* AmnesiacGod: [[spoiler:It's quite likely that Chuubo is an [[TabletopGame/{{Nobilis}} Aaron's Serpent]], or a river dragon or something equally strange and powerful. In any case it's likely that for one reason or another he decided to become an ordinary boy. His story-line in the Glass-Maker's Dragon campaign is partially centered around exploring his connection to this identity]].

* TheHeart: WordOfGod suggests that she's probably going to be the group's "social glue". Begins with a free Level 1 Connection to every other player character at the beginning of the game, no matter how grumpy their disposition.

* HidingBehindYourBangs: Most art depicts him as having his right eye covered by his bangs, as the emo version of the trope. However, it also reflects the deceptive variety, showing that he's hiding his true nature. [[spoiler:It might also represent the second variety of a veil, since Leonardo is a supernaturally powerful and knowledgeable FallenAngel]].

* RealityWarper: Unconsciously. His dreams were turned to worms and rot as a consequence of binding a blasphemy, spill out into reality if he's not careful, and an entire Nightmare World came to be from them.



* YourWorstNightmare: As his title well suggests. His dreams were turned to worms and rot as a consequence of binding a blasphemy. This is bad enough that his nightmares spill out into reality if he's not careful, and that an entire Nightmare World came to be from them. His story-line in the Glass-Maker's Dragon is partly based around this.
** In other campaigns, his dreams became fire and suffering instead.

Trope has been merged with New Powers As The Plot Demands. Removing for not fitting the definition.


* WingPull: He could sprout wings of blood and feathers, if he was willing to deal with the implications of being able to do that. Due to being a use of his Supreme Invocation ability, he's likely to reveal them very infrequently, or as a resolution to an Issue, thus fitting the trope even more.

* WeirdnessCensor: His [[PerceptionFilter/{{"Ordinary" Affliction}}]] doesn't just force people to think of him as normal and overlook his supernatural abilities, it actively shifts the goalposts of normal in Town to include whatever Chuubo happens to be doing. The reason Chuubo doesn't get bullied much in School is because his geeky hobbies surrounding comics, games, and trading cards fall under its jurisdiction.

* TheAce: Her primary powerset.

powerset. As a general rule, she's about on par with someone like ComicBook/{{Batman}}.
* ActionGirlActionGirl: If actual combat needs to be done, which is rare but not unheard of in Pastoral games,



* BadassNormal: Well, as normal as GMD characters get. She's not an angel, a demigod, a reborn figure of myth, a good HumanoidAbomination, or anything of the sort; she's just a teenage girl with trauma and near-superhuman skills. Averted with Natalie Coutourier, though, because that version is a vampire.



* TeachHimAnger: A variation. Her first Quest is to actually find her anger, which has escaped from her chest in the form of a golden snake, and get it back.



* DarkIsNotEvil

to:

* DarkIsNotEvilDarkIsNotEvil: Tremendous destructive power and a dark, generally gothic design, but no more evil than any of the others and probably nicer than Leonardo.



* NervousWreck: In a relatively subdued way. Miramie spends a lot of her life stressed out and worrying about something, usually money - even though she lives in [[{{Arcadia}} Fortitude]], a place where it's both impossible to be so rich that people won't judge you, and where a teenage girl is ''not'' going to be left to starve in a gutter.

-->''You're the light of hope now. You've got to do your mother's job. That means shining on the darkness in people's lives - not necessarily to fix them, but to give that darkness a bit of the endless light and warmth that you have inside you.''
