Drive (ability)

A Drive (ドライブ) is the materialization of a soul's power, made via the power of the Blue. It can be achieved through two methods:
 * If a person has a strong soul that pulls the Blue to it (Relius Clover and Valkenhayn R. Hellsing);
 * If a soul gets closer to the Blue (Spinner Superior).

The closer a soul is to the Blue, the stronger the Drive is. However, when a Drive is used, it can leave Remains of the Blue; the stronger the Drive, the longer the Remains last.

Drive can be described as a special state of soul. There are two types of carriers:
 * 1) Born with a Drive;
 * 2) Awakened Drive.

The use of a Drive consumes the Magic Element around the user. When there is not enough of the element, a portion of the user's soul is consumed.

Heavy torture can deprive of a Drive, like it happened in case of Karengina Parcette and her awakened Seagull.

Clavis Alucard's existence is simply like a Drive in itself because of his existence as an Illusionary Creature, while Izanami literally is the Master Unit's Drive.

In gameplay, Drive acts as a character's main unique system mechanic with a number of some of their special moves also tailoring to it. In the main games, pressing D normally activates it, but its mechanics and functions depend solely on the character.

XBlaze series shows a particular illness giving people Drive. They are collectively known as the Drive-Unions.
