39	%%* MixAndMatchCritters: just what the heck is with ''that'' dog + lamp post blight?
40	%%* MoodWhiplash: happens rather often because of the different writing styles of the rplayers.
41	%%* MuseumOfTheStrangeAndUnusual: Not that anyone knows it, but the Herston Public Museum and Library is actually a store for many ether artefacts.
42	%%* NotQuiteDead : The Train blight, at one point. Thankfully, that was soon amended.
43	%%* OhCrap: several characters do this at various times.
44	%%* OurSoulsAreDifferent
45	%%* PublicDomainCharacter: the [=NPCs=], sort of.
46	%%* RashomonStyle: because this is a sort-of-like-RP, with a cast main by different people, the posts read like that.
47	%%* SchizoTech: the panzers are supposed to be much more technologically advanced, yet their weapons are modelled after existing human ones. It is explained by the panzers [[MST3KMantra being fans of human weapons]].

62	%%* UnreliableNarrator: justified since the characters are main by different people.
63	%%* VampiricDraining: all blights do this to absorb ether.
64	%%* WorldOfHam

97	%%* ClusterFBomb
98	%%* ConvenientlyOrphaned: though he is already an adult.
99	%%* NonActionGuy
100
101	%%!! Redmist

115	%%* NaiveNewcomer: more so than the other crossers.
116	%%* OlderThanTheyLook
117
118	%%!! Lilia Auen
119	%%An experienced crosser. Her linked stray is Leuel.
120	%%* ActionGirl
121	%%* CoolBigSis[=/=]TeamMom
122	%%* GirlyGirl: as much as a skilled crosser could be anyway

140
141	!! KAITOU
142	Professional "Good-for-Nothing". A strange fellow who is cursed, and can [[SummonMagic summon]] occult minions to do his bidding.
143	* AdorableEvilMinions: The bulk of KAITOU's summons are these. They're individually weak, and mostly rely on [[ZergRush sheer numbers]] to [[DeathOfAThousandCuts overwhelm]] the enemy.
144	* AwesomeMcCoolname: Spells his name deliberately in [[CapitalLettersAreMagic all caps]]. He has also slew of [[IHaveManyNames other pseudonyms]] for when "KAITOU" just won't cut it.
145	%%* CheshireCatGrin
146	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
147	* CursedWithAwesome: KAITOU is afflicted with a "curse" that allows him to (among other things) walk up [[WallCrawl walls]] and [[CeilingCling ceilings]], turn [[{{Invisibility}} invisible]] for a short time, and [[SuperSenses see in infrared]]. It's no wonder he [[{{Unishment}} doesn't mind it much]].
148	* DarkIsNotEvil: Both KAITOU himself and the nature of his abilities can be rather creepy, but he's actually [[NiceGuy not that bad of a guy]].
149	* DetectEvil: KAITOU's powers allow him to detect the source of myths and folklore; the [[IdiotHair loose strand of hair]] on his head perks up whenever he senses their presence.
150	** A secondary effect is the ability to tell when someone is [[LivingLieDetector lying]], as "Lies are technically myths, too; [[MetaphoricallyTrue just smaller]]".
151	* {{Expy}}: Literally. KAITOU is a character carried over from an old, abandoned incarnation of Lamentable Nights. He is, in fact, the same character from the [[AlternateUniverse old RP]] who encountered a [[CruelTwistEnding bad end]] and was left to die in a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds dimensional rift]], but somehow wound up being [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped]] in this world instead.
152	* LightmareFuel: One of KAITOU's minions is a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]]-wielding monster, but it's completely incompetent at fighting and is actually quite friendly.
153	* MadnessMakeover: KAITOU was once a pretty different guy. Then [[EverybodysDeadDave something]] happened, causing him to [[DespairEventHorizon snap]] completely. Surprisingly, this actually changed him for the better.
154	* NightmareFetishist: KAITOU has a borderline fanatic [[AdmiringTheAbomination love]] for urban legends, usually of the spookier, dangerously occult kind.
155	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
156	* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Sen, one of KAITOU's summons, is one of these.
157	%%* TheMinionMaster
158	* WeaksauceWeakness: KAITOU has a debilitating sensitivity to the cold. He wears a winter coat in the middle of summer and still complains about being chilly.

209	%%* MrExposition: to Martin, Alex, and Sanae.
210	%%* OneLetterName: his old name, M, an abbreviation of Mad Hooder.
211	%%* OnlySaneMan: despite his old name, Makoto, who is main by the same rplayer as the other [[OnlySaneMan only sane woman]], is this.
212
213	%%!! Threads
214	%%* ImprobableAccessoryEffect: due to the different intentions behind the different items Threads puts on.
