In the Blood: Difference between revisions

** This could just be selection bias, though; the evil {{spoiler|Bhaalspawn}} have been busily killing off the good ones, and the good ones are less likely to appear on the PC's radar in any case. The PC him/herself can be a solidly [[Lawful Good]] [[Knight in Shining Armor]] if the player so chooses. In ''Throne of Bhaal'' you meet several "lesser Bhaalspawn", quite a few of whom seem to be just regular Joes.

* Tohno Shiki of ''[[Tsukihime]]'' lived [[Ordinary High School Student|most of his life normally]], yet can somehow instinctually remember all the assassination techniques of the Nanaya clan through his blood, which conveniently powers him up whenever something serious happens. Judging by appearance, you might as well call it his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. Explained in [[Canon]] by the fact that {{spoiler|the Nanaya were incestuous and grounded in tradition to hold onto their supernatural powers, which are only supposed to last one generation}}.

* Agent 47 from the ''[[Hitman]]'' series is a genetically engineered assassin, created from the DNA of 5 of the world's most dangerous criminal masterminds. Except he's a cold-blooded assassin, not a power-hungry megalomaniac, so the analogy doesn't seem to quite work out.

* The [[Framing Story|plot]] of the ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' series run on this trope -- the gameplay is ''literally'' [[In the Blood|In The DNA]], a lineage going from Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad ("Eagle, Son of No One") to Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Ezio derived from a Greek word for Eagle) to [[Player Character|Desmond Miles]]. Later implied to be literal, as {{spoiler|Altaïr's bloodline may all be descendants of a past human-Those Who Came Before hybrid}}, partially since Altaïr's bloodline are the only Assassins known to use the ability of Eagle Vision in the games, though ''[[All There in the Manual|Project Legacy]]'' revealed that {{spoiler|Giovanni Borgia -- whose father was an Assassin}} also had it too.
