In the distant future of Vampire Hunter D society looks like a high tech version of the middle ages. Men no
longer rule the Earth, and monsters run rampant beneath the lenient claws of vampires. Enforcing an archaic
feudal system tinged with the blood of oppressed humans, vampires rule in aristocratic clans that subject
people to their every passing whim.
D is a Dhampire or Dunpeal, a half-breed born of a vampire father (none other than the infamous Count
Dracula who is literally worshipped by other vampires) and a human mother.
Outcast for his tainted blood, he has distanced himself from both humans and vampires, living a life of
solitude as he searches for something to fill the void of loneliness he feels.
As a Vampire Hunter, D has dedicating his life to slaying vampires, but not all vampires, only those who
threaten humanity and is respected for his legendary prowess at hunting the creatures of the night. He
dresses in all black, wearing a wide brimmed hat and a long flowing cape, carries a long, slightly curved
sword which glows blue when vampires are present and has the ability to catch arrows one handed.
D is reasonably good at controlling his vampire instincts for blood, but sometimes during a fight his
vampire side takes control, the fangs come out and D always wins.
