I\\\'m namespacing the Main/ links and doing some crosswicking while I\\\'m at it. Anything that I\\\'m not certain whether it fits or not, is a ZeroContextExample, or seems poorly written will be posted here.
* AffablyEvil -- ([[http://www.talesofmu.com/story/other/silver-tongued-charmer this]]): \\\"Few people mistake a noble dragon for a nice one more than once.\\\"
* ApologizesALot -- Dee is anything but a {{Dojikko}}, but she apologizes at the drop of a cowl.
* ArbitrarySkepticism -- Jamie from \\\'\\\'More Tales Of MU\\\'\\\' has a habit of dismissing as ludicrous rumors that readers of the main story know to be true.
* ArtisticLicenseEconomics -- Delvers\\\" (adventurers) have one of the highest tax-liabilities in the Imperium, but delving gear is tax-deductible. This encourages delvers to keep most of their wealth in the form of high-end magic items rather than simply flooding the economy with excess gold.
* EmbarrassingTattoo -- Mackenzie lets Amaranth write \\\"Nymph\\\'s Toy\\\" on her forehead in magical marker (like permanent marker, apparently, except that you \\\'\\\'can\\\'t wash it off\\\'\\\' or get rid of it by anything but magic (or, presumably, self-mutilation). Naturally, this happens \\\'\\\'right\\\'\\\' before they head out to the college town for the first time; Mackenzie very quickly goes from acting naturally about it (because she forgot it was there) to being mortified once she realizes \\\'\\\'why\\\'\\\' everyone is staring at her.
* FantasticAesop -- While prejudices exist against most non-human species in a manner clearly resembling real racism, a few of those discriminated against are [[ImAHumanitarian literal man-eaters]] by dietary preference or culture. (Though nobody dares to discriminate against dragons on this basis.)
* FantasticArousal -- For [[{{Hobbits}} Shirelings]], it\\\'s strongly implied to be the \\\'\\\'feet\\\'\\\'.
* FatalFamilyPhoto -- Steff {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this in chapter 495 when Mack mentions that she prefers the stories of individuals in history to the stories of big battles, in reference to the games of [[TabletopGames Stone]] [[TurnBasedStrategy Soldiers]] Steff, Ian, Shiel, and Dee are playing.
-->So give the little people names and make sure you have one of them tell the others about his girl back home just before you move them into arbalest range,[...]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble -- Mack (melancholic), Amaranth (sanguine), Steff (choleric), and Two (phlegmatic). Ian and Dee are both strong candidates for leukine.
* FreudianExcuse: Steff.
-->Don\\\'t you think I\\\'ve earned a chance to be the one at the top of the shitheap for a while? Three more years and then nobody\\\'s going to fuck with me, ever again.
* HairTriggerTemper:
** Protagonist Mack is prone to [[CuteButCacophonic unnecessary shouting]] and pointless argumentation is a strange hybrid of this and ExtremeDoormat depending on who is around her. [[CharacterDevelopment She has moved away from this as the series goes on]], but still occasionally snaps and yells with little provocation.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation -- Mackenzie abhors violence, to the point that she\\\'d rather die or get raped than risk hurting her attacker. Her compassion, empathy, and acceptance are borderline [[TheMessiah Messianic]]. She abjectly refuses to believe she is anything but irredeemably evil.
** Well yeah, you get a lot of that drilled into your head when [[spoiler: your father is a \\\'\\\'demon\\\'\\\' and your caretaker is a \\\'\\\'demon hunter\\\'\\\']]. Not to mention that she has more {{Berserk Button}}s than [[TheHulk Bruce Banner.]]
* JerkassGods -- Lord Khersis once smote a confused little girl who was praying to him for guidance just because she was half-demon. And he\\\'s one of the nicer deities.
* ImmortalityBisexuality -- Elves commonly use homosexuality as a form of birth control.
* ImmortalProcreationClause -- Elves are true immortals in terms of lifespan, and generally quite sexually potent as part of their being [[OurElvesAreBetter better than everybody]]. They keep their birth rate low by doing things that don\\\'t produce children.
* InformedAbility -- Amaranth seems to border on having {{Informed Flaw}}s. WordOfGod is that if the author had wanted to write a MarySue, it would have been Amaranth without the flaws. The problem is that while Amaranth\\\'s perspective on some matters is clearly skewed, her actual effect on the storyline is always extremely positive.
** Indeed, even her informed flaws are that she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' perfect. She\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' as genius-level smart as she thinks she is, she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' perfectly adjusted, and she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' as sensitive and empathetic as someone perfect would be. Saying Amaranth has flaws is like saying that an M&M is less chocolatey than a Hershey\\\'s Kiss.
