Line 13:
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Karmen Kons who's also {{spoiler|Estella Erith.}}
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]; although the word "love" isn't used Attelus to Elandria:
{{quote| "Because Elandria," I sighed, "I don't want you to die, it's because I know what you have been through."<br />
I paused trying to swallow back the lump in my throat, "and I know that you never had any choice in the matter, no choice to be what you wanted to be, to do what you wanted to do. That-that any real choice in your life was stolen from you when you were so young a-and you didn't deserve that Elandria, no one does, I-I want you to live so you could one day have your own life to escape this crap, to, to."<br />
My left hand clenched into a tight ball while the right gripped my sword's hilt all the harder, "and that maybe in your new life that I'd be able to be part of it, that I'd like be by your side to help you through I-I." }}
* [[Author Appeal]]; There seems to be allot of effort to detail the faces of each female character.
* [[Badass Boast]]; could be this or Narm but Attelus says this before the fire fight with the as yet unnamed man;
{{quote| "Well either way your fighting me now and either way you are going to pay the consequences!"}}
* [[Ascended Meme]]; an in-universe one after the as yet unnamed captured throne agent refers to himself as [[The Princess Bride (film)|"No one of Consequence"]] Attelus, Karmen Kons and even Darrance refer him so.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]; Between Attelus and Elandria, [[Lampshaded]] buy Darrance and even earlier by Garrakson.
Line 27:
* [[Bishounen]]; Darrance.
* [[Bond One-Liner]]; After shooting a mook through the head Attelus says and also as a shout out to;
{{quote| [[Dragon Age|"Shame about the face."]]}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] {{spoiler|the first time Attelus does it is when Taryst's psykers attack the Twilight Bar while Attelus and Elandria are trying to infiltrate it which also may count as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for him}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|I don't know if you had thought I had forgotten about Taryst's little psyker cadre or you had forgotten, but this, this I had actually seen coming this I knew was coming, yes.}}}}
* [[Career Killers]]
* [[The Casanova]]: Olinthre implied by Attelus although {{spoiler|he doesn't live long enough to show it.}}
Line 52:
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]; Feuilt is Taryst's medicae, Glaitis' spy and also Edracian's agent, epic triple agent}}
* [[This Is Sparta]];
{{quote| Attelus: "Do. You. Have. Any idea the crap. I have been through to find you!"}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]; Castella Lethe, Glaitis has a few too.
** Vex, the Mimic, No One of Consequence, Torris, practically everyone.
Line 90:
* [[Large Ham]]; Taryst, just Taryst.
** And now Torris as [[Lampshaded]] by Garrakson
{{quote| “Yeah, yeah keep it down Tor,” said Garrakson, “by the Emperor I swear you and Taryst should have a competition to see which of you can chew more scenery.”}}
** And now Inquisitor Edracian who is also quite [[Axe Crazy|unhinged]] as well.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Castella Lethe is hinted to be this to Attelus {{spoiler|that her ruthless beating of No One Of Consequence was in revenge for him setting the Arco Flagellent on Attelus at the Twilight Bar. Of course when Attelus sees this he misinterprets it completely.}}
Line 124:
** When in a particularly devious mood Attelus uses the [[Verbal Tic]], [[Beast Wars|Yesss]].
** another along with the [[Take That]] to Twilight.
{{quote| Attelus; [[Bum Reviews|Pretentious, I can almost smell the pretentiousness in the air]].}}
** One conversation between Elandria and Attelus goes like this.
{{quote| Attelus; No it means what it means “some semblance,” I’ll think of something, I’ m…Adaptable. <br />
Elandria; [[Uncharted Drakes Fortune|Adaptable? Is that what you are calling it now?]] }}
** "Some semblance" is also a line used allot by [[The Spoony Experiment|the Spoony one.]]
** In the latest part Attelus is ambushed by a group of well dressed axe wielding [[Mooks]] [[Kung Fu Hustle|sound familiar?]]
** and this exchange of dialogue earlier
{{quote| '''Attelus:''' “well that's anti climactic, who the hell are you anyway?”<br />
'''Man With No Name:''' “No one of consequence.”<br />
'''Attelus:''' “I must know.”<br />
'''Man With No Name:''' [[The Princess Bride (film)|“Get used to dissapointment.”]]<br />
'''Attelus:''' “Hmm, okay.” }}
Line 143:
* [[Smug Snake]]: The Mimic, is this to an extreme, although he/she/it is more effective than the average [[Smug Snake]], {{spoiler|shown after the [[Curb Stomp Battle|utter beating]] it dealt to Attelus}}
* [[Stealth Insult]]: a backhanded compliment to Attelus from Olinthre goes like this;
{{quote| "Tathe was his name and he actually had a son working inside the regiment as a commissar, apparently his father forced him into the scolar progneium when he was young. Delan Tathe was his name he was an arrogant little punk, but very skilled with a blade, you kind of remind me of him actually."}}
** Subverted, as Attelus quickly realises that it's this trope and Olinthre didn't seem to do it on purpose.
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: {{spoiler|After Attelus gets almost every bone in his body shattered he manages to survive, but this is also invoked by a case of; [[A Wizard Did It|A psyker did it]]}}
