Of course, if you're a [[VanHelsingHateCrime Frontliner]], skip this step and jump straight into the ass-kicking.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: The ''kami'' that can inhabit the body of the machine-angels will lay dormant if no one worship them, though total dissolution is unlikely. Machine-angels reinforce the ''kami'' by acting according to their nature, and since all machine-angels are ShrineMaiden, simply being an observant vessel is a powerful prayer.
* LegacyCharacter: Some Vigilante Masques are like this. They have been passed down from one Vigilante to another. In a few cases, those Masques can awaken someone who never see a magical girl in action. The downside of legacy Masques is that the Vigilante can't develop his own charms until he is on the the Masque's Legend level. Since Masques that survive the trial of time are usually above Legend 5, this can become an unrealistic proposition.

** The revenants are quite similar to the machine-angels. Their {{prestige class}}es, called Lacryma, are based on vengeful dead found in world cultures. The agony of the vengeful dead shifts the way the revenants carry their anti-vice, sometimes in the blue-orange way. There are Lacryma based on the concept of [[BloodSplatteredWeddingDress murdered brides]], human sacrifice, and even disturbed ''mummies''.

** The Neverborn, Underworld entities that empower the Revenants. They are strongly implied to ''never'' have been alive, and their very mindset is inimical to life. They see living existence as a pointless race to send each others to Underworld, and thus to them the Grudge spawned from such constant atrocities is the only enduring truism. They aren't trying to destroy the world, at least not aggressively-- they know that ultimately, the red string of fate will entangle the entire universe in a web of vendetta, at which point the world will implode upon itself and join the Underworld forever, a time the Neverborn will be the supreme ruler. For this purpose, the Neverborn give power to the Revenants to reinforce the cycle of revenge.
* LevelUpAtIntimacy5: A variation in the case of Revenants. A Revenant can level up in Legend as much as she wants, provided she has experience point. But an increase in her dark Legend means she become significantly less human and more like a vengeful spirit, unless she shore up her mental defense with Intimacies. You don't level up just because you have Intimacies at 5 or more, but it certainly makes leveling up a less suicidal option.
