* NoSell: Since her power creates actual flesh-and-blood entities, rather than spiritual projections, abilities like Noah's spirit sense, Fuuka's spirit cutter, and Jamal's spiritual time stop are useless against them and they aren't shut down by black crystal. The only uses magic is able to present against the nightmares are that they can be sensed in the moment they manifest in reality, and in its use to cause direct bodily harm to them.
* PowerIncontinence: Chernyl is not known to have any control over her power and has been manifesting her nightmares since she was a small child.

* AntiMagic: Magical abilities all seem to fail against him. Not just Goldman's spirit attacks, but also Evyle's MagicallyBindingContract have no effect on him. It's implied that Burk is an esper of some sort.


Added DiffLines:

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Burk has on several occassions been right in things like what lead to follow for little discernable reason, such as focusing on the talking cats in Eddstadt over the more overt conspiracies. It turns out they are a key piece of the puzzle, but not for the reasons Burk seems to think. It happens enough that other characters sometimes speculate that he knows more than he lets on and is just engaging in ObfuscatingStupidity.

* BigBad: She's the true threat of in the Haven arc of Noah's story. When Malhart is taken out, she swiftly turns the entire city into a waking nightmare.
* EyeMotifs: Malhart's defeat reveals that her power has covered nearly every building in Haven in eyes, through which either she or some other intelligence guiding her nightmares seems to be able to actually see.
* GasLeakCoverUp: The thousands upon thousands of deaths she caused as a small child were passed off to the country as a plague.
* GodzillaThreshold: She's one at least twice over.
** Her powers being unleashed prompt the army and Royal Guard to get the Secret Police involved in hopes of further aid, even knowing what a pain in the ass they are and that they can have anyone killed at any time for any reason.
** The Secret Police knew about her and have a contingency plan for if her powers are ever let loose: Destroy all of Haven with a [[FantasticNuke Red Mushroom bomb]]. It's only the promise of a non-city-leveling option and their own potential political posturing, plus the communications blackout the nightmare has imposed, that prompts them to consider Nail's plan. And as the JSP established, if they ever feel Nail's plan won't work, they will immediately fall back on their initial plan.
* ItCanThink: Her nightmares are not as initially assumed, purely unthinking beasts, but are capable of more sophisticated reasoning, such as targeting Ms Veda as the leader of the forces seeking to to stop them first.
* NiceDayDeadlyNight: When she was a small child, she could only manifest her nightmares at night, while the day remained safe.
* TheNightThatNeverEnds: As a teenager however, she is free of any such restriction and is able to plunge Haven into darkness in the middle of the day, allowing her nightmares to manifest 24/7.
* NoSell: Since her power creates actual flesh-and-blood entities, rather than spiritual projections, abilities like Noah's spirit sense, Fuuka's spirit cutter, and Jamal's spiritual time stop are useless against them and they aren't shut down by black crystal. The only uses magic is able to present against the nightmares are that they can be sensed in the moment they manifest in reality, and in its use to cause direct bodily harm to them.
* PowerIncontinence: Chernyl is not known to have any control over her power and has been manifesting her nightmares since she was a small child.
* RealityWarper: Her power manifests any and all nightmares she's ever had as completely real. Not as spiritual projections, but as actually real flesh-and-blood creatures.
* RealityWarpingIsNotAToy: Her reality warping seems to be limited strictly into making her nightmares real. Left unchecked, she'd easily destroy all of Justopea without even trying.

* WhoMurderedTheAsshole: He's the first contestant killed in the Smile Foundation Games, and it's hard to say anyone mourns his passing, save his loyal minion Bindy. The other contestants however still have incentive to find his killer because one and only one amongst their group is exempt from the normal rules that prevent killing other contestants, except on rainbow-checkered floors, and thus whoever killed him can also kill anyone else unexpectedly without automatically losing the game (and by extension, their own life).

* Catch22Dilemma: Smiley's special rule is that he's "the Dummy", which means he collects the same monetary reward as whoever comes in first [[spoiler: but cannot share any personal or identifying information, or the terms of his own rule, or else he will be killed instantly.]] When he's put up for an elimination vote, which allows other contestants to ask questions that must be answered truthfully or he will be killed, his only solution is to try to bribe the other players to not ask their questions. When one proves more interested in information than money, he's stuck in an unwinnable situation and is ultimately killed for violating his rule.

