[edit] Derived from Svetlana?
JeremyLydellHaugen added the following:
The character is a derivative of the character Svetlana Lepescu from Terminal Reality's 1999 PC game Nocturne, a deeply atmospheric and more subtle game than the BloodRayne series.
The first bit needs substantiation if true; the second bit is highly POV and does not belong on Wikipedia. --Phil | Talk 09:29, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
I'd say that is a good observation. Svetlana Lupescu was a sexy, leather clad dhampir armed with what has become Bloodraynes tradmark blades. I agree with the second sentence, but it is totally subjective and has no place in Wikipedia. Meekrob 18:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unwarranted Edits and Reverts by User:Hmib
User:Hmib is for some unknown reason is continously reverting and editing my entries into BloodRayne. In October 2004 Playboy Magazine did an article called Gaming Grown Up and in the article they featured several videogame characters including Rayne from BloodRayne either semi or totally nude. Hmib says that it has nothing to do with the article but I contend that since it has a direct connection with the videogame's character it should be included. I did include a Warning next to the link that says the link does contain nudity. I open the floor to further discussion on this matter. User:151.198.148.97 16:20, 20 June 2005 (UTC).
- I reverted it because, as a simple click on the link would reveal, that not a single tittie is in sight. The URL you provided was a dead link that automatically got redirected to the main page. The URL points to a blog. BLOG! Blogs are meant to be continously updated. Unless it's a main-page feature (which it's not) any nude pictures of BloodRayne is not going to stay there for long. Take the time to find the REAL URL, like I did (Ugh! My eyes!) and don't take such trivially resolved issues to the talk page. -Hmib 19:34, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Where did this come from?
... In the very end of Bloodrayne 2, Severin claims that the Brimstone society will have drawn their lines carefully, waging war on all vampire kind, including people such as himself and Rayne. This could mean that he too is a half-vampire or something of the sort. Apparently he might be replaced by a new dhampir who will help Rayne in her missions, secretly named LS.
...In the game, Ephemera is one of the more prominent villains, and is possibly Kagan's favorite daughter. It is implied that she is also a full blooded vampire much like most of Rayne's siblings. Ephemera is also Severin's old love and master, but Rayne took him from her. She even betrayed her sister Ferrill and stabbed her then threw her off of a shroud tower.
Has BloodRayne 3's story been announced already or maybe I missed something in the second game? Where did the storyline details in bold come from?
No, much of this is indeed speculation. At the risk of spoiling things, there have been no details released on Bloodrayne 3 and since Majesco are apparently scaling back their operations, a Bloodrayne 3 may not come out at all. Severin, during the game's ending does indeed say he is half vampire or vampire, stating as above that the Brimstone society will be against them. Though this doesn't come as a surprise to Rayne apparently, so I'm guessing she knew this anyway.
Also, the game does reveal a link between Ephemera and Severin. In a hidden video, we see Ephemera and Rayne talking. Rayne mentions she took something from Ephemera eight years ago. After a few seconds, Ephemera exclaims:"my black shadow thief..." and it is revealed that the subject of their discussion is Severin. I can't see why he would need to be replaced since if there's a third game, it might involve fighting the Brimstone society. The game's ending, if the hooded figures are the Brimstone society, seems to indicate that the Brimstone Society themselves are corrupt, one of the members being seen to sent demons of some sort towards Rayne's tower.
[edit] "Birds figure heavily into their bloodline."
According to the article, the Kestrel worship birds. I can't find any mention of this in BloodRayne 2, aside from this quote from Severin: "Looks like birds figure heavily into their bloodline." Did he mean that the Kestrel worship birds, or was he saying that the Kestrel were mostly female? ("bird" is British slang for "girl", and Severin does have a slight British accent)
[edit] Proposal to split article
I feel there is enough content in this article to warrant splitting the article into BloodRayne (series) (like the Tomb Raider series article) and BloodRayne 2 (currently a #REDIRECT to this article) while retaining the original article. —Metamorf 20:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- I say let's do it. Split them up into separate sections. —24.250.58.113 08:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- No, there it no need for a spliting of the Raynes. Since there may be no third part there is no justification for the split. Should this be the case in the future, then so be it.
[edit] Comic section
Anybody have more info on the comic books? I was looking for some info, but it's pretty bare. --ScarletSpiderDave 19:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
FOR COMICS, go to digitalwebbing.com, the publisher.
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 05:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures
A few pictures aren't shown in the article since I've corrected Wulfs forename (trust me, it's correct now - I'm german). Someone who know's how to handle pics in Wikipedia should correct that, please!!! - Soulslayer (from the german Wikipedia) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.121.110.3 (talk) 20:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC).
