Basic Trope: A vampire that can be out in the sun.

  • Straight: Valentino is a vampire, yet he can go out in the sun as normal.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Valentino can go sunbathing on a very sunny day, but won't be harmed at all.
    • The sun actually makes Valentino stronger.
  • Downplayed:
    • Valentino can go out in the sun, but he still has to wear protective clothing, a sun umbrella, a hat, etc in order to not get burned.
    • Valentino can still go out in the sun, but is more susceptible to getting sunburnt due to his pale skin tone.
    • Valentino can only go out in the sun for short periods of time. Spending too long in the sun will harm him.
    • Valentino can go out during the daytime, but only when the UV index is low that day.
  • Justified:
    • In this work, vampires don't have a weakness to the sun.
    • Valentino is powerful enough to not have the sun as his weakness.
  • Inverted: Valentino is unusually susceptible to the sun, to the point in which he can even get burned from the moon.
  • Subverted: Valentino is seen in the daylight, but it turns out that he's only able to be in the daylight due to having very strong sunblock on.
  • Double Subverted: The strong sunblock is just to prevent him from getting sunburnt - he doesn't actually have that bad of a weakness to the sun.
  • Parodied: Valentino gives himself the ability to walk in the daylight, for some reason... despite naturally being a shut-in and never having any desire to go out unless it's at night.
  • Zig-Zagged:
    • Valentino can go out in the sun, but it's only because he's been used to being a vampire for so long. His friend Victoria, who only recently became a vampire, still can't go out in the sun yet. However, regardless of how long one has been a vampire, it's still important for them to take frequent breaks when in the sun.
    • Whether or not Valentino has a weakness to the sun seems to vary.
  • Averted:
    • There aren't any vampires.
    • Vampires have a weakness to the sun, as normal.
  • Enforced:
    • The creators of the series wanted to include a vampire, but filming all of the scenes with vampires at night/in dark lighting is too difficult.
    • A way to show that Our Vampires Are Different, by subverting a common weakness of them.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked:
    • Valentino is tired of only being allowed to go out during the night, so he finds a way to be able to go out in the sunlight.
    • Valentino puts on clothing that hides him from the sunlight so he can still go out.
  • Exploited:
    • Valentino decides to stalk his victims during the day.
    • Alternatively, Valentino is a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire and decides to use his lack of weakness towards the sun to enjoy spending the day with his friends.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "I thought vampires had sunlight as a weakness." "What? No, don't be ridiculous - why would a powerful creature have a weakness to such a common thing?!"
  • Conversed: ???
