* ClosetGeek: She's actually a huge fan of a D&D pastiche called [[MagicAmpersand Sapients & Strongholds]], but she does her best to keep anyone from finding out.

* KillerGameMaster: As revealed in the first mini, ''Rough Start'', her desire to "win the game" made her a less than pleasant GameMaster for [[MagicAmpersand Sapients & Strongholds]] back when she started a group for it in High School. She got better, as it was mostly inexperience. That said, in mini #9, when they enter one room, she goes into a lavish description of the chamber... and then doesn't mention the ''giant dragon'' sleeping in the center of it until Mike makes a perception check.

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* ParentalSubstitute: Although not nearly old enough to be their dad, and in fact younger than some of them, Fred has sort of taken on this role in regards to the others in the complex. Mike is able to keep the members of 87-A on the straight-and-narrow in regards to cleaning by threatening to tell Fred on them, for example. And then there's his [[OverprotectiveDad reaction]] when Mike jokes about making out with Bonnie.

* AmbiguousGender: Very feminine, but never given a specific gender, and [[GenderNeutralWriting referred to only by name or as "the fox"]] (not "the vixen", as Mango is). Even in the saucy drawings done by Weaver, never shown from the front in any identifying way. Mike doesn't seem to notice or care very often.

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: She suffers from some unidentifiable mental illness, causing her to rely on a variety of medications. Given that she's had some sort of experience at Jeremy Human's it may be PTSD-related.



* AmbiguousDisorder: Very child-like and naive in personality and has difficulty reading social cues and understanding idioms.

* HarmlessVillain: Much like [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Hamburglar or Captain Crook]] this was his role. He'd swipe jewelry and food from patrons, then get "arrested" by another humanitronic and forced to give them back along with extra tokens and prizes. [[UnfortunateImplications Mike is rather peeved to hear about this]].

* {{Stereotype}}: Lampshaded by Mike InUniverse, who grumbles to himself about the obvious 90s Afro-American "gangsta" stereotype being used for Darky, although he grudgingly concedes that in a universe where humans don't exist, the natives obviously wouldn't understand why Darky is such an unpleasant caricature.

Up To Eleven is being dewicked.


* YourCostumeNeedsWork: To his bemusement, he gets told this at Humiecon in chapter 43, where a gorilla named Wilson Munch asserts that "real" humans should have tails – admittedly, a nearby donkey gets into a short argument about this claim. Taken UpToEleven when he fails to even place ''third'' in the "Most Realistic Human" contest, to the outrage of every single attendant there.

* BigBadWannabe: His main universe counterpart, [[BigBad William Afton]], was a serial killing genius inventor who took a grand total of ''six games'' to finally bring to justice. [[spoiler: Kilroy, by comparison, dies like a chump off-screen without ever interacting with the cast.]]

* {{Otaku}}: Although she's also a fitness freak, Bonbon is obsessed with humie animation, which is clearly an in-universe analogue to Japanese animation. To heighten the resemblance, she even fits the classic otaku model of [[SubbingVsDubbing subtitle elitism]], although she's not arrogant enough about subbing's superiority as to detract from her likability.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: His name is a racial slur for black people and his entire intended character is a caricature of African American "gangsta" stereotypes. The only reason he qualifies for this is the fact that said stereotypes don't exist InUnverse due to being in a reality where humans don't exist. Mike even [[LampshadeHanging comments on the fact]] that the inhabitants of the Roommates-verse wouldn't understand what they did was offensive.

* DecompositeCharacter: Like Chichi, she's based on specific aspects of the Original Chica, or at least "Weaver Chica". Specifically, Cheeky is based on the presentation of "Weaver Chica" as a food-loving PartyGirl whose hedonistic traits have left their impact on her waistline, but haven't diminished her vitality or zest for life, which itself comes from Original Chica's "let's eat!" bib, rounded appearance, and the comments about Toy Chica's redesign being prompted by fears that Original Chica could be seen as supporting obesity.
