* BadAssLongCoat: Oliver has been wearing a trench-coat since Chapter 2.

Added DiffLines:

* FairFolk: They are a bunch of evil spirits who resembles shadows. However, it is revealed that what the Sixth Brigade think are Fair Folk are actually something different. Real Fair Folk look incredibly similar and have pretty much the same abilities, sans the whole necromancy thing.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceHat: Fedoras are also part of the uniform.


Added DiffLines:

*** White. Dear God, White.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They are shapeshifters who kick significant amounts of ass. Gabriel is a more stereotypical angel physically, though this is most likely a choice or is due to the fact that he is a lesser angel.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: They are physically and mentally indistinguishable from angels, being that they are indeed fallen angels. Gabriel may or may not be one.
** There is an entire category of monsters known as "daemons", but demons do not fall under this category. Daemons are embodiments of evil, typically evil spirits.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They are the honey badgers of the paranormal kingdom.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Normal zombies have yet to make an appearance, but there are corpses reanimated by the "Fair Folk".

* BigBad: Rurik Udovin, mysterious co-founder of the New England Paranormal Society who was wiped from all records and imprisoned below the Sphinx. He's manipulated everything from the very start through his minion, McMillan.

to:

* BerserkButton: If you hurt either Raj or Nico, the other will find you. And he will kill you.
** Nico didn't take to kindly to being referred to as "squid" for a while, but he mellowed about it and it's pretty much stopped.
* BigBad: Rurik Udovin, mysterious co-founder of the New England Paranormal Society who was wiped from all records and imprisoned below the Sphinx. He's manipulated everything from the very start through his minion, McMillan.Mc Millan.



* BunnyEarsLawyer: Subverted. Nico may be good at what he does, but Oliver will not handle any shit from him. He keeps a gun on his person at all times specifically tailored to kill Nico in order to keep him in line.
* CerebusSyndrome



** We get a quick look at the Sword in the Stone, Clarent. It comes with OminousLatinChanting (though it isn't really Latin) and everything!



* DarkerAndEdgier: Chapters Three and Four somewhat, compared to the first two. The ArcWords seem to hint that this will get more prominent as time goes on.



* DontBreakTheCutie: Raj is basically an untrained Nico, and he gets pissed if he touch his mentor/boyfriend.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Chapter One is very disjointed and character-driven, which is strange compared to the extremely plot-based nature of the succeeding chapters.



* LighterAndSofter: The APS under the leadership of White, of all people.

to:

* FantasticRacism: Humans towards paranormals. Goddamn everything against Chthonians.
* FiveManBand: Seven, actually.
** TheHero: Oliver.
** TheLancer: James. Nico. Occasionally Roland. Gabriel seems like he might end up being this.
** TheSmartGuy: Oliver. He can still kick ass.
** TheBigGuy: Nico. Francesca.
** TheChick: Raj. Gwen. They can still kick ass too, and are far from the being TheLoads.
** TagalongKid: Raj, unless you piss him off.
** SixthRanger: Raj and his replacement, Gabriel. To a lesser extent, James. A meta-example would be Gabriel and Raj's RealLife creator, Nightkill.
* {{Masquerade}}: Duh.
* LighterAndSofter: The APS under the leadership of White, of all people. How ironic, considering the direction of the RP.



* OminousLatinChanting: Subverted and Lampshaded. There is ominous chanting when summoning a Horseman of Apocalypse, and it's supposed to sound like Latin, but it's actually Portuguese. Mc Millan explains that he doesn't speak Latin, but it's kind of weird that the Horsewoman, Pestilence, does the Portuguese thing too.



* PutOnABus: Raj.

to:

* PutOnABus: Raj.Raj just up and disappears, though Nat and Night have hinted that there is more to it than that.


Added DiffLines:

* TeasingCreator: Oh, do I ever love this!
* TheAlcholic: Roland.


Added DiffLines:

* TheUnmasquedWorld: Due to the events of Chapter Two, the existence of the monsters has been revealed to the public. Chapter Four begins with White revealing the existence of the APS to the world as well. Not much time has been spent dwelling on the implications of it all yet, but a majority of Chapter Four will be.
