Name: Kain
Origin: Legacy of Kain series
Breakdown: An arrogant noble murdered and revived as a vampire, Kain embarked on a crusade to kill his assassins and then be restored to human form. When he came to revere his powers, Kain turned his back on his prophesied duty and became a vampire lord ruling over the land. Kain can assume a mist form, which allows him to be virtually invisible and intangible. He also has a fury ability to use a single charged attack against an enemy. He can also jump great distances and to inhuman heights, charm the weak-willed and bend their minds to his will, and also has superspeed, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, teleportation, immense strength, and lightning.

Name: Alucard
Origin: Hellsing
Breakdown: A powerful vampire, Alucard works with the Hellsing Organization against other vampires and evil forces. He has a range of supernatural techniques including enhanced strength. He fights with ferocity and often extreme cruelty, rarely intending to kill until his target has been disabled and humiliated, while frequently allowing enemies more than one chance to kill him. He is truly Count Dracula, and he renamed himself Alucard after being defeated by Van Helsing.

Name: Alucard
Origin: Castlevania
Breakdown: Alucard is the son of Dracula. He is an adept swordsman, and typically wields one-handed swords. Alucard's other attacks use dark magic. As a shape shifter, Alucard can change into a bat, other animals, or even mist.

Name: Blade (Eric Brooks)
Origin: Marvel Universe
Breakdown: Blade has all of a vampire's strengths and none of the weaknesses except for blood-thirst. Blade has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and senses. He also has a healing factor and can walk in sunlight. He is a master of martial arts and he has a great deal of knowledge about hunting vampires.

Name: Arcueid Brunestud
Origin: Nasuverse
Breakdown: There are few who can match Arcueid in terms of strength, speed and endurance. With her Marble Phantasm, she can change reality to create any naturally occurring effect. She also has vampire claws, and very few conceptual weapons can harm her. All vampires can ignore damage from most sources as their body will revert to the pre-damaged state rapidly, conceptual weapons can nullify this ability. At night she is almost invulnerable, and her power is at its peak during the full moon. During the night, all of her lines and points of death disappear, rendering her indestructible; however, they can show up again if the very nature from which she draws power is "killed." She has rapid regeneration and has mystic eyes of enchantment.

Name: Count Dracula
Origin: Dracula
Breakdown: He has physical strength equivalent to 20 men. Being undead, he is immune to conventional means of attack. The only definite way to kill him is by decapitating him followed by impalement through the heart with a wooden stake, although it is also suggested that shooting him with a sacred bullet would suffice. The Count can defy gravity to a certain extent, being able to climb upside down vertical surfaces in a reptilian manner. He has powerful hypnotic and mind control abilities, and is also able to command nocturnal animals such as wolves and rats. Dracula can also manipulate the weather. He can shapeshift at will into a bat, a rat, a wolf, vapor, or fog. He requires no other sustenance but fresh blood, which has the effect of rejuvenating him. He is much less powerful in daylight and is only able to shift his form at dawn, noon, and dusk (he can shift freely at night). The sun is not fatal to him, though, as sunlight does not burn and destroy him upon contact. He is repulsed by garlic, crucifixes and sacramental bread, and he can only cross running water at low or high tide.

Name: Abel Nightroad
Origin: Trinity Blood
Breakdown: In his human form, Abel fights with an inordinately large revolver loaded with silver bullets. In this form, he also possesses incredible strength and speed. He also appears to have a limited regenerative ability and a great deal of physical stamina, enough to be run through and continue fighting. With 40% of his Crusnik nanomachines activated, his eyes become red, his lips turn dark blue, his teeth become fangs, and a gigantic red scythe composed of crystallized blood materializes in his hands. This form also sees a marked increase in strength and speed from his human form, and an enhanced regenerative ability which enables him to heal injuries such as stab wounds instantly. At 80% activation, his nails turn into claws, he grows black wings and he can generate massive amounts of electricity. His speed and strength are again increased, and his regenerative abilities receive a drastic upgrade. He can only achieve this form, or higher, if he has fed on a vampire, otherwise there is a risk the nanomachines will refuse the command and cause him to collapse. At 100% activation, he turns into a humanoid creature with dark skin, black bat-like wings, and blue markings that cover his entire body. He also generates more electricity than his 80% form and a second blade forms on the other end of his blood scythe.

Name: Dio Brando
Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Breakdown: Dio wears and activates the Stone Mask, becoming a nearly unstoppable vampire. His seemingly supernatural abilities are similar to the Mythical powers of the Mayan blood gods. He is able to walk on walls, and regenerate his body faster than fire can consume it. He is able to pressurize liquid in his eyeballs and then create small openings on pupils, eventually creating two fluid jets powerful enough to slice stone and kill living things. He is also able to vaporize his body fluid rapidly enough to freeze anything he touches. He has parasites generated in his hair that attach themselves to and brainwash victims.

Name: Lestat de Lioncourt
Origin: Chronicles of a Vampire series
Breakdown: Lestat's abilities include telepathy, superhuman strength, and resilience. After receiving blood from several ancient vampires, Lestat's strength increases dramatically, and allows him to fly, perform feats of telekinesis and pyrokinesis, and survive exposure to the sun.

Nine contenders survived the second round. You may vote for up to four people to advance to the fourth round. The top four will advance (quite possibly more, in the event of ties, or possibly less, as no one with zero votes will advance). The competitors have been reordered based on their standing in the second round.
Personally, I think the following are good contenders to survive the third round: Alucard (Hellsing), Arcueid Brunestud, Kain, Abel Nightroad. From what I know of them from actually playing/reading their stuff in a few cases, or just what I've gleaned from the Internets or hearing about them, I think they have what it takes to survive... for a little while longer, at least.
