The Canon Expies Meme

[espigeonage]

SAVE THE EARTH is a world tragically devoid of some of our most beloved works of fiction! (good thing too, otherwise reincarnates would be even more fucked up!) Or rather, they exist until someone apps from them, at which point they retroactively don't. But don't feel too bad for this Earth's inhabitants - just as no niche in nature is left open long before life fills it, other, similar fiction has taken the places of the canons we know!

Okay, so since we're all playing modern AUs most of them are familiar with pop culture, right? But since some are off-limits, we've got to get creative. Comment with a little about the expy - or expies, maybe there's more than one - of your character's canon. Or other canons. It can be more or less similar, by the same or different authors, have suspiciously similar titles or anything else! Be as straightforwards or detailed as you wish.

This is the big one. Mister big. The guy that everyone knows with his cape and his odd accent and even has been copied by children's cereal and programs about spelling. He is the one that has defined vampires ever since a little Irish playwright typed out the horrid little book and a buddy decided to change it into a play in which a guy by the name of Bela stepped into the cape and white stage makeup and made horror film history.

But for SAVE THE EARTH, we do not know Dracula. We however know dear old Lord Ruthven who was a lord that made the deal with the Devil in exchange for eternal life and wealth. All the other vampire tropes are still quite intact but Dracula, well Dracula didn't cut the mustard first.

Of course, this is all in case one of the many millions of Draculas from various medias get apped in.
