** Santa Claus's North Pole is made entirely of this: He has a cantina based on the famous one from StarWars which is inhabited by the likes of an undead FrankSinatra, JohnLennon, and Creator/CharlieChaplin. His house is a mishmash of Tim Taylor's garage from HomeImprovement, the kitchen from GeorgeLopez, and Ray's bedroom from EverybodyLovesRaymond. This is, of course {{lampshaded}}.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Society has saved the world and regularly defends it from horrible threats. However, FantasticRacism saturates it's ranks and they will kill (not arrest) most any monster that they find. Until White's era, it was common practice to kill agents when they retired to stop them from talking.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Gwen, despite all evidence to the contrary, latches onto this.
** Durim seems to, as well.



* CanonImmigrant: Wayne is an odd example. He was born in Roleplay/SuperTeensStuff, but, as of Chapter Four, he has joined the cast of this RP. He is also quite literally an immigrant, since he simply came over from his world.



* DeadpanSnarker: Oliver. Francesca has her moments as well.
** Wayne.



* {{Expy}}: Wayne, in the most literal sense.



* GrayAndGreyMorality: The group frequently lapses into this when fighting their enemies. In fact, for the most part, it seems the only crimes Rurik and the OIA are guilty of is [[UnfortunateImplications being Russians]].



* KnightInShiningArmor: Gwen to Francesca, occasionally.

* AmicablyDivorced: White and Gabriel have had a very, very long romantic history but, as far as we know, are currently not together. They still flirt a lot and are better friends than most of the characters. Also, they don't seem to have been married, but one can never be sure.


Added DiffLines:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: White started off as this, but that nasty character development got in the way.
** To clarify, she acts like a sweet person to most people. When dealing with the Sixth, she shows her bitchy side. However, when dealing with Gabriel, she shows her softer side and, since his introduction, has largely softened up.
