* [[Cool Old Lady]]: Mama Jason in ''Mirabile''
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Eben in "Standing in the Spirit". (His mother was a fan of ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'', and didn't consider the schoolyard bullying potential.)
* [[I Know Your True Name]]: In ''Hellspark'', Yn shamans can do magic on people whose true name they know.
* [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]]: Maggie in ''Hellspark''
* [[Intrepid Merchant]]: The protagonist, and many of the other Hellsparks, in ''Hellspark''.
* [[Language of Truth]]: In ''Hellspark'', it is technically possible to lie in Jenji, but the language is structured to provide as much accuracy and detail as possible, and is backed up by cultural and religious penalties for lying. Several times characters refer to speaking in Jenji as synonymous to telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
