Added DiffLines:

* DeathlessAndDebauched: The vampires in Literature/TheUnitedStatesOfMonsters universe are debauched sex-addicted bon vivants who get a drug-like rush from drinking blood. This is particularly noticeable in ''Literature/StraightOuttaFangton'' where we find out about the wealthy among them's harems and vast palaces. We also discover that this is only the Old Ones as the Youngbloods don't have enough money to live so decadently, averting VampiresAreRich.

* BisexualVampire: Becoming a BisexualVampire is apparently a natural result of vampirism. Because the Bite is so intensely sexual and the Need so great for blood, vampires associate their hunger with sex and anyone who can satisfy it. This is commented on as a worry by ''Literature/StraightOuttaFangton'' protagonist, Peter Stone, while his creator rolls his eyes at his provincialism.



* LesbianVampire: Played with as apparently all vampires are bisexual after a certain point but younger vampires are uncomfortable with this.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Draws heavily from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/TwinPeaks'' according to WordOfGod.

Added DiffLines:

* LovecraftLite: The Elder Gods are ancient fallen angels that live sleeping under the Earth as gigantic monsters. They're worshiped by evil cults and humans are constantly trying to bring them back to life. They can still be killed, though, if you have the right spells or magical patron.

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.

* MixedAncestry: Jane and her family are a mixed family of Caucasians and Odawa (Ottawa) Native Americans. Notably, Jane pays very little attention to this fact until someone makes a commentary about First Nations peoples.

Added DiffLines:

* VampireVarietyPack: Since the undead of the series were designed by a tabletop game writer so they are a complicated necrology indeed.
** Youngbloods are the weakest of vampires and designed to reflect vampires that have a lot of weaknesses (verbena, silver, holy items, stakes, sunlight) as well as an almost feral submission to their bloodthirst. They are also usually the slaves of their creators. They are very strong and fast, though.
** Old Ones are vampires like Count Dracula and wield powers like shapechanging or psychic abilities. DeathIsCheap for them as well with only another Old One or Ancient One able to kill them (or special weapons like the Merlin Gun).
** The Ancient Ones LooksLikeOrlok (or Medusa) and are ancient debased things that lose most of their desire to do anything but wield fantastic powers. They spend most of their time sleeping or living in ruins or they could easily take over the world.

Added DiffLines:

* NonHeteronormativeSociety: Vampires equate blood with sex and sex with blood so all of them eventually become bisexual/pansexual. They also polyamorous and keep harems of mortals for feeding purposes, at least the rich and powerful ones.

* VampireHarem: Vampires are practically ''required'' to have harems. This is due to the fact that it is better to drink lightly from humans regularly than drain humans completely if you're trying to live as part of regular society. The KissOfTheVampire is so sexual (and frequently accompanies sex) that these harems are usually literal. In addition, vampires are described as almost all practicing {{Polygamy}} and tend to have multiple marriages to each other.
