Line 15:
* [[Action Girl]] -- Riley shows signs of slowly growing into one, while Fiona is an English-accented variant of the most hardcore.
* [[Affably Evil]] -- Lee John is perfectly willing to be sociable with people, as long as they're not being difficult. It's only when things might potentially foil his plans that he has to [[Complete Monster|take steps]].
* [[As Long Asas There Is Evil]] -- Pretty much the whole point of The Key of Solomon agency. They are the balance against evil. Which is, um, mostly employed by evil.
* [[Ax Crazy]] -- Sevink and Lee John.
* [[Badass Normal]] -- Riley. She doesn't really have any special abilities beyond [[The Sixth Sense|seeing dead people]] and she has literally no knowledge of how the supernatural works. Yet in her first engagement with a supernatural entity, she proves to be the deciding factor between her team's annihilation and the capture of the creature.
Line 31:
* [[Cool Loser]] -- Riley has a decent pair of tits, blond hair, blue, er, demonic green eyes, and a very engaging (if sociopathic) sense of humor. Yet she's portrayed as being very down and out at the outset of the story.
* [[Crazy Prepared]] -- Riley's apartment wall. '''In case of Cliche' Emergencies'''. For Witches (wicked), a super-soaker. For vampires or [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|tents]], a wooden stake. For Jesus, a [[Don't Explain the Joke|nailgun]], for the Devil, a violin. For [[Doctor Who|Daleks]] (or shelves), a Sonic Screwdriver. For [[Half Life|Headcrabs]], a Crowbar. And for [[Jurassic Park|Raptors]], [[Zombie Apocalypse|zombies]] or [[My Friends and Zoidberg|misc]], the aforementioned SPAS-12.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]] -- Subverted heavily by a one-shot vampire. He's immortal, yes, but he looks ugly, is obviously no longer human, smells like crap, and his blood acts like an acid unless he wears a heavy, awkward machine at all times. And if he takes a life, big brother will be right there to end him.
** Played straight with Connall. He's a "black shuck", a supernatural dog who's been cursed with Humanthropy. He is excessively happy with this turn of events.
{{quote| ''Connall'': Oh yeah. They fucked up that curse for sure. Being a dude is friggan sweet! I have opposable thumbs now! [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|I can eat Pez, use toilet paper, and shoot people in the frickin face!]] People like you! I -really- want to shoot you in the face!}}
Line 64:
* [[Our Demons Are Different]] -- Natch.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]] -- [http://www.hookiedookiepanic.com/geist/comic.php?ID=58 And very sad.]
** Vampires in this comic take [[Blessed Withwith Suck]] to unbelievable levels, to the point that there's practically no bless in the equation. It's a horrible disease that, without constant runic dialysis filtering your blood, will cause your body to rot and decay, and drive you mad. The victim is pitiably weak, has a horrendous stench, and their skin is turned pitch black (from it constantly necrotising), your hair turns a limp, lifeless grey, and your eyes turn pure red (Probably caused by capillaries in the eyes bleeding out). But it's implied that you can live forever with this disease. [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Which is exactly as much fun as it sounds.]]
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]] -- Aislin, apparently.
* [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child]]: Knob's truck is fueled by the blood of orphans. Mind you, the orphans give their blood in exchange for hugs...
* [[Running Gag]] -- There are a few. Noticeably, Riley's appearance is mocked by various people and Lee John's wish for awesome music while he murders people.
* [[Schedule Slip]]
** Schedule?
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]] -- In a jar, actually, which are available for the reasonable price of twenty bucks.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]] -- Sevink.
* [[Shout-Out]] -- The third page has what suspiciously looks like a [[Bleach|Hollow]]
Line 77:
* [[Unfazed Everyman]] -- Riley. Poor girl wakes up to find that she can now see beyond [[The Masquerade]] and there's not anything she can do about it but adapt.
* [[Unsound Effect]] -- Practically one in every comic. See the trope page for more info. Notable is Riley's SPAS12, which makes the sound effect... SPAS12.
* [[Wall of Weapons]] -- [http://www.hookiedookiepanic.com/geist/comic.php?ID=13 This page] shows that Riley is prepared for Zombies, Raptors, [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Literature)|Wicked Witches]], Vampires/Tents, [[Doctor Who|Daleks/Shelves]], The Devil, [[Half Life|Headcrabs]], and Jesus. Notably, the weapon for dealing with Jesus is a nailgun, which may be a [[Shout-Out]] to the Jay story arc of FLEM Comics.
** Or it's just noting the fact it's probably quicker and easier to get [[Don't Explain the Joke|Jesus back on his cross with a nailgun than with a hammer]].
* [[Write Who You Know]] -- Riley. If one ignores all the supernatural stuff.
