15 | !!Tropes in ''Bloodseed'' (1993): |
16 | * ArtificialHuman: Lysander, Ellissya and the other Runners seem to be created via genetic engineering. |
17 | * CoversAlwaysLie: The second issue's cover shows Lysander wearing a huge, long-clawed gauntlet on his right hand. He doesn't have any such weapon in the story, though. |
18 | * CutShort: Cancelled after two issues and a short story, leaving the first arc incomplete. |
19 | * ExposedToTheElements: Lysander and Ellissya both find themselves naked in icy wastelands. It doesn't seem to bother them too much, although Lysander's narration suggests that he's definitely feeling the cold. |
20 | * FakeMemories: Lysander and Ellissya get GenderFlip versions of the same life ruling Elysium. They each remember being the warrior and ruler, with a version of the other as their beautiful (and less muscular and warlike) consort. |
21 | * GenderFlip: Done in-universe, with the FakeMemories that Gene-Corp seem to have implanted into both Ellissya and Lysander. |
22 | * LivingDinosaurs: Lord Jura is revealed to be an evolved dinosaur. Apparently they reached sentience, built a space-faring society and left Earth for the stars (leaving no trace of their civilisation behind, as their tech is designed to break down in an ecologically friendly manner). |
23 | * LowCultureHighTech: Lysander doesn't understand the technology he finds, but he uses the hi-tech helmet once it's offered to him. |
24 | * RecklessGunUsage: Justified and exaggerated. Lysander's never seen a gun before, so when he finds one he points it at his face and pulls the trigger to see what happens. There's merely a click, as it's not loaded. |
25 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: In true barbarian style, Lysander doesn’t really bother with shirts. |
