* CreepyGood: Though his skills and intentions lie in scaring Thomas, he does it out of a desire to keep him safe.

Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Being called scary. It makes him angry to the point that he seems to set aside any of his usual antics, and is enough for him to break character for a moment.

* ElementalPersonalities: Earth. He makes sure that all his arguments have some kind of backing to them, remains calm in tense situations (or at least tries his best to) and he isn't easily swayed by outside factors. However, he can also be rather stubborn at times or stuck in a rut, even though he wants to grow and improve himself the best he can.



* ElementalPersonalities: Air. Just as flighty as the element itself, he is also rather transparent (doesn't hide his opinions much), takes life as it comes and is very talkative, vivacious and always tries the most peaceful way.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the first episode of the series, Roman sported [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent a thick foreign accent]] [[OohMeAccentsSlipping that disappeared in following episodes.]]

* ElementalPersonalities: Fire. As detailed below in JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he's energetic, loyal, a tad egoistic but also incredibly determined and unwilling to give up.


Added DiffLines:

* ElementalPersonalities: Water. While known as somber and moody, he's also willing to adapt when push comes to stove, and, fitting with the deep ends of the sea, also rather intuitive and mysterious.


Added DiffLines:

* ElementalPersonalities: A twisted one of Air. He highly prefers influencing others via talking rather than getting physical like Remus prefers, and has been pulling strings behind the scenes (much like a wind that is not seen but felt). He is hard to trap and can easily slip out of any given grip, like trying to grab air.


Added DiffLines:

* ElementalPersonalities: A darker form of Fire. He's hard to ignore, and once he starts it is difficult to let his influence die down. Given too much fuel, he can easily go out of control and dominate Thomas' mind until he stops giving in (i.e giving him fuel).

to:

*** '''Janus''':'''Janus''': In order to get that stuff you want, you must attack the piñata! But you're wearing a blindfold right now. You can keep playing with the blindfold on if you like the game better that way... But if you take it off, it's easier to get that stuff you want!
*** '''Thomas''': ...Attack the piñata?
*** '''Roman''': I believe he's suggesting that you beat someone up and rob their unconscious body, right?

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterTic: Though not commented on, Virgil seems to have a habit of listing and numbering things. He even knows the exact number of times Thomas has chosen to half-commit to something and panic until he can't change his mind. It's somewhere around 7430.
--> '''Logan''': Virgil, how's he doing?
--> '''Virgil''': He recently realized he's a bigger liar than he thought he was, he doesn't understand himself, he's committed to skipping a big callback, and he's sleep deprived.

* ProfanityPolice: As Thomas's morality, Patton frequently scolds the other Sides for being too harsh or inappropriate with their language, [[Foil foiled]] by Remus, who couldn't care less about speaking improperly.

* AchillesHeel: Remus is allergic to soap. It makes him feel pain when exposed to it and can be used to make him stop doing something. Subverted in the sense that he will have no hesitation in drinking soap if he wants to, even if it will cause him a really bad allergic reaction.

Subverted in the sense that he will have no hesitation in drinking soap if he wants to, even if it will cause him a really bad allergic reaction. Additionally, Remus is especially weak to being called 'unintimidating', taking the word as a literal blow. Logan, the only one of the group who isn't scared of Remus, is easily able to overpower him.

Added DiffLines:

* SternOldJudge: Completely Inverted. In "Selfishness v. Selflessness" Roman doesn't take his role as Judge very seriously at all, breaking his gavel within two minutes of having it, making up charges, making objections, being shamelessly won over with flattery, and even declaring Thomas guilty despite the trial barely beginning and it being the Jury's (Virgil's) decision.

Added DiffLines:

* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Virgil is implied to carry some of Thomas's rebellious teenage phase inside of him, claiming to fight The Man, and becoming frequently upset when Sides assume positions of power during their social experiments. He complains about him and Logan's debate being rigged due to the moderator rooting against him, and embodies the anti-authority teenager persona in his jam commercial segment, calling Patton an 'tired old man'. He also seems to be educated on practices like blood diamonds and the ethics of weddings.
--> '''Janus''': (Holding a book in front of each Side): Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth under pains and penalties of perjury? I know I do.
--> '''Logan''': I do?
--> '''Roman''': I do.
--> '''Patton''': I do.
--> '''Virgil''': (Not even touching the book) Whatever.

*BlamingTheMan: In "Growing Up", when Thomas trades his graphic t-shirt for a respectable button-down and tie, Virgil claims he looks like "The Man". Virgil, as an [[EmoTeen Emo Teen]] [[ConspiracyTheorist Conspiracy Theorist]], says that he fights The Man, and that [[CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority he now wants to fight Thomas.]]
