Line 9:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: ...some scenes use gore in a skilled enough manner to give the reader a serious case of the willies. A classic example would have to be Damien Carter-Madison's death scene, where he is ''heavily'' implied to be dragged into the gates of Hell by his former classmates. It's... unnerving and frightening, to say the least.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: It's all too easy to start applying the mindsets of characters to your own classmates.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Several, although given the [[Kill 'Em All|premise]], that isn't really surprising.
* [[World of Woobie]]: For obvious reasons. Let's just say many, many characters get broken pretty quickly.
 
Line 33:
** This trope could also easily explain why Orn "Dutchy" Ayers is so popular on the board. Dutchy is an [[Funny Foreigner|Icelandic]], [[Bi the Way|free-loving]] [[Nerds Are Sexy|comic book nerd]] who watches soccer and cries [[Tender Tears]] over the plight of third-world countries among other things. Add in his in-game posts, which makes many handlers see him as [[The Woobie]], and his habit of wearing a [[Pointless Band Aid]] over his nose, and you have a character who [[Ensemble Darkhorse|most of the board adores]].
*** Which makes his mental scarring and subsequent death all that more painful.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Sarah Atwell's {{spoiler|[[Cold -Blooded Torture|slow, calculated torture]] of Eve Walker-Luther}}.
** {{spoiler|Alex White's abuse of Rosa in ''Monsters''.}}
* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: The [[Heterosexual Life Partners|broship]] of Liam "Brook" Brooks and Jason Harris is generally referred to as "Brason", while Garry Villette and Saul Fetteralf are commonly referred to as either "Garul" or "Gaul".
** [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Sarah Xu and Reiko Ishida]], who are often called "Sareiko" when mentioned together.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Jimmy Brennan and Liam "Brook" Brooks both qualify. In Jimmy's case, he was a small kid who got picked on quite a bit, and now he's '''''snapped'''''. Brook was a rather sweet guy, but after being [[Afraid of Blood|shocked with his greatest fear repeatedly]] and watching the girl he loved die in front of his very eyes, he's gone off the deep end a little.}}
