Thanks, guys. :) Nice to know that there is some support for this idea. Anyway, while I was at school, I came up with a plot idea that's sort of based on one that was in the forum I supplied: You are travelling along, passing the Barren Caves (must be at night), when you see a man struggling to fight off a few vampires. Should you choose to help him out, he will reveal himself to be Prof. Abraham Van Hellsing, and he would like to recruit you as a fellow vampire hunter. You agree, of course, and then Hellsing asks that you meet him somewhere secret (don't know where. Probably in a house in the Imperial City, or something). When you arrive there, you find that there are several other people: five men, including Hellsing, and one woman. They introduce themselves as the characters from Bram Stoker's novel: that would be Johnathan and Mina Harker, Arthur Holmwood, Quincy P. Morris, Dr. John Seward, and of course Hellsing himself. They tell you the story of how they came to hunting vampires; namely one vampire, Count Dracula. You agree to help them, and proceed to a seemingly abandoned castle, where you face off with the Count and his three wives. However, unlike in the novel, Dracula does not die. Instead, Hellsing agrees to spare him so long as the vampire serves his family until the end of time. Dracula hesitantly accepts, having no other choice except death, and he becomes Alucard. I'm not sure how we would incorporate the modern day Hellsing organization, or their enemies, unless the plot continues somehow. Like, there is a fastforward in time, or something. Or, perhaps after another mission or two, Hellsing dies, and you take up the mantel and agree to take Alucard to Hellsing's son, or whatever. Or Alucard remains your constant companion. I dunno. It's just a thought. :)
