Darkstalkers: The Lumino Clan

Prologue

Makai, 1000 years ago

He stared at the ground, at the thing that until a few moments ago had been his own body. Looking up he saw the opposing army, celebrating their victory, and his demise, no, the demise of his entire clan. How he wished he could have destroyed them all right now, but it was impossible, his body was destroyed, and his soul damaged as well. Suddenly an idea came into his mind: His body may have been destroyed, but his soul was very much alive, after all how hard could it be to simply take someone else's body.

Earth, a few hours later

"So this is the human world", he thought with a smile on his face. "Now, all I have to do is find a human with a sturdy enough body to posses. Then the return of my clan and the destruction of everything shall begin, and finally the ideal world, my ideal world shall begin." Xeno Lumino thought, with a sick grin crawling on his face, as he began searching for a suitable body for his intentions.

Eventually, Xeno Lumino, the head of the once great Lumino clan (It's a noble clan I made up) found a human with a body suitable for his intentions, however due to the injuries his soul had sustained during his defeat, he was unable to control the human. This however didn't change his mind. "No matter," he thought. "I'll just bide my time, after all, humans need to mate, and I'll just keep changing host till I'm strong enough to take control. My ideal world shall come no matter how long I have to wait," he thought, after all he wasn't even a darkstalker anymore, he was just an immortal soul, waiting for the right time to make his move.

1000 years went by and Xeno continued to wait, till finally he made his move. He whisked away the new born baby that was now his host, and protected it, not as a child, but as a vessel, a vessel for himself. However, he did give the child something that was both kind and cruel at the same time. He gave the child a name: Neo Lumino, a name to tell all what he was meant to be in Xeno's eyes: the first of the new Lumino clan and the new light of destruction.

Neo however, though supposedly destined to bring destruction, grew up as a kind hearted dhampir (Neo is technically a dhampir due to being born from human parents, but unknowingly shares his body with a darkstalker), and was spared of that destiny, thanks to an encounter with two darkstalkers he would eventually come to call, as his family and the ones who are important to him. This is his story….
