RP: The Dovans Ain't Dead Yet!
By: Raven Tepes Date: November 15, 2025, 10:45 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
It had been quite a few years since brother and sister duo of
Joseph "Joe" and Erin Dovan had been in or around New Orleans.
The main family had sent Erin west for her own good and sent Joe
with her to keep an eye on her. Of course, Joe had a hell of a
past few years watching over a chaos tornado like Erin. It was
no wonder why she was the favorite of their elder siblings like
Tim who fed off chaos. Joe on the other hand has always been the
family clean up man. Being meticulous seems to be his curse. Now
they were making their way back to the Dovan homestead and
clubhouse of the Crimson Dogs.
Once at the homestead, Joe and Erin were told what had happened
to their older siblings. They were told how they picked a fight
with the acting City Prince, Alucard, and were all killed in a
massive fight. Erin was nearly devastated, crying and yelling at
members of the Crimson Dogs. Joe, on the other hand, went deadly
silent. He was lost in thought on how he might be able to avenge
his siblings. What those outside of the Crimson Dogs don't
realize is that the silent, meticulous ones could be the most
dangerous. They study their target and learn every weakness.
Then they strike. Joe just has to consider one thing. How
powerful is this Alucard. Joe: Come on, Dogs. I need a good
stiff drink after receiving news like this. Let's go to Laura's
Pub.
Erin: How can we go to a bar right now? We have to find this
Alucard and teach him to mess with Dovans! Erin cries out to Joe
with anger in her eyes.
Joe: All in good time, Erin. First, we need to reorganize the
gang and learn more about this Alucard. Then I'll let you go
psycho circus on him. Joe says as he walks out the door towards
his motorcycle. The rest of the gang, 10 members left in all,
follows Joe and get on their bikes as well.
Erin follows begrudgingly with a sour look on her face. She gets
on her motorcycle with a bit of anger as she starts it up. Erin:
Fine. We'll get a drink, but don't expect me to have fun.
Joe: So no bar fights tonight. Check. Then Laura won't kick us
out.
The group then takes off down the road with a thunderous roar.
After a few minutes of riding, the gang gets to Laura's. They
all park, set their bikes, and file into the bar. They take a
seat at a few tables near the pool table while Joe walks over to
the bar with Erin. What few regulars other than Qrow in the bar
leave quickly when the Crimson Dogs walk in. One old fisherman
looks to Qrow and Laura and wishes them good luck with the gang
in the bar. Joe gets to the bar and takes a seat next to Qrow on
a barstool while Erin bounces over and hops onto the stool next
to Joe. Laura gives Joe and Erin a hard, long look before
speaking a bit briskly to the two Dovan siblings. Laura: Well,
look at what the swamp cat drug in. Joe and Erin Dovan, the last
of the Dovan family. What brings you to my bar? And how quickly
can we get the chaos gremlin out of here?
Joe: Joe gives Laura a cool, controlled look. A round of blood
brew from my crew, and an AB positive with Jack for me.
Erin: She gives Laura a big, chaotic grin. I'll have what my
brother is having, but top mine with information.
Laura: She gives the siblings a suspicious look especially Erin.
Not sure if alcohol is good for you, cher. Laura says as she
begins to make the order placed by Joe and Erin. Laura: As for
information, what ya needin' to know?
Joe: I would like to know about this "acting" City Prince they
call Alucard.
Laura gives Qrow a side eye. Laura: Maybe my old man here might
know more about Alucard than me. I tend to stay out of Vampire
Council business.

Qrow continues drinking as they talk. After Laura looks at him
for telling them about Alucard, he looks over to the duo.
Qrow: I don't keep up with that whole thing with the city
princes and stuff. But I will admit, I didn't think anyone
doesn't know who Alucard is at this point. He then puts his
drink down for a moment. There's a few running around the world
at this point with all that's been happening in the last 10
years. But the one you want info on is the one that lives at
Hellsing. There isn't really any secret to who he is. He's one
of the most powerful vampires in the current world, and if you
read Bram Stoker at all or played a Castlevania game, you'd
probably figure out who he really is.

