- Good Morning Chrono: The story starts with Ben waking up for a normal day of school.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: Pierce is by far the strongest of the team, but constantly underestimates himself, shrinks back from glory, and often lets it get in the way of acting decisively resulting in his own death

- Rubber Forehead Aliens: Tauriens are Seven feet tall, Golden, and have funny eyes.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Devon is quiet, generally kind, well meaning, a little shy, and Neutral Good. Billy is loud, rarely even tries to be nice really, and swings between Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil, and a bit near the end, Lawful Evil / Lawful Neutral, sometimes nearing Complete Monster territory.
