I did actually forget to give you a heads up on the matter. I was on the other day (Monday I believe) and, at the same time, he was on Naruto Fanon so I caught him at a good time and he said that it was okay. You can check it out here.

I do like where you have been going with these different concepts. I like the idea of her mother's clan possessing the more matriarchal beliefs as well; that may lead to conflict within Maria. The arranged marriages idea seems to work a lot better for me, also; personally, I do not do very well in the "lovey dovey" relationship stories to begin with and that is probably because that is not me in real life, either. I swear, I am totally oblivious to women. XD

I like where you are going with the idea of a "Spirit Partner" of sorts and I was thinking of doing something similar to the way that Jūgo  follows Sasuke around (pretty much the same reason you have here). I had forgotten about Black Blood, mostly because that was exclusive to Espers, but I think that the Quincy will develop it and test it on Dracul. This will give him his Hollow powers (by the way, I wanted a way to give him Hollow powers so thanks ^_^) as well as giving Maria and him a bond to share.

I very much like the dominant roll that you are giving her in the group and, to be honest, it is refreshing to see a female character with some gusto. If you want some pointers, I would check out Revy because she is honestly the only non-submissive anime character that I have seen in the dozena and a half anime I have watched so far. That is one of the major things that I dislike about Bleach, actually, is that Orihime and *insert name of the other big chested, airheaded female characters here* always need Ichigo or someone else to bail them out of trouble. It should be nice to see that perspective, especially if you make her similar to Revy. :D

As for now, Dracul was experimented on by Yhwach and the Arznei with the Black Blood to see if a Quincy could withstand Hollow powers. Yhwach did this because he did not want to endager any other Quincy or their children and would bare the brunt of the pain himself (following the reasoning of why Minato put the Nine Tails into Naruto); it was more out of love for the Quincy that he sacrificed his own son and not out of desire. He is found by a Viking family and I am not sure if they will be related to Yhwach directly or not but they are Quincy, also.

So, because of all of this (^up there^), he is going to have serious trust issues, even questioning why he was spared in the first place. From this also stems an inability to get close to anyone because, in his youth, the only anyone did so, they had an alterior motive (gaining Quincy powers, learning something, etc.). This is why his prescence has gone undetected for a millenium (until he encounters Dresden and this is only by chance). With all of this in mind, he will be reluctant to trust Dresden, Maria...pretty much anyone but I do plan on opening him up. I deffinetly see some potential for him to open with Maria, for sure, and he likes Dresden's dedication to his friends and justice. It will take some time, though.