Erin: Castlevania?! I've played that game! She says excitedly as
Laura hands her an AB positive with Jack. Erin: Alucard in the
game is awesome!
Joe: Erin, please. Let the adults talk. He says calmly to Erin
before he returns to Qrow. He takes his AB positive and Jack as
he prepares for what he has to say next. Joe: Now aside from the
book and the video game which we both know can exaggerate truth,
let's assume two people have been out of the loop for the last
10 or 11 years because one of us was sent away for the good of
the city. You say that he's one of the most powerful vampires in
the world. Exactly how powerful is he?
Erin sips her drink as Joe talks but then speaks up suddenly
when he's done. Erin: I bet he's almost as powerful as Papa. Joe
just gives Erin the "be quiet" look.
Laura finishes up the blood brews as Joe speaks to Qrow. She
then takes the tray of drinks over to the table where the rowdy
Crimson Dogs members are sitting. The men in the group hoot and
whistle in sexual manners at Laura who just rolls her eyes.
Laura: Hoot and whistle all ya wanna, boys, but don't touch. You
won't like the consequences.

Qrow looks to Erin. Qrow: You know, if you like Castlevania, we
got an alternate of that Alucard in London with Hellsing. Turns
out there are universes with the Castlevania versions of Dracula
and Alucard. There's also an evil Belmont running around. He
says before turning back to Joe. I suppose I could tell you
stories. Like how he killed an entire vampire nazi army by
himself. How he is immune to holy effects thanks to Hellsing's
modification. How an alternate timeline had a version of him
destroying cities after he went crazy, and that version is now
hanging out here in New Orleans with a friend of his riding
their motorcycles. He gets a serious look as he looks at Joe.
When it comes to strength, you can tell by looking at him.
Strength doesn't come from just how much power you have. True
strength comes from restraint. He then looks at the Crimson
Dogs. Strong people don't need to show off or pretend they're
strong because truly strong people have nothing to prove. He
says, almost as a warning to them about having control first.

Erin gets a thoughtful look and a mischievous grin as she
listens to Qrow. She then muses to herself. Erin: A real live
version of Alucard from Castlevania could be interesting.
Joe: Hmm.. so basically if you p*ss off this Alucard then you're
good as dead. That is if I am understanding this all correctly.
Joe says with a serious, calm thoughtful look on his face.
Unlike other anarch Brujahs, Joe is showing amazing level-headed
skills and restraint that is not found in modern Brujah. Not
since the Lasombra's Great Inquisition has a Brujah displayed
such a collected and cool demeanor. Joe: As for restraint, that
is as uncommon in my fellow Brujah as common sense. Joe says in
a low tone to Qrow as the Crimson Dogs just laugh at Qrow's
remark about restraint. Joe: How far must one go to p*ss off
this Alucard and get themselves killed?
The Crimson Dogs continue to talk and laughing amongst
themselves as Laura finishes handing out their blood brews.
Crimson Dog #1: Thanks, Laura. Been feelin' parched this
evening. Laura nods to that Crimson Dog member and then begins
to leave.
Crimson Dog #2: Is the pool table free tonight, Mama? He asks
before taking a long pull of his drink.
Laura: Every Wednesday is free pool night. Just don't be goin'
and damagin' my table. She says to the second member to talk as
she leaves the group for now. Four of the Crimson Dogs grab a
cue stick each and set the table for a classic game of 8 ball.
For them, tonight isn't about causing trouble but celebrating
the return of Joe and Erin. What they aren't expecting is that
in a few moments an old rival will walk in the door with a
friend. That could heat things up some in the bar tonight.