* MindOverManners -- Played straight with the telepathic priestess Dee. Subverted with \\\"delicate blossom\\\" Violet, who was raised by hippies and has [[NoSocialSkills no sense of boundaries.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil -- A politicized kobold gets to put the case against \\\"delving and discovery\\\" (i.e. dungeon raiding) in \\\'\\\'Literature/TalesOfMU\\\'\\\'. Magisterius University does, of course, have a big D&D faculty.
* WackyCollege
* WrongContextMagic -- The story runs on this, where the laws of magic will change if they detect someone trying to figure them out. In-universe, science is a heavily discredited pseudo-, uh, \\\'\\\'science\\\'\\\', much like people who believe in AllNaturalSnakeOil in the real world. How, then, does the heavy use of {{Magitek}} work, in-universe? \\\'\\\'Carefully\\\'\\\'. Examining a complex spell too closely can break it. Since the local equivalent of television works in a way that no one believes \\\'\\\'should\\\'\\\' work, people are afraid to look too deeply into why for fear that it suddenly won\\\'t.

** Well yeah, you get a lot of that drilled into your head when [[spoiler: your father is a \\\'\\\'demon\\\'\\\' and your caretaker is a \\\'\\\'demon hunter\\\'\\\']]. Not to mention that she has more {{Berserk Button}}s than [[TheHulk Bruce Banner.]]
* JerkassGods -- Lord Khersis once smote a confused little girl who was praying to him for guidance just because she was half-demon. And he\\\'s one of the nicer deities.
* ImmortalityBisexuality -- Elves commonly use homosexuality as a form of birth control.
* ImmortalProcreationClause -- Elves are true immortals in terms of lifespan, and generally quite sexually potent as part of their being [[OurElvesAreBetter better than everybody]]. They keep their birth rate low by doing things that don\\\'t produce children.
* InformedAbility -- Amaranth seems to border on having {{Informed Flaw}}s. WordOfGod is that if the author had wanted to write a MarySue, it would have been Amaranth without the flaws. The problem is that while Amaranth\\\'s perspective on some matters is clearly skewed, her actual effect on the storyline is always extremely positive.
** Indeed, even her informed flaws are that she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' perfect. She\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' as genius-level smart as she thinks she is, she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' perfectly adjusted, and she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' as sensitive and empathetic as someone perfect would be. Saying Amaranth has flaws is like saying that an M&M is less chocolatey than a Hershey\\\'s Kiss.
* MindOverManners -- Played straight with the telepathic priestess Dee. Subverted with \\\"delicate blossom\\\" Violet, who was raised by hippies and has [[NoSocialSkills no sense of boundaries.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil -- A politicized kobold gets to put the case against \\\"delving and discovery\\\" (i.e. dungeon raiding) in \\\'\\\'Literature/TalesOfMU\\\'\\\'. Magisterius University does, of course, have a big D&D faculty.
* WackyCollege
* WrongContextMagic -- The story runs on this, where the laws of magic will change if they detect someone trying to figure them out. In-universe, science is a heavily discredited pseudo-, uh, \\\'\\\'science\\\'\\\', much like people who believe in AllNaturalSnakeOil in the real world. How, then, does the heavy use of {{Magitek}} work, in-universe? \\\'\\\'Carefully\\\'\\\'. Examining a complex spell too closely can break it. Since the local equivalent of television works in a way that no one believes \\\'\\\'should\\\'\\\' work, people are afraid to look too deeply into why for fear that it suddenly won\\\'t.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation -- Mackenzie abhors violence, to the point that she\\\'d rather die or get raped than risk hurting her attacker. Her compassion, empathy, and acceptance are borderline [[TheMessiah Messianic]]. She abjectly refuses to believe she is anything but irredeemably evil.

* ImmortalProcreationClause -- Elves are true immortals in terms of lifespan, and generally quite sexually potent as part of their being [[OurElvesAreBetter better than everybody]]. They keep their birth rate low by doing things that don\\\'t produce children.
* InformedAbility -- Amaranth seems to border on having {{Informed Flaw}}s. WordOfGod is that if the author had wanted to write a MarySue, it would have been Amaranth without the flaws. The problem is that while Amaranth\\\'s perspective on some matters is clearly skewed, her actual effect on the storyline is always extremely positive.
** Indeed, even her informed flaws are that she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' perfect. She\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' as genius-level smart as she thinks she is, she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' perfectly adjusted, and she\\\'s not \\\'\\\'quite\\\'\\\' as sensitive and empathetic as someone perfect would be.
