{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Strata''': Why don't you contemplate what's just taken place here while I go make some money at the races. Later, blue boy.}}
{{spoiler|'''Rhue''': Why don't you contemplate what's just taken place here while I go after Gaius. Later, loser.}} }}
* [[Irrational Hatred]]: Inspecting the mirrors that can be found in most houses reveal that Rhue begins the game disliking them, and hates them more and more as you progress through the story. This, despite the fact that mirrors serve no role in the story whatsoever. {{spoiler|The mirrors reflect him correctly, and he's not who he thinks he is.}} ▼
* [[Jerkass]]: Strata, and possibly Rhue if you play him that way.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Rhue, [[Villain Protagonist|before episode five.]] He is very bitter and doesn't have very many friends, but it's implied he cares very deeply for the friends he does have.
* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: Many characters, but notably {{spoiler|Rhue after killing Lexus and Lyrra after Strata breaks up with her.}}
▲* [[Irrational Hatred]]: Inspecting the mirrors that can be found in most houses reveal that Rhue begins the game disliking them, and hates them more and more as you progress through the story. This, despite the fact that mirrors serve no role in the story whatsoever. {{spoiler|The mirrors reflect him correctly, and he's not who he thinks he is.}}
* [[Kill'Em All]]: {{spoiler|In Episode 5, the casualties are: Slade, Lyrra, Cetsa, Alan (you can see his disembered legs poking out of a bush), Sacrifa, Entrego (presumably), and an entire city of innocent people, inculding children.}}
* [[Kill the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|Poor Lyrra and Lexus.}}
Line 179:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Lord Below and the Phantom Slasher. The Blood Lyn also count.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: In an Episode 6 sidequest, you have to beat up a guy to make him squeal some valuable information.
* [[Not Good with People]]: Being {{spoiler|knocked into a hole by her own brother}} and living alone hasn't done much for Scatha's social skills, but she's perfectly fine talking with monsters.▼
* [[No Stat Atrophy]]: As is commons in [[RPGs]], Rhue's skills keep increasing through the game.
▲* [[Not Good with People]]: Being {{spoiler|knocked into a hole by her own brother}} and living alone hasn't done much for Scatha's social skills, but she's perfectly fine talking with monsters.
* [[One-Man Army]]: {{spoiler|Traziun kills a fortress of Blood Lyn by himself.}}
* [[One of These Doors Is Not Like the Other]]: The end of the forest in Episode 5.
Line 198:
* [[Protagonist Journey to Villain]]: Even if Rhue's goal is somehow noble, ''only'' caring about that at the expense of anything - or anybody - else isn't good for his morality in the long run.
* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: {{spoiler|In what appears to be the canon ending, Rhue finds out about Serena. But he realizes he is just a fabrication of the mind of others and has lost pretty much everyone he has ever cared for (well, except Kloe, if you have enough of a friendship rating with her.)}}
*
* [[Relationship Values]]: They're invisible, and most of them don't matter - some affect the dialogue, while others were created early on only to never be put to any real use.
* [[Retraux]]: The game uses Super Nintendo style graphics and MIDI music.▼
* [[Retcon]]: Kind of a subversion, in that instead of having later episodes contradict information from earlier ones, Lun went back and edited the episode in question. Examples include how the headhunter in Episode 1 used be looking for Gaius instead of Jeruh, and Slade reacting a lot differently at the mention of Serena's name in Episode 5.
▲* [[Retraux]]: The game uses Super Nintendo style graphics and MIDI music.
* [[Romance Sidequest]]: {{spoiler|The date in Episode Six.}}
* [[Rule of Cool]]: {{spoiler|Having control of Traziun's storm through the fortress was really pretty pointless, you could have just shown him killing them all. It was mostly there just to show how Traziun is Awesome Incarnate.}}
Line 211:
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Every word out of Alan's mouth.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: While it wasn't a war, the Landorin Massacre screwed Rhue up pretty bad.
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: One of the possible endings.▼
* [[Shout-Out]]: On a bookshelf in Episode 6 you can find another [[Game Maker|RPG Maker]] game, ThreeTheHardWay.
** There are lots in the bookshelves, including refrencing his old band, Phlounder, and Crestfallen.
* [[Shout-Out Theme Naming]]: The Charlatans of Justice in Episode 6 are named after members of the Crestfallen forums.
▲* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: One of the possible endings.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: When {{spoiler|Rhue killes Jeruh.}}
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Leaning far toward cynicism.
Line 240:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: The aforementioned beating.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]:
**
**
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Rhue after Episode 4, depending on [[Alternate Character Interpretation|your interpretation.]]
* [[Violation of Common Sense]]: Being a bad thief and acting like a complete [[Jerkass]] during the party in Episode 6, which leads to getting the worst courtroom result with no notch item rewards, is the only way to trigger an external event that gives the player a certain notch item that allows access to a hidden skill.
* [[Volleying Insults]]: {{spoiler|Rhue's and Slade's plunge. Damn, [[Deadpan Snarker|Slade can trash talk.]] }}▼
* [[The Voiceless]]: The Phantom Slasher.
▲* [[Volleying Insults]]: {{spoiler|Rhue's and Slade's plunge. Damn, [[Deadpan Snarker|Slade can trash talk.]] }}
* [[Walking the Earth]]: Everyone, pretty much. It's considered blasphemous to settle down.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Characters often say this about Rhue, but a notable example is {{spoiler|Strata confronting Rhue and calling him a [[Complete Monster]] for killing Lyrra after she went crazy. Of course, Rhue did it in self-defense, but he didn't exactly seem broken up about it...}}
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|The Phantom Slasher}} wants Rhue to find Serena. His actions are... extreme.
