 * The Atoner: Kugrash, who . For decades before the campaign starts he helps the dispossessed and homeless of New York City.
 * Brainless Beauty: Ricky posed for a firefighter calendar and his hotness is noticed by everyone, but he struggles to keep up with his love interest's sea of knowledge.

 * The Mafia: The mafia that displays prominently in the campaign is the pixie mafia led by Don Confetti.
 * The Chosen One: Two actually: the Vox Populi and the Vox Phantasma. The former speaks for the people of the Waking World and the latter speaks for the denizens of Nod.

 * Transgender: Pete is a trans man.
 * Wild Magic: Pete has to make a Wild Magic surge roll every time he casts a non-cantrip spell (Nat 1 on a d20 produces a random effect). A homebrew rule is in place where the threshold increases by 1 each time he does not surge. He eventually gains the ability to choose between two possible effects.
