His only saving grace is his high HP Aptitude, which gives him Tank potential. His build makes him mediocre in every way.
* MasterOfNone: Alex joins the party as such. All of his offensive stats and Aptitudes are about as strong as those of third-tier PlayerMooks
* StoneWall: Downplayed. Alex has amazing HP, DEF and RES Aptitudes as well as mediocre ATK, but it comes at the cost of very finicky Weapon Proficiencies and mediocre starting stats. He's clearly designed to soak up punishment rather than deal it and his FinishingMove "Vanishing Bolt" relies on his INT, the Aptitude of which is a static 100%.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Just like Babylon, Micky has next to no bad bone in his body ([[ItMakesSenseInContext Bad limbs are another matter.]]) and is only with the other Overlords out of association. Micky is so kind in fact that Zetta actively looks down on him for it. Its his fellow components Dryzen and Ophelia that make up his more demonic tendencies.
Added DiffLines:
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: One of the only Overlords that actively partakes in this during the game. He enacts various schemes to wrestle power from the others and always fails.
Added DiffLines:
* TeamRocketWins: Subverted. Upon Zetta [[spoiler: seemingly killing The One and being cursed for it, Drake picks up the corpse and blackmails Zetta into relinquishing his Netherworlds in exchange for removing the curse. The other Overlords are actually somewhat fearful]] until Salome arrives and calls the bluff, forcing a prompt retreat.

[[folder:In General]]
* AffablyEvil: Despite their statuses as monstrous rulers, the Overlords are for the most part civilized toward one another....at least by EldritchAbomination standards. They do sometimes take potshots at each other and have agendas of their own, but there's less in-fighting than expected.
* CardCarryingVillain: Everyone except Trenia, per their status as Overlord.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Downplayed. Typically, a group of homicidal uber-psychos would be constantly flailing at each other for power, yet the majority of the Overlords cling to Zetta out of curiosity rather than opportunity. When the trope does come up, it's typically for gags (often at Drake's expense).
* DimensionLord: Every member of the cast is, to varying degrees, uber-powerful lords of entire realms that they manage (Yes, even Drake). Trenia is also able to stand amongst them despite not being one herself, which confuses everyone at some point. [[spoiler: Until it's revealed she's [[CosmicKeystone the spirit of the Sacred Tome]]; indirectly making her ''the'' Dimension Lord among even them]].
* WhoNeedsEnemies: The truce between the Overlords is stable enough but the group is a melting pot of agendas - Pram and Micky bicker a lot, Drake is constantly vying for power grabs, Alex ambushes Zetta repeatedly, Salome hates everyone that isn't Zetta and Seedle hates everyone that isn't Seedle. The Overlords can certainly get along, but everyone treats Zetta's plight like a drive-in movie and is obviously out for themselves through the whole thing.
