All There in the Manual: Obviously a lot of the setting can be found in Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. Each issue contains NPC write-ups, loresheets, or other game related information. This both adds value to tabletop gamers but also helps expands the lore for each character. |

Gothic Punk: The book invokes the attitudes of the tabletop game but also acknowledges it's been twenty years since the game's heyday. Its protagonist, Cecily Bain, is a former Riot Grrrl who bemoans most of her former colleagues are either old or soccer moms even on the youngest side. Even so, it's still a bright pair of modern cities (Minneapolis and Saint Paul) full of vampires preying on an unsuspecting populace. |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Cecily is a jaded, nihilistic, and sadistic vampire who has given up all of her idealism to become exactly the sort of monster she used to fight. Colleen is an idealistic, even friendly, young woman dealing with problems beyond her control. |

Always a Bigger Fish: Werewolves are shown to be far superior to vampires in terms of their ability to kick ass. Even Cecily, who is a badass, is easily overwhelmed by one. |

Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Generally averted. The protagonist starts the book by murdering an innocent woman to protect the Masquerade and almost every other vampire is shown doing something horrible. The only one who shows any sign of being this trope is Colleen and she's a Thin Blood. |

Dramatic Irony |
| Vampire: The Masquerade (Vault) (Comic Book) / int_ab5eea65 |
comment |
Dramatic Irony: What sets off the Lupines vs. Vampires in the Twin City is ridiculous. Calder Wendt buys a church that serves wedding venues and puts up some wards in it, unaware that the church is a Garou caern. The werewolves immediately assume it's a kind of insidious vampire plot and reject any attempt to just negotiate—when Cecily would just give them back the church. Ian Carfax then makes a decision to work with them but mistakes their magic for something practical versus religious and they go to war with him over it. Neither culture understands the other in the slightest and the actual peace made is one that makes the Lupines furious. |

Cordell then becomes an Anarch and makes any and all promises conditional on the death of Cecily. It doesn't work out for him due to getting targeted by hunters and the information retrieved by Cecily. |

Hate Sink: Actually rare in the book due to the Villain Protagonist and Antihero nature of the cast. A few exist, though. The Wolves in Sheeps' Clothing are a bunch of cannibalistic organ-harvesting cyborg psychopaths who revel in their murder. Elena Kowalski runs the Cull where she kidnaps a bunch of mortals, tortures them in a sadistic manner knowing that they won't live to break the Masquerade, and revels in their fear. |
