* [[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. |

* [[Non Sequitur Scene]] - As Drs. Shelton and Zanasiu run away from the exploding Einstein-Rosen Bridge at the end of the first RP, a [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]].

* [[Complete Monster]] - Professor Eclipse from the Furtopia RPs is an unrepentant sociopath whose main motivation for doing anything is [[For the Evulz]]. |

** 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 [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, "[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. |
