Line 29:
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Nest and Hawk Freemark.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: It's not an over-the-top example, but Nest's grandfather gets points for willingly attacking a bomb and gun-toting nutjob who'd been influenced by the demon.
** [[Hero
* [[Bad Future]]: Ross and the other Knights of the Word are working overtime to prevent one.
* [[Big Bad]]: The unnamed demon in the first book, {{spoiler|Stefanie}} in the second, and Findo Gask in the third.
Line 53:
* [[Hell Hound]]: {{spoiler|Stefanie}}, [[The Big Bad]] of ''Knight Of The Word'' has one of these are her true form.
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: O'olish Amaneh, one of the Lady's other servants, definitely gives off this vibe. It's not hard to imagine him out there contributing in ways that are every bit as important as those of Nest and Ross.
* [[Hero
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Ross}} before the beginning of ''Knight Of The Word''.
* [[Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad]]: {{spoiler|Nest}}.
* [[In the Blood]]: All the Freemark women have had the magic. There also seems to be a certain stubborn streak that shows up regardless of gender...
* [[Ill Boy]]: Jared Scott in ''Running With The Demon''.
Line 66:
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: In the first book, a boy demands a toll from anyone who crosses his street, using his dog as the threat. He tries it on the demon. The demon makes the boy smell like a rabbit and the whole affair ends very badly for the bully.
* [[Mutants]]: Ross runs into a few of these "once-men" in the future.
* [[No
* [[Not So Different]]: The demons are fond of this one.
* [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]]: Hopewell. Beyond the drinking, the strikes, the feeders, and the odd demon attack, they're right.
Line 80:
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Each book's demon is more dangerous than the last one, most pronounced with the jump from {{spoiler|Stefanie}} to Gask. Definitely [[Justified Trope|justified]] by John Ross' epic level of badassery. Most demons go around sowing general chaos and are a roughly even match for a Knight of the Word, but by the third book they figure out that for Ross they need the demon (Gask) who specializes in hunting Knights. And even ''he'' recruits two more demons to help him.
* [[The Soulless]]: All demons. They're the remains of humans who sold their souls to The Void in return for more power.
* [[Shout
* [[Ten Minute Retirement]]: Ross, for most of ''Knight of the Word'', following [[My Greatest Failure]] and a [[Heroic BSOD]].
* [[Terrible Trio]]: Gask's henchmen in ''Angel Fire East''. Unusually, all three are quite dangerous.
