* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: This was the basis of their philosophy and research. They were obsessed with the possibility of bringing dreams to life and altering reality with imagination.


Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneHasStandards: Inverted. The Aeorian mages were engaged in all kinds of strange arcane research, but even they thought the Somnovem were a bunch of crackpots. Devexian comments that they and Cognuza being the only parts of Aeor to survive the Calamity is one of history's cruelest jokes.


Added DiffLines:

* FusionDance: The psychic storm they encountered in the Astral Plane forcibly merged them with each other and with the city itself, turning them into a twisted monstrosity.


Added DiffLines:

* WasOnceAMan: They were once a group of philosophers and mages who belonged to the various mortal races before the horrific FusionDance they experienced. The Somnovem's entry on [[https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Somnovem the Critical Role Wiki]] provides links to the individual members, along with fan art speculation of what they might have looked like.

official arc name


* ArcVillain: Of "Orphanmaker's Ordeal" and "Against the Chains" arcs. Aside from being the first true recurring bad guy of the Nein’s story, he notably takes a much more background role than Vox Machina’s foes, as he has a much smaller presence, and the Nein has personal quests to do at the same time.

Added DiffLines:

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Downplayed. Lucien genuinely does know many things about the events occurring, but likes to give everyone the impression that he is aware of ''everything''. However, he becomes aggravated if people refuse to fall for his act, such as when Beau points out his bad directions are what got everyone lost in a blizzard.

Added DiffLines:

* XanatosGambit: Downplayed. While not entirely covering every contingency, his plan while the Mighty Nein chase him into [[spoiler:Cognouza means that whether they live or die he still benefits, as even in the case that they catch up to him then he can use them to distract the Somnovem and takeover]].

* EvilCostumeSwitch: After reviving as himself, he ditches Molly's flamboyant style of dress for a considerably more low-key look. Molly's coat being found abandoned in the dirt is the first hint that Lucien was the one resurrected.

None

Added DiffLines:

* {{Reincarnation}}: In a weird way. [[spoiler:When he dies, he doesn't tend to come back to life as the same person. Rather, Lucien's body was killed and his soul was shattered, but a fragment remained and was revived as Molly, a separate person altogether. Following Molly's death Lucien came back as himself, but after another death and another resurrection, the tiefling became another individual known as Kingsley]].

* AmazonChaser: His lover [[spoiler:before her death]] was Brevyn, a half-goliath woman who was with him and Cree throughout their time in the Claret Orders and the early days of the Tomb Takers. The way he describes her in ''[[Literature/CriticalRoleTheMightyNeinTheNineEyesOfLucien The Nine Eyes of Lucien]]'', he was clearly smitten with both [[AmazonianBeauty her strength and her beauty]].


Added DiffLines:

** For Yasha, this was especially true when he first recruited her. In the ''[[ComicBook/CriticalRole Mighty Nein Origins]]'' comic, she was hurting so badly from losing both her beloved and her tribe that she surrendered her will to him just so she wouldn't have to think for herself anymore.
