I. The story/prologue
    Basically, Richter Belmont, a legendary vampire hunter, successfully defeated Dracula who had been resurrected back from the grave by a dark priest named Shaft.  Then one night Richter disappeared under the glow of a full moon four years later, never to be seen again.
     His sister-in-law, Maria Renard went out to look for him.  Next, suddenly Castlevania, the castle in which Dracula possesses, came out of the mist.  It is said to appear every century, so it was a bit odd it came back only four years after Richter's disappearance.
     While that was occurring, Alucard had been struggling with powerful forces.  The legendary Alucard, who teamed up with an ancestor of Richter, Trevor Belmont, to battle Alucard's "immortal" father Count Vlad Trepes Dracula. (fun tip: At this point notice Alucard's name spelled backwards is Dracula! ^_^)
      Alucard then submerged himself into a vampiric eternal slumber so that the world would not have to deal with his own cursed blood line.  Finally, he awoke and understood that evil has come forth into his homeland once again.
      Lastly, a traditional fight for the forces of Good vs. Evil has approached.  All you have to do is fight on the side of Good and vanquish Count Dracula (again).

II. Characters
MAIN CHARACTERS
Name: Alucard (AKA Adrian Farenheights Trepes)
Age: Around 400 years old
He is the main character you will be using in this game.  He is the offspring of Count Dracula and a human woman named Lisa.  The powers Alucard controls are super human strength and shape-shifting.  The weapon he prefers to use is the traditional sword.  Common transformations alucard can perform include: shape-shifting into a wolf, mist, and a bat.  This is done to confuse his enemies and obviously to help you explore Castlevania.  Alucard lastly uses relics and magical items to defeat enemies and help acquire strength and special abilities.

Name: Richter Belmont
Age: 24
This is yet another character you shall use to play the game.  You use him at the beginning of the game to eliminate Count Dracula. (You can use him through the entire game.  See section V.)  The Belmont family is a long line of vampire hunters that progressively get stronger with each and every new generation of hunters.  Richter's choice of weapon is a whip which many of his ancestors wielded.  He has vanished a year after defeating the legendary Count Dracula under the suspicious light of a full moon.

Name: Maria Renard
Age: 17
You meet up and discuss important Richter related business with this young woman.  Although you cannot play as her (only in the Japanese version. *weep*), she provides useful information in discovering the true story behind Richter's vanishment.  She has great determination for slaying vampires even though she is not related to the Belmonts by blood.  She helped Richter at the beginning of the game (if you get killed) to defeat Dracula and would give anything to see Richter again.  while on her search for him, Maria stumbled upon Castlevania and bravely entered the castle alone.
