* LameLastWords: Played for pathos. Karnak's final thoughts, the culmination of having read thousands of human fortunes and observing life over his many long years, is a solemn reiteration of his typical catchphrase.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: He's an attractive guy, and Constance and Noel both show some degree of interest in him.

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Despite his tough "gangsta" persona and overtly macho leanings, Mischa's very open-minded. He tells Noel his performance in drag was "dope", doesn't mind being kissed by him, and is very friendly to and supportive of both Ricky and Constance. In at least one version of the script, he also mentions liking ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace''.

* InformedAttribute: Mischa is given the superlative of "Angriest Boy in Town", but he's rarely all that angry in the show, instead being quite supportive of others in the choir. He gets frustrated with Ocean a few times, but no more so than Noel, while his masculine rap is about him being awesome rather than cursing out anyone or anything else. The most angry the audience sees him is in flashbacks to his adoption. Possibly justified since Uranium was such a small town, so him being the angriest in town didn't mean much (especially considering they live in [[CanadaEh Canada]], with a reputation for niceness).

The "Most Romantic Boy in Town". The only gay guy in all of Uranium, Noel yearns to leave his boring job at Taco Bell and the drab world of Sasketchewan behind for a life of glamour and extravagance.

-->'''The Amazing Karnak:'' Very early on in Noel's life, his mother realized two things... The ''second'' was his pension for all things nihilistic.

Added DiffLines:

* CampGay: He's swishy, snarky, and more feminine than the other guys in the show.
* DragQueen: His daydream self is a woman named Monique, who does sex work in post-war France and lives the over-the-top tragic, exciting, romantic life Noel longs for. During "Noel's Lament," he gets a chance to dress up as Monique and act out his fantasy.


Added DiffLines:

* TransparentCloset: It's heavily implied he never had to come out as gay. At the start of the show, everyone clearly already knows, and he's not making an effort to hide it, despite his mother's warnings.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: He's come to terms with the fact that his time is running out, presumably because he's ''always'' known how things would end for him. When it's finally time for him to go, he shows no fear.



* PartingWordsRegret: Karnak's last words to the children in life were instructions to [[TitleDrop ride the cyclone]] roller coaster that he knew would kill them. As he was stuck on Family Fun Mode, he couldn't warn them. This is what motivates him to create the musical--an apology by way of eulogy.

to:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: It's not focused on much, but he clearly feels ''awful'' that he sent the children to their deaths by telling them to ride the Cyclone rather than warn them of the accident. He was set in Family Fun mode by the carnival, so it wasn't his fault, but his monologue at the beginning of the show implies he feels personally responsible.

Added DiffLines:

* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: By his own description, he's watched ''Film/TheBlueAngel'' "a billion and one times."


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyBi: He sure doesn't mind Noel kissing him, or dancing with him. Mischa shrugs it off, saying where he's from, it's normal for men to show affection by kissing--though he admits he's never kissed a guy wearing high heels before. Many productions will also play up a bit of ShipTease between him and Noel, suggesting there might be something there. However, he's also very in love with Talia.

* MundaneLuxury: His description of the kind of life he'd live if he was a rich and famous rapper involves... playing Platform/PlayStation (albeit on a giant screen) with friends in a nice apartment (one that has new appliances), eating McDonald's and drinking Kristal. Take away the giant screen and it seems that after a childhood of poverty in Ukraine followed by growing up in an abusive foster home, Mischa's idea of absolute decadence is having access to the kind of comforts middle-class kids in the west take for granted.

* OhCrap: After her snobby IAmGreat song, Karnak politely informs her that the way to revival is unanimous vote by every other spirit...[[LaserGuidedKarma who she just spent the whole song insulting]]. She rather sheepishly pleads for a do-over.

* SoapboxSadie: She cheerfully describes herself as a far-left-of-center believer and shouts a lot of slogans and fairness doctrines...and she's also completely self-absorbed and argues in favor of ''Social Darwinism'' for why she should be revived.
