* GodGuise: [[spoiler:After Sam's origins and immunity to the Fade became public, the Theodosians either believe him to be sent by The Maker or a demon. In reality, he is not unlike any other outlanders that are exposed to the Fade that gained their magical immunity after being summoned to Thedas by Tevinter mages.]]
** [[spoiler:It is also implied that Andraste was actually an outlander as well.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: Julie's father was an elf, and she is proud of her mixed heritage. She strongly dislikes people who are prejudiced against elves.

This story deliberately downplays on SelfInsert fanfic tropes by depicting the main character as having no idea about the ''Dragon Age'' franchise and the events to come.

* [[spoiler:BattleHarem]]: Julie and Tam.

* [[spoiler:LostRomanLegion: A Roman Centurion was the first outlander (accidentally) summoned to Thedas by Tevinter mages two thousand years ago. He fell in love and married to a mage, Lutetia Tiberia Major, and fathering powerful mage children, one of whom is the direct ancestor of Titus Tiberius Pansa.]]

* ShoutOut: Sam's recent new allies are [[TheFamiliarOfZero Maurice and Louise de Villars]].

* TakeaThirdOption:

** The introduction of Titus Tiberius Pansa, military attaché to the Tevinter ambassador of Orlais, [[spoiler:arriving with an army of Tevinter mages and mercenaries, routing the Templars away from Hearth.]]

** Tam gives a surprising wake up call to Sam by teaching her students to play [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_6AQA4uzD0 Preußens Gloria]].

* EveryoneIsBi: Especially Julie. Almost all Orlesian characters at the very least, reflecting the culture of Orlais and the place of sex as a means of climbing the social ladder as part of [[DeadlyDecadentCourt The Grand Game]]. Largely averted with non-Orlesian characters, with Tam being the notable exception due to her Qunari upbringing.

* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: Defied. [[spoiler: Due to political infighting, Sam is forced to temporarily take power under a military coup until fresh elections can be held. Unfortunately this quickly results in others naming him emperor and giving the appropriate honorifics, something he is incenced and repulsed by.]]

* NoSell / AntiMagic: Sam is highly resistant or almost immune to magic. Any energy drawn directly to or from the Fade dissipates immediately when near his body. Armen hypothesized that it may have something to do with Sam having traveled through the Fade. [[spoiler:This serves as a doubled edge sword for Sam, as he cannot be harmed by magic yet cannot be magically healed easily[[note]] Sam had his bruises healed with magic, but only with direct physical contact and it almost caused Armen to lose consciousness[[/note]]. It is later discovered that he is immune ''and'' anathema to anything involving the Fade, after Sam effortlessly smashed Sylvans into splinters.]] The full extent of it is later demonstrated when Sam [[spoiler:ordered the liberated mages to kill him with magic before a huge crowd of onlookers. They failed.]]

** Subverted with their opposition, who used radios to quickly adjust their lines and commit reserves to counter Allistair's tactics. While they still suffered heavy losses (relative to their small numbers), the outcome was never seriously in doubt.

** [[spoiler: Sam ends up as the victim of this twice, since pregnancies from Outlanders result in powerful mages or magically immune children. Firstly via coercion and drugs after being captured, to produce a child with Mariette and spare his captured troops from being raped and tortured themselves. Mariette for her part, who is already attracted to Sam, volunteers for this as being preferable to being gang raped by pirats. Sam is then later on forced by a pirate mage, who then gets killed when Sam is rescued.]]

** Sam is later recruited by Liliana to rescue a group of pacifistic mages from the Templars. Armen argued against handing the mages over to the Chantry on the basis that they will be executed while Liliana argued that having them under the Chantry's watch will protect them. Sam decided that he doesn't want the mages turning over to the Rebellion or the Chantry, and instead bringing them to his home under his protection and supervision.

* AltarDiplomacy: [[spoiler:This is Tiberius' reasons for approaching to Sam, an outlander and already a noble, in order to add his powers to his family by arranging a political marriage between him and his granddaughter Aurelia. Sam is unsurprisingly stunned and repulsed by the concept. Though Tiberius understands Sam's reactions, but he also points out this is beneficial as an alliance with Tevinter will protect Sam from future retaliations from threats that he and his friends had made such as Orlais and the Templars.]]

-->[[spoiler: He is later forced to take the marriage in return for aid.]]

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Sam invoked the trope by comparing Thedas culture to Earth, particularly with the languages of Orlais.
** [[spoiler:There is justification for Ancient Tevinter's Roman-like culture is due to the first outlander, who was a Roman legionnaire that was largely responsible and influential for establishing the current Tevinter Imperium.]]
** [[spoiler:It is heavily implied that the Andrastean religion itself was also outlander-inspired as Andraste came from Early Christianity Europe.]]

** GirlsWithGuns: Julie and her HandCannon (a Beretta 92). Leha temporarily in the Rebellion volume.
