used as a bludgeoning weapon
Soul Resonance Form
Crossbow only- 
Soul Color Crimson
Clan N/A
Weapon Type Musician/Hunting
Abilities
♬ Can move at seemingly unnatural speeds (but only at night or in the cover of shadows)
♬ Is able to taste a person's soul through their blood
♬ Can manipulate his blood for attacking, but mainly uses them as whips. (much like Senri Shiki from vampire knight, 'cept Vlad's blood is black)
Main Attacks
♪ Brain Damage- Depending on the frequency of the sounds from the violin, it can cause an significant amount of damage to someone's mind and the brain itself. It can cause hallucinations, headaches, memory loss or even hypnosis.
♪ Internal Lacerations- Depending on how the violin is played, the vibrations from the sound can rupture or pretty much damage the inside of the body causing internal bleeding.
♪ Blood Bolts- Instead of shooting bolts of concentrated soul wavelength, his crossbow form can fire bolts made from his black blood. ~They are more dangerous since the blood can infect someone, but have the potential of bringing Vladimir closer to madness, plus it weakens him a little~
Hobbies
• Playing chess
• Reading
• Playing the Violin and Piano
Flaws
• Due to having constantly maintain his current appearance, it causes him to need to consume blood
• Still craves the taste for pure souls and he must fight that temptation to consume one

• Because of the sharpness of his bow, it has the capability to slice through his violin strings if his meister is not extremely careful while playing (it can harm him in the process)
• When he needs to feed, his powers and even weapon forms become considerably weaker
• The madness is still very strong within him, and he struggles with it every day, wanting to keep his promise that he will no longer consume souls

(If there is anything I need to limit more, let me know please. But be specific. He's pretty limited since he's trying to NOT relive his old life, so some abilities may never even be used)
