Line 49:
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Beth Metatronim is a man. No, really.
** That's due to the [[Theme Naming]]. Beth in this case doesn't stand for Elizabeth, but for the second letter in the Hebrew alphabet. His sister is named after the third letter, Gimel.
* [[Go Mad
* [[God]]: Eloat.
* [[God Is Evil]]: More like God refuses to accept that he is screwing up the cycle of the universe.
Line 64:
* [[Missing Mom]]: Gimel and Beth haven't seen their mother in decades. Subverted in that neither of them is particularly concerned about this.
* [[No Biological Sex]]: The eloim, being a race of angels, are this in their true forms.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Rayo is too stubborn to admit that her feelings for Q'orveh are deeper than lust because of their many differences. [[Love Epiphany|She realizes the truth too late]].
* [[Or Was It a Dream?]]: Every one of Rayojini's encounters with Gimel and Beth, the most notable offense being when Beth rapes her.
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]/[[Our Vampires Are Different]]: The eloim are spiritual beings that require human blood to maintain human form.
Line 79:
* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: Beth and Gimel kill thirteen soulscapers before they find Rayojini.
* [[Token Minority]]/[[Magical Negro]]: Averted. Rayojini is the protagonist of the story and only fixes other people as part of her job.
* [[Training
* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Eloat and Sammael. Averted with other eloim as they are taught to reproduce like humans.
* [[Victorian Novel Disease]]: Salyon has been sickly (and a [[Sanity Slippage|little touched in the head]]) since Rayojini's mother healed him as a child.
