Dracula

Vladimir Dracula, also known as Smokelord 2 , Count Dabula, Bram Toker, or Vlad the Inhaler, is a member of the Battle Castle Tabernacle as well as the top first-aid doctor in the BCT. He is the second iteration of the Smokelord, and is the only one to have circumvented his own demise by keeping himself in a stasis for the past 2500 years. He is currently creating the ultimate strain of cannabis, the Transylvania Haze.

## Origin

Dracula was born around 3000 years ago as the second iteration of the Smokelord, and lived his early life researching the properties of the unique element, Smoke. He became obsessed in his studies of the element, learning how the properties of many gases in the process. He became known as an eccentric researcher, keeping himself removed from the outside world as he began to delve deeper into the history of the Smokelord. In the tradition of the Smokelords, Dracula created the third Smokelord. After creating his next iteration, the Smokelords power began to flow into its next host. However, Dracula circumvented this by turning his body and consciousness into smoke, which was then hidden at the bottom of his home.

3000 years later, Dracula would be rediscovered by a team of Smokelord enthusiasts in his old basement. The crypt itself was revealed after the Crunch nearly destroyed the land where Dracula once lived. Upon releasing the smoke from the crypt, Dracula reformed in his original human body. However, it seemed that the unnatural process of himself not dying with the ascension of the next Smokelord seemed to change his body. While he had not died, his body had been drained of the Smokelord power, leaving him a shell of his former self.

Dracula soon discovered that his old home was in ruins, and decided to collect what little of his research he could and head to New Crunk City with the people who discovered him. One of the group, Mack McMicheal, offered Dracula a hit of his dab rig on the journey, leading to the discovery that Dracula could somewhat regain his powers if he smoked the finest hash. It seemed that his bodies affinity for smoke hadn't left, he simply had to absorb it externally.

Upon his arrival at NCC, Dracula would take up a position as a doctor at the Battle Castle Tabernacle. This job paid well enough for Dracula to begin his studies once more, which were now directed towards creating the finest smoke that could bring Dracula back to his former state as a Smokelord. Today, Dracula is the top doctor at the BCT due to his understanding of human anatomy and his special move.

## Powers and Abilities

While no longer being a Smokelord, Dracula's research into cannabis smoke has allowed to him temporarily reach states similar to his old status of Smokelord. When given sufficient ganja, Dracula is able to briefly use the Smoke Style and the Smoke Element like a Smokelord, although he has yet to perform to the same level as the real deal. However, his cunning and experience with smoke make shim a formidable foe.

His special move, Smoke Sanguine, is a transmutation ability that involves close concentration. Using it allows Dracula to briefly transform parts of living tissue into smoke, and with proper control the smoke is a far easier medium for healing than solid matter. Its quick and efficient methods make his healing powers unmatched in the BCT.
