* [[Three Plus Two|Four Plus Two]]: The gang starts with the four-member team [[The Leader|Frank]], [[The Lancer|Lupo]], [[The Heart|Gus]] and [[The Big Guy|Momses]].

* [[Nice Guy]]s: All of the members are shown to be nice, kind-hearted and friendly, with [[Jerkass|Victor]] being the exception.
* [[Nice Guy]]s: All members are shown to be nice, kind-hearted and friendly, the worst having a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] streak whenever they're dealing with [[Jerkass|unpleasant characters]] or [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|embarrassing families]] (like Frank and Lupo). [[Jerkass|Victor]] is pretty much the exception, and even [[Hidden Heart of Gold|he]] has his [[Pet the Dog|good moments]].

** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Victor, who is also [[The Lancer]] and [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]. In the fifth album, Henrietta and Nieve briefly join the group.
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: While Victor is generally a pain to work with, he has a severe case of [[Headbutting Heroes]] with [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]] and [[Surfer Dude|Momses]].
* [[True Companions]]: They're pretty much portrayed as this. Despite their occasional disputes, they're almost always together, and the original artwork confirms them as such.
* [[Took a Level in Kindness]]: An [[Early Installment Weirdness]] example, but the first album has Frank, Lupo, Momses and ''even'' Gus be unnecessarily nasty towards Victor and Piruja ([[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|though they were good kids deep down]]). Later albums has them becoming much nicer, the worst is them having a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] streak in [[Jerkass|understandable]] [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|situations]].
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: While this trope isn't applied to the gang itself, this is the gang's relationship with [[The Friend Nobody Likes|Victor]], since he acts like a dick towards everyone in the group. As such, only [[Dogged Nice Girl|Piruja]] likes him.
* [[True Companions]]: They're pretty much portrayed as this. Despite their occasional disputes, they're almost always together. [[Word of God|The author]] even describes them as "inseparable friends".
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: While this trope isn't applied to the gang itself, this is the gang's relationship with [[The Friend Nobody Likes|Victor]] due to his [[Jerkass|godawful personality]]. [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]] finds it difficult to work with him [[Vitriolic Best Buds|despite being his closest friend]], [[Lovable Coward|Gus]] is ambivalent at best, and [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]] and [[Lovable Jock|Momses]] hate his guts, [[Fur Against Fang|especially the former]]. The only one who honestly ''likes'' him is [[Dogged Nice Girl|Piruja]].

* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: It's very easy to get him on his nerves.

* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: Hinted at many times (when he's not being [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk|another trope]] entirely, at least). He shows concern for his family falling victims to the Porcelain Poison, helps the gang in taking down [[Big Bad|Miss Hit]] with no ulterior motives, and tries to calm Gus down when he's freaking out [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|in his own way]].

** Morty is an obvious one for Frank, being both leaders of their respective gangs and having clear influence over them, but that's when the similarities end.

** Guillotine is one for Piruja in that they're the only girls on their respective gangs, and is quite stylish like Momses.
** Mienai [[Token Good Teammate|isn't that evil to begin with]], but he can be seen as one for Gus due to their [[Adorkable]], meek personalities and attachments to their band's leaders. However, while Gus' attachment to Frank is out of [[Big Brother Worship|love and respect]]; Mienai's attachment consists of him [[Bad Boss|being abused and screwed over]] by Morty.
** Skin clearly takes after Lupo, being both gluttonous snarkers. However, Lupo's snark is [[Sarcastic Devotee|usually friendly]] and only turns hostile [[Kick the Son of a Bitch|when the target deserves it]]; while Skin is just [[Jerkass|downright nasty]] towards everyone.

  • Berserk Button: She doesn't like when someone makes fun of her paintings, even if they are genuinely terrible.
  • Blind Without'Em: It turns out this is the reason why she can't paint properly. Once she gets ones, though, she turns out to be way better than expected.
  • French Jerk: Downplayed. She's snobbish and kinda rude, but is nowhere near as a haughty Jerkass like her cousin Victor.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As stated above, she's much more pleasant and sociable than her cousin while still being arrogant and condescending.
  • Meganekko
  • Morality Pet: Victor treats her slightly better (emphasis on "slightly") than with everyone else. Also, she's the only person Quasim is outright friendly to.
  • Original Character: Was actually a fanmade character, and the author included her.
  • Stylistic Suck: Her drawings. When she's painting without glasses, though.
  • Terrible Artist: Epically subverted.
