{{tropelist}}
* [[Animesque]]: ''BloodRayne: Betrayal'
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Rayne, she doesn't particularly like humans, but she hates vampires.
* [[Argentina Is Naziland]]: Almost a 1/3 of ''BloodRayne'' takes place in a hidden Nazi base in Argentina. Then again, another third takes place in Germany proper.
Line 19:
* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: Ephemera's.
* [[Blood Bath]]: The final boss chamber in the second game has a fountain full of blood in which both Rayne and Kagan (her vampire father) can heal themselves.
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: ''BloodRayne 2'' was this to the original. ''BloodRayne: Betrayal'' for the series overall. And it's rated T!
* [[Body Horror]]: Daemites possessing a soldier to name a few.
* [[Born-Again Immortality]]: A Flower Child's life cycle is a true cycle. They can die and be reborn a seemingly unlimited number of times, provided they aren't killed before reaching physical maturity. Once they die, a large plant grows from their grave (that plant being whatever type of flower they’re based on). This plant bears a 'fruit' which is basically a womb, in which the Flower Child's new body develops. They are then 'born' exactly one year after their death, in the form of a five-year-old child.
* [[Bulletproof Human Shield]]: One of the heroine's special moves is to grasp an enemy goon, bite down on his neck, and while wrapped around him, spin him around to block enemy shots, using him as a [[Bulletproof Human Shield]] ''and'' gaining health at the same time.
* [[Bullet Time]]: One of Rayne's powers/a part of gameplay in both games is the option to use this technique, representing her heightened reaction times and senses.
* [[The Cameo]]: [[A Boy and His Blob|The Boy and His Blob]] show up in Chapter 15 in ''BloodRayne: Betrayal''.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: {{spoiler|Ephemera. Together with her sister Ferril, she plotted to kill their father and take over. Then, she (literally and figuratively) backstabbed and threw Ferril off a tower. When Rayne meets her for the final battle, Ephemera calmly tells her that she is waiting for the right moment to do Kagan in}}.
* [[Colossus Climb]]: Slezz is a variation. You have to climb inside her to cut her heart out. [[Deadpan Snarker|Rayne is not happy with this turn of events.]]
Line 30:
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: During Ephemera's boss battle, if Rayne touches the water in the pond, she gets hurt. Ephemera on the other hand, despite being a full vampire, remains unaffected by it.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: In ''BloodRayne: Betrayal'', most of the blood splatters, explosions and slime splatters are this. It mildly clashes with the game's otherwise 2D-art style.
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
*
** {{spoiler|Rayne is half-sister to Svetlana Lupescu}}.
* [[Creepy Crossdresser]]: Implied in ''BloodRayne 2'':
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
{{quote|'''Parasite''': I'll wear you like ''lederhosen''.}}
* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: Most of the killing puzzles involve throwing minions at something until it breaks.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Rayne does virtually nothing ''but'' this in the first game, with the exception of some larger weapons. In the second game, the only guns she gets are dual wielded, but they function as the whole [[Standard FPS Guns|usual arsenal]]. In ''BloodRayne: Betrayal'', Rayne only uses a handgun (albeit a [[Hand Cannon|Magnum]]) and {{spoiler|a laser cannon}}.
* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Despite the wide variety of firearms available in the first game, guns are only really effective against common [[Mooks]]. Some tougher enemies and bosses take very little (if any) damage from bullets, or are difficult to hit in the first place (especially Daemites). Compounding this problem is the fact that guns don't hold much ammo and can't be reloaded; Rayne [[Throw-Away Guns|discards a weapon upon emptying the magazine]], and must pick up another to replace it. On top of all this, Rayne's blades and harpoon are generally more efficient weapons anyway, and it's entirely possible to play through most of the game without firing a shot.
** In ''BloodRayne: Betrayal'', however, Rayne's Magnum is actually quite powerful, able to knock most mooks off their feet.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Rayne and other Dhampir's.
* [[Heal Thyself]]: Rayne drinks the blood of her enemies to restore her life bar.
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
* [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Subverted by Rayne. She has no qualms about slicing someone in half, but she actually makes a point of trying to emphasize her humanity, like her freak-out when {{spoiler|Mynce}} died.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Subverted. The heels of Rayne's boots are a pair of spikes.
* [[Standard FPS Guns]]: In ''BloodRayne 2'', the 'blood guns' mimic the effect of several weapons:
** Blood shot = Pistol.
** Blood stream = Automatic weapon.
Line 118 ⟶ 119:
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: Specifically in ''BloodRayne 2''.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Rayne's sunlight weakness is kind of expected, being half vampire, but ''water''? Seriously? In ''BloodRayne 2'', you can get killed by the sprinkler system.
* [[Why Am I Ticking?]]: In ''BloodRayne: Betrayal'', Rayne can either drain an enemy of blood for health or infect them with some sort of virus that turns them into walking acid bombs that she can detonate at will, which can cause chain reactions.
