Enjoy this sneak preview of tropes and ideas here!

* [[Action Bomb]]: [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/whumpling.htm A] [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/whumplet.htm fair] [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/whumplord.htm# few].
* [[Adorable Abomination]]: Played straight in general terms, but inverted in how it's
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Played with in several ways. {{spoiler|ARE is, in fact, actually clinically insane. It's developed Multiple Personality Disorder, both from its isolation and from having its heart broken. However, ARE is also absolutely smitten with humanity, and would have been a willing servant of its creators had they lived. The hell the world went through, however, has somewhated... twisted the computer's goals.}}
** {{spoiler|Further, ARE has discovered that its own AI is a crapshoot, as several of its Celestial Engines have developed odd quirks that ARE finds really weird, ranging from the merely weird- Engines assigning genders to themselves- to the worrisome- like survivor guilt.}}
Line 51:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Some of the monsters are named like this, and so are some of the chapters.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Used in two ways, one straight, one a variant. Wreathe uses the straight variant, hating all non-humans. Mortasheen, meanwhile, is non-racist- racism being a hilariously inappropriate concept in a city where people change bodies like others change clothes- but they do hate Engineers, whose use of computers and cybernetics makes them seem too close to Wreathe for most people to be comfortable with them.
** Well, Mortasheen ''does'' tend to look down on ordinary, living
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Medama is Japan, past, present, and future; samurai borg and dueling sit alongside giant robots and other modern conveniences. Otherwise averted; Wreathe, while it resembles many future dystopia/utopia societies, has no direct analogue in the real world, and Mortasheen is even more out there. Cannontown, if you ''really'' stretched it, could be based on American militarism, but are more actively based on survivalist types. [[Crapsack World|Considering where they live, survivalism is not a bad strategy.]]
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Not only do they exist, they happen every day to lots of undeserving people- but don't worry about that, it's just how it goes! (skipping noises)
