Line 210:
* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: Daos and Gades die feeling for the first time the same feeling they tried to bring upon countless innocent people: terror.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/08/25/588-final-words-of-terrot/ Stated by Alex] to be what they did to [http://www.captainsnes.com/2008/06/06/565-broken/ Sailor Mercury.]
* [[Out -Gambitted]]: The Sinistrals wanted to get the Shard of Tears because the Sovereign of Sorrow [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/09/27/495-daos-tale-part-4/ told them it would give them power over her], which in turn would allow them to free Erim from her influence as well as make them practically invincible. They went to the Nexus because the Sovereign told them that's were the Shard was. She also told them that the Gamemaster is her champion, so when they met Alex in Nexus they wanted to kill him or at least make him serve them. It looked like the Sinistrals were on their way to become the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of the story... until Alex pointed out that going to the Nexus and fighting him [http://www.captainsnes.com/2005/10/15/498-negotiation-gamemasta-style/ was exactly what the Sovereign wanted them to do], as it meant that her enemies, instead of trying to fight her, would fight against each other. {{spoiler|Which is what ultimately happened - Alex ended up killing two of the Sinistrals, but not before learning that [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/08/14/585-breaking-point/ he couldn't oppose the Sovereign without paying a price.]}}
* [[Physical God|Physical Gods]]
* [[Pride]]: One of their defining traits. [http://www.captainsnes.com/2009/08/25/588-final-words-of-terrot/ As Alex pointed out], upon meeting someone who's more powerful than they are or at least refuses to bend to their will, the Sinistrals just refuse to let it go; their arrogance blinds them and they can only think about killing or subjugating their opponent. {{spoiler|This eventually leads to Daos's and Gades's undoing and to Amon being trapped on the Desert of Shattered Dreams.}}
Line 220:
 
* [[The Ditz]]: Which begs the interesting philosophical question: is the author telling us that hatred naturally makes you stupid?
* [[Look Behind You!]]: Fell for it 3 times.
** [[Crying Wolf]]: The fourth time there really was a naked Alanis Morrisette behind him.
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Wrath
Line 250:
 
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Although Gato is well behaved at first, Kain did serious damage to his programming with a well-placed spear to his processors. Before being Touched, he was an HK-47 wannabe with a micro-singularity. Now...
* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]]
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|Even Evil Robots Love Their Creators]]: He seems to be genuinely devoted to Lucca.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: [http://www.captainsnes.com/2004/11/18/461-the-true-meaning-of-suffering/ Lampshaded by Alex].
