* FriendshipMoment: in The Creeping Messiah Complex, when Worth makes a human sheild out of himself between Conrad and [[spoiler: the secret police]]. Obligatory HoYay aside, it's probably the first time that Conrad ever considered Worth might really actually give two shits about him.

''FanFic/UpInSmoke'' is a HannaIsNotABoysName fanfic that takes place during, well, the apocalypse. [[ThePlague A virus]] that kills in a matter of days has been running rampant, people are panicking and rioting when they're not dying in the streets, and Worth decides it's best to get the heck outta dodge.

* AntiHero: Worth, type III. Conrad qualifies as type I.



* EveryoneCanSeeIt: or at least, Bondye, Fell, John, and some town in the middle of nowhere can see it. Fully Justified in the case of Bondye and Fell, who we are led to believe are [[spoiler:an angel and a demon respectively]] and can probably see that sort of thing in anyone.

Added DiffLines:

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: actually averted with [[spoiler: Zillah]], who was actually pretty equal-oportunity albeit ruthless, despite the story setting you up for one of these.


Added DiffLines:

* SourSupporter: although not to the same extent, Worth and Conrad are both this to Hanna.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: Conrad. Oh, poor put-upon Conrad, it's been all down hill for you since you broke that bottle over that guy's head.
* UngratefulBastard: In the Creeping Messiah Complex, John. [[spoiler: At least until his final HeelFaceTurn, and even then...]]

* FriendToAllChildren: Hanna, which is good, because Zombie is not really designed for the job, and Worth and Conrad are both equally at a loss around them. There's an argument in "Residue" that comes immediately to mind...



* GuiltComplex: Worth believes Hanna has one. He apparently blames himself for the devastating final extent of the plague.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: Worth, of course. Probably most relevant in The Creeping Messiah Complex, considering the central conflict.



* LegendaryInTheSequel: Hanna, by virtue of working with creatures of legend. They have a flair for the dramatic, after all, and they like a good story.



* OmniscientCouncilofVagueness: What Hanna's project becomes a year or so into the timeline.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Hanna cannot resist a person in need, even if it puts him at a distinct disadvantage. He stops to help civilians in the middle of a quest, gives away supplies, heals injured bystanders when he can hardly stand... the list goes on.



* FromNobodyToNightmare: Nobody ever paid attention to [[spoiler: Zillah]]. Actually, they still don't.



* HeroOfAnotherStory: Hanna's adventures in The Creeping Messiah Complex, which is fitting since in the grand scheme of things he is the hero. Just not the protagonist.



* IHateYouVampireDad: par for the course with Conrad, but becomes a plot point in a later installment.



* ManBehindTheMan: Well, [[spoiler: the woman]] in The Creeping Messiah Complex. Also a case of "the man in front of the man".



* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Lamont]] dies of the virus in his first appearance, in Worth's office. While Worth did have patients die on him, it's ''his'' death that makes him decide to just leave town.

* ShipperOnDeck: Hanna seems supportive of Conrad and Worth resolving their thus-far unresolved sexual tension. Although, he might just be hoping it will cut down on fist fights in enclosed areas.
* TheStoic: Zombie, of course. It's noted that this (his lack of emoting) is actually what freaks people out the most. Apparently there was a NoodleIncident where he became temporarily... less dead?
* ThoseTwoGuys: as far as the supernatural world is concerned, Conrad and Worth are just Hanna's sidekicks. You know, the ones who start punching each other half way through the Ratification Feast toasts every year.

Added DiffLines:

* BadassNormal: Worth gets a bit of this. When you compare him with Hanna and the gang in the final chapter, and especially [[spoiler: considering that while everyone else is using magic or supernatural bonuses, he's using a christ-powered fist or a tire iron, of all things]].
