Here we're going to list tropes which are exclusive to the band members. For general tropes about the band, go to the Main page.
 
Line 5:
 
* [[The Big Guy]]: Ollie is the biggest at 6'7".
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Richard is the only member of the band who doesn't dislike his first name.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
Line 20:
* [[Badass Baritone]]
* [[The Big Guy]] He's ''extremely'' muscular. A recent issue of ''Kerrang!'' magazine described him as having "the physique of a professional wrestler".
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: His name is Dietrich.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: If not played to the letter, the spirit's played straight. He got a hole pierced into his cheek to run a LED light through it for most of the "Ich tu dir weh" video. (The hole healed up during filming.) Of course, this is nothing ''new'' for him. How many times has he beaten himself up with a microphone, or set himself on fire, now?
* [[Evil Chef]]: He dresses up as one during "Mein Teil" in the Volkerball tour/DVD.
Line 55:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: His side project Emigrate.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: It's his signature clothing item. He wears a new Badass Longcoat in almost every tour. And two different ones in Emigrate videos "My World" and "New York City".
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: His birth name is Sven Kruspe. The Z stands for "Zven".
* [[Dye Hard]]: A natural blonde who kept it that way in the band's early days, tends to keep his hair dyed black nowadays.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: He's referred to as "Reesh" a lot by some fans, with some also refering to him as "Fly Boy".
Line 67:
* [[The Big Guy]]: Even him, the shortest member of the band, is around 5'9".
* [[Cowboy]]: His character in "Pussy".
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: His full name is Heiko Paul Hiersche. He took his first wife's (now divorced) last name and now just goes by his middle name.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Paulchen", and, to a lesser extent "The Littlest Rammstein".
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Feeling B, the band he shared with Flake and Schneider before Rammstein. They were a moderately successful punk rock band in East Germany, but got nowhere near the international acclaim Rammstein did. And also First Arsch, where he played with Till and Richard.
Line 77:
* [[Badass Beard]]
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: It's 'Ollie' Riedel, not 'Oliver'.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname|Only Known As Ollie]]
* [[Playing to The Fetishes]]: The "Pussy" video has him playing a BDSM fetishist character.
Line 90:
* [[Creator Backlash]]: He's made no secret of the fact that he personally finds "Pussy" to be "completely stupid".
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: He's mainly called Schneider or Doom, not Christoph.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: As Frau Schneider.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: What he dreamed to do to Till in "Haifisch".
Line 107:
* [[Cool Shades]]: Often wears them during live performances.
* [[Death by Gluttony]]: His intended method of murdering Till in "Haifisch". Almost definitely a shoutout to ''[[Se7en]]''.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: He doesn't like his given name.
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}: His character in the "Benzin" video.
* [[Dye Hard]]: He has dyed his hair various different colours over the years.