Qrow looks to Joe as he asks how far one could go without
getting killed.
Qrow: Well... I'd say rule 1 is to not mess with his family and
friends. The other thing I'd recommend is staying off Hellsing's
radar, or the radar of other supernatural hunters in London. So
that means not being a jerk and killing people. Alucard protects
his family and friends, but if you end up being a problem,
Hellsing might get hired by the government to take you down.
Then Hellsing usually sends Alucard to kill you. He takes a
drink. You want my advice... If you have to ask if something is
too far, then just don't do it because it probably is. He says
to Joe. Alucard is usually pretty reasonable. If you're not a
threat to people, then you're probably safe. And if he does
welcome friendly competition at times, so he'd probably welcome
the competition as long as you play by the rules and don't do
anything underhanded.

Erin: I'm bored. I'm gonna put some music on the jukebox. Erin
says more to herself than to anyone else. She quickly spins
around in her seat, gets down, and strides over to he jukebox.
Joe gets a flash of nervousness in his eyes when Erin says that
she is bored, but that quickly disappears as she looks at songs
calmly. Joe: Basically, everything sounds reasonable when he's
described. I'm just tryin' to figure out whose knee caps to bust
out for my siblings death by Alucard's hands. Yeah, most Brujah
are anarchs, rebels, and punks, but usually we're left alone to
make some trouble that would be considered 'normal behavior'. My
siblings did something completely out of character for even us
Dovans and got themselves killed by Alucard is what I am
starting to realize the more that I talk to you. Some of my men
think that my eldest brother was paid to do something extremely
dangerous. Others think that my brother just went to give
Alucard a message about the gang, and that Alucard is the one
who went overboard. I, on the other hand, am not sure where to
even begin lookin' for more clues for the truth without
Alucard's side. Just being a nuisance isn't enough reason to
kill a Brujah. There would be no Brujah left if that was the
case.
The Crimson Dogs members continue to drink and loudly laugh
while some play pool. Erin doesn't find anything good on the
jukebox so she goes over to the rowdy group and picks up a cue
stick. She then calls next game at the pool table.

Qrow thinks for a moment. Qrow: Well, I don't know what you're
family would have done to get on Alucard's bad side. Nor do I
know anything about your situation. He then sighs as he takes
another drink. I don't want to throw anyone under the bus, but I
also don't want to make myself a liar. These days, Alucard
rarely does anything without the permission of Hellsing's
leader, Integra Hellsing, and she typically takes orders from
the government of England. If your family were doing something
that made them a public threat, then it's possible that Hellsing
got the order from the government to take out your family. And
usually, people like Alucard are the ones that get sent out.
England is a bit more strict with supernaturals causing
problems, and they have a lot more supernatural hunter groups
there. If your family made enemies out of groups like Hellsing,
or the Men of Letters, then that might be why they got killed.
Lord knows Hellsing has taken out some pretty tough enemies over
the years.

Joe listens to Qrow carefully and sips his drink. His look is
one of careful thought and consideration. It's obvious that Joe
isn't your typical Brujah. Joe: Hmm.. perhaps I should talk to
this Sir Integra Hellsing then. Everyone knows that Brujah are
rebels and anarchs also called troublemakers, but rarely do we
go to the level of being killed off without a reason. My papa
has gone off the reservation while my siblings seemingly have
fallen prey to some kind of manipulation that got them killed.
My only recourse now is to dig further before taking any actions
that may have deadly outcomes.
Erin goes through the selection on the jukebox with a big grin.
She gets a sparkle in her eye when she finds one she like. Erin
drops in the money, hits her selection, and then goes to grab a
pool cue. She then joins the rest of the bikers at the pool
table.
Laura comes back to the bar after serving the drinks and begins
to clean a glass.
The song put on by Erin:

Qrow continues to drink his drink. Qrow: A wise decision.
Hellsing has powerful allies. Including the Sabbat of London.
The Brujah in London are headed by my daughter in law, Alice
Rynn. And the Assamite clan are headed by my son, Hei Darkfire.
And then my grandson, Kendrix, leads the Lasombra.
