24	!! Six Chances has examples of:
25
26	* ActionGirl: Atienna often prefers to use her fists despite her [[BewareTheNiceOnes bookworm-ish and shy]] nature.%% Maria also counts.
27	* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Basically what happens to True Conductors during overrides/overlaps. It affects certain characters more than others...
28	* AssassinationAttempt: What kicks off Olive's and Atienna's story in Part 1.
29	* BadassCrew: The main six, Werner's unit, [[spoiler: ELPIS leaders]], Gabrielle's group.
30	* BadassFamily: The crime Foxman Family who are actually brothers.
31	* BadgesAndDogTags: A majority of the Ophiuchian peacekeepers appear to be this, having served in the Reservoir War and now acting as an international policing authority.
32	* BitchSlap: Delivered by Atienna to Cadence after the latter makes some very, very, very poor and selfish choices in Part 2. Atienna delivers another to [[spoiler: Scorpio during the escape arc.]]
33	* BromanticFoil: Gilbert to Werner, Nico to Cadence, and Claire to Olive.
34	* ChildSoldier: Jericho, Werner, Capricornian soldiers.
35	* CloseCallHaircut: Omicron escapes death by a narrow margin when facing off against Jericho. Instead of having her entire body disintegrated in their fight, her long hair is partially instead.
36	* ColdSniper: Werner, although recent chapters indicate that he's this way because he's adapted himself to the expectations of other and he's actually pretty [[BeneathTheMask dependable]] and [[{{Kuudere}} kind]].
37	* CloudCuckooLander: Maria. Just. Maria. And Veles too. [[spoiler: There's a surprising reason behind this.]]
38	* ContagiousHeroism: Arguably, Olive is the most morally white of the main six characters although he has a lot of naivety paired with it. Due to the nature of [[PsychicLink their connection]], the amoral members of the group gradually start to become by his sense of morals.
39	* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: Werner does this a lot for the others. Once for Olive during the climax of Part 2 while executing an assassin, and another time for Cadence when taking her place in a [[BoundAndGagged beatdown]].
40	* CurbStompBattle: Anything with Jericho or Maria.
41	* DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler: This is what happens to people who become initiated via resistor and become ELPIS leaders. As their vitae/memories/souls leaves their bodies, the ELPIS leader's vitae enters and effectively forces the ELPIS leader's memories into the person. This forces the person to essentially become the ELPIS leader that's being initiated.]]
42	* DieselPunk {{Fantasy}}: The story is sent in a science fantasy world reminiscent of post-WWI and pre-WWII.
43	* ElementalPowers: Elementalists either have vitae that can take on the property of the elements (intraneous) or they can control the vitae particles in elements (extraneous). The elements that can be conducted and are listed in the story so far are fire, air, earth, water.
44	* FamilyOfChoice
45	* FemmeFatale: Alma. Cadence is aware of this but still is heads-over-heels.
46	* FemmeFataleSpy: [[spoiler: Cvetka Akulova.]]
47	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Anyone who gets initiated into ELPIS as a leader. Also [[spoiler:Anyone who gets baptized into a Saint Candidate]]. Worst of all, [[spoiler: anyone who gets amalgamated into elevated vitae.]]
48	* GenderEqualEnsemble: The main six characters.
49	* GenocideSurvivor: Jericho appears to be the lone survivor of his nomadic group that survived an attack by ELPIS.
50	* GhostMemory
51	* HostageSituation: ELPIS, a terrorist organization, captures several crime leaders in Twin Cities to try and get the location of a hidden vitae reservoir in the city in Part 2. This leads to an interesting discussion on domestic and international terrorism between the two groups.
52	* LossOfIdentity: Played with in the mixing of memories and feelings experienced by True Conductors and [[spoiler: ELPIS leaders]].
53	* MagiTek: What conductors which are fueled by an energy source called vitae are.
54	* MasterOfIllusion: Cadence Morello, who uses her ability as an extraneous Transmutationist to take on the appearance of whoever she wants. It pairs well with her [[ConMan profession]] and personality.
55	* MobWar: The culmination of Part 2. Or so it seems.
56	* MoreThanMindControl: The backbone of Part 3. As [[spoiler: Scorpio]] constantly repeats, he's just helping the people he infects pursue their passions
57	* OneHitKill: Jericho's Diverger-conducting ability allows him to do this.
58	* PsychicLink: Basically what happens to True Conductors.
59	* RevengeBeforeReason: Jericho tends to charge right into sticky situations if it involves ELPIS. To be fair, his [[SuperpowerLottery Diverger-conducting ability]] makes him stick it out pretty well. Thankfully, when it gets tough the others manage to talk reason into him.
60	* {{Telepathy}}
61	* {{Teleportation}}: [[spoiler: Theta]] can do this although there is a [[EquivalentExchange price to pay]]. Although they usually use it for travel, due to a [[LossOfIdentity certain event]], they are now more inclined to use if for [[WeaponizedTeleportation physical combat]].
62	* TheMafia: The Foxman Family, the Campana Family, and the Romano Family are all crime organizations that operate in the Twin Cities of Gemini. Their activities range from selling [[ArmsDealer modified magical weapons]], [[VenturousSmuggler smuggling said weapons]], [[LoanShark charging people rent]], and even [[spoiler: selling Diverger children]].
63	* ThereAreNoCoincidences: The story plays by this rule. [[ConspiracyTheorist Talib Al-Jarrah]] thinks like this.
64	* {{Transmutation}}: What Transmutationists can basically do. According to the author, intraneous users can rearrange their own vitae particles, while extraneous users can rearrange vitae particles hooked to certain objects
65	* TranquilFury: Jericho whenever he encounters members of ELPIS. He beats the crap out of them [[spoiler: and sometimes even kills them]] but he does it with deadpan and without shouting.
