BloodRayne: Power & Abilities Update - Adding New Powers + Justifying the Current Ones...Kinda

[LegendariumOfLies]

As we know currently, Rayne's Abilities Section is terrible:

Rayne

Rayne is the titular protagonist of the BloodRayne franchise, originally appearing in the first installment. She is a dhampir, a half-breed of vampire and human with all of the strengths of the former, yet with fewer weaknesses. Born in 1915, Rayne was conceived after the **** of her mother by...

No justification. No sources. No examples. Nothing. Seeing this, I put my nose to the Grindstone to not only justify most of her current abilities but also give her new ones.

Not saying this is everything, but it should be a good start.
I also chose to split Rayne into two keys - A BloodRayne 1 & a BloodRayne 2 key, because Rayne gets new abilities in the sequel and presumbly stronger in the sequel. As for why I didn't put any evidence into the BloodRayne 2 abilities - I got burnt out.

Also futher Updates: As it turn out the Skies Afire, Lycan Rex, and Twin Blades comics are canon.

Good work on the blog. Most of this looks good. I only have a couple of issues.

About the regeneration, the scan itself says that the creatures can't liquefy Rayne. In addition, Rayne thought Mynce was dead. Are we sure Mynce regenerated from being melted, and didn't just stay whole, or tear her way out? I can't help but think that vampires in Bloodrayne pretty consistently die from wounds that the proposed level of regeneration would render minor.

As for the Invulnerability Negation, that just sounds like beating them via a boost in AP.

Thx. Sorry for the late reply IRL stuff.

Most likley a gameplay restriction.

The only time vampires have died are either to Superior Vampires or those with regeneration negation. For example, Mynce died to Wulf who could kill Hedrox by gouging out his heart, despite Hedrox being able to regen from a single limb. Also, not in BloodRayne 1 but in BloodRayne 2 we do get an example who have regen at that level

As for the Invulnerability Negation, that just sounds like beating them via a boost in AP.

Should have put more evidence:
Rayne is able to harm and, eventually, kill Wulf with her Blood Rage despite Wulf being shown to be invunerable to conventional weaponary, and it being stated in the BloodRayne Strategy Guide that guns cannot hurt him: "Gunfire and normal blade attacks do not hurt him. They do, however, slow him down and cause him to flinch...
Blood Rage attacks are the only way to hurt him." (BloodRayne Strategy Guide Page 92).

No problem at all.

It's in the guide though. It could just mean it doesn't happen in gameplay, but it also could mean they physically can't liquefy Rayne. That combined with Mynce surviving being eaten by one kind of points to it not being able to liquefy them. Whether this is High-Mid Regeneration, Acid resistance or far superior durability is left to us to interpret.

The only time vampires have died are either to Superior Vampires or those with regeneration negation.

The Hedrox scan says he can be killed with water, which is shown to just burn Rayne. And other vampires die from Rayne shooting them. Several Hedrox clones are killed by a building collapsing on them if I'm not mistaken.

For example, Mynce died to Wulf who could kill Hedrox by gouging out his heart

That video shows Beliar's heart corrupting Hedrox and taking over his body, remotely killing his clones. That's corruption rather than regen negation.

despite Hedrox being able to regen from a single limb.

Hedrox is a unique case with his cloning though, since the scan describes copying himself rather than regenerating.

Also, not in BloodRayne 1 but in BloodRayne 2 we do get an example who have regen at that level

The video describes the Shakab as a vampire that is unique in that the only way of killing it is destroying the heart, with this making it harder to kill and a unique challenge. That seems to actually further contradict the notion of all vampires having the ability to regenerate from being liquefied.

Should have put more evidence:
Rayne is able to harm and, eventually, kill Wulf with her Blood Rage despite Wulf being shown to be invunerable to conventional weaponary, and it being stated in the BloodRayne Strategy Guide that guns cannot hurt him: "Gunfire and normal blade attacks do not hurt him.

Blood Rage attacks are the only way to hurt him." (BloodRayne Strategy Guide Page 92).

This still seems like durability without more context.

I can't help but notice that the regeneration negation seems to be based on Rayne being wounded after being stabbed in the torso, and comparing that to Hedrox being able to clone himself from a single limb. I'm not sure that's what's really going on here. Hedrox appears to be a unique case, and we even have the Shakab's ability to survive anything short of heart destruction being treated as an unusually high level of survivability when it would be an oddly low level of survivability if all vampires had High-Mid Regeneration..

Yeah, looking back I think Rayne maxes at Low-Mid from her critical organs being hurt.

Mynce straight up call him invincible.

BUMP

 

[Apotheosis69]

Honestly, this all looks good

 

[ActuallySpaceMan42]

Disagree with the Immortality Negations. Disagree with Superhuman Precision. Disagree with Invulnerability Negation.

Everything else seems fine.

Why?

 

[ActuallySpaceMan42]

Killing zombies has been decided to not be Immortality Negation for a while, unless your removing their undead characteristics or the like. The blade thing doesn't have any statements. And you can overwhelm regeneration without negating it by just beating them beyond the point they can heal.

Shooting a target without looking is something even a human can do, not superhuman.

And I disagree with the Invulnerability Negation for the same reasons Random-Helper323 did.

 

[Theglassman12]

Don't personally see invulnerability negation as Berserk Mode can also just be strong enough to harm them. Everything else looks fine.

 

[FinePoint]

I concur with ActuallySpaceMan.

 

[LegendariumOfLies]

Okay. Changes Applied. Grace Started
