{{tropelist}}
* [[Animal Motif]]: Azgrut and scorpions. His prosthetic eye has seven optics (making for a total of eight) and when he gets serious in a fight, he summons scorpion legs (complete with [[Beware My Stinger Tail|tail]]). Also, presuming he was responsible for the Demonslayer mechs, they also have a rather distinctive shape.
* [[Anti-Magic]]: Ley Stone explicitly does this.
Line 17:
* [[Barrier-Busting Blow]]: Iggy does not have very much success with walls in Ebon Creek. The demonslayer stands up to shoot over it, and Grenner just shatters the thing effortlessly. Justified in that he's working with either dried soil or mud, neither of which are particularly helpful. He implies that this happened the first time he made a wall, too.
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Santris]], [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Grenner]], and Maxwell are pretty much equals, with the as-of undefined Bartleby as an equally powerful third agent.
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Kirk.
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: The Wights, along with [[Badass Family]].
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Arrie, Cerene, and Sally.
Line 27:
* [[Body Snatcher]]: {{spoiler|Bael}} does it in an especially [[Squick|Squicky]] manner; [[Word of God]] states that {{spoiler|his}} body just goes under the host's skin and moves them around [[Puppeteer Parasite|like they're some kind of body suit.]] Chew on that mental image.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: Seems to be Arthur's M.O. He complains in a mopey tone about how everything's going wrong and then just as casually says "anyway, time to rip your soul from your living flesh."
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Some, but not others. Kirk seems to do it mainly, but Trevor does it once. Incidentally, both were using Morty at the time.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Cerene can 'prism' her personality into Red, Blue, and Grey Cerene, colored appropriately. Also, the flasback arc shows that many of the main characters' appearances have changed color from exposure to the Plague.
** Also justified with mana, explanation starting [https://web.archive.org/web/20200218023841/http://suppressioncomic.com/?
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Sally seems to swing between this and [[Blood Knight]]; puppy cute one minute and gleefully quoting Breaking Benjamin and punching out mooks the next. Though, the cute side seems only reserved for [[Bodyguard Crush|Bael]].
* [[The Corruption]]: The Plague
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Seemingly all sympathetic characters have shades of this, but especially Kirk. See that guy? The one in the spiky [[Mook]] armor with a demon following him around? He's one of the nicest, not to mention funniest, characters introduced, and the resident [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].
** Morty himself could count, as he's a red-eyed [[Extreme Omnivore]] demon, and absolutely adorable. Also? The reason he's with Kirk is because [[All There in the Manual|Kirk was in a good mood and gave him a hug when they met.]]
* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: Maxwell is killed by a [[It Makes Sense in Context|sudden falling mook]]. Arthur proceeds to [[Due to the Dead|poke his corpse with one foot]], sigh, and complain.
* [[Doing
* [[The Dragon]]: Maggie Tyburn for Bartleby.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Sally can be seen punching Kirk in the face long before he's introduced as a significant character. Arthur also mentions Bartleby offhandedly before he's introduced in the Flashback Arc.
** References to a 'Morris' have been made.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: A good number of the main cast
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Earthart Iggy
Line 47:
* [[Empathic Weapon]] / [[Equippable Ally]]: [[Our Demons Are Different|Morty]] seems to fit this role. So far he's been an arm cannon, a drill and a sword, also making him a [[Shapeshifter Weapon]].
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]: Alaster, possibly. His intentions with those [[Weapon of Choice|meat hooks]] may not be pure, but at least he seems to have his own [[Dragon with an Agenda|ideas]]...
* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]: Seems to be a racial trait of the Thal'Nasians. If you look carefully, Trevor, Arrie, and Victus have a darker band of color around the outside of their eye, making it look like their eyes are glowing. Arthur identifies Arrie as Thal'Nasian at a glance, mentioning her eyes. Azgrut also has these same eyes, as does Bartleby Hayse, and Victus states that Azgrut is "clealry Thal'Nasian".
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that demons incorporate what they eat into their anatomy. Morty's position as a weapon is probably because his diet seems to consist mostly of guns and a paper cutter.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Santris.
* [[Faceless Goons]]: [[Subverted]]- When [[Anti-Hero|Bael]] slaughters a group of [[Mooks]], Kirk proceeds to stop and give a touching euology [[Tear Jerker|"From one nobody to another"]] {{spoiler|Of course, then they turn out to be zombies...}}
* [[Five-Man Band]]: Albeit with no clearly defined hero.
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: General John Victus. It has been mentioned that he could freeze ''the entirety of Ebon Creek''.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Why would Trevor have a giant drill just lying around for him to summon? ''He's an inventor.''
Line 59:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: [[Psycho Electro|Charlie]] could almost qualify as a [[Squishy Wizard]].
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: While Bael may be helping the main characters, he's certianly not pulling any punches. [[Word of God]] even compares him to [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Jet]] in that aspect.
