* ContinuityNod: One of Badrock's (from ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}) kids shows up as a [[BabyPlanet small planet]].
** In the latter half of the series a number of ComicBook/{{Youngblood}} characters have appeared, all in radically different form. Suprema [[spoiler: is a being of pure light living inside a seashell planet]]. Supreme [[spoiler: is dead and is used as a power source for the woman army]]. Troll is an enigmatic mystical figure guiding certain Prophets. Diehard is of course a main character and is at one point given an orb with an image of the original Youngblood team.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Subverted, [[ComicBook/{{Youngblood}} Diehard]] is a recurring character and by this point of time all of his organic components are long gone; he's part of the [[TheAlliance Rebel Alliance]] and a sympathetic character. Other robotic and cyborg characters are shown helping the protagonists.

Cloning Blues renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.


* CloningBlues: Subverted, while the main cast are all clones of John Prophet, there is very little angst about this. In fact, in the the comic's bizarre and alien world, the prophets cling to their "brothers",

* AllThereInTheManual: Subverted – lots of technical info (such as cutaways of structures and labels identifying specific technologies) is inserted directly into the art, without interrupting the actual plot or dialogue. It's largely justified because of just how complex the universe of ''Prophet'' is.

Five Man Band is undergoing a wick-cleaning project, so zero-context examples, as well as roles with little to no context, will be deleted.

** TheLeader: Old Man Prophet
** TheLancer: Diehard
** TheBigGuy: Jaxson
** TheSmartGuy: Hiyonhoiagn
** TheChick: Rein-East
** The Newfather has a similar structure with his Prophet Arch. Made more interesting since all members are actually clones of the same person.

* {{Adorkable}}: Rein-East may be a cold-blooded assassin, but she's also quite unaccustomed to galactic adventuring. She spends most of her time with Old Man Prophet gawking at her fantastic surroundings.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: It's a band of rebels who are perfectly willing to kill and destroy in their quest, going up against a genocidal, xenocidal, brainwash-happy BioPunk [[TheEmpire Empire.]] That said, some of the people on the Earth Empire's side (such as Brother John Ka) are quite grey as well.

* AmazonBrigade: The Babel-Horolegion, also known as the Woman Armada, a spaceborne migratory war fleet of all-female transhuman cyborgs.



* BecomeARealBoy: Diehard is a complicated example. He originally ''was'' a biological human, but 10000 years spent replacing lost body parts with cyborg implants eventually left him as a full robot, with none of his original human flesh. His angst could be best summed up as "Become A Real Boy ''Again''".



* BoldlyComing: Old Man Prophet's backstory involves a relationship with a [[LizardFolk Scale]] called Yilala.

** When the grandfather John Prophet awakes, he is referred to by a variety of impressive names.
-->"Friend of the Scale, The Unkillable Knife, The Wave Crester, The Spiral Jumper. The Lord of the Wolf-Rayet Star. The Old Man, Great Grey Grandfather Jonathan Prophet has awoken."



* OppositeSexClone: A few of the John clones introduced so far have been biologically female. However, they still have a similar facial structure to the male clones, and are referred to as "brothers" even though they use female pronouns.

* PronounTrouble: All Prophets, regardless of gender, have the first name "John" and are referred to as "brothers". That said, the female Johns are referred to as "she".



* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: What really cements the Earth Empire as evil in a universe of moral ambiguity is their persistent and continous use of slavery at every level of their society. The entire empire is built on the labor of whole alien races enslaved by the Prophets, who are in turn enslaved (both physically and [[MoreThanMindControl mentally]]) by the [[HiveQueen Arch-Mothers.]]

* StarfishAliens: All over the place. The world of Prophet is brimming with wonderfully bizarre alien species, such as the Kinniaa (quadrupedal faceless tree-people who grow indefinitely with old age and grow into a vast HiveMind) or the Qid-pid (centauric hunter-slaver aliens with four eyes, clawed hands and a long skinny "neck" that connects the skull to the beaked face). More or less the only exception are the [[LizardFolk Men of Scales.]]
