* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The Lu'Shun.

* RealityEnsues: All the time. As the author states: Exemplary or no, the protagonist is a fourteen-year-old student just entering training. Some things are just beyond their level. There are ''very'' narrow margins of error that can sometimes scrape you a win via UnskilledButStrong, but most of the time you won't be performing mind-blowing feats.
** Trying to resist a teacher's mind-probe? Unless you're a Telepath with maxed Rosin, they'll shred through your novice mental defenses. Even if you are, you can't lie to them, just muddy things up enough that they can't get definitive answers. You can't even muster up that against the Headmaster, who always sees through any lies you tell him.
** [[spoiler:You will ''never'' defeat the dragon wraith and survive, as one of the most powerful demons in the Pit can swat a newly trained teenager like a fly. The best you can do is free Illyan and have ''her'' handle it, or go for a MutualKill.]]
** If you [[spoiler:freed Illyan]] in the first game, ''everyone'' (save your friends) is more suspicious of you in the second. It doesn't matter that it was in the interest of survival, you still [[spoiler:freed a criminal during a terrorist attack.]]
** The (thankfully optional) fight with Clay [[spoiler:or Sem]] will almost always result in you getting your ass kicked, because he's been dueling for years [[spoiler:and in Sem's case, is a powerful Ice Mage on top of that.]]
** [[spoiler:Killing Jun results in you being arrested and scheduled for trial. Sem's was at least a clear case of self-defense, but you kill Jun so brutally (as you must have high Red to trigger the boss fight) that it shoots holes in your testimony.]]

* ButNotTooEvil: What you have to be if you follow the RED path; raising the score too high usually leads to a NonStandardGameOver. [[spoiler:Of particular note is Jun's [[ThatOneBoss boss battle]] in the second game, which only happens with a RED above 70.]]
* ClearMyName: [[spoiler:What Semryu and the Protagonist are trying to do for Illyan.]]

* BadDreams[=/=]DreamSpying: The protagonist had very vivid dreams about war, death, and Red worship...
** DreamingOfTimesGoneBy[=/=]DreamingOfThingsToCome: And since the PC never really talks about it with anyone, they're not sure if these are dreams/visions of events in the past or in the future.

* PettingZooPeople: The Ki'ra are an entire race of these.

* SadistTeacher: Master Cael. He's racist against Exemplaries, uses any excuse he can to fail them, and deliberately gives them harder assignments or tests.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:It's possible for the Protagonist to be resurrected if they die during the course of the game.]]

* [[spoiler:KangarooCourt]]: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that this is being done to Illyan.]]

* SkippableBoss: [[spoiler:If you go with Sem and the Headmaster to visit Illyan, your group will eventually be attacked by a dragon wraith. You can only successfully fight it if you have a high Rosin or Montage score, but there's another option: if you choose to free Illyan from her restraints, she will kill the wraith. However, this requires that you be strong enough to get the restraints off, which may vary depending on previous choices.]]

* RelationshipValues: Not visible on the stats page, but the coding keeps track of two to three of these: your rapport with Jun, your rapport with Sem, and your rapport with your LoveInterest, if you pursue one[[note]]with the exception of Sem, whose relationships status is tracked by his original "rapport" variable[[/note]]. Even if you get them above or below a certain point, they aren't necessarily ''set'' there--being friends with Jun or Sem and having it drop too low makes them be done with you, for example.

* RealityEnsues: All the time. As the author states: Exemplary or no, the protagonist is a fourteen-year-old student just entering training. There are ''very'' narrow margins of error that can sometimes scrape you a win via UnskilledButStrong, but most of the time you won't be performing mind-blowing feats.

** Trying to resist a teacher's mind-probe? Unless you're a Telepath with maxed Rosin, they'll shred through your novice mental defenses, and the Headmaster will always see through any lies you tell him.
** If you're friends with Jun but treat them badly, they eventually tell you they're done with you. Nobody wants to be in a toxic friendship, after all.

** [[spoiler:You will ''never'' defeat the dragon wraith, as one of the most powerful demons in the Pit can swat a newly trained teenager like a fly. The best you can do is free Illyan and have ''her'' handle it.]]
** The ([[ThatOneBoss thankfully optional]]) fights with Clay [[spoiler:or Sem]] will almost always result in you getting your ass kicked, because he's been dueling for years [[spoiler:and in Sem's case, is a powerful Ice Mage on top of that.]]
