Line 34:
* {{spoiler|Deus ex Machina : Literaly}}
* [[Fuel Meter of Power]] - Karl. It's implied that the living constructs from the Castle of Nations suffer from this when they leave the park.
* [["Hey You!" Haymaker]] - A variation: Murphy, thanks to his encounter with the contestant whose spot he took, thinks this is the proper way to say hello in Taitle. The open-minded robot is perfectly happy to bow to local custom, which causes him some difficulty in the beginning.
* [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold]] - "Josh has led a shit life, and he wants to do one good thing to make up for it."
* [[Instant Sedation]] - On of Rellik's more... interesting powers. Using the mild sedative in his saliva he subdued Kit Bates for his victory.
Line 57:
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] - The Professor, ''especially'' in the finale, in which they're [[Red Eyes Take Warning|red]].
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] - Steffi and Ben.
* [[Shell
* [[Slasher Smile]] - Karl
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]] - Zeurel (Spoiler) famously threw two temper tantrums over the course of the tournament. The second is the more well known, after he lost to ConcentrationMoon (Chimbley) in the second round; he ranted that inviting him had been a farce since the tournament was clearly rigged, or else he wouldn't have lost to such an "inferior artist". This was a [[Moral Event Horizon]] for some people; the stakes in an [[Original Character Tournament|OCT]] are so low that to react that badly to losing at any stage of the game is like beating up a six-year-old because they won a popsicle playing Guess The Number. (Though to be fair, the contest has been accepted as having been rigged by many of the followers and fans, and several contestants have confirmed this fact.)
* [[Steampunk]] - Played pretty straight with the city of Taitle. It's got clockworks and everything.
* [[Street Urchin]] - Chimbley Sweep
** Kit Bates
* [[Super
* [[Talking Appliance Sidekick]] - The Intelligent Bombs of the Vampwolves. Since nether Greg or Renfield can talk it's up to the bombs to supply all their dialog.
* [[Talking to Themself]] - Mizuno, much the confusion of those around him.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] - Delivered to Karl by Rellik on the emptiness of Karl's life.
* [[Tournament Arc]] - Every character in the tournament is competing for a free wish.
* [[Twitchy Eye]] - Karl has this tic, though it gets gradually more frequent as the tournament goes on.
* [[Villain Protagonist]] - Karl, Lilith, The Vampwolves dominated the early parts of the contest but in the end only Karl was able to make it.
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]] - In Spoiler's backstory: He was in a car accident which caused him to lose most of his body, and his brother to lose his completely.
* [[What Could Have Been]] - Due to the nature of [[Original Character Tournament|OCTs]] to adopt only the canon of winning entries, a lot of potentially intriguing content will naturally be lost. For example, [[Well
* [[Wrench Wench]] - Steffi is this, even at the age of fourteen.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Several of he contestants have technicolor hair. Teal/green and pink appear to be popular.
