* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Look at the core members of the [[Cast Herd|Spamily]]. We have [[Dollhouse|Genius]], [[Naruto|Youth, Bell]], [[Doctor Who|Fred]], and [[Castle (TV)|Derrick]]. Auxiliary members include [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gene-1]], [[Naruto|Lotus]], [[X Wing Series|Rogue (Leader)]], and, arguably, [[The Office (TV)|Boss]].
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: Fairly common. Characters show up wiped of their histories, with only whatever happened in the birth dream and any inherent personality traits and [[Character Tic|Character Tics]].
* [[Ax Crazy]]: There have been several of these, unfortunately. A disproportionate number of them seem to find work at the butcher's shop, to the point where the shop now offers a substantial monthly bonus for ''not killing anyone'' in hopes of attracting some employees who aren't dangerously insane.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: The CPA.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Any of the characters can have a nasty streak of misfortune when their mundane decides to take advantage of various "events", the state of the Wilderness, and player plots. [[Mushishi|Cloud]]'s mundane admits to liking how he reacts to pain and adversity.
** [[Final Fantasy IV|Paladin's]] mun has, in the month of June, had him participate in [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|Dudesels In Distress]] and end up tied naked to a rock, wake up in someone's bed during Masters-Apprentices, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|aaand]] he's going to the [[Silent Hill]] wilderness. ''Twice''.
* [[Cast Herd]]: There are several "families" or "harems". And the butcher's.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Most of the Hedonism Brigade is this type of pervert, or the [[Lovable Sex Maniac]] variety.
Line 20:
** These events are: Evil Twins (original flavor or redux), Revolving Reveries (Sir No Longer Appearing In This Game), and Radio Memories (January 2011).
** While [[There Are No Therapists]], the reason these clustered player-run plots usually affect the whole game is that if you aren't in direct line of the drama/trauma, you're probably a friend of someone who was.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Brianna / Handmaiden after her death. [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Veda]] after an encounter with Fred's evil twin.
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: All of the current captains of combat-heavy jobs: [[Bleach|Bastet]] (Guard), [[Discworld|Stoneface]] (Watch), [[Bleach|Kiba]] (Adventurers), [[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Locket]] (Adventurers), and [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Target]] (Adventurers).
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Fred. Leading to some very amusing moments.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Some very entertaining 4th Wall moments in the game.
Line 28:
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: A previous butcher, an OC named Fenrir, killed people, chopped them up, and sold the pieces as meat. Discovering this drove Stoneface ([[Discworld|Sam Vimes]]) to [[Vomiting Cop|be sick]]. These days, while it's run by a total [[Dysfunction Junction]] and [[Good Thing You Can Heal|it's lucky everyone can heal]], it ''is'' better.
* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]: Although due to the nature of the Tree, it's more like "incurable cough of indefinite non-lethality."
* [[Heterosexual Life Partner]]: [[Power Rangers SPD|Sky and Bridge]], [[Persona (Videovideo Gamegame)|Castor and Pollux]], [[DOGS Bullets and Carnage|Eyepatch and Zombie]], [[Dollhouse|Genius]] and [[Castle (TV)|Derrick.]].. there are more of these than actual pairings. Some, though not all, are either between canonmates or people who were "born" at the same time, therefore are twins
* [[Ho Yay]]: Of course! Notably, there was a [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Wright and an Edgeworth]] who managed to keep up the UST for ages without ever actually ''doing'' anything.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Everyone. People remember how to speak and function, they may remember things like the name of their homeworld and, say, that Disneyland exists, but they don't remember who they are, what they did, who their friends were, or anything of the sort. Memories of single scenes can be regained through memory crystals.
* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: Characters name themselves, often based off of something they saw in the dream, sometimes [[Appropriated Appellation|from something shouted in it]]. Lampshaded when a shapeshifting OC, Grift, turned into a surfer who called himself Board.
