Line 33:
* [[Author Existence Failure]] - Or more precisely, ''Author's Wife Existence Failure'' since the author cancelled the comic for good after his wife died of cancer. However, since joining [[Fur Affinity]] recently, he's been so flattered by the effusive praise he's gotten that he's giving the idea of reviving the series some thought.
* [[Badass]] - All of the members of the EDF and the ILR.
* [[Big Screwed -Up Family]] - The Felnas were ''already'' screwed up even before Erma was born (in fact, {{spoiler|she was born in a middle of a terrorist attack.}}) and later {{spoiler|when Kanoc is captured and tortured by the ILR,}} but after Tavas Ikalik decided to make Erma suffer BIG TIME, the things are starting to [[It Got Worse|getting much uglier for them.]]
* [[Cool Starship]] - Averted. Most of the spaceships are cylindric-shaped and plain-looking due to the need to create artificial gravity for the ship.
* [[Cloning Blues]] - {{spoiler|Teka Ardehad is a clone of Erma, when the Ardehad family wasn't able to have an biological heir.}}
Line 47:
* [[A Father to His Men]] - Captain Arrat ''does not'' take it lightly when someone hurts his crew.
* [[The Federation]] - The Confederation (ConFed), the EDF (ConFed's military branch), and the Enchawah Corp. (A Zaibatsu-style conglomerate of planets).
* [[Four -Fingered Hands]] - And they also use a base-8 numerical system to match this, {{spoiler|until they find the derelict human spaceship, who uses a base-10 system on the ship's computers for obvious reasons.}}
* [[Fully -Dressed Cartoon Animal|Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals]] - The entire cast.
* [[Genki Girl]] - Toki.
* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]] - Especially in the ''Refractions'' anthology.
Line 56:
* [[Honorifics]] - A very rare, non-Asian example: Many of the characters uses the "Honorable {insert last name}" honorific for adressing to very important people. It's the equivalent of using the "-sama" honorific in the same way in Japanese.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]] - Unlike its sequel, Birthright, the original was never re-issued, as of 2011.
* [[Killer Rabbit]] / [[Hair -Raising Hare]] - The ILR army is a ''whole'' army of them!
** The EDF also counts too.
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]] - Justified, since kinetic weapons are more effective for destroy entire cities and targets than nukes.
* [[Lady of War]] - Erma, Toki, and many other females counts as those.
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]] - {{spoiler|The side-story ''In the Beginning'', published in the Refractions anthology, the Human Creators wipes out any memories from their existence (but not vital information, like using advanced technology, etc.) from the Species (critters) with the help of drugs. Needless to day, many human scientists were ''were not amused'' by that.}}
* [[Last -Name Basis]] - Justified, due to the military protocol the characters are subjected, but also used in civilian contexts.
* [[Law of Alien Names]] - Used here in full force, [[Aerith and Bob|with some exceptions.]] (Including the titular heroine)
* [[Love Hurts]] - Almost ''none'' of the couples appearing in the Albedo universe (and their families) have a good marital or romantic life due of the war. Erma and Alfon were an exception of this trope, {{spoiler|until Alfon dies during the ILR attack over Dornthant thanks to Tavas's schemes over The Net.}}
Line 75:
* [[Precursors]] - The Creators, named in-universe by all the characters in the Albedo universe. {{spoiler|They also are known as ''the Human race.''}}
* [[The Republic]] - the ILR.
* [[Self -Deprecation]] - The ILR is basically an over-capitalistic, xenophobic and genocidal version of the United States and its army. This is even more [[Harsher in Hindsight]] if you know that Steven A. Gallacci, the author, was a member of the '''U.S. Air Force.'''
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]] - Many characters, especially {{spoiler|Kanoc and his daughter Erma in her final years of her life.}}
* [[Strange Syntax Speaker]] - Due possibly to the [[Translation Convention]] used in the series, all the characters speaks using a very weird syntax, making the dialogues sounds a bit more alien.
* [[Title Drop]] - Used {{spoiler|when Erma and some EDF members found the wrecked human ship and they aren't able to see it from outside.:}}
