So after several setbacks including both procrastination, irl stuff taking priority, as well as both tech and mental issues (Depression can go suck it), I have finally finished the rework of Dracula I started so long ago. Although the profile I'm proposing isn't completely up to date as I haven't gotten scans from his appearances from Avengers Vol 8 and onward, but from what I found there's nothing of note those appearances give him besides some extra stuff for intelligence that could be added later.
Without further ado, here's my proposed rework. You may notice the P&A section looks different to most profiles and that's because I decided to go the same route as Garous profile and use bullet points as frankly the massive blob of blue text the section was before I used bullet points was too hard to read.
Another thing to possibly discuss is his tiering, I'm personally not sure about it myself but it might be possible that Dracula could be High 6-C. In Uncanny X-Men #159 and X-Men Annual #6 he's portrayed as being physically stronger than Colossus (I initially ignored this as around this time Dracula was getting amped by a magic cult, but from what I can tell the cult amping stuff doesn't happen until after these comics so he's at his normal power levels here), and in Spider-Man Team-Up #6 his astral form can physically contend with Doctor Stranges spells (Albeit he was still inferior) which from what I can by his profile are High 6-C when he's not drawing on the power of other beings or objects, and the energies Dracula uses for his astral form seems to be tied to his physical strength as when he starts sending the energy back to his physical body he noted to start getting stronger again. It's not like Draculas showings against High 8-C characters contradict this as he's pretty consistently portrayed as being far stronger than them when he's not weakened or toying with them.
Again, I'm personally not too sure about him being High 6-C myself and can see why people might not be on board with Dracula being that high. I'd be fine with just leaving him as at least High 8-C but I thought it would be worth it to being up his higher end scaling just for the sake of it.
