* HonoraryUncle: After Summer makes a close family friend out of Jaune, Ruby and Yang's younger selves come to consider him as much an uncle as Qrow. Jaune's adopted daughter Emerald in turn eventually refers to Summer and Tai as her aunt and uncle respectively after she comes around to them. Apparently, Roman Torchwick, who now has a working relationship with Jaune in the underworld, once tried to call himself Uncle Roman in front of Emerald. ''Once''.

* ManChild: Emerald and later Vernal have an odd duality between this trope and the TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior they display otherwise. Hardened, ruthless, and slow to trust as they are, having a normal family relationship is novel to them -- something they missed out on in their early years, and which they have no problem indulging in later than is considered normal. Summer, Taiyang and Qrow all bemoan that Yang got more distant and less tolerant of affection as she got older (Ruby not as much), meanwhile Emerald will still hug and cuddle with Jaune or sit on Summer's lap like an elementary schooler. Vernal applies her normal arrogance and aggression to boasting about how her dad took her to a water park, tucked her in with a bedtime story, and made her a nutricious breakfast.
* NiceMeanAndInbetween: The three generals of Salem who clash with Jaune [[spoiler:and who (unlike Cinder) never side against Salem to the end]]. Hazel (Nice) is a PunchClockVillain who is diplomatic at best, apathetic at worst if hurting you isn't part of his mission and if you aren't Ozpin. Watts (Mean) is a narcissistic sociopath [[spoiler:who tries to murder Winter in front of Jaune using the couple's own project ''purely'' to spite Jaune for an imagined slight, and he continues to take glee in mentally torturing Jaune while threatening to shut down an entire hospital and then bring Salem's wrath down on Jaune and his loved ones – tellingly, Jaune doesn't feel even remotely sorry about offing Watts even when the latter gets the most excruciating and undignified death of the three]]. Tyrian (Inbetween) is a murderous sadomasochistic who revels in the death and destruction he wreaks, but even ''he'' manages to be less spiteful and slightly more valorous than Watts, [[spoiler:plus Jaune suspects that Tyrian has less moral agency in his evil actions than the others due to his insanity. The three generals are also killed in this specific order]].
* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Salem sends Jaune back in time by combining the Relic of Creation and Relic of Choice's powers; using the former Relic to create an adult clone of Jaune's body in the past, and the latter Relic to project Jaune's present self's soul into that body. [[spoiler:Jaune's body, being made of magic, is dependent on the continued existence of Salem's magic in the alternate timeline to maintain itself]].

** Though not quite on the same level as the other two examples, Hazel's death is still quite a somber affair.

Hazel dies with a smile on his face, and Ozpin thinks that he's never before seen anyone look so happy to meet their death – which, coming from '''[[TimeAbyss Ozpin]]''', is really saying something]].

* MirrorCharacter: As much as Jaune would initially ''hate'' to admit it given his personal distaste for Ozpin over his [[BadFuture future self]]'s extremes, the fic makes it increasingly apparent as the plot progresses that Ozpin and Jaune Ashari have a lot in common despite their mutual wariness of each-other. They're both powerful, fiercely intelligent men of gray morals who have their fingers in various pies across Remnant, and are out to prevent Salem destroying the world. Jaune eventually even ends up forming a counterpart of his own to Ozpin's benevolent conspiracy group with Raven and a couple other trusted allies.
