* AbandonedMine: The "Outcast", presented in the Second Interlude, seem to be living inside one [[spoiler: with the company of a Boogeyman, or even more as shown in "Forgotten Legacy".]]

* ActionGirl: Both shown in her Character, and also specified in the Lorebook [[spoiler: where it is revealed She converted into a Cyborg, and later into a Simulacrum, as a way to go beyond her original body limits]], Charlotte is a woman who loves sports, and enjoys also fightings, cue, Her desire to win a Holiday just to join some Fight Clubs.
* AffablyEvil: During his first brief introduction, We can see that Alfa, or "The Patriarch", might be one, as His plan to Clean the Empire's "Infamous Reputation", is to seal an Alliance with other nations... By Gifting them entire Cities, not even Beta, his Counselor, is sure about it [[spoiler: Although, as It can be seen in "De-Rezolutor Family", it worked with the "Phillips Calculator" of the "Ansia Republic".]].

* AffectionateNickname: Jadie usually calls Alfredo either with the diminutive "Alfie" or with the Nickname "Starlet".
** Jadie on the other hand is usually called "JD", by her husband Roger, who also calls Her [[spoiler: by her real name "Giada"]], and "Sunny" by Charlotte. [[spoiler: Jadie as well is a Nickname given by all her friends.]]
** Roger also as one, with Charlotte calling him "Rodge".
** Starting from "Starchild", Alfredo is referred to by Ivan and Morgante with the diminutive "Fredo", while from Eva, He is called "Alf".

* AllThereInTheManual: The "Lorebook" entries give some Infos about the settings, and also a few backgrounds regarding the Characters.

* AmazonianBeauty: Both Jadie and Charlotte are very tall and muscular girls, while Giantesses are this by nature, and the "Lorebook II" entry regarding Maroccas, a few Types are said to be this.

* AMinorKidroduction: The Prologue is set when Alfredo is six years old.

* {{Animesque}}: The style adopted by the series.

* ArcSymbol: Stars, since Alfredo's nickname is "Starlet", and the "Gizmos" all sports a Star in their design, to further nail the point, everything related to the Dreamers has a star, especially the "Chocolate Stars Hunt" in "Starchild".

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: At one point, during their discussion, Alfredo asks his mother if there are others "Different" like him... [[spoiler: Jadie's reaction implies something, as She proceeds to leave the room as She forgets to sing the usual lullaby.]]

* AsYouKnow: How Alfa delivers the brief resume on the political status of the World following the "Dreamers' War".

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite Roger being the target of many of their Jokes, especially Leonora's, the latter, and the rest of the Girls of the "De-Rezolutor Pub" really do love and care for the only Male member of their little group.

* {{Awesome Mc-Coolname}}: There are a few:
** Alfredo Ventura, that almost sound like A. Ventura (Adventure).
** Ivan Naville Petranova is another example.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: While more Cute than Beautiful (Maybe a good 50/50), Jadie is by far one of the most gentle and nice women in the Series, despite a few flaws.

* BeneathTheMask: Despite her happy and joyful personality most of the time, especially when in the company of her loved ones, Jadie has a hard time keeping herself to cry when She hears words, or sees things, that briefly triggers her traumas, leading Her to shift from Her usual positive self, to a more negative and saddened one.

* BerserkButton: Never, ever, EVER, call Bells a "Short-stack", as she gets so annoyed to even threaten to outright shatter Leonora's core if she dares again, although how much she means it is unknown.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Alfredo, Jadie, and Roger respectively in the order in which they are presented.

* BigEater: Bells seems to be known as one among the "De-Rezolutor" group.

* BigThinShortTrio: Charlotte, Leonora, and Bells are quite an example if We exclude Roger and Jadie.
** Ivan, Eva, and Alfredo as well fit in this trope respectively.

* CerebusSyndrome: The Interludes after the Prologue are subject of this, especially with the first Interlude, where Alfa informs Beta about his plans for an "Alliance", while also mentioning a certain "Dr. Plague".
** The Second Interlude implies that the "Outcast" might be a bigger threat due to being more insane than the more reasonable and calculative Beta, or the Mysterious Dr. Plague.
** In the middle of "De-Rezolutor Family", We learn that not only Jadie [[spoiler: lost track of Alfredo under mysterious circumstances, but also that a few of Her friends died, and one even betrayed them, and in addition of her behavior from the Prologue, further confirming that Jadie may be depressed.]]
** In the "Lorebook I", other than learning part of the world's origins, some of the Character's backstory are rather dark, especially considering that [[spoiler: Bells had to become a Cyborg due to an incurable disease and Leonora got ran over by a truck out of her own carelessness.]]
** In both the Lorebook entries it is mentioned that [[spoiler: the previous "Matriarch" of the Empire, disappeared by the hands of her own guardian, who is known as one of the founders of the Dreamers.]]

