!!Lucifer Morningstar

* AdaptationDyeJob: Lucifer was blond/red-headed in the comics. Here, he has brown hair.
* AffablyEvil: Lucifer is perpetually cheerful and smarmy and constantly insists that his role has been twisted and blown out of proportion over the ages. He's actually disappointed when people he likes give into their baser urges.
* BerserkButton: Lucifer doesn't really like it when the people he's taken a shine to get hurt, and ''especially'' if the person responsible for such crimes thinks they can take him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lucifer is very polite and chipper, if a bit creepy to those immune to his charms (who are few and far between). People tend to forget that he is still nominally in charge of bringing eternal suffering upon those who sin.
* ChildHater: Lucifer hates kids, except maybe Trixie.
* TheCorrupter: Lucifer can do this, though as he points out, he has no influence over people's choices. All he does is draw out their innermost desires and maybe verbally manipulate them from there.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Lucifer has dark hair and dresses in a black suit and pants but helps Detective Chloe Decker solve crimes and bring criminals to justice rather than act as the source of all evil, like History has portrayed him.
* TheDreaded: Twofold - first, when people know/realize who Lucifer really is. He's not the Lord of Darkness for nothing. Second, he has this status InUniverse among those who know him, with the record producer making reference to having seen Lucifer's 'freaky powers' up close and personal before.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lucifer is, if nothing else, a man of his word, judging by the way he acts after making a deal with the therapist to have sex with her in exchange for the name of the other party in Delilah's affair.
* TheGadfly: Lucifer enjoys annoying people, and he's really, really good at it.
* IGaveMyWord: Almost exact words from the one History calls the Prince of Lies. In-universe, he is 100% honest, 100% of the time.
--> '''Lucifer''': My word is my bond.
* ImmuneToBullets: It seems that when Lucifer is taken by surprise, he can be [[ResurrectiveImmortality temporarily killed]], but otherwise bullets aren't even an annoyance. They don't even seem to scratch his clothing.
-->'''Chloe:''' I saw him shoot you...\\
'''Lucifer:''' You're really having trouble with this whole immortality thing, aren't you?
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Lucifer smashes a rapper through a window before hanging the guy off a balcony by the chain around his neck. Though considering his abilities, it wasn't at all necessary to get to the truth.
* LouisCypher: Completely {{Averted}}. He introduces himself to anyone and everyone as Lucifer Morningstar, and enjoys their [[CassandraTruth bemused disbelief]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Again, this is Lucifer we're talking about.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Lucifer is impeccably dressed, owns a nightclub, and is very well spoken. Oh, and he's actually {{Satan}}.
* NobleDemon: This version of Lucifer isn't in the business of causing pain and suffering for his own amusement (most of the time). Instead, he uses his abilities to bring suffering upon those who deserve while happening to help those in need in the process...
* {{Pornomancer}}: Many, ''many'' women are sexually attracted to Lucifer, and he says that he's like "walking heroin" in the bedroom.
* RaceLift: Amenadiel was white in the comics. Here, he's black.
* SecretPublicIdentity: Lucifer is quite happy to tell everybody his real name, since no one actually believes he is who he is - except for the priest at the record producer's wedding, who seems to recognise Lucifer and crosses himself. Mind you, that reaction could simply be because Lucifer's crashed the wedding.
* VillainProtagonist: Lucifer, though as Amenadiel and Maze note, he's behaving much more morally of late.

!!Detective Chloe Decker

* GenerationXerox: Her father was a police officer in Los Angeles and her mother was a known actress.
* OldShame: The "Hot Tub Movie" she did while she was a rising actress, said to rival Phoebe Cates' in ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'. Chloe says she became a police officer so that no one will recognize her because of that.
* NoSell: Chloe is immune to Lucifer's abilities and charms, sexual or otherwise. Lucifer is fascinated by the implications, but Linda the therapist also notes that he's more than a little disturbed.
