Let me think...basing on your description, I was thinking that Aragibal interests and personality is mostly more aligned with Alucard and Rip. They're vampire pair/mates in the game and they are working together to make a brewery business, so Aragibal mostly likely get along with them. Alucard said he'll be very interested in his beekeeping techniques to make ales, as Alucard uses wheat and malt to make beer, and trying to figure out the process somehow. Alucard wouldn't mind a helping hand with his brewery and sharing a space.
By all means, Alucard does believe in second chances, but it must be earned through hard work. I haven't finished his threads yet and still planning what he is going to do next, but that's the outline.
Abel is a very a quiet man and very bookworm, so his reaction is "...?!?!" I don't think he won't be able to convince Aragibal to stop his drinking and flirting or give him advice in how to be a better guy unless one-day Aragibal decided to change himself and turn around toward higher pursuits of life...which in Abel's opinion he isn't ready for.
Abel can drink wine, but he really detests alcoholism. Also, sharing spaces isn't something he wanted to do, considering he's a hermit and rather lives alone, which typical of a monk lifestyle. If you want to be friends with Abel, try to think of showing respect to a priest when you enter a church and he starts a sermon. Kinda boring when you sit in a pew and listen to him lecturing for hours.
Anyway, these are my thoughts. I think Argibal and Alucard would make good friends (and hit up with Rip if you get a chance). Alucard like strong opponents, so sparring partner is a go.
I had this super long response and then I accidentally reloaded the page and lost it all OTL
The gist of it is that I wasn't expecting that character combination at ALL but I really really like it and would be 200% down for Alucard and Ara to work together on a brewery and Ara would leap at the chance for an interesting sparring partner. He likes challenges quite a bit. I enjoy the idea of them sharing a farm/whatever simply because I think Alucard would knock Aragibal pretty hard if he was being a stupid little shit.
I also wanted to point out that this isn't the Aragibal I'm used to writing as because I reframed him a little so that Lottie and I could break out of the Aragibal/Athala relationship and explore a little bit, so I am making Aragibal sound a lot more obnoxious than he probably will be. I do still want him to be held accountable, to find a reason to sober up, and to otherwise figure out how to use his time more constructively. (It's worth mentioning that Ara was originally created as a joke and as a a frat boy mixed with Susano and like first movie Thor so he's evolved a lot since his conception.)
All that being said I'm certain that Hunter will eventually wander into one of Abel's sermons. She will be interested in seeing what church is as the word church has some interesting connotations from her world. I imagine she will hold a silent respect for him, though I feel things may not advanced much past that - Hunter wouldn't necessarily approach him about it, though she may become a regular just to listen to him talk. I imagine she would have an interesting point of view on it considering how the Great Ones are worshiped in her own world.
On Ara: Okay, gotcha. I was thinking of making an Alucard post soon (once I coordinate with Rip on what exactly we're doing with the brewery) about finding help and a hiring hand for the brewery, so that should be your opening. Alucard enjoys a good fight, and always wants strong opponents to try and kill him (since he's immune to death anyway, being a vampire and all). Alucard has enough wisdom to advise Ara to stay somber enough (and give advice to have him work on his relationship since his with Rip is a lot of work), and drink in moderation, but then he wouldn't know how much alcohol a big lizard can take lol. The brewery is sorta of Alucard's project in getting rich and get resources he needs to built, and he'll pay Ara as an employee. xD I also thought of opening a bar/pub at one point, but that's getting ahead of myself, and I have to slow down.
On Abel: I'm sorta reframing him too (lol what I'm doing here) and readjusting him here, so what I wrote before, nothing is set on stone. Abel's the sort of guy who stays inside of his shell and kept his thoughts hidden from others. He maybe smiling, but he kept his dark secrets to himself, so what appears to be shyness and smiles is actually hiding what he really thinks or feels. He's pretty emotionally loaded too, so he used his priest persona to throw people off from himself and direct people to focus on tasks/missions, and he's more focus on helping others to compensate for his sins of murder/genocide from a war where he helped his twin brother Cain (surprise, surprise) in wiping out life on Earth. That's why he's very introverted, and he will hold himself back from committing violence or attacks...or even opening up to people.
Therefore, Abel is not...overly religious and can change to believing there's gods or no gods. He's actually fluid. Reading your response now, and I realized he might be open to a few drinks just to get sleepy. He's not super rigid and may change his habits depending who's he friends with.
Oh thinking about it, if you want, you can have Ara tag Abel's post if Ara has a jar of honey on him (or honey ale if he is able to brew it?) if Ara has a vendor and is trying to sell something. The priest has a weakness for anything sweet (Abel is the sorta of guy who puts 13 sugars in his tea).
Anyway, just putting my thoughts out here while I make adjustments as I go along!