* CuteMonsterGirl: Harpies and Maroccas are an example, being both respectively races of Humanoid Birds and Frogs, or rather, like Humans, related to those.

* CrystalLandscape: The "Paranoia Empire" seem to have this, as shown in its brief appearance in the First Interlude.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Quite implied for Alfredo, especially after the "6 Years Timeskip" [[apoiler: following his "explosive" tantrum, in which He briefly find refuge in his "Golden Garden".]]
** Jadie as well seems to have one, further implied by Her behavior in "De-Rezolutor Family"
** In the Interlude, it appears that Enzo made a great mess, that the Empire had to fix. [[spoiler: Later revealed in the Lorebook Entries that He, along "The Goliath", the one behind the Matriarch's disappearance, ]]
** The Outcast seems to have some "Bad blood" toward the king and the kingdom.
** Whatever happened during the war, it must have strained the relationship between Morgante and his friends Beelze and Ulrich, with Ulrich's current status not shown, neither mentioned.
** In the Lorebook it's mentioned that Ivan [[spoiler: once had a twin that was lost a long time ago!]]


* ADayInTheLimelight: Each Chapter of Act 1 so far focused on one Character in particular of the Main Cast.

* DeadpanSnarker: Among the Staff of the "De-Rezolutor", Leonora is the true embodiment of this trope.
** Ivan shows bits of this.

* DeathByChildbirth: This was the fate of Ivan's mother, Paula Ventura, as revealed in the Lorebook entry.

* DeathOfPersonality: The Lorebook reveal that [[spoiler: this is the fate of all Simulacra when they reach their "Expiration Date".]]

* TheDragon: Beta is one for Alfa... or so it seems.

* DramaBomb: Every Story starring Jadie is subject to one.
** [[spoiler: This seems to be a trait Her son take as well.]]

* {{Dramedy}}: The Series seems to feature a mix of heartwarming and wholesome moments, combined with comical shenanigans and jokes, with bits of Drama.

* EarlyBirdCameo: There are a few of this, most of the time to anticipate the next story:
** Charlotte and the rest of the "De-Rezolutor" staff make an appearance in one of the Chancellor's Holographic screens.
** José, Charles, and even a young Eva makes an appearance in one of the Chancellor's Holographic screens, same goes for King Morgante, Ivan, and Ferdinand.
** Eva makes another cameo in the "De-Rezolutor Family", as she attends the "Bonds Celebration Day" with a Guy, possibly Her Ex-Boyfriend "Jeremy" [[spoiler: A.k.a. the "Outcast".]].
** Jadie's Friends (Brody as well), all appear in one of the Chancellor's Holographic screens prior to their first appearance in "De-Rezolutor Family", with Brody having a screen showing his "Wanted" sign.

* EatingOptional: Simulacra, despite being completely similar to Humans, actually have no need to eat or drink... This doesn't refrain Bells to be a BigEater, while Leonora opts to not eat at all.
** In the Lorebook, Maroccas are stated to have "Humps" in both the Chest and Back area, that store fats and liquid, allowing them to work uninterrupted, and so, making the option of eating optional.

* ExoticEyeDesigns: Alfredo and his Mother seem to be the only character to have Diamond-shaped Pupils, with Alfredo who as well as Golden Eyes.
** Subverted later with the First Interlude and with "De-Rezolutor Family", as Simulacra seem to share this trait, Charles as well in "Starchild".

* FakeOutOpening: The first pages of the Prologue features the tales of the "Dreamers" and the coming of the "Hollows". [[spoiler: It later turns out to be a young Alfredo reading the comic of that story in particular.]]

* GreatOffscreenWar: The "Dreamers' War" is said to be one for the World of Gaia, at the point that the Empire of Paranoia Itself gained huge infamy throughout the entire world because of it, thus leading to the "Patriarch's" plan to reunite it with an alliance... that sounds quite shady even for Morgante, [[spoiler: who was forced to join after losing to his old friend, the General of the Empire, Beelzebufo Ampinga.]]

* GoodParents: Jadie is one toward Her little child "Alfie", other than giving Him the Nickname "Starlet", She proceeds to finish the story with him despite being past His bedtime, gave Her interpretation of the story instead of straight telling Him that it's not real, and comforted Him with their Lullaby when He felt down about [[spoiler: being forbidden to interact with other kids of his age.]].
** As His father, Roger might as well be one due to his supportive and gentle personality, although no direct interaction between Him and Alfredo was shown so far.
** Morgante appears to be one due to his charismatic personality, even though Ivan seems to not be much trustworthy of his choices. [[spoiler: The fact that Ivan's twin just went missing seem to put a little red flag on Morgante's "Conduct" as "good parent".]]

* HardLight: Known as "Solid Tone Echo Hologram" of the Echotech, as revealed in the Lorebook, and also what the bodies of the latest generation of Simulacra are made of, in order to be as Human-like as possible.
** On further inspection, the "Blades" of the Gizmos seem to be made of this a-la Lightsaber.

