Vampires can be profound creatures with dangerous conflictions, heartfelt stories and emotional complexities.

However, they don't all need to be characters of Shakespearian proportion, as it's often just as enjoyable to see a vamp tearing the house down with awesome action, a badass look and some exciting mechanics. That's what Rayne from the BloodRayne series chucks your way.

Rayne is a dhampir, meaning that she is born of a human and a vampire. This sets up her story excellently, as she went from an innocent child who hated violence to a bloodthirsty and merciless killer in the quest for revenge against her father for killing her mother.

The BloodRayne games hardly work to give you a complex story as they simply indulge in the fantasy of being a dangerous vampire in a world full of enemies. Rayne's position as an agent of the Brimstone Society means that she is inherently seeking to protect humanity from evil by any means necessary, which often translates as brutal, bloody carnage, which she completely adores.

Her extraordinary power and provocative dominatrix inspired aesthetic make her a captivating presence, and you have an absolute blast taking control of her.
