* FantasticRacism: Erving apparently [[Technophobia had a low opinion of robots and AIs]], and C.Y.D. was sadly not exempt from it. Supposedly, he would often claim that one should "never send a robot to a do a man's job", within earshot of C.Y.D. He also allegedly claimed that robots were only smart when it came to taking lives, but "dumb as hell" when it came to saving them.

* GreenAndMean: Downplayed. His [[spoiler: suit, the "Aegis Wellspring", which Rei inherits after finding all of his Voidrunner caches,]] is green, and while Erving is clearly not evil, he's still kind of a {{Jerkass}} when it comes to respecting and recognizing robots and AIs as people.

* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: While he wore his robotphobia on his sleeve with no care as to how it made C.Y.D. feel, the latter nonetheless feels that he was a good man who meant well.

* {{Technophobia}}: Aside from his dislike of robots, he was also mistrustful of voidtech as well.

* SkunkStripe: The "Engine Robber" suit gives her one.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Unfortunately proves to have misplaced faith in both the four away teams that he sends to search for the First Citizen ''and'' [[spoiler: the First Citizen himself.]]
* InsaneAdmiral: The destruction of Cyclodorea and his experiences in the Ultravoid have damaged his sanity. [[spoiler:After the deaths of his men and discovering Pertinax' true nature, Ames is left so devastated he nearly goes insane.]]

* BlueIsHeroic: Based on blue being the main color that makes up her suit, which Rei inherits from her by collecting all her Voidrunner caches, Tufte applies.

* SleepDeprivation: The root cause of the Argulus Squad's demise, as evidenced by the squad leader barely being able to get through her/their field report without yawning near constantly. After searching for the First Citizen for two days with no sleep, the squad came across an huge industrial grade signal scanner. Upon discovery, the squad leader foolishly decides that she/they and her/their squad have to get it running somehow, despite the rest of the squad making it clear that they're too drowsy to work on it. Hence their crushed carcasses...

* SleepDeprivation: The root cause of the Argulus Squad's demise while they were trying to get an industrial grade signal scanner operational, as evidenced the squad leader barely being able to get through his/their field report without yawning.

* SleepDeprivation: The root cause for the demise of the Argulus Squad.

* AcidPool: The Lernaea Squad meets their end this way.

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Rei in her Wretched form is the final boss of the game, faced only if Rei destroys the Starseed and ends the cycle.]]

-->'''Rei:'''[[spoiler:I want it done. That's an order.]]
-->'''Cyd:'''Very well... [[spoiler:Beginning Starseed Attunement Protocol. Processing Photon Amplitude Assessment... Assessment Complete. Processing Temporal Condition Assessment... ''Process-ng Temp---l C-nd--ti--s Asse---- P-p-p-p-r-r-r...]]

-->'''Cyd:'''[[spoiler:CRITICAL SYSTEMS OFFLINE. TERMINAL CALCULATION LOOP. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.]]

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Like [[spoiler: all the other Remnants she encounters in the game, Rei is gigantic in her Remnant form, "Wretched Rei".]]

* WarIsHell: This notion is surprisingly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in his first Voidrunner log. As mentioned above, he mentions having fought in three planetary wars and (presumably during those wars) seeings whole cities brought down by "fire from the sky". However, he then goes on to say that what he saw during those wars was all ''kids' stuff'' compared to what's at stake with the Voidrunners' mission to activate the Starseed. [[spoiler: To be fair, the end of the game seems to prove him right.]]
