{{tropelist}}
* [[A God Am I]]: Played for pure funny by Bulwark, who casually acknowledges that he is, in fact, basically a god.
** Made all the more interesting by the fact that stat-wise he is one of the most broken characters in the Oubliverse.
* [[Action Girl]]: Crusader, Rumble & Tripper
* [[Affably Evil]]: Abaddon, most of the time.
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
** According to [[Word of God]] and pretty much anyone who reads the story, he's the only one who [[Creator's Pet|she does appeal to]].
*** He's said that's just blondes in general though: Crusader, Chienne, Boson... if you happen to be a blonde girl, you're the author's pet.
* [[Author On Board]]: Taken to ridiculous extremes lately to the point where it feels like certain characters are actually being possessed just to spout the author's opinions. Any unique speech patterns mysteriously disappear, and the [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|dialogue starts to sound suspiciously like the prose.]]
* [[Badass]]: Deimos (how has he not died from any of the insanely violent fights he's been in?), Michuru [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|when he fights Apocatastasis]], the Damned {{spoiler|when he banishes Deimos to the Astral Plane JUST BEFORE he topples from wounds the Nephilim inflicted on him}}, Bulwark on a regular basis, Coldfire
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: Or rather Isaac Newton is an immortal who makes robots. [[Running Gag|And offers breadsticks to people]].
Line 94 ⟶ 91:
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: Katie comes back into Ben's life around the same time Ryan gets an armor, Chienne and Coriolis just happen to just up in time for Lodestone and Loess' wedding. If you have an enemy in New Vindicatorsland, expect them to show up when it's least convenient.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Noah Meinstein when he's not being a [[Mad Scientist]]. Which isn't often. Why is Patriot Robotics still around anyway?
* [[Crapsack World]]: Crap in heaven the Oubliverse is not a fun place to live in. Rogue Demons run rampant, having their way with the women of the world, [[Gambit Roulette|all part of a sick plan to control Hell]]. The Nephilim are for the most part total [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]], Neo-Sapiens are treated like pond scum [[Fridge Logic|despite having the power to melt faces]]. Interpersonal relationships are torn apart on a daily basis due to [[Unfortunate Implications|constant infidelity]]. It's sad that only admittedly happy and normal person with a good relationship seen so far is an expy of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Edward Elric]].
** And did I mention that the apparent equivalent of the Fallen is Drew Jenkins? In the immortal words of [[Beast Wars|Rattrap]], "we're all gonna die."
* [[Crazy Prepared]] Michuru81 himself deserves acknowledgement of this, having planned out the framework of his games to last for literally years to come.
Line 180 ⟶ 177:
* [[God]]: Elemenoh P. Quares
** Who is, incidentally, a [[Shout-Out]] to a Kender PC from D&D games long gone by.
* [[A God Am I]]: Played for pure funny by Bulwark, who casually acknowledges that he is, in fact, basically a god.
** Made all the more interesting by the fact that stat-wise he is one of the most broken characters in the Oubliverse.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Chimera, to the point where you're not sure who is who anymore.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Several examples:
Line 282 ⟶ 281:
*** [[Word of God]] states that this was done to [[True Art Is Angsty|deepen the character of Michuru]], [[Just Take Our Word For It|all off-screen of course]] and the reader will be pleased to know that Michuru doesn't have that big of a role in the series from that point onward until far later on in the series.
* [[The Thirty-Six Stratagems]]: {{spoiler|Adonis Skraag}} best used #10 but has also executed #1-3, 5-7, 9, 11, 14-15, 18-22, 25, 27-29, 31, 34 & 36.
* [[Time Travel]]: This is all a part of {{spoiler|Hikari's backstory/forwardstory}}
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Deimos
** Presently Phobos and am amnesic Abaddon
Line 319 ⟶ 318:
* [[Word of God]]: Michuru81 has a tendency to reveal entire plot arcs to those seeking (or even not seeking) spoilers.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Actually leads to one character's death as he refuses to defend himself against one of the female Nephilim.
* [[AuthorWriter Onon Board]]: Taken to ridiculous extremes lately to the point where it feels like certain characters are actually being possessed just to spout the author's opinions. Any unique speech patterns mysteriously disappear, and the [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|dialogue starts to sound suspiciously like the prose.]]
* [[Yandere]]: Rift, oh good gosh, Rift.
** Ryan Mueller is a good male example of this trope.
