-->''(line break)''
-->'''Kurt:''' ''--That was way too fucking easy.''

-->'''Kurt:''' Is this your story, then?
-->'''The Runes:''' ''...Perhaps.''
-->'''Kurt:''' Then, thank you. For allowing me this.
-->'''The Runes:''' ''It is for Master. She wishes to fight. You must defeat her to allow that. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Nothing more.]]''

** Kurt at one point mixes Scarron up with [[LordOfTheRings Sauron]].

** Kurt gets another one during his LastStand, recalling [[spoiler: a memory where Cynthia told him it might be okay to kill for a cause you really believed in, causing Kurt to [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming recall every single person he believes in, hoping for the best in their futures.]]]]

** [[{{Touhou}} Master Spark, ze.]]

* {{Badass}}: In Earth terms, Kurt is this. As are several other characters, including Karin of the Heavy Wind—who actually gives Kurt the fight of his life.

** Subtle, but in Chapter 20 Kurt mentions that in addition to insanity, [[FreemansMind radiation is the gift that keeps on giving.]]

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9678907/1/Storms-Overhead Storms Overhead]] is a on-going crossover fic between ''VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}}'' and ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2293571/Lione-Tabuukilla-Fortuna Lione 'Tabuukilla' Fortuna]], wherein Louise Vallerie summons Kurt "Gig" Bright from his home world of Earth as he [[LastStand goes down fighting against the militia during the events of inFAMOUS 2.]]

** [[spoiler: Said by Henrietta to Kurt when he says he'll go on a journey to get over Cynthia

** The cryptic hints are a nod to {{Bioware}}, or so says WordOfGod.

** Part of Kurt's battle with [[spoiler: Joseph]] was inspired by a scene from ''{{Demonbane}}''.

-->'''Kurt:''' ''I'd rather gut myself from the cheesiness.''

* Fingore: [[spoiler: Kurt rips off Joseph's fingers during their battle.]]

** Part of Kurt's battle with [[spoiler: Joseph]] was inspired by a scene from ''VisualNovel/Demonbane''.

** [[''Definitely'' averted by Henrietta's mother when Kurt is in his HeroicBSOD. However, she is still depressed and Kurt acknowledged before that she only views him as a partial replacement for her late husband, explaining her behavior.]]

* ManlyTears/MenDontCry: Kurt’s slight breakdown at the inn, when he tells Scarron a reworked (but almost completely true) story of his past when explaining why he feels the way he does to Louise. However, he laughs at himself for having broken down.

** MyGreatestSecondChance: …but now he has Siesta and Louise to protect and keep alive

** [spoiler: Played straighter when Joseph forces Kurt to choose between destroying Siesta or the Ray Sphere(renamed Dawn Sphere in the story), as destroying the former means Kurt fails to save her, while destroying the latter will get rid of the means to cure her disease.]]

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Sasha and Brimir's love life is implied to have been like this.
