* ShipperOnDeck: Turns out they are obsessed with human/eldritch god relationships, and have created the ritual books specifically to facilitate them. This turns out to be part of her motive for moving to the human world and setting up a bookstore in Sacremen-Cho, to satisfy her lust for humans as well as an opportunity to write and read as much smut as she wants.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Buck persists through realities, but at the same time so does any injury on his body. [[spoiler: By Episode 4, his body is mutilated beyond recognization but he's still alive]].

to:

** He is also one for D, the protagonist of the previous game. Where D is more of a LovableSexManiac who uses ThePowerOfLust to gain the willpower needed to stand up to the eldritch entities he summons into his reality and is rather honest and upfront with them (two-timing Ln'Eta and Estir notwithstanding), Buck is a spiteful man who harbors nothing but resentment towards Rhok'zan and doesn't think twice about manipulating others for his own ends. They also both antagonize Nyanlatothep, but while D only does so to stop her from interfering with human/eldritch relationships, Buck does it in a calculated move to erase all reality (see below).
* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: Attempts one as a desperate move at the end of the game, planning to torment Nyanlatothep until she is forced to wake up the Eternal Sleeper and erase all of the Elder Gods (and thus all realities) forever.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Buck persists through realities, but at the same time so does any injury on his body. [[spoiler: By Episode 4, his body is mutilated beyond recognization but he's still alive]].
