!!Provides Examples Of:
%%* AbandonedArea: The old shack Nor Sullivan often spends time hiding out in.
* AbusiveParent:
** Billy Sullivan on an emotional level on several occasions. It’s even mentioned at Billy forced Rory Flynn to smoke a cigarette to the butt which ended in Rory throwing up.
** Also seen in Rafe Burke due to the pressure he puts on his daughter Jamie Burke to be his idea of a perfect child.
** It’s also mentioned that Petra Benson’s parents were often downright neglectful to their child.
* AdultFear:
** Losing both your wife and your parents in an attack on your home.
** People who caused said event arriving in the city to fled to.
%%* AnyoneCanDie: The story all begins with Brigid Boy leader Billy Sullivan getting shot in broad daylight.
* AntiHero: Most of the characters can be taken as this, especially those on the side of the Brigid Boys.
%%* BerserkButton: Touch the Sullivan twins, and see how Jonny reacts.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Sullivans with two dead parents, a bastard son who has only recently joined up with the family, a pair of twins with opposite goals in life, a private investigator uncle and Brigid Boy aunt all with a trouble making cousin.
** Also the Burke family. While the children are all fairly normal, the parents have a lot of relationship counselling to go through.
** This also applies to Mary and Jesse, seeing as the former has the latter believing that she is his sister, where she is actually his mother.
%%* BoardingSchool: Billy saw this as the only way to get Eleanor to clean up her act.
%%* BrotherSisterTeam: Nor and Rory Flynn are a good example of this.
* DirtyCop: Not all cops are clean in South Boston. Neil is a prime example of this. Marc could possibly be an example as well, seeing as his loyalty is more aligned with the Bridgid Boys.
%%* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: The relationship between Sarah Mitchell and Kennedy Mitchell.
%%* HighSchoolHustler: This can safely apply to both Sophie and Drew, having to do whatever they could to survive.
* TheIrishMob: Seeing as Billy Sullivan is Irish and is Southie's biggest mobster, this trope plays a significant role in the game.
* LongLostRelative: Played to an extent with Jake in regards to the Sullivans, seeing as he's Billy's bastard son.
* PromotionToParent: After Billy's death, Jake tries to be this to his half-siblings while he tries to clean up his father's mess; however, he doesn't know what it actually entails.
