Period 2- Team 4 (Buss Down Dr4culana)

Alvin Huang, Sammi Pan, Eugene Jeong, Sebastian Mei, Danny Xie, Luis Alfred Valmonte

Vampire’s Ethnicity: African American / Japanese


Justification: Norrington, Stephen, Director. Blade. 1998- A pregnant black woman was attacked by a vampire and succumbs to infection, but the baby survives. He becomes a half vampire, half vampire hunter. Kishimoto, Masashi. “The Challengers!!” Naruto, vol. 5 https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Orochimaru - Orochimaru - Since vampires are known throughout the world and are a powerful monster in different works of fictions even though historically there are not many Japanese myths surrounding vampires, more modern works have vampires or characters that are inspired by vampires like Orochimaru from Naruto


Vampire’s Abilities: Super Speed, Super Strength, Shape-Shift into snake, Super Healing, Sucks blood out of victims, Gets younger by sucking blood out of victims


Justification: In the anime, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, a character named Dio Brando put on the ancient stone mask becomes a vampire, he has super strength, speed, and increases healing ability. Like most vampires, they have the ability to have super speed and strength. They are able to lift trees, cars and gargantuan things that nobody would think they could. So our vampire has those abilities for her to be able to run faster than everybody else and be able to lift heavy things so she is able to beat someone up.  A character in Naruto named Orochimaru spreads a curse by biting into his victims. He can also turn into a snake.
Red Field in One Piece flies around as a vampire and sucks the life force out of victims, which ages them exponentially.

Araki, Hirohiko. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Vampire - when Dio Brando first encounters a vampire, it starts to suck his blood to become younger

Kishimoto, Masashi. “The Challengers!!” Naruto, vol. 5 https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Orochimaru -


Vampire’s Weakness(es): Afraid of water, Cannot swim, Can’t be exposed to sunlight, Ages but slowly, Can be incapacitated (e.g. by fire, bullets)


Justification: Vampires are typically weak to holy water, so we made our vampire not weak to water, but very scared of it. Since the vampire is so afraid of water, it results in her inability to swim.
One Piece Unlimited World Red. Microsoft Windows, Bandai Namco Games, 2017 - Weak to water
Tartakovsky, Genndy, director. Hotel Transylvania. Universal, 2012 https://hoteltransylvania.fandom.com/wiki/Vampire - Vampires age slowly
Araki, Hirohiko. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Vampire - vampires disintegrate in the sun and they succumb to fire and bullets, but they recover


Vampire’s Reproduction: Fruit that when eaten, becomes a vampire.


Justification: Our vampire was born by eating an exotic fruit called Batto Batto no Mi, which translates into Bat Bat fruit: Model Vampire. In the anime, One Piece, a pirate was able to obtain this fruit and once he took a bite, he became a vampire. She took a bite into the same fruit and transformed herself into a vampire too. Getting extraordinary powers from this extremely rare, hard to find fruit, she is given the powers she couldn’t have dreamed of.  

One Piece Unlimited World Red. Microsoft Windows, Bandai Namco Games, 2017 https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Batto_Batto_no_Mi,_Model:_Vampire “Batto-Batto No Mi” This fruit allows the eater to become a vampire.


Vampire’s Camouflage: Shapeshifting into a snake
Profession: Doctor


Justification: Similar to the theater vampires in Interview with the Vampire, monsters are hunted actively. So giving our vampire the status of a doctor would allow easy access to blood as well as create a cover for her vampiric desires so she can hide in plain sight as she falls victim to her urges similar to those of the theater vampires.

Kishimoto, Masashi. “The Challengers!!” Naruto, vol. 5 https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Orochimaru - Orochimaru is able to turn into a snake to use it in combat or to escape


Vampire’s Home: Treehouse located in Southern Ghana


Justification: Relating back to our vampire’s African American origins, vampire folklore in southern Ghana. The vampires were called the Asanbosam and lived in the trees of the forests.

HolidayHoliday is a secretive squonk from deep in the darkness of the forests. She loves helping people. “Asanbosam and Sasabonsam.” Vampires, 11 Jan. 2010, https://www.vampires.com/asanbosam-and-sasabonsam/


Vampire’s Preferences: Women


Justification: We wanted our vampire to be a rebel to the eras of the 1700s. When it comes to sexual desires, she prefers women over men any day. However, she is a hopeless romantic. When she falls in love with a woman, she falls deeply in love and would do everything in her power to make her happy. She is the sentimental type and that's why all of her relationships last until the other person dies. Since she is immortal, she has gone through many lovers, and the distinct thing is that she is into mortal lovers. She believes that the best love is found through the experiences shared with someone in certain moments and with limited time. She found the best loves are the people who are closest to you.

Ward, Pendleton. “Adventure Time.” https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Marceline - Marceline - a vampire in Adventure Time - had a best friend named Princess Bubblegum, who in the end, shared a kiss


(Optional) Add Your Own: Pirate


Justification: One Piece Unlimited World Red. Microsoft Windows, Bandai Namco Games, 2017 https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Batto_Batto_no_Mi,_Model:_Vampire - The main character, Luffy, is an adventure seeking pirate who finds the vampire in this game.
