* CompleteMonster: The immortal [[WifeHusbandry Brother Michael]], aka Vincente Michel Du Bois, obsessed with producing a child like himself, presides over a cult of his own descendants, sterilizing the men and [[ParentalIncest impregnating the women]] for generations. Any woman who refuses to go along with this voluntarily is strapped to a gurney, has [[FacialHorror her teeth and vocal cords removed]] and is [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil forcibly impregnated]], then tube-fed for nine months before being killed when her child is born; a huge boneyard full of toothless skulls outside the cult's grounds shows this has been going on for a very long time. Whenever Michael feels the cult has grown beyond his control, he performs what he calls a "thinning"--[[OffingTheOffspring killing all but a handful of its members]]--before starting afresh.

* HilariousInHindsight: The series tagline of "Play God. Pay the price" is pretty humorous after LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon had a veritable cult spring up over the Helix fossil praising "Lord Helix" as a new God.

Redundant.

Badass is no longer a trope.

* FoeYay: Tomo and Elisa ''really enjoy'' their battles. Since Elisa is normally more or less seething with rage and has few conventional social skills, and Tomo is a nigh-indestructible BoisterousBruiser with BloodKnight tendencies, this may be the closest thing Elisa has to a fulfilling relationship.
