9** Rod remembering his time with Honey and how her death drove him into depression.
10* AdaptationalVillainy: Gerome, Kiku, Katya, and Thuaine.

13* AllMenArePerverts: Katya thinks this trope almost word-for-word after she catches Canada ogling her chest.
14* AmbiguouslyJewish: Opal prays occasionally and makes reference to food she is not allowed to eat.
15%%* AngstySurvivingTwin: Canada to Usa.
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.
23* AxCrazy: Definitely Addison; Reise to a letter extent. [[spoiler:Russo]] might be headed this way as well.

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.

48%%* DoggedNiceGuy: Susan to Tino

51%%* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Poor [[spoiler:Ned]]
52* ElegantClassicalMusician: Rod plays the violin, has a large vocabulary, and behaves in a refined manner.

73%%* ImprobableWeaponUser: Russo with his pipe; Katya with her pitchfork.

92* ParentalAbandonment: Romano’s and Talia’s parents left them with their grandfather to avoid having extra mouths to feed.
93%%* PlatonicLifePartners: Lizzie and Felix.
94* PolarOppositeTwins: In his introductory chapter, Canada notes how his late twin, Usa, was outgoing, obnoxious, and confident, while he is shy, polite and unsure of himself.

115* VillainProtagonist: Not that the other characters are ignored or portrayed as antagonists, but the Careers get a lot of focus and are portrayed quite sympathetically. In fact, the only ones of them who can be called flat-out villains are Addis and possibly Thuaine.
