The Ace: Ace starts this way, in relation to Kitty, but it gets deconstructed when Mittens proves to be an even better commander than Ace, and he winds up in a Heroic BSOD.
All There in the Manual: Thus far, the name of CK's ship, has only been revealed in a lone response on the Facebook Page. It's called the CC Pomatus, by the way.
Evil Twin: The characters who Kitty and Co. would appear to be fighting every time the server returned from downtime were apparently evil versions from a Mirror Universe. How did we know that they were the evil ones? Because Mirror Kitty had a goatee.
Failed a Spot Check: Ace, at first, is oblivious to Zenith's planetwide brainwashing. But he eventually comes around.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Commander is a cowardly egotistical Jerk Ass for the large part, but he shows some genuine camaraderie to his team when it's due. Nin Wah is a light example, she's rough around the edges but otherwise makes friends with the team surprisingly quick.
Just a Machine: The general opinion the galaxy seems to have of robots, given how characters react to Mecha Nin Wah and Zenith's current states.
Kangaroo Court: Nin Wah was instantly found guilty for smuggling, kidnapping and terrorism, was given a trial by media at the same time, and sentenced to 15 minutes of community service (cleaning up the station outside.) Due to budget cutbacks, they wouldn't provide a space suit, making it really a death penalty. Naturally, they didn't have much of a budget to attempt a recovery operation, constraining it to just two warning shots.
Non Sequitur Thud: Fluffy would kind of reset for a few minutes if asked a non-sequitur question, with a physical thud. Sadly, there's no examples online since the reboot.
Only Sane Man: Surprisingly, Kitty himself gains this role during the Zenith arc, being the only one to think to just yank out the hard drive with the galaxy's population on it and wanting to plan their escape while everyone insisted he get a new outfit.
Police Are Useless: The Triple-I kinda zigzag on this, being competent to pose a threat to the heroes, but useless against the real threat. Justified by the majority wearing iKnows.
The Pollyanna: Ace, surprisingly. Despite looking for all the world like Han Solo if he were a cartoon cat, he often has an almost childlike optimism about everything, from the prospect of meeting a Jerk Ass like CK to being completely oblivious to creepy crowds calling his arrival.
Similar Squad: The Velvet Knight, run by Ace. Ace is charming, liked, and respected by his crew, and has a reputation as a spacer who can get the job done. In short, he's everything Kitty wishes to be but just isn't. Needless to say, Kitty doesn't like him one bit.
Unwilling Roboticisation: The Tagged (or rather, clones thereof. Yes, instead of directly creating androids from scratch, the Zenith project makes clones with are later roboticized on the fly)
is a weekly Web Comic by Scotty Arsenault featuring the misadventures of a cast of Funny Animals IN SPACE!Commander Kitty is an aspiring spacer, always on the lookout for ways to make a name for himself in the annals of space history, but with his resources consisting of a ship that barely holds together, a barely competent helmsman, an engineer that speaks in fluent gibberish, a little girl who's on his ship for no discernable reason, a cut-rate teleporter he doesn't have a license for, and the most user-unfriendly AI imaginable in charge of everything, it doesn't look like he's going to get there any time soon.Meanwhile, after a job gone bad separates her from her crew and gets her arrested by the Triple-I, rogue spacer Nin Wah is summarily thrown out the airlock and saved only by a chance teleporter accident that puts her on board CK's ship. She's not happy with being shanghaied into his crew of fools, but once she learns he's going to team up with Ace and his Velvet Knight crew for a job, she plays along...if only for a chance at joining up with the greatest spacer crew in the galaxy.Little do any of them realize that the villain who lured Nin Wah's crew into a trap is still at large, and the key to her plans of galactic conquest is a certain legendary spacer's brain!
