Line 20:
* [[Crapsack World]]: The Organization's Earth (aside from a few tiny pockets of territory that they don't deem worthwhile) makes the colony worlds—no matter how rough and dangerous—look [[Ghibli Hills|positively idyllic]] by contrast.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Samella is a [[Reluctant Warrior|surprisingly]] dirty fighter. Sometimes [[A Handful for An Eye|literally]] so, no less.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Cord may be a [[Charles Atlas Superpower|physical powerhouse]], but he's no match for someone with extensive combat training. {{spoiler|Good thing Samella was able to find the spare batteries for the [[RayGunRay Gun|laserifle]].}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Seems to be one of Rontal's main personality traits.
* [[Determinator]]: Cord, full-stop. {{spoiler|At the end of ''Caves'', the government killer Warreck [[Not Quite Dead|turns out to be one as well]].}}
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Samella inverts this by being [[The Smart Guy]] of the group.
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: HelethHeleth—a has[[Stealth Expert]] with [[Super Senses]] who's lived underground most of her life—has black hair and a complexion that's compared in ''Exiles'' to "mushrooms grown in darkness." (She's rather badly [[Embarrassingly Painful Sunburn|sunburnt]] by ''Caves''.) ''And'' she's got [[Facial Markings|facial tattoos]].
* [[Egopolis]]: Inverted at the end of ''Rebellion''. {{spoiler|It's the ''rest'' of the kids—at Cord's suggestion—who want to name the newly-discovered world after Samella}}.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: The Organization's equivalent of a police force, the Civil Defenders, have an elite branch who are better armed and are touted as having extensive combat training. They're called Crushers, and are frequent antagonists in the second and third novels. Elite paramilitary police, regularly beaten by street gang members—[[Sarcasm Mode|money well invested]]!
