**Vance Helsing** is a major recurring character in Showtube's series, Nevermore Academy.

Vance is the nephew of the infamous vampire hunter Abraham van Helsing. He has inherited his uncle's unnatural immortality, and has been trained as a hunter from his birth by him. He was invited to attend Nevermore Academy by the headmaster in hopes of burying the old hunter ways. Believing himself to be fully human most of his life, he has grown up among monsters in a world where the two groups mutually dislike each other, causing him to be cautious and shy but not easily intimidated. As well as careful and kind, Vance is a dedicated scientist and one of the best students at Nevermore Academy.

## Early Life

Currently, there are no details about Vance's life before Nevermore, however it was confirmed that his parents died in a car crash which cause his uncle to take of him as his uncle was the last remaining relative (other than himself) living.

## Character Biography

Vance's father is a unique, in-fanon version of Bram Stoker's character Abraham van Helsing. This version, after the death of Lilana Morcelle, sought out the aid of a witch doctor to bind his life to Dracula's; the only way for him to die, is for Dracula to die. The magic froze him in his 30s, and gave him regenerative abilities. He has spent the past century hunting down the count, and teaching new generations of hunters on his travels. Vanessa's birth was a total accident, because Abe was uncertain if his immortality would be passed along, and it would appear that it has. Vanessa is also a fast healing immortal, with the added benefit (or handicap) of having a neurological problem that doesn't allow her to feel pain.

## Personality

Vance is a fast thinking, and short fused hunter. He's constantly watching his back for danger, and very used to taking care of himself. He often feels like he was forced to grow up too fast, and quietly wishes he could just drop everything and be a normal teenager sometimes, but whenever that opportunity comes up, something else comes and ruins it for him. So that has leaves him a bit resentful and cold.