* HornsOfVillainy: The "Hollow" shown in the Prologue is sporting these, made out of a Purple Cristalline Material.
** Inverted in general, as Giants and Giantess both sports horns, even King Morgante.

* {{Human Dad, NonHuman Mom}}: Alfredo is a "Simulacrum Child", a hybrid born from a Simulacrum, his mother Jadie, and a Human, His father Roger.

* HybridPower: "The Mark" of the Simulacra Children, as Charles mention during "Starchild", when He assist the power that Alfredo awakens [[spoiler: following his tantrum.]]

* {{Magitek}}: Or "Echotech", is what most of the Technology is developed in the world of Gaia, as revealed in the Lorebook, even things that look like Nowadays Tech is powered by the Ether thanks to it, with the "Ansia Republic", the one closer to the real-world regarding the setting, being a mix of ordinary tech and "Ethertech", while the "Paranoia Empire" doesn't seem to hide the fact that it makes heavy use of it, while it is presumed that the "Amnesia Kingdom" makes it pass for "Magic" with its more Fantasy-esque setting... or so it seems.

* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: There seems to be a slight Subtext of this between Ferdinand and Charles, although it's not completely confirmed outside how the two of them look at each other.
** Confirmed in the "Lorebook Entry II" where it is said Charles and Ferdinand live together on a farm, and are the adoptive parents of Miss Kimberly Ara.

* MoodWhiplash: The Series seems to have a tendency to have these by how it alternate funny, heartwarming, and wholesome moments with sadder and dramatic ones from one panel to another.

* NoodleIncident: In the "De-Rezolutor Family", We learned that a certain "Imperial tourist", by the name of "Nana Serinus", once came at the "De-Rezolutor Pub" after Hours, causing a scene that led Jadie herself to take care of Her, after Roger and the others were heavily mistreated and insulted.
** Ivan reminds Alfredo of the time "Someone" forgot to divide the aluminum wrapping from the chocolate stars last time they had a "Star Hunt", implying that the latest cake was, in fact, with aluminum inside.

* ObviouslyNotFine: In both Her appearances in the "Prologue" and in the "De-Rezolutor Family", Jadie showed signs of Depression, by trying to act fine in the initial parts, only to break down later in both the stories, both cases due to recollecting hurtful Memories.
** Her son Alfredo seems to show similar signs [[spoiler: as shown when He lashed out during his tantrum, and in the aftermath when He briefly found refuge in his "Golden Garden".]]

* OrganicTechnology: In the Lorebook, Maroccas are revealed to be actually a "Biomechanical" race created by the "Anurians", like "Cell" from Dragonball Z, with each type being given a specific purpose, and who can revert to their Larval state in order to reset their lifespan in a fashion similar to the "Immortal Jellyfish", with each "Reset" that is called "Generation".

* ParentsAsPeople: Despite being a good and caring mother to Alfredo, Jadie has shown a few times to have as well her own weaknesses, and that She, as well, need help and support from others in order to be happy, with Alfredo himself being a reason for Her to live, even after everything that has been implied to have happened in Her past. Good thing Roger is by her side.

* ScienceFantasy: The existence of "Echotech", and so, of the implication of using the "Echo" as a power source, might put the Series under this trope, as it mixes Fantasy with Science-Fiction.

* SweetTooth: Bells appears to love Sweets, at the point to even admit to going out with the rest of the "De-Rezolutor" Staff just to eat some at the kiosks.

* TheDreaded: Just mentioning "Him" seems to scare Roger a little.
** The "Patriarch" takes the cakes, as it is implied that He is rarely mentioned due to his infamy, despite being an authority figure.

* TimeSkip: Between the "Prologue" and the "De-Rezolutor Family" story, Six years have passed.
** Each story is separated by a few months apart.

* TitleDrop: Each Story/Chapter tends to Drop the Title in the dialogue, with the sole exception of the Prologue and the two Interludes, with the "Prelude" that instead Drops the Series Title.

Adult Fear is now a disambig



* AdultFear: Jadie seems to be concerned about something regarding Her child, at the point to [[spoiler: not let him interact with other kids of his age in order to "Protect Him"]], without giving a proper explanation in regard, although She may have ulterior motives if [[spoiler: the name "Eugene" is to be considered.]].
** During the 6 Years Timeskip, Jadie seems to have lost Alfredo during mysterious circumstances, that were also connected with the loss of a few of Her friends, fortunately, slightly Averted as Roger, with his positivism, reassures Her that they will eventually find their son [[spoiler: Although, implying that they gave up once with a certain "Gene", which is later revealed in the Lorebook to have been Roger's best friend.]].
** Totally Averted in "Starchild" where it is revealed that Alfredo has been found by Charles, and brought to the Amnesia Kingdom, where He was taken under the king's wing, who gave him a home, and a family.
