| Chicagoland Vampires / int_27b83210 | comment |
Hufflepuff House: House Grey serves as this for the first half of the series, not contributing anything to any of the stories. Averted when they join House Cadogan in rebelling against the GP. | |

Vampires Are Rich | |
| Chicagoland Vampires / int_2a024ee6 | comment |
Vampires Are Rich: House Cadogan certainly is. It's a Downplayed Trope example as while they do all live in an enormous mansion, it's more like a dorm and they get a comfortable but not ludicrous stipend. | |

| Chicagoland Vampires / int_35b429f3 | comment |
Weird Trade Union: The Order, which heads up America's sorcerers, is explicitly a union rather than a ruling body. It primarily negotiates the services of sorcerers. | |

Ungrateful Bastard | |
| Chicagoland Vampires / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: Ethan Sullivan takes this attitude with Merit for awhile. While Merit blames him for turning her without her permission, Ethan points out she would be dead otherwise and that she's been given a great gift from his perspective. It informs a lot of their early tension. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Chicagoland Vampires / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: One of the chief conflicts of the setting is that the people of Chicago gradually turn against the vampires of the city, due to all the craziness which goes on around them. This includes riots, hate groups, and vampire hunters. | |

Friendly Neighborhood Vampires: Some of the friendliest in fiction. They drink artificial blood, don't need to kill to feed, cannot turn unless they have permission, and don't have mind-control powers or a Horror Hunger. Indeed, most vampires don't even drink blood from humans. | |

| Chicagoland Vampires / int_75735299 | comment |
Vampire Monarch: Every house is headed by a Master who rules over it as a king. Indeed, every vampire in them has to address them as "my liege." They are all under the Greewich Presidium, which is headed by a vampire council. | |

Magical Sensory Effect: Different aromas are given off when magic is used. A vampire with the ability to Mind Rape people who appeared in the novel Dark Debt smelt like Whisky, as an example. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Chicagoland Vampires / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: They can eat food (and derive great pleasure from it), they don't have to drink from living subjects, they're killed by sunlight, they're very fast, they're very strong, they can't change shape, only some of them can "glamour" people, and they live forever unless killed. Wooden stakes will kill them but a wooden bullet will also do it. | |

| Chicagoland Vampires / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Blue Blood: The Merits of Chicago are one of the city's richest families. Merit, by contrast, is a blue jeans and t-shirt sort of girl. Vampires are this themselves, as they're all divided into noble houses led by vampires, except for Rogues. | |
