Jump 010: Hellsing

 >Jump 10: Hellsing
>Death (A major change or transformation, possibly traumatic and unexpected.)
...Well. Fuck. I'm glad that card does not literally mean death, because this is probably a jump that could deliver that to me.
>Age: 23
>Location: The United Kingdom (obviously)
>Affiliation: The Hellsing Organization (+400)
>Drawbacks: Midnight Stroll (+0)
So... we've got the delight that is the Abridged cast, plus a bunch of fucking Nazi vampires. You know what? I can deal with this; they're in zeppelins and I have anime rules on my side. Pity that 400 points are riding on fulfilling my win conditions and I can't spend them right away, but I suppose I'll have to live with it.

>Unassuming (1300)
It never hurts to be underestimated. Especially since basically everyone is going to be slaughtered when the Valentine brothers come to visit. Of course, at this point I should be good enough to NOT be killed along with the rest, but this is Hellsing and their vampires are hardcore. Fortunately, the dice are merciful.
>Feared (Free)
Well, I'm working for Hellsing. If I'm not feared, I'm not doing it right.
>Unwavering (1100)
The will to stare death in the eye and sucker punch him... yeah, that's an absolute must, here.
>The Art of War (900)
I'm less worried about the charisma, though it is nice - I'm more about the multitasking and the out-planning my opponents. It's going to be a must, when everyone is deliberately turning a blind eye to the possibility of it being fucking nazis.
>Dark Binding (700, discount)
So... do vampires HAVE souls here? That should prove interesting, to say the very least, though I highly doubt I'll get in the way of Seras or Alucard in killing anyone.
>Puppetmaster's Strings (600, discount)
Walter's skilled with those things, I'd love to get my hands on them as well, if I can even do half the things he can.
>Alucard's Embrace (0, discount)
Locked until the win condition - defend London and destroy Millennium - has been fulfilled.

According to the dice, I did a pretty terrible job early on against anyone with a name - while I'm all about killing ghouls (and mercy-killing the converted Hellsing staff, no blood rage for Seras today), there's simply no possibility of my killing any big-name people until the end. As the only survivor it meant a promotion - going from grunt work to apprenticing to Walter is nice, but it means I follow Seras and Alucard around and clean up after them. Not so sure I like this. Especially considering that Bernadotte is still tagging along, I just don't like that guy.

Skipping ahead a bit, the defense of London is not as hard as it otherwise might be, since I'm not at the manor when it goes down. I'm cheerfully making use of things I had from earlier jumps as well as one particular thing I need for this to work. To wit: grappling hook and wingsuit so I can get altitude and get it fast, and an anti-materiel rifle. This means I can get around London probably as quickly as needed, while the rifle means that dealing with the zeppelins is made easy - instead of trying to bring them down with regular rounds (because honestly who the hell thought THAT was a good idea, you should have used the grenades first, Seras) you shoot them with a big enough incendiary rounds, penetrate the gas bag, watch it explode and start taking all the compartments next to it down, and move on to the next airship. Hindenburgs for days.

And as far as the climax... the dice confirmed there was no chance of dodging the whole plan to kill Alucard by dealing with Schrodinger, and while I may not have gotten to the Major's zeppelin as fast as everyone else, I at least got to take out the freaky doctor. Walter not being a turncoat meant he was at Integra's side the entire time, with the fortunate side effect of keeping her from being shot in the face.

With London's casualties reduced, Alucard kills himself for years... but not decades. And now I am a vampire lich. Is that even a thing?
