History Series / Killjoys

** Every company town is half IndustrialGhetto half WretchedHive,
** The only exception being Sugar Point, a walled up bombed out ruin being fought over by DisasterScavengers and a psychotic crime lord.

* DeadpanSnarker: Dutch, John, and D'avin all snark, but Lucy, the ship's AI takes the cake.

* IndenturedServitude: The situation D'Avin finds himself in at the beginning of the show. Passengers pay their fare on a starship ''Arcturus'' by indentured service until they pay off their debt and are left on the port of their choice. Said service takes the form of [[BloodSport fighting for the viewing pleasure of an audience]].

* NWordPrivileges: Killjoys get pissed when somebody else (usually Company personnel) calls them that, but they have no problem using the word amongst themselves.

* PlatonicLifePartners: As pointed out by their bartender, Dutch and John do everything together except sleep together.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Dutch has an absolute policy against taking kill warrants and won't resort to lethal force. Averted for the RAC and some of its other agents; they'll issue and execute kill orders without hesitation. In fact, a RAC agent who accepts a kill warrant and doesn't complete it becomes the subject of a kill warrant. This nearly bites Dutch in the ass with the RAC when she manages to get D'avin's warrant cancelled instead of fulfilling it.
* TrueNeutral: Invoked. One of the central tenets of the RAC is that they are absolutely neutral in all disputes and politics, which guarantees their professionalism when handling any warrant that comes their way.
* WeirdTradeUnion: The RAC is a guild of bounty hunters, which doubles as MurderInc when a Kill Order is issued.

* DeadpanSnarker: The Lucy AI comes off as this, as its snark is in its deadpan synth-voice.

* ActionGirl: The pilot episode solidly establishes Dutch as the deadliest and most badass member of the crew, as well as the boss of the team.
** Conversely, she often pretends to be a FauxActionGirl to get the drop on her targets.

* Badass: Given the job description it's pretty much a requirement for any RAC agent. Dutch, however, takes it UpToEleven thanks to [[spoiler:being trained as an assassin from childhood.]]

* InsistentTerminology: The people who work for the RAC are "Reclamation Agents", not "bounty hunters" or "killjoys", thank you very much. They do call themselves "Killjoys" is private conversations, though.

* MovingTheGoalposts: How the Arcturus keeps ahold of the good slave fighters that bring in the big audiences. D'avin is stuck in such a situation because he's too good a brawler.

* CasualInterstellarTravel: Not shown, but heavily implied. While all the action takes place in a single star system, in the pilot episode D'Avin arrives there from somewhere else on a ship making the rounds in the local star cluster, and implies he is a veteran of wars across the galaxy.

* ActionGirl: The pilot episode solidly establishes Dutch as the deadliest and most badass member of the crew.

* BountyHunter: Our heroes’ job. As a matter of fact there’s an entire organization of them called the '''R'''eclamation '''A'''pprehension '''C'''oalition, commonly known as The Rack.

* CoolShip: The crew’s ship, the ''Lucy''. On top of being an awesome little cruiser, ot has its own sentient A.I.

* FactionMotto: The entirety of The RAC’s existence is predicated on one single guiding principle: ''"The warrant is all"''.

* IndenturedServitude: The situation D’Avin finds himself in at the beginning of the show. Passengers pay their fare on a starship ''Arcturus'' by indentured service until they pay off their debt and are left on the port of their choice. Said service takes the form of [[BloodSport fighting for the viewing pleasure of an audience]].
* IndustrialGhetto: The Company has turned the entire moon Westerly into one of this, being the system’s industrial center, but also impoverished and polluted.
* InsistentTerminology: The people who work for the RAC are “Reclamation Agents”, not “bounty hunters” or “killjoys”, thank you very much.

* MysteriousPast: Dutch has one that involves being traind in torture and assassination when she was just a child. D'Avin deduces she has one because of her level of training and is the main reason he doesn't trust her.

* TrueNeutral: One of the central tenements of the RAC is that they are absolutely neutral in all disputes and politics, which guarantees their professionalism when handling any warrant that comes their way.
