* ButtMonkey: He crashes cars so much that it's his Banzai alias, with the Western arc revealing that he's AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices. Molly also manages to use her Epithet to sic Ben on him during the Museum arc. ''Prison of Plastic'''s Kickstarter page even describes him as "the unluckiest of Giovanni's minions".

* AmbiguousSituation: [[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189712070212/sorry-if-youve-already-been-asked-this-before#notes Jello]] has stated that ''if'' any of Giovanni's boys have an Epithet, it'd be him, and it'd be "Binary" ''if'' he had one. The ambiguous part is that Jello never concretely says that he has an Epithet, rather he suggests that he ''might'' have one. ''Prison of Plastic'''s Kickstarter page lampshades this by describing him as "the most mysterious of Giovanni's minions".

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The name of his (potential) Epithet lines up perfectly with a second copy of him popping up behind Crusher when Percy unveils her real ass, goddamn sword. That said, it's still up in the air whether or not he does have an Epithet and as such it's not clear where the other Dark Star came from.

* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Anime Campaign'', his Epithet Bluster had a proficiency slightly less than 20 (around 3 to 4 stars) and let him do things like create winds strong enough to throw people around the room or blow up and deflate like a balloon. In ''Epithet Erased'', his proficiency with his Epithet was weakened to one star to showcase his incompetence.
* BlowYouAway: His Epithet is supposedly this, but really it's so weak that it's pretty much useless.

* PoliceAreUseless: [[ExaggeratedTrope Unbelievably so]]. He hands out free guns to visitors and seems genuinely surprised when Percy describes ''solving crimes'' as part of his job. Ramsey claims that the ''only'' reason he got the job was the fact that, lame as his Epithet is, he's the only person in town who ''has'' one. Ramsey even chose Redwood Run to turn himself in specifically because being in his jail cell is more like staying in a hotel, which he could easily escape if needed.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: His Epithet actually has [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower decent potential to be powerful]] with a little creative interpretation of "bluster", but his utter ''lack'' of creativity and him being rather ditzy means he only uses it to blow a donut off a table.
* SuperBreath: This is how he applies his Epithet, but he can only do it strongly enough to ''barely'' push a donut off a table. His total lack of willpower or creativity stifles any applications his Epithet might otherwise have.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His favorite snack is honey, usually drenched over a hexagonal screw. He beams whenever he talks about it.
* TranquilFury: When the Banzai Jennifers shoot the building he'd been fixing (after he specifically asked to be left out of the confrontation), he grows angry enough that [[HighPressureEmotion steam starts rising off him like a cloud]] but never raises his voice above a terse growl.

** In ''Prison of Plastic'', everyone is frustrated by his antics, with him being the only one who thinks his habit of never remembering Phoenica or Trixie's names is funny. Naven is described as "[wanting] to die" while interacting with Martin and has even called child protection services on him at least once. [[spoiler: Giovanni ends up hitting him over the head with a bat and declaring Martin to be his greatest nemesis. When Molly hears about this as Giovanni "kidnaps" her, she's more amused than concerned that Giovanni hit her dad.]]
* HateSink: He's an annoying, lazy, and neglectful ManChild that forces his preteen daughter to do his responsibilities, and is generally uncaring about her well-being.

* LaserGuidedKarma: After two years of neglecting and mistreating Molly, he eventually gets his comeuppance when Giovanni calls him out on his lousy behaviour before smacking him upside the head with his bat and later taking Molly away from him (seemingly for good).
* ManChild: He acts no better than the children he's chaperoning. He even asks Molly for her phone just so he can play an obnoxiously loud video game on it while he's supposed to be supervising. His irresponsibility has also lead to his family being barely above the poverty line, despite being the owner of a semi-successful toy store.

Added DiffLines:

* HatedByAll: Martin Blyndeff is pretty much despised by everyone he either meets or interacts with because of his irresponsible behavior as a selfish man-child, with even his own children growing to despise him.
** According to the EyeCatch, the teachers draw lots for [=PTA=] meetings, and he's the short straw. This heavily implies that Martin is unpopular with teachers and fellow parents at his daughter's schools, "Prison of Plastic" confirms that one of his daughter's teachers dislikes him for his irresponsible behavior and calls Social Security on him for concern for his younger daughter.
** In "Prison of Plastic," everyone is frustrated by his antics, with him being the only one who thinks his habit of never remembering Phoenica or Trixie's names is funny. Naven is described as "[wanting] to die" while interacting with Martin and has even called child protection services on him at least once. [[spoiler: Giovanni ends up hitting him over the head with a bat and declaring Martin to be his greatest nemesis. When Molly hears about this as Giovanni "kidnaps" her, she's more amused than concerned that Giovanni hit her dad.]]
** Both of Martin's daughters, Molly and Lorelai, grow to despise him as well; it was heavily implied that he was much closer to them and a much better parent when his wife was alive, but after her death and him pretty much ignoring it and his selfishness and immaturity growing worse this caused his relationship with his daughters to deteriorate.
*** Molly gets the brunt of his selfishness with her having to work in the family toy store at night because he was not willing to do any work after his wife died, with Molly being overworked and underfed because he is unwilling to be in a responsible adult and dad towards her. He would often put pressure on her to work at the shop and would talk out of doing his shift at the store by justifying it by saying that he had punched his parent's card. At his best, he embarrasses his daughter with unwanted attention with his embarrassing behavior; at his worst, he has no care for his daughter's well-being once forgetting about her on a school field trip he was chaperoning. While Molly does not have a deep hatred for her father, it is clear that whatever love and positive feelings she had for her father in the past are now gone, and it should be noted that while at first Molly wanted to reconnect with her sister Lorelai, she never wanted to reconnect with him.
*** At first glance, Martin and Lorelai seem to have a strong father-daughter bond mainly because of the negative traits they share. Both ignore the death of Martin's wife and Lorelai's mother, Calliope; both are selfish, immature, and uncaring about how their behaviors affect others. And it appears that Martin favors Lorelai over Molly. However, it is shown that even Lorelai is not immune to suffering from Martin's selfishness, and even she can be shocked by his behavior. First, it was demonstrated that Martin has no concern for Lorelai's feelings and would break her creations while justifying them by saying that they will disappear anyway, not caring that he hurt his daughter's feelings. Later it was shown that Lorelai is shocked at how casual he is with his wife's death being mentioned to the point where she's afraid that he forgot about his wife.

Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife. Check Martin's folder.

Added DiffLines:

* FoolishHusbandResponsibleWife: Played absolutely straight to extremes. Martin is an absolute ManChild that is more interested in playing games than chaperones, doesn't notice his daughter is missing ''even when he has her phone,'' and treasured a castle diorama more than her. Calliope, on the other hand, was an insanely controlling workaholic that planned her daughters' lives in advance.

While not as bad with Lorelai, he doesn't see her creations in the bubble as actual beings and happily breaks them with no regard to how she'd feel over it. He justifies it by saying her creations will disappear anyway and are only for aesthetic, so there's no real harm done.



** In ''Prison of Plastic'', everyone is frustrated by his antics, with him being the only one who thinks his habit of never remembering Phoenica or Trixie's names is funny. Naven is described as "[wanting] to die" while interacting with Martin and has even called child protection services on him at least once.

When Molly hears about this as Giovanni "kidnaps" her, she's more amused than concerned that Giovanni hit her dad.]]
