* BenevolentBoss: Rose is beloved by all of her employees despite all of them being vampires.



* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: The Sanctuary vampires seem to just want to make money with their club, play music, and not hurt anyone. Averted with Eric Bane himself as he has a wholly self motivation (don't become a mindless ghoul) and murders a whole army of guards to get to the vampires he intends to devour. Played straight when he shows the willingness to rescue the Sanctuary vampires from [[spoiler: M17]].



* MookHorrorShow: The game is all about stealthfully murdering your way through guards until you reach your target.
* PerkyGoth: The vampires of the Sanctuary are all unusually friendly, cheerful, and happy with their lot.

Sanctuary. It is a converted Gothic church, has classical statuary, and is run by vampires. Too bad about the one song always playing.
* DarkActionGirl: Rose. She's a technophile primarily as well as a nightclub owner. She can still hold her own, though, because, well, vampire.
* DirtyCoward: Blooming runs away from you as soon as you deal with his guards despite being a much older vampire.

The gameplay of ''[[{{VideoGame/Dark}} Dark]]'' is based on stealth combat. Eric has many supernatural vampiric 'skills' at his disposal; he can use Shadow Leap to quickly teleport to different areas and to perform stealth finishers, make himself temporarily invisible, see in the dark and slow down time. His abilities are linked to a certain amount of 'blood points' which are used up each time Eric uses a skill. He can drink blood from his enemies to restore his health and blood points.

Eric has many supernatural vampiric 'skills' at his disposal; he can use Shadow Leap to quickly teleport to different areas and to perform stealth finishers, make himself temporarily invisible, see in the dark and slow down time. His abilities are linked to a certain amount of 'blood points' which are used up each time Eric uses a skill. He can drink blood from his enemies to restore his health and blood points.

The game follows the story of Eric Bane, a newly turned vampire suffering from amnesia. He learns that his transformation is not complete and that, if he does not drink the blood of his sire, he will mutate into a mindless ghoul. In order to avoid being such a foul creature, he receives missions to drink ancient vampires' blood. However, an angel in Eric's view appears to guide him to the righteous path, and ease intolerable pain that comes from not drinking appropriate blood as it disappears. With a question of this vision, he tries to recover his deleted memories and his true-self 'vampire.'

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The game explains that since Eric's blood was drained by a vampire and he then died, he's a half-vampire and needs to drink the blood of the vampire that killed him. [[spoiler: While the game later explains that Eric was specially created by M-17 and no longer needs to try to find the vampire that bit him]], Eric drank blood from and killed an unknown number of people in order to fuel his vampire powers. Will those guys become vampires too? Are they going to turn into ghouls?
