* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Picard in particular. He keeps wanting the campaign to be about detective mysteries. Data subverts this trope after first creating a character much like himself, he creates the fiery redheaded rebel Major Kira and actually does a good job playing her.
** Miles and Keiko originally played this extremely straight by creating future versions of themselves, then subverted it when they decided to swap and play each other.
