* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Peter, despite being a veteran and a former security specialist (plus, you know a vampire), Peter Stone works as a convenience store clerk outside clerk. This is despite the fact he's a former Iraqi veteran, security guard specialist, and oh yes, a ''vampire.'' Played with as it's discovered a lot of New Detroit.vampires have graveyard shift jobs as people don't hire them and only a few VampiresAreRich.

* ExpositionOfImmortality: The Old Ones are quite fond of this.
Added DiffLines:
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: The Old Ones live unlives of decadent hedonism funded by vast wealth they've accumulated. However, most of the Old Ones are secretly hiding some tragic secret and overcompensating. The Ancient Ones are so old and jaded they don't care about anything. They don't quite get to the point of WhoWantsToLiveForever but vampirism isn't particularly awesome either.

* TheOlderImmortal: Thoth is this to Peter, Ashura is this to Thoth, and Enil is this to everyone else [[TimeAbyss as he's over six thousand years old.]]
Added DiffLines:
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Thoth finds this attitude ridiculous but suicide is incredibly common among vampires, particularly after their first kill or the realization the Need will dominate the rest of their unlives to the exclusion of all else. Religious individuals also tend to kill themselves once they realize that vampires really are accursed from God.

* KissOfTheVampire: A vampire bite is apparently so pleasurable that both vampires and humans find it to be akin to one long drawn out orgasm. This notably makes the newly-turned monogamous heterosexual Peter Stone uncomfortable even as other vampires gleefully indulge in it.
Added DiffLines:
* TheRenfield: Called Bloodsworn (polite) or Bloodslaves (rude). They are humans given vampire blood and who gain a portion of vampiric powers. They are able to be mentally dominated by their masters, have their minds read, and are still vulnerable to being killed by normal means. They can live potentially forever, though.

* HemoErotic: The Bite, as its appropriately called, releases a chemical that results in not only humans not bleeding to death when an artery is hit but causes indescribable pleasure for both drinker as well as victim. So much so that many vampires describe it as a combination of heroin and sex.

* HorrorHunger: All vampires have this but it actually lessens with age with Ancients only needing a little bit of blood to sustain themselves. Any vampire, no matter how moral, will feed on anyone if they go for too long without feeding though--[[WouldHurtAChild including on children]]. Vampires refer to it as the Need.

* SlidingScaleOfVampireFriendliness: The series' vampires sit squarely in the middle of the friendliness road. They don't need to kill when they feed, infect only people they choose, and can even feast on animal blood with difficulty. They are, however, mostly amoral with the best any vampire over the age of 100 getting is to be a Noble Demon. Every vampire also suffers from a Horror Hunger and blood tastes so good that every vampire is, by nature, addicted to it. They're also all damned by God according to Thoth.
