* AxCrazy: He’s utterly crazy, and is confirmed to be insane by Ethyl.

to:

* AxCrazy: He’s an utterly crazy, crazy killer, and is confirmed to be insane by Ethyl.Ethyl. That's what a very bad concussion will do to ya.



*ConcussionsGetYouHigh: A very dramatic example. Desert always was a manipulative, nasty piece of outlaw work, but at least used to just be a SoftSpokenSadist who stopped at armed robberies. One day, however, a robbery he and Ethyl were doing went south and he hit his head against a rock hard enough to get a split personality, with the AxCrazy one often taking over, and Desert started going for a more...gratuitously murderous-y MO.



*EvilIsHammy: His crazier side is loud, morbidly energetic and, when not killing people left and right, he sings to himself and dances around (horribly).



*RedOniBlueOni:
**Due to having a split personality, one collected, cold and [[SoftSpokenSadist soft-spoken]], the other [[AxCrazy completely batshit, murderous]] and [[EvilIsHammy hammy]], he manages to be the Red Oni ''and'' the Blue Oni to '''himself'''.
**With Mika, she is obliviously the more devious and better-functioning Blue to the Red Oni of Desert's loud, maniacal side. Funnily enough, however, his collected side is kind of a Blue Oni to her instead, as he's sophisticated and at the very least has much more [[CardCarryingVillain self-awareness]] than the [[KnightTemplar delusional]] hyotl, who really expects to be seen as a hero for [[spoiler: committing genocide.]]

to:

*[[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Fire?]]: Due to a bad experience with it, Tori is '''terrified''' of fire and can barely even get close to it.




to:

*SkewedPriorities: When face-to-brand with [[AxCrazy Desert Tumbler]] and his army of hired gunmen, as well as the dozens of corpses from their latest carnage, her mind still manages to wander off to breasts. ''Desert'', [[PsychopathicManchild of all people]], finds Robin's talk of mammaries to be ridiculous, especially since he tried to make it her last words.



* AbusiveParent: She is this and MUCH more. She treats her children horribly, giving them extremely dangerous training, shouting at them 24/7, using violence constantly, and she even kills her own son by torturing him to death, while making her daughter watch. She then saws her arm off afterwards.

* ForTheEvulz: Every crime he commits is simply because he can, and he loves it. Hell, he treats his mass murdering sprees like getting an high-score in a videogame.
* LaughablyEvil: Despite being downright evil, his split personality leads to some pretty hilarious dialogue.

to:

*EveryoneHasStandards: He is aptly defined by Ethyl as "crazy as popcorn on flamin' hot stove", but even Desert finds Robin's priorities to be [[SkewedPriorities pretty skewed]] as she begins going off about breasts even if she should be focusing on the gang of psychopathic gunmen right in front of her.
*EvilIsAngular: Villains seldom gets more angular than this: on top of his spikey head-shape, his brand is straight-up a triangle.

*InsultBackfire: A CardCarryingVillain like him will obviously take YouMonster remarks in stride. When a disgusted Nightheart calls his latest carnage vile, Desert thanks him.
* LaughablyEvil: Despite being downright evil, his split personality leads to some pretty hilarious dialogue.



* PsychopathicManchild: A cartoonishly CardCarryingVillain who will murder hundreds and be delighted for getting "a new highscore", it's very clear that something is very wrong with Desert, and he knows and revels in it with child-like glee.

*FiendishFish: The biggest [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] you could find, being probably the most completely heroic character in the story and being the polar opposite of those sadly numerous [[FishPeople hylotl]] who look down on other races, as he is a passionate learner who wants the galaxy to be peaceful and egalitarian.



*LovableNerd: He's a huge fan of both other cultures and anime, as well as slightly socially inept, and it all makes him even more endearing when paired with him being heroic and kind.




to:

*NoSocialSkills: Downplayed, as he can still hold a normal conversation and make friends fast, but he has some moments, such as when he first met Tori and bombarded her with 5 minutes of questions...and then asked her name. She and everyone else, of course, don't mind since he is [[NiceGuy that good a guy]].
