A Vampire Physiology for the verse, to slightly clean up their pages and make it easier to add abilities.

Here are the characters effected by this

Vampires: Alucard, Seras

Artificial Vampires: Tubalcain Alhambra, The Valentine Brothers, Rip Van Winkle, Zorin Blitz, and Vampire Walter

Minor Alucard Regen Downgrade
So currently Alucard's Base Regen is High-Mid due to him Regenerating his entire body until bones appeared, and regenerating his head and arm

However in the HELLSING Guidebook (this is relating to him regenerating his Head)
it's stated that the reason Alucard didn't die from getting beheaded was because of his Soul Regen (which is Low-Godly)


Since Regening from decapitation is Mid Regen, Alucard should get downgraded their Regular Regen downgraded to Low-Mid

Agree: @Crabwhale (Agrees with Regen downgrade), @ActuallySpaceMan42 (Agrees with Regen downgrade

Disagree: @Crabwhale (Disagrees with adding a Vampire Physiology)

Neutral:

I always thought the decapitation would kill him without his soul stock. So, you're not being clear here, is this regeneration downgrade for Alucard without any souls, and what's that about Low-Godly? The regeneration part of this is pretty unclear.
 
immortality 9 should stay
i forgot Alucard's souls are stored within his coffin
...I feel like this should be something that should have been on the profile in the first place, like why isn't there an explanation
 
Isn't that for Schrodinger?
both keys have low godly
When we're discussing Alucard, his "regular" regeneration could refer to his soul stock given that he has it 90% of the time.
The explanation for Low-Godly on the wiki is
"The ability to regenerate from the complete physical destruction of the user's body, instead restoring it from their disembodied consciousness, whether that be their soul, mind, some other non-physical aspect of themself, esoteric or metaphysical energy, or something else"

while idk who added that on the profile, I'm assuming it was added because it was the most upper limit to soul regen
 
I'm not sure we can give Pre-Schrodinger Alucard Low-Godly. Schrodinger Alucard got it for recreating his body from physical non-existence. No such feat exists for Pre-Schrodinger. The best I can think of is regeneration from a mass of goop and the fact he turns into bats and bugs and regrows from that.
 
Do the characters have enough abilities to warrant a physiology page though? Typically that's done when the verse either has a positively huge number of characters with the same abilities, or a massive list of abilities possessed by many characters, or both. I'm unsure Hellsing vampires in general have enough abilities to make a page about them, and there are only 8 vampires in total with the majority of abilities being uniquely Alucard's.

I read your above post earlier. That doesn't mean we should really be making a physiology page for a relatively short list of abilities.

It doesn't help that the artificial vampires actually outclass the normal vampires due to copying Alucard, so their abilities are more like Knock-Off Alucard Physiology than Vampire Physiology.
 
The page meets the requirements to exist.
Meeting the bare bones requirements to exist doesn't mean I have to like it or approve of it. I don't believe Hellsing vampires are complicated enough to have an entire page going into comprehensive detail about it, and certainly even less so when the majority of the people which this would apply to aren't even proper vampires. Artificial ones get barely any of the super impressive/complex shit that Seras and especially Alucard can tap into.

There is an epidemic of unnecessary verse-specific power pages on the wiki and I would rather not contribute to it.

But that's a matter of opinion. I answered above because they said I hadn't reached a sufficient number of characters, when I had.

What? Normal vampires are vampires, like Alucard. The thing is, he got too strong. Artificial vampires can't turn others into vampires, unlike real vampires, like Alucard or that priest from the beginning. Before learning about artificial vampires, Alucard hoped that those vampire boyfriends to regenerate their wounds, transform into bats or mist. The same goes for Luke. Alucard thought that because Luke was a vampire, he could regenerate his legs, transform, and summon familiars. Because Alucard thought he was a "normal" vampire who could do that. But later we learn that they were artificial vampires who lacked several vampire abilities.

So just say you don't like it. Instead of saying there aren't enough characters, when there are.

Actually, aside from meeting the required number of user, there is also thr amount of abilities requirement, so yeah, need a considerate amount of abilities

Meeting the minimum number doesn't mean it should be made. The purpose of a verse specific powers page is to prevent ability lists from extending to the horizon, not to be made automatically when a verse has more than five of the same species.

He said Luke was stronger than any vampire he'd met. The priest didn't display the same abilities as Alucard, the surface walking is never shown by normal vampires, and so on. There are too many uncertainties and differences between artificial and real vampires to make an ability page for them both.
So just say you don't like it. Instead of saying there aren't enough characters, when there are.
It isn't that there aren't "enough characters". There aren't many abilities to warrant a separate page, and just being over five doesn't automatically mean it should be made. Verses like Dragon Ball and Bleach have so many characters and/or abilities that they need those pages. Hellsing does not, from what I can tell.

In fact, there are only 10, and it doesn't even say that they need to be complex skills.

You're talking about physical strength. Normal vampires are superior to artificial vampires in abilities; they have more abilities, as Alucard mentions. Strength itself is more the sum of the character's power and the vampiric transformation. Walter himself destroyed Alucard, but in terms of vampiric abilities, he didn't have much.

The priest appeared for a very short time and was killed quickly, he didn't have time to show anything (although he could turn others into vampires)

Surface walking is kind of bleh? Like, we only have three "normal" vampires in the series. The Priest from the beginning who died quickly (we don't even know if he had already turned someone into a familiar), Alucard, and Seras. The first one didn't even have any screen time; Alucard demonstrated surface walking, and Seras basically demonstrated the same as Alucard to a lesser extent.

