WARNING: All spoilers are unmarked. If you haven't read the story, continue reading at your own discretion.
- All Bikers are Hells Angels: Averted; not only are the Motorvators completely squeaky-clean and peaceful, but they're also one of the friendliest groups in the story.
- Badass Biker: There are very few exceptions to this rule among the Motorvators, but special mention goes to Otis and Rick with regards to this trope.
- The Engineer: They don't just ride around on motorcycles; they build and sell them.
- Good Samaritan: To boot, the Motorvators frequently engage in charity events.
- Mixed Animal Species Team: They're comprised of a variety of species, even though wolves represent a small majority. Nevertheless, they don't concern themselves with identity politics, believing anyone who wishes to join may promptly do so.

- A Father to His Men: He interacts very freely with his fellow club-members, maintaining his authority through humbly associating himself with them.
- Gentle Giant: Even though he towers over pretty much everyone in his club, he's down-to-earth, respectful and polite to everyone, especially Milo.

- Honorable Elephant: Being a Benevolent Boss, A Father to His Men and an all-round Nice Guy, Otis epitomizes this trope in the fanfic.

- Nice Guy: Generally kind, wholesome and selfless; he and Milo seem to be getting along especially swimmingly.

Rick Hobbes
The Bouncin' Big Cat
A tiger, trainer of the Pink Elephant Pub's bouncers and one of the older Motorvators, even though he's considerably younger than Otis.
- Bouncer: His fitness is telling enough, and given how he mentioned training Milo, he trains other bouncers in the Pink Elephant Pub.
- Brutal Honesty: Rick is completely unapologetic when it comes to pointing out the truth, regardless of how the truth makes one feel.
- Cats Are Snarkers: Rick is very sassy and sardonic, especially when dressing down someone who's being a fool.
- Cool Shades: He's mentioned as wearing a pair when he enters the Pink Elephant Pub.
- Dark Is Not Evil: He wears a black jacket adorned with small spikes on the edges of the sleeves and the collar and is a menacing, muscular tiger, but his heart being in the right place is hardly congruent with this exterior.
- Hates Being Touched: Oddly enough for a member of the cat family, he is averse to physical affection to the point of telling people off when they do so.
- Hunk: He's described as a tall, strapping tiger.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's edgy, snarky and downright unapologetic, but nevertheless has a genuine desire for goodness and seeing others prosper. Him being proud of Milo after his ascent at work is telling enough.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: As seen above, he has quite a pronounced chin.
- Panthera Awesome: Being one of the largest cats in the world, the tiger, and a muscle-bound one who has trained martial arts at that, who's also a biker, Rick is a textbook example.
- Shout-Out: Where else did you find a tiger named Hobbes?
- Spikes of Villainy: Inverted; he may have a spiked jacket, but is a heroic character.

- Deadpan Snarker: Silas never misses the chance to make an off-handed remark about something he finds stupid.

- Southern-Fried Genius: He speaks with a thick Southern drawl; the genius comes from being very well-versed with motorcycle mechanics.
Kenny Baird
A grizzly bear, who also works as the bartender of the Pink Elephant Pub.
- Beary Friendly: An exception to the norm compared to bears seen in the film, Kenny is gracious, fun-loving and welcoming.
- Good Is Not Soft: Once some social justice warriors become too adamant in their moral hectoring (without reason or basis, by the way), Kenny sees that there's nothing he can do right in their eyes, and orders Bulwark to throw them out.
- Nice Guy: Kind, polite and helpful.
The Timberlakes
A group of wolf siblings, so far comprised of Dave, Joey and June.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Dave is easily the weirdest of the group, being mute and speaking to people only with bass lines, and he has one for everybody he knows.
