Line 23:
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: This was intended as a side story to my main books, which I'm still in the process of writing. As such, my main characters get involved. I also throw in a [[The Cameo|cameo]] for an OC of a friend's who might or might not show up in the main continuity.
* [[The Everyman]]: Bryant started out like this. [[Character Development|Then the story happens.]]
* [[WhatFaux Do You Mean Its Not SymbolicSymbolism]]: I absolutely ''loaded'' the dream sequences with symbolism and [[Foreshadowing]]. Some of it is more blatant that other bits.
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: Bryant/Jaden and Salla. {{spoiler|The ending hints that they might be [[Relationship Upgrade|becoming more than that.]]}}
* [[Fridge Logic]]: {{spoiler|Why didn't Thanatos' homunculi use magic against the escaping [[Were Cat|werecats]]?}} [[Word of God|Answer:]] {{spoiler|Richter, the first homunculus to chase them, was a special case. Thanatos even alludes to it being semi-unique.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Thanatos ''really'' plays it up in Book Two. Jaden even [[Lampshade Hanging|comments on it.]] Also counts as an example of [[Evil Is Hammy]].
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Thanatos. He wants to be invincible, and he's sure as hell not going to let some petty thing like morality get in his way.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]: {{spoiler|One of the many things Thanatos did to Salla.}}
* [[Take That]]: To ''[[Odyssey|The Odyssey]]''. Quoth the newly-christened Jaden: "It's better than calling myself Antinous."
* [[Theme Naming]]: All of Thanatos' homunculi were going to be named after [[Castlevania]] characters, but I ran out of good ones. So I switched to [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] and [[DC Comics|DC]] comics writers. {{spoiler|Yes, [[Joe Quesada|Quesada]] gets killed brutally. Happy?}}
* {{spoiler|[[Too Dumb to Live]]: Yes, Thanatos, chug the potion you've spent so long on that looks like it's been messed with. [[Hoist by His Own Petard|See what'll happen.]] To be fair, he was already pretty mentally unstable, and just wanted to finally cheat Death.}}
* [[Volcanic Veins]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Thanatos after doing what's outlined in the above bullet. And it's not without side-effect.}}
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: I absolutely ''loaded'' the dream sequences with symbolism and [[Foreshadowing]]. Some of it is more blatant that other bits.
