* WrongGenreSavvy: Cerrit acts like he's the protagonist of a FantasticNoir story revolving about solving the mystery of what happened to Vespin Chloras. His obsession with the convention of the genre means that he fails to notice that he is actually the protagonist of {{Tragedy}} until it's too late.

* BeyondTheImpossible: In the final episode, the Ring of Brass do what even the Prime Deities were unable to do, and that is completely unmake two Primordial Titans. Of course, doing so resulted not only in the destruction of Avalir and Cathmoira, but also the entire continent of Domunas, leaving behind the Shattered Teeth of modern-day Exandria.

* AmbiguouslyBi: [[WordOfGod According to her player]], she's asked Quay to shapeshift into ''all'' of their friends for sexual purposes, which puts a bit of a spin on moments like this one:
-->'''Laerryn''': Hey, when I have to drop this [Reverse Gravity], do you wanna slap me?
-->'''Patia''': ''Hmmmmm''... talk to me in sixty seconds!

* CantArgueWithElves: She rather well embodies the problems with elves (or any long-lived being) by generally ignoring things that don’t directly affect her. This comes to a head when she completely ignores the inter party conflict around the [[spoiler:Tree of Names, and it’s her pushing into it that sets it to attack herself and Loquatious in self-defense, leading Laerryn to destroy it and kick off the Calamity.]]


Added DiffLines:

* FatalFlaw: Her apathy towards issues she seems beneath her notice, coupled with her single-minded focus on gaining knowledge, leads to disaster.

* NayTheist: None of them have much respect for the gods, and even less for those who worship them, ranging from ambivalence (Loquacious, Nydas, and Cerrit) to outright disdain and open hostility (Zerxus, Laerryn, and Patia). Patia and Laerryn in paticular are shown to believe that they've already reached a point where they are more than equal to the gods via their advanced magic.

* TotalPartyKill: They're all DoomedByCanon; this is the Calamity, after all. [[spoiler:However, it's ultimately subverted. In the encounter with Asmodeus, Laerryn manages to escape as Patia and Loquatius are killed and Nydas and Zerxus are incapacitated, and ultimately Cerrit makes it out as the SoleSurvivor after Avalir is destroyed.]]

* TheCasanova: If his fights with Laerryn are any indication, he can't help but flirt with just about anyone he finds attractive. Laerryn gets testy when Loquatious tells her to reply to his messages with a snarky, "Oh, the ones from ''Aria''?" When looking for evidence in one of his file rooms, he reminisces to Cerrit how people usually came here to have some alone time together and make out. Laerryn sarcastically says that along with keeping secrets, Loquatius can barely keep it in his pants.

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: He dies from the explosion blast, with his changeling form shifting through different faces. He also lost his magical clothes in the explosive unraveling of magic items in the Arboreal Calyx; Brennan states that his body is covered in "a thousand tiny lacerations", and Sam notes that Loquatious's penis shifting from different animal penises like a bull's, a duck's, to finally Brennan's ''face''. Zerxus manages to revivify him and bring him back, and his final death is much more dramatic.]]

* MagicKnight: Combines spell-slinging and sword-swinging in equal measure.



* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Delivers a gruesome death to Lacrytia Hollow by invoking her ''Impenetrable Bubble'' around the witch as she's unleashing a ''[[AreaOfEffect Circle of Death]]'', traping her in her own concentrated spell and [[ReducedToDust reducing her to a fuming pile of dust]].

* NayTheist: The guests at Patia's are quick to brag when Purvan Suul arrives that Zerxus's divine power as a paladin comes not from the gods, but the people of Avalir itself. As the party examines the dead cultist of Asmodeus, he loses some of his even keel and rails against the gods, saying that "when you bow to one of them, you bow to all of them."

* TragicHero: Zerxus' FatalFlaw is - like the rest of Avalir - arrogance and hubris, as he believes ''so strongly'' in his ability to see the good in others that he fails to acknowledge the possibility he is being manipulated or lied to. As noted in the post-game roundup, his laudable belief that "everyone can be redeemed" tipped over into the toxic "I can redeem anyone".
