Line 5:
'''Shelton''': ...That's probably the best answer anyone could've given. }}
* [[Badass Decay]] - Meta example. Dr. Keith Bailey from the rebooted Furtopia RP was just as capable with a firearm as any other character. In the Gang of Five RPs, he is pretty much incapable of fighting.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]] - As Drs. Shelton and Zanasiu run away from the exploding Einstein-Rosen Bridge at the end of the first RP, a [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165134/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=4340&view=findpost&p=9069804 winged fox swoops down from the sky] and [[Deus Ex Machina|flies them to safety]]. This moment is never spoken of again.
* [[Complete Monster]] - Professor Eclipse from the Furtopia RPs is an unrepentant sociopath whose main motivation for doing anything is [[For the Evulz]].
* [[Creator's Pet]] - Dragore from the Furtopia RPs fits this trope perfectly. A [[Mary Sue]] and a [[The Scrappy|scrappy]] with a big role, adored by the creator and steals the spotlight.
Line 13:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - None in the fic but [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|several moments]] ''demand'' that you open up [[YouTube]] and blast [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZm4zseMok0 Primo Victoria], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q6skxRLnsI Preliator], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqDuR1NM7ps Schwarze Sonne] or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1a_ikfUico Danger Zone] at full volume.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]] - Subject 19 anyone? Well, the girl practically wears revealing clothes.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9199782 Roux], the female Wolf dresses in ''extremely'' revealing clothing (namely a pair of nearly see-through thong panties and that is it).
* [[Genius Bonus]] - there are some references that make little to no sense unless one has an understanding of science.
* [[Growing the Beard]] - Shelton in the third RP, literally and figuratively.
Line 22:
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]] - Quite high. Some parts of the RPs and stories get absolutely crazy.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]] - In James' mind, Siberys crossed it in ''Card of Ten'' when threatening a child's life to force the king to commit suicide.
* [[Take That, Scrappy!]] - In ''Ground One'' Dragore (see below) gets a particularly horrendous [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|eaten alive by carnivorous atmosphere but prevented from dying by his nanobots. The endless pain drives him insane.}}
* [[The Scrappy]] - Dragore from the Furtopia RPs is one of the most hated characters in the entire series.
** Aydin from ''Disruptive Selection'' is a close contender for the "[[Sarcasm Mode|coveted]]" title of most "hated character". Being a relatively flat character who [[Writer on Board|shares his creator's views]] and being a member of a [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|thinly veiled]] [[Unfortunate Implications|unflattering]] depiction of modern day Native Americans will do that.
* [[Strangled by the Red String]] - Of the four relationships consummated in the Culeston hotel, only Shelton/Shakila had any sort of foreshadowing.<ref>It was also ironically the only relationship that didn't work out</ref>.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]] - The Vulpine are ''huge'' offenders. For starters, they are a [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] version of modern Native Americans all mashed together into an amalgam. They live in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9189772 horrific] [[Vice City|conditions]], alcoholism and severe poverty are rampant. Furthermore, most of the Vulpine are described as sex-crazed, "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9189680 barely civilized savages]" by [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|Aydin]]. To top off this mess, Aydin (one of the two Vulpine main characters) is a [[Fantastic Racism|speciesist]] who [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|hates snakes]] and has no compunctions about attacking his allies if he feels that Aimee is in danger. Thankfully, this is somewhat cushioned by the fact that Aimee is a fairly sympathetic and rounded character.
* [[Wangst]] - Dragore from the Furtopia RPs constantly complains about being unloved.