* [[Meaningful Rename]]: Characters can get their old names back via memory crystals, and many of them start calling themselves these.
* [[Naked Onon Arrival]]: New characters break out of cocoons [[Covered in Gunge]].
* [[Name's the Same]]: Characters name themselves, usually based off of their dream. Inevitably some are the same. [[Naruto|Crow]] and [[D .Gray Man-man|Crow]] and [[Power Rangers SPD|Ghost]] and [[D .Gray Man-man|Ghost]] were around at the same time; others never met. Those include [[Onmyou Taisenki|Trust]] and [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Trust]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Sniper]] and [[One Piece|Sniper]], and plenty of Angels.
** Bonus hilarity occurred during the 2011 New Year's date auction, when [[Final Fantasy VII|Marbles]] ended up winning/being won for dates with [[One Piece|both]] [[Code Geass|Kings]].
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: Just look at [http://community.livejournal.com/edensphere_log/611057.html?thread=9688817#t9688817 this] from when [[Final Fantasy IV|Paladin]] and [[Discworld|Stoneface]] visited [[Silent Hill]].
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Fred([[Doctor Who|Romana]]) and any members of her "harem" tend to count.
* [[Split Personality Takeover]]: [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|P/Raise]] and [[DOGS Bullets and Carnage|Zombie]] both had highly evil split personalities who did this.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Sort of. If a character is canon updated or dropped and taken by someone else they are born with no memories of their life in the Sphere. They have a different dream and usually name themselves differently, too. The others very much do notice, though.
** The big example is poor [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Neil Dylandy/Lockon Stratos]]. He's been born as Sniper, Range, and now Aim, and in every incarnation he's worked in the weapons stall. In two incarnations he's been involved with [[Bleach|Bastet]], but in the third she's decided not to bother.
* [[Official Couple]](s): [[Power Rangers SPD|Sky]] and [[Firefly (TV)|Inara]], [[Naruto|Youth and Bell]], [[Bleach|Kiba and Kazahana]]
* [[Only One Name]]: Most characters, at least until they recover their old ones.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: You don't mess with [[Bleach|Koi's]] family, adopted or not.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: So cool, it's the name of the local hang-out (a bar). Also applies to every smoker ever in the game.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: [[Bleach|Lin]] to the point she's become an in-character joke - and not just by stalking [[Bleach|Bastet]], but [[Persona (Videovideo Gamegame)|Castor]] as well!
* [[Team Pet]]: For a while, [[Castle (TV)|Derrick]] lent couch space to [[The Office (TV)|Boss]] while telling his roommate that Boss was this. He wasn't sure if Boss was either ''that'' [[Too Dumb to Live|stupid]] or an epic [[Troll]]. After a line was crossed, he kicked Boss out.
* [[Translator Microbes]]: The language geas means that everyone's primary language is English. [[Translation Train Wreck|Much funtimes laughing]] resulted when the geas malfunctioned in an event.
* [[Troperrific]]: That, or some of the players are tropers.
Line 52:
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: [[Peacemaker Kurogane|Daitou]] is one, and arguably so was [[Bleach|Blood]].
* [[When Trees Attack]]: Also known as [[Fan Nickname|"getting Treeshanked]], should your character cross a particular line against The Powers That Be.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Verrry common. Currently? [[Young Avengers|Dash]], [[D .Gray Man-man|Cross]], [[DOGS Bullets and Carnage|Zombie]], [[Persona (Videovideo Gamegame)|Pollux]], [[Mushishi|Cloud]], [[Final Fantasy VII|Eternity]], [[Bleach|Koi]], [[Naruto|Bell]]... sometimes Paladin... Poor, poor Dyad ([[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|post-crazy Allelujah Haptism]]) had an unfortunate tendency to see them from behind and think they're [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|his dream girl]].
* [[Who's Onon First?]]: Not uncommon. Of special interest was Nobody.
* [[World Tree]]: The Great Oak.
* [[Your Universe or Mine?]]
