10* AdaptationalVillainy: Gerome, Kiku, Katya, and Thuaine.

16* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Sealand seems to be this to his older brother (obviously based off England).
17* AntiVillain:
18** Katya, Gerome and Opal are joined the Career program out of pressure, fear or feelings of inadequacy, never seem to enjoy killing, and have many sympathetic traits, like Gerome's relationship with [[spoiler: Talia]] and Opal's with [[spoiler: Reise]].
19** Kiku and Reise are offer no FreudianExcuse for their volunteering (or, in Reise's case, psychotic behavior) but both have humanizing qualities and lines they will not cross.
20%%** Canada simply by virtue of being in the Career pack.
21* AnyoneCanDie: Obviously.
22* AuthorAvatar: Opal manages to be a well-done and non-{{MarySue}}-ish one.

29* BigBrotherInstinct: Romano volunteers for the Games to protect his sister, Talia.
30* BitchInSheepsClothing: Bastard In Sheep's Clothing: Thuaine plays the ‘nice guy’ angle during his interview and seems good-natured enough at first, but as the Games progress, becomes increasingly malicious and spiteful.
31* BigDamnHeroes: Reise attacks Addison from behind right when the latter is about to kill Opal.
32* BloodierAndGorier / DarkerAndEdgier: Carries on the Fanfic/BrutalSeries' tradition of putting the Hetalia characters through completely horrible, violent, and depressing situations.

55* EtTuBrute: Rod's girlfriend Honey was apparently betrayed and killed by her ally.
56* EvenEvilHasStandards: even [[AxCrazy Reise]] thinks Addison is evil, noting that she enjoys killing for the thrill of battle, while Addison enjoys killing out of hatred for her victims.

58* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Addison finds the terrified expression on [[spoiler:Ned's]] dying face to be hilarious.
59* {{Expy}}: Ahiru is Duck from ''Anime/PrincessTutu''. As the author puts it, why not?

77* HairTriggerTemper: the smallest thing can send Romano over the edge, [[KnightTemplarBigBrother especially if it concerns his beloved younger sister, Talia.]]

84* ImprobableWeaponUser: Russo with his pipe; Katya with her pitchfork.

103* OddFriendship: Reise, a bloodthirsty sadist from District 12, bonds with Opal, a quirky girl from District 4. It’s genuinely sweet.

105* PlatonicLifePartners: Lizzie and Felix.
