* AnIcePerson: Mizore [[MeaningfulName Shirayuki]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: After the recent expansion, every player is allowed five characters; those five characters can each have three NPCs. This gives people, effectively, ''20 characters each''. Since most TV shows have ''five characters period''...

* OneSteveLimit: One of the rules of the forum. Two people are not allowed to claim the same canon character, and an NPC must have a different name than all canon/Main characters.
* PersonalityPowers: Lea and Shiki are both fire-wielders. They are also both hotheads with tempers.

* {{Unstoppable Rage}}: Shizuo Heiwajima. 'Nuff said.

* Unstoppable Rage: Shizuo Heiwajima. 'Nuff said.

** Also Tifa, in the unfinished companion novel, ''Rise of Network''.

* OfficialCouple: Since [[{{Fangirl}} most of the forum's members are female]], there are quite a few; most notably the "Power Trio" of ShiSora, Nameku, and LeaxAya, with Shizaqua as an added bonus.

* GenderFlip: An amusing case; head admin Neku Sakuraba is female. She has yet to create a female Main Character; her only female character ''at all'' is an obscure NPC featured in ''two posts'' and exists only because Neku needed an adult owner for the characters' hangout, a club/bar/hangout called Veil.

* GenderBender: An amusing case; head admin Neku Sakuraba is female. She has yet to create a female Main Character; her only female character ''at all'' is an obscure NPC featured in ''two posts'' and exists only because Neku needed an adult owner for the characters' hangout, a club/bar/hangout called Veil.

* GoodGuyBar / LocalHangout: The Veil, which is a bar/grill/nightclub/teen hangout that also serves as the secret base of operations of the entire Network.

* {{GoodGuyBar}}/{{LocalHangout}}: The Veil, which is a bar/grill/nightclub/teen hangout that also serves as the secret base of operations of the entire Network.

* GoodGuyBar/LocalHangout: The Veil, which is a bar/grill/nightclub/teen hangout that also serves as the secret base of operations of the entire Network.

* JerkassWoobie: Angel, Namine's first NPC. Let's see... he's an abuser of all three types, killed his best friend over a girl, is completely controlled by his demonic instincts... but emotionally, he's completely and totally broken, is only doing what he does in order to keep around the only person in the world who ever really gave a crap about him, and after all of this comes out, everyone on the site hates his guts. A oneshot detailing future plans of his creator shows him, after Namine has been kidnapped by her abusive parents, curled up in a ball with his incredibly depressed thoughts, and completely silent, except for the rare occasions when he [[DespairEventHorizon expresses his desire to die.]]

** A notable out-of-character one included an early cooking attempt by Lea; Neku gets as far as mentioning that Lea managed to ''burn water'', at which point Lea told him they agreed to NeverSpeakOfThisAgain.

* ShipperOnDeck: Namine, for Sora and Shiki.

* JerkassWoobie: Angel, Namine's first NPC. Let's see... he's an abuser of all three types, killed his best friend over a girl, is completely controlled by his demonic instincts... but emotionally, he's completely and totally broken, is only doing what he does in order to keep around the only person in the world who ever really gave a crap about him, and after all of this comes out, everyone on the site hates his guts.

* PsychicPowers: According to Neku/WordOfGod, this is the most common form of ability for 'normal' Otherborn. There are several examples.

* Action Girl: Arguably, any female character that ''isn't'' Namine.
* Expy: Is both played straight and subverted on the site; all characters are based on canon characters from other works, yet some copy those characters outright, and some [[InNameOnly bear only nominal resemblance to their original selves.]]

The story takes place in Urbadelphia, a mysterious city plagued by outbreaks of "Demons", which are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin destructive, unearthly monsters that seek to conquer our world]]. These demons come from an alternate dimension known as the Otherworld, a creepy, twisted world that in some ways mirrors our own. When they cross between their world and ours, they pierce a mystic Veil that separates the two. For a brief time, this Veil overlaps our world, causing it to twist and shift. Of course, the mundane inhabitants of our world cannot perceive it - it takes special people, born with an arcane connection to the other side, to perceive the shift; these people call themselves [[TitleDrop Otherborn.]] Blessed (or [[CursedWithAwesome cursed]]) with [[PsychicPowers special abilities]], these Otherborn are often alienated from society by their powers, afraid that they are freaks or even monsters themselves. To relieve this, and combat the demonic threat, there is the Network - a secret organization, created by Otherborn to act as support for their own kind and serve as a central agency for those who would fight for the survival of the world.

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Haraken's glasses allow him to see things that he really shouldn't be able to. [[JustifiedTrope Then again,]] given what he's [[Anime/DennouCoil from...]]