* MouthOfSauron: The Smile Foundation can and does take over the voice modulator in his mask and uses it to make announcements when monitors are unavailable.

* BadassNormal:

to:

* BadassNormal:BadassNormal: Burk appears to completely lack any form of magic, be it pandemonium magic, spirit magic, or free magic.


Added DiffLines:

* NoSell: Goldman's abilities all seem to fizzle against Burk, even when he doesn't dodge, with his Golden Bullet that previously took out a Shader failing to do anything, presumably due to Burk's complete lack of magic.


Added DiffLines:

* ClarkesThirdLaw: Tobi's skills with technology, including repairing technology nobody else can, may as well be magic to the people of Lorg. At some point, she decides that it's easier and safer to explain her techno-vision and skills as magic than try to actually explain it, even though she doesn't actually believe in magic (and searches for a more mundane explanation to the abilities possessed by magic users) or even know what it is.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Of group one in the Smile Foundation Games (herself, Fox, and Levin), she's the nice. At no point in any game so far has she backstabbed anyone, including being the only one who ''definitely'' didn't try to dump a competitor into a pit in the first area. Illustrated in the vote to kill or spare Jay-Jay, where she immediately votes to spare her despite not knowing her and even though doing so would add another competitor to the games.


Added DiffLines:

!! Levin
A thoroughly abrasive participant in the Smile Foundation Games.
----
* BadassNormal: Levin has no known magical powers, but is capable of incredible feats of acrobatics and was deemed one of the game's "cleaners", participants who are in some way capable enough that other participants will need their help to make it through and without whom, the games may become unwinnable. Other "cleaners" include Tobi, who has incredible dungeon-crawling experience and unique insight into technology, and Fox, who is a beastman with super-human strength.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Even compared to the other contestants, who are familiar with the general nastiness of Lorg, he stands out as untrustworthy. In the very first round, he attempts to kill his fellow "cleaners" by dropping them in a pit and leaving them to die when the bomb set in their starting area went off.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He seems entirely incapable of realizing that other people aren't as much of selfishm backstabbing jerkasses as he is and that behavior to the contrary is merely cover so they can backstab him (or others) later.
* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to his backstabbing, he's just generally an all-around ass prone to all manner of foul play. As a result of this, when Tobi assigns each participant a hand signal for Three to use to refer to them, Levin's signal is FlippingTheBird.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Of group one (himself, Fox, and Tobi), he's the mean. He's the first to betray the others and leave them for dead, he's constantly a jerkass to everyone, and is constantly out solely for his own enrichment. Illustrated in the vote to kill or spare Jay-Jay, where he quickly votes to kill her.

!! "Fox"
A beatman participating in the Smile Foundation Games.
----
* CuteMonsterGirl: Her normal appearance is that of a girl with fox traits, including one fox ear.
* HairMagic: While it may not strictly be "magic" by the setting's rules, Fox demonstrates the ability to shapeshift her hair and form powerful appendages out of it.
* HairTriggerTemper: An InformedAttribute courtesy of Levin, who seems to believe all beastmen will fly off the handle in a murderous rage at the slightest provocation. For her part, Fox seems somewhat irritable, but not exceptionally so among the Smile Foundation Game group, and the only person to actually provoke her enough to display such rage was Levin himself, who tried to kill her.
* HulkingOut: When enraged, she can assume a much more bestial form. Levin suggests that it takes very little to provoke her into this, but so far he's the only one to provoke her enough to do it, and he left her and Tobi for dead.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Of group one (herself, Tobi, and Levin), she's the in-between to Tobi's nice and Levin's mean. While she also betrays Tobi early on, she shows signs of realizing at least pragmatically that doing so wasn't a good idea and later helps Tobi escape after they defuse the bomb. Illustrated in the vote to kill or spare Jay-Jay, where she votes to abstain while Levin votes to kill and Tobi to spare.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Fox probably isn't her real name and since she hasn't shared said real name, everyone just calls her Fox.
* SuperStrength: Fox is ''incredibly'' strong and demonstrates this multiple times, such as when she comes bursting through a metal barrier after escaping the group one starting area.

* PorkyPigSpeak: While infrequent, she does sometimes fail to pronounce a word a few times before substitution another due to her stutter, and possibly compounded by her imperfect grasp of Justopean language.
