Line 18:
* [[Ambiguously Human]]: All of the MPM members look human (except the cat). Chip is confirmed to be a Vampire, and Brass and Squiggle seem to be human – although Squiggle {{spoiler|has metal hands via which she can manipulate computers}}. Nobody pretends to know for sure about Shadow, and Pieman keeps insisting he’s human but the rest of them don’t seem to buy it.
* [[Animorphism]]: Eva is an [[Inverted Trope]] of this – an animal who spends her time as a human. Shadow and Maria are (or were) straight examples according to their bios. The demon Narinia is either this played straight or inverted depending on your viewpoint.
* [[Anti
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Chip implies that former MPM member Legit was either this or [[The Rival]] to Shadow. Considering Legit’s bio lists his interests as including "''genocide''", it’s entirely possible he left the company and became Shadow’s personal [[Big Bad]].
* [[Author Avatar]]: Since the comic grew out of an RP thread, pretty-much every character is an avatar for someone somewhere. Shadow, Pieman and the occasionally-appearing Maria are the avatars of the actual creators of the webcomic, however.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Shadow is both the leader and, by implication, the best fighter. Chip is technically the heir to the vampire throne and is shown to be more badass than any other vampire. The trope is, however, subverted in regards to Chip's [[Non
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Shadow. Pieman the Third. And pretty-much everyone else has at least one badass-sounding alias.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Shadow and Brass both.
Line 34:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|The ''cat''.}}
* [[Christmas Episode]]: The comic deliberately broke schedule to release [http://mpm.thewebcomic.com/comics/1474348/195-christmas-dinner/ this] on Christmas Day 2011.
* [[Colour
* [[Creepy Doll]]: Former MPM member Legit was a living one of these.
* [[Cute Little Fang]]: Chip has at least one, probably two. It’s hard to tell from the art style.
Line 46:
* [[Fighting Irish]]: Shadow is both confrontational and (apparently) Irish.
* [[Friendly Neighbourhood Vampires]]: Chip.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Shadow.
** [[The Lancer]]: Brass and Chip take turns.
Line 94:
* [[Technopath]]: {{spoiler|Squiggle.}}
* [[Trademark Favourite Food]]: Pieman loves bacon. So, it turns out, does his cat.
* [[Try to Fit That On A Business Card]]: Goban the Sage, Defender of Conscience, Protector of Shadow, Guardian of the Forest, Healer of the Sick, Master of the Wilds. But his preferred name is [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Red Tail the Fluffy]].
* [[Visual Pun]]: It's hard to make out, but the website header has a chemical structure in the background (clearer picture [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=151552704946989&set=pu.102136963221897&type=1&theater here]). That's the structure of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPM_(psychedelic) 2,5-dimethoxy-4-propoxyamphetamine], a psychedelic drug commonly known as MPM.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Master Swordsman|Swords]] for Shadow, [[The Gunslinger|guns]] for Brass, [[Improbable Weapon User|pies for Pieman]].
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Chip’s real name is given as ‘Chelsea’ by her vampire family. Squiggle is actually called Sana Sarif, and Brass is actually Brassun Grathe (although, in fairness, ‘Brassun’ is a bit of an odd name anyway.) However, that still leaves Shadow and Pieman the Third.
* [[Who You Gonna Call?]]: MPM
* [[Word Salad Title]]: The title of the webcomic is a holdover from the original RP thread, which was named after the two nearest items to Maria-Cells at the time – a metallic telephone and a computer mouse.
* [[World of Badass]]: The webcomic is set in this kind of world.