The rules are like: 5 characters and 10 skills (less if they're very important).

If I have 5 characters and they have 10 extremely simple skills like superhuman physiques, natural weaponry, large size, etc. That already meets the requirements.

If the problem is that you didn't meet the requirements for the number of powers, it's basically just 2 missing to meet 10. I remember that artificial vampires have low regeneration, which would already give them 9 powers, with just one missing.

Minimum requirements doesn't mean the page needs to be made, and its purpose is still as I described.

He's comparing them to himself. No normal vampire displays the abilities he describes so we can't assume they have them. We also know that he doesn't consider vampires to be real vampires in a sense anyway, since none have lived up to himself.

We don't know what regular vampires can do, I'm afraid it really is that simple. We can't assume they can do what Alucard can do, we can't assume they can do what the artificial vampires can do since they are Alucard knock-offs. All we really have to go on is the priest.

It isn't about basic requirements to qualify. It's about whether it's really needed.

Alucard compares them to himself because he's a "normal vampire." The difference is basically two, the many souls observed and the Occultism that Hellsing did to improve it, but like, Alucard is hundreds of years old, he wouldn't be ignorant in knowing what a common vampiric ability is for a vampire. When Seras awakened and acquired her first familiar, she displayed essentially the same set of vampiric powers as Alucard.

But the page doesn't give all of Alucard's P&A for normal vampires. The tab only lists what normal vampires explicitly have that artificial ones don't (regeneration, blood absorption and derivatives, immortality, transformations, familiars, etc.)

And everything listed in the artificial vampires tab are statements from general vampires (not specifying a type, whether artificial or normal), which the artificial ones have also shown to have.

Furthermore, the artificial ones were made from Mina's cells.

She was directly turned by him and immediately grew to his level after drinking Pip. She's clearly not normal.

The issue is whether such a page is needed or even bemeficial, not whether it satisfies the minimum requirements to be made.

Yes, hence why they surpassed normal vampires.

We don't really know what the average power of a normal vampire with familiars is. So we have no way of knowing.

They are inferior to normal vampires in terms of being a vampire. They don't even have the essential ability of a vampire: absorbing the soul through blood.

Strength itself depends on factors other than vampire tier. It depends on the person's own strength before becoming a vampire. Like Walter, who was already strong even past his prime, and was boosted by becoming an artificial vampire and returning to his youth, becoming so strong that he nearly defeated Alucard.
 
I just want to ask, how many ability vampire physiology suppose to have?

Exactly my point. We can't assume they have Alucard or Seras' abilities, and we can't assume they have artificial vampires' abilities, and even if we could we literally only meet one in the whole series, so it's basically irrelevant.

Although no other vampire has the soul stock abilities of Alucard even though the only one we meet was about to consume a whole town, so maybe that isn't a standard vampire thing.

Strength has nothing to do with the number of powers... a physically stronger vampire doesn't have more powers than another.

Most of the information on the page is statements about a vampire's basic powers, whether they're artificial or not. The artificial tab is basically just that. Besides, as far as I remember, it's never mentioned that artificials are special in any way because they came from Mina. They even lack the soul absorption that the Major cites as the essence of a vampire. Alucard also ridicules them for not being able to shapeshift, summon familiars, etc. (which Alucard insinuates is something any vampire should be able to do).

And on the vampire tab, I think only regeneration and stat amplification aren't based on a general statement.
Although no other vampire has the soul stock abilities of Alucard even though the only one we meet was about to consume a whole town, so maybe that isn't a standard vampire thing.
The major mentions that this absorption is the essence of a vampire. It's basically their main thing.

Now, this is going to be a guessing game for me, but it seems there's some kind of condition. Like, Alucard always drinks Integra's blood and doesn't consider her a familiar.

I just want to ask, how many ability vampire physiology suppose to have?
From what I said on the page, there are 8 artificial vampires, and 11 normal/real vampires (+ those 8 before)
 
I'd say such a page probably isn't necessary. It seems like its main purpose is to shorten Alucard's ability list, but it seems like it barely makes a dent in it, and meanwhile anyone reading a different character's page is essentially given homework to read another page for a few basic abilities.
 
Actually, aside from meeting the required number of user, there is also thr amount of abilities requirement, so yeah, need a considerate amount of abilities
Which most of the vampires here do not even have. Again, artificial ones do not display anywhere close to the breadth of abilities shown by Alucard's line.
So just say you don't like it. Instead of saying there aren't enough characters, when there are.
Two different clauses in what I said. I don't like it, personally, yes. I felt it important to be transparent about that. I also do not approve of it, professionally.
They are inferior to normal vampires in terms of being a vampire. They don't even have the essential ability of a vampire: absorbing the soul through blood.
Which creates another issue in having a vampire page, in that you'd have to specify and clarify on the page itself the difference between regular and artificial vampires, taking away from the universality of the power, which is the whole point of having it.
so you disagree with the physiology, what about the downgrade to Alucard's regular regen?
Separating his regen from his soul stuff seems kinda weird in the first place, but sure. Seems alright.

Aren't no way, so each vampire have specific abilities? Is there anything common between them other than being.......ehhh............vampire?

Just the enhancement and regeneration.

It's to do with his regeneration being reduced when he doesn't have his soul supply.