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: Played with, as it's shown that regenerating your body through plague powers actually furthers the infection, but people do certainly seem to walk off a lot of pretty nasty wounds. (getting your hands cut off, for example, though Charlie was [[Cluster F-Bomb|really]] not happy about that)
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: This troper very nearly ships Flashback-arc Iggy and Bael.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Iggy figured out how to use his power because he "would have killed for a wall" at the time. Kirk makes it very apparent that he has no idea what he's doing, but it doesn't seem to slow him down much.
Line 66:
* [[Instant Runes]]: Appear whenever Trevor summons his weapons. Said runes are also all over the resulting object.
* [[It's All My Fault]]: {{spoiler|Trevor}} seems to think so, concerning {{spoiler|Arrie's [[Dead Little Sister|brother]].}}
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: So far, two people show up in a white suit. Charlie sports one in the Flashback Arc, where he's completely nuts, and Bartleby, who has already shown several telltale signs of powerful dangerous villain.
* [[Lethal Harmless Powers]]: Arrie makes portals. She killed Maxwell with nothing but that and a bit of handy terminal velocity.
* [[Little Dead Riding Hood]]: Averted with Red Cerene, who is both aggressive and has some nasty looking [[Femme Fatalons|claws]]. She doesn't quite fit [[Lady in Red]], either.
Line 73:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Trevor has one blue eye and one green eye.
* [[Mook Face Turn]]: Happens off screen to Kirk when he's left for dead after a fight early in the story.
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: It's hard to believe Dr. Kolt ever actually helped people. Grenner, on the other hand, is so far the nicest introduced villain, not counting Azgrut who seems to just want to be left alone.
* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: A few characters have quite the set of gnashers, most noticably Alaster. Sally also sports these, but that's only when her temper runs unchecked (or possibly her bloodlust; she smiles with prominent fangs in an early scene after beating an entire troop of mooks.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Iggy uses his [[Dishing Out Dirt|powers]] to sculpt; later, Nick is seen using [[Playing with Fire|his]] to see better in a dark tunnel.
Line 82:
* [[Official Couple]]: Bael and Sally; Trevor and Arrie may be... [[Word of God|the alt text]] pointed out a [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] moment.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Nick may be approaching this; while Iggy, Kirk, and Trevor are pretty sane themselves, they just tend to roll with the weirdness as it goes on.
** Arrie seems to be shaping up as an Only Sane Woman for the Asylum team.
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Alaster, Gray Cerene, Merry and Arthur.
* [[Personality Powers]]: Played with; it's shown that Nick has a temper, but he's not nearly as hotheaded as the classic 'Fire person' is. Also, Sally's violent tendencies are ''because'' of her Plague infection, rather than the other way around. Charlie was [[Psycho Electro|batshit insane]] in the flashback arc, but seems to have since gained coherence if nothing else.
* [[Playing with Syringes]]: One of the [[Combat Tentacles|many]], [[Black Eyes of Evil|many]] things that makes Kolt '''really''' unnerving.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Morty is positively tiny compared to the demons we've seen so far and yet has been instrumental in killing one and wiped the smirk off of [[Nigh Invulnerable]] Jericho. Admittedly, he's been working with Kirk, but still.
* [[Power Glows]]: With in-universe explanation, see Color Coded For Your Convenience.
Line 99:
** Sally misses playing [[Silent Hill]].
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The explanation on why mana glows is very well thought-out. Also, Charlie clearly needs either a connection with his target or electricity to already be present before he can zap it- he doesn't shoot lightning.
* [[Sigil Spam]]: The logos for the [[Big Screwed-Up Family|Wight Family]] and Santris Industries, a [[Slasher Smile]] mask and a skull shaped gear respectivly, can be found everywhere. All the Wights wear some trinket with the mask on it and the [[Gas Mask Mooks]] wear both symbols.
* [[Smug Super]]: Jericho is [[Nigh Invulnerable]]. He's also a huge jerk about it.
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: Bael gets immobilized, yet his mouth still works, a fact which he takes full advantage of.
* [[The Undead]]: The Wights apparently all are... but they seem to be varying degrees of dead-ness.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Trevor's [[Weapon of Choice]].
* [[Undeathly Pallor]]: Apparently this is the main trait of the Wights. Samantha is greenish, Maxwell, Alaster, William and Jericho are gray, and Arthur just looks like a guy who could probably use a tan.
** Azgrut may well have nothing to do with the Wights, but with the huge bags under his eye and the bluish skin, he [[Looks Like Cesare]].
Line 109:
** Nick gets angry enough to spontaneously combust. Trevor nonchalantly continues the conversation and then, as an afterthought, asks him to put himself out, because he's writing on flammable paper.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Grenner just 'really' wants to cure the Plague. After seeing what it can DO to people, {{spoiler|and has already done to him}}, can you BLAME the guy?
* [[Which Me?]]: Cerene's powers include having three slightly independant bodies. She/they have a lot of trouble deciding what pronouns to use for eachother-self.
* [[White Shirt of Death]]: Flashback-arc Charlie is decked out in white when he picks a fight with Alaster and Merry; one comment even [[Genre Savvy|notes]] "you’re our man in the white suit, Charlie, time to get some stains."
* [[World of Snark]]: Almost all of the funny comes from the characters' reactions to what is otherwise a rather dark setting.
