* {{Bishounen}}: Lio, to the point where he's mistaken for a woman at first glance by several characters.
** Kaname Ryougi, Shiki's older brother, is described as resembling his [[{{Bifauxnen}} younger sister]] a great deal.

* PaintingTheMedium: PARIAH speaks '''entirely in bold'''. That is, the PARIAH who commands the Three Kings does this. The one who's in a bunker underneath Vandenberg Air Force Base only does it on occasion.

[[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/1870-Maybe-I-m-a-Lion-%28KnK-Prototype-Crossover%29 Maybe I'm a Lion]] is an ongoing ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''/''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' crossover fanfic written by [[http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/member.php/287-Dullahan Dullahan]], being published on the Beast's Lair [[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} TYPE-MOON]] forums.

It poses the question - what if, by complete coincidence, the Blacklight virus at the centre of ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'''s plot was to fall into the hands of what might appear to be the single worst possible candidate for obtaining viral super-powers: Lio Shirazumi, the [[SerialKiller homicidal]], drug-dealing [[StalkerWithACrush stalker]] who served as the main antagonist of the seventh chapter of ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''?

** [[{{LightNovel/Durarara}} Izaya Orihara]] appears, albeit unnamed, in one chapter.

* OutsideContextProblem: All over the place. Blackwatch is ruthlessly efficient at dealing with scientific monsters, but aren't prepared to deal with supernatural elements. Likewise, most of the characters from ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' lack the resources to really oppose an organized military. Lio is this for ''everyone'' as nobody, except perhaps PARIAH and the Three Kings, saw his transformation coming.

** HorrifyingHero

* NotGoodWithPeople: Lio. The cafe scene alone makes it clear he has very little idea how to interact with people in social situations.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Several - in Japanese, no less.
** For example: 'Shirazumi' - Lio's surname - can also mean 'white charcoal'. After getting incinerated alive by GAMEKEEPER, Lio is reduced to - what else? - a small pile of white charcoal.
* KilledOffForReal: Alex Mercer. In the very first chapter, too!
** [[spoiler:Azaka gets shot in the head.]]

* LivingDollCollector: Touko.
* MagicalEye: These seem to be a trait in the Ryougi familly. Shiki has her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
** Her brother's Pure Eyes can detect non-humans by seeing their auras.
** Her father's eyes have the Discernment of Truth and Falsehood.

* MoodSwinger: Lio.

* OriginalCharacter: To name a few;

* ShoutOut: Loads of them.
** The title of the story itself is one, to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''.

-->In keeping with one of the themes of this story being a twisted parody of shounen manga, you may have noticed that Lio possesses several very characteristic protagonist traits. Firstly, he doesn't die when he's killed, and in fact has a tendency to power up and beat the people who just failed to kill him. Secondly, [[HardWorkHardlyWorks he can learn and acquire skills much faster than people who've worked for them their entire lives]]. Finally, after defeating opponents, he's able to come to an understanding with them, see their point of view, and work together from then on. Not to mention that he has a dark and troubled past, is an epic-tier bishounen, and fights for the sake of his friends. The catch is, of course, that the reason for all of these is that he's a flesh-eating, soul-eating [[HumanoidAbomination eldritch horror wearing a human face]], which itself has mental problems that would be more at home in [[Anime/NeonGenisisEvangelion Evangelion]]. But hey, everything comes with downsides. :P
