** Hell, the reason why the human PC got stranded alone in space was because he/she brought a little tentacled EldritchAbomination onto his ship as a pet, which ate the rest of the crew before it was ThrownOutTheAirlock.

Hiraki is a girl according to the developers.


* CloudCuckoolander: One particular instance, Hikari Coral, reveals himself to be this in lore. It seems he doesn't really understand the gravity of the situations he's in as evidenced when he visits an apex city where he, in order, ditches his charge, accidentally walks into a resistance meeting, considers it "so rebellious" and then gives a "big ape" jacket to somebody who appeared to have Ape flu. The PC Hylotl appear to be more aware of everything that's going on.

* LowCultureHighTechBerserkButton: Do ''not'' trespass in graveyards if you don't want the guards to attack you.
* HumanSacrifice: Or rather, Avian sacrifice, but Kluex does demand a sacrifice every now and then, judging from the bloodied altars you can find.
* LowCultureHighTech: The initial result of giving spaceship tech to a race that exiles and shuns atheists, and sacrifices their own in altars.
