Has sadly been [[OrphanedSeries discontinued]], but its partial "revamp"/spiritual successor ''GATEKEEPER'' can be read [[http://gatekeepercomic.smackjeeves.com/comics/1710341/cover/ here]].

To avoid confusion, on this wiki page, the Doctor will not be referred to by his real name ([[spoiler:Mr. Friday]]) but by his given alias. Likewise, the ProfessionalKiller [[spoiler:persona of Mr. Porter]] will be refered to as Mr. Friday.

* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:The Doctor went in this direction for Sonia. He had her killed for cheating on him with Jack Porter. This, even though the Doctor had just ''abandoned her'' and taken their son with him without any given reason!]]

* {{Badass}}: Andy Lee.
** Argent is also a great, albeit more subtle, example.
** By extension, [[BewareTheSillyOnes Jack Friday]], who was [[spoiler:able to go toe to toe with Andy]] on [[TraintopBattle top of a moving truck]]!

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Louis, the [[BigBad Doctor's]] son, who also works as a Cavello member.

* AllThereInTheManual: Quite a bit can be learned about the characters by reading through supplemental materials in hiruda's {{deviantArt}} account as well as her [[http://www.formspring.me/rpscomic?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=askwidget&utm_campaign=askwidget formspring]].

* IfICantHaveYou: A particularly twisted example: [[spoiler: The Doctor married Sonia, but he abandoned her and took their son, Louis, with him. Then, when Sonia [[ANakedShoulderToCryOn cheated on him with Jack Porter]], the Doctor had her killed ''anyway'' by a brainwashed Mr. Porter.]] Yikes!

Has sadly been [[OrphanedSeries discontinued]], but its spiritual "revamp"/successor ''GATEKEEPER'' can be read [[http://gatekeepercomic.smackjeeves.com/comics/1710341/cover/ here]].

The comic is ongoing, updating on a fairly regular basis. At the moment, eight chapters have been finished and Chapter 9 is under way. It went through substantial ArtEvolution and hiruda has announced plans to redo the first chapter in acknowledgement of this. The genre could be described as three parts criminal fiction, two parts psychological thriller, one part science fiction, and one part SliceOfLife. It has a fast-paced plot, entertaining characters, and loads of visually pleasing official art. Also has a character list [[http://rps.smackjeeves.com/characters/ here]]. It has MultipleDemographicAppeal and NeedsMoreLove.

* [[ObfuscatingStupidity Obfuscating Uselessness]]: [[spoiler:Louis.]] Turns out that he's a lot more active about [[spoiler:dealing with his father's enemies]] than it seemed early on. And he's ''[[BewareTheSillyOnes good at it]]''.

* AntiHero: Andy Lee is either a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type III or Type IV.]] The [[WordOfGod author]] has it written that his alignment is ChaoticNeutral and his main motivation for catching criminals seems to be that he wants to get paid money, so he can buy more soap operas to watch.

* OverlordJr: Louis is the Doctor's son and seems to work as a front man for the [[TheSyndicate Cavellos]] at times. However, he's a bit of an odd version of this trope as he doesn't really seem evil so much as apathetic towards what his father does. He seems more interested in [[TheCasanova dating hot women]] than any evil schemes, though he is cooperative and does what his father tells him to do [[spoiler:along with a little extra work on the side.]] It is unclear whether or not the Doctor plans on having Louis take over for him. In fact, it is unclear whether or not [[spoiler:the Doctor ''[[HumanoidAbomination can even die]]''.]]

* EnfantTerrible: As of Chapter 9, [[spoiler:Louis is revealed to have been one of these. He ran Mr. Porter over with a car simply to help his father, and has shown other early signs of [[LackOfEmpathy socipathy]].]]

* CuteShotaroBoy: Louis was one when he was younger. This is to be expected as he is now a {{Bishonen}}.

* AntiHero: Andy Lee is either a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes: Type III or Type IV.]] The [[WordOfGod author]] has it written that his alignment is ChaoticNeutral and his main motivation for catching criminals seems to be that he wants to get paid money, so he can buy more soap operas to watch.

!!''Rock Paper Scissors'' provides examples of:

* YoungestChildWins: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. ''Hard.'' Thomas and Phil, as shown [[http://rps.smackjeeves.com/comics/595659/078/ here]] have some issues. Apparently, Phil wanted Thomas' position as inspector. [[CaptainObvious He didn't get it.]]

** [[spoiler:KnightOfCerebus]]: [[spoiler:[[CompleteMonster The Doctor]].]] ''Full stop.''

* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:The Doctor went in this direction for Sonia. He had her killed for cheating on him with Jack Porter. [[CompleteMonster This, despite the fact that the Doctor had just ''abandoned her'' and taken their son with him without any given reason!]]]]

* [[spoiler:However, since he's been kicked off the Cavellos case and is still trying to stop them anyway, this seems suspect.]] In any case, he's still an AntiHero of some type as he has proven that he is prepared to execute criminals on the job.

* AffablyEvil: The Doctor is usually very polite, and has also shown to be very kind to his son Louis.

* {{Adorkable}}: Thomas, quite often. Also Mr. Friday can be, when he's not killing people. Reilly also has her moments.

* BoobsOfSteel: Argent again.
