* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Names and Hours tend to be referred to by titles.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Excepting Names and Hours from Flesh, these titles really are their true names. Of course, names aren't real, as any student of the Histories knows.



* ActionPolitician: The Ministers in Shesha, with a few exceptions. The Chancellor takes the prize for AmbassadorBadass.



* TheArchmage: The Vizier, who's mortal identity was the wizard Merlin.



* BewareTheQuietOnes: Silence is power, as the Names of the Great Serpent know.



* CelestialBureaucracy: The Vizier's domain.



* HypercompetentSidekick: The Vizier and his Names have made this their modus operandi. Prior to the Segmenting, the Anaconda and the Vizier were this to the Great Serpent.



* ImpossibleTheft: Moth in general. The Elder Sister is the Hour of this, and Saint Hydra is its patron saint.
* IntangibleTheft: The Elder Sister, again. The Anaconda has also been known to dabble in this, stealing memories and concepts from those she hunts. Saint Hydra just does it for fun.



* MagicalLibrary: The Department's Archives. The Wyrm's Museum has one, but that's not its main attraction, and the Curator doesn't like to share.



* MerlinAndNimue: Starring the actual Merlin, but amusingly, "Nimue" (actually Morgan Le Fay) is the elder one.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: The Revolutionary, a Name from the October Revolution. [[spoiler:[[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy She's a female Leon Trotsky]]]]



* SquishyWizard: While CultSim canon typically subverts the trope, and the Fansus tags along with it, the Vizier plays this trope completely straight.



* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: The Engineer's goal. To some level, the Curator's goal as well, although the latter is more interested in analyzing Nowhere than the Mansus. The Anaconda has accomplished this with curses, although it's anyone's guess as to whether the concepts would work normally or if it's only because an Hour did the analysis.



* UltimateBlacksmith: The Anvil, a now-dead God-From-Flesh.



* UltimateBlacksmith: The Flint-And-Steel, debatably.



* BigCreepyCrawlies: This Mansus is full of them. Even some of the Stones were this.



* BornAgainImmortality: The Omnipede's Long. While not invulnerable nor unable to age, they're permitted to keep their memories throughout each cycle of reincarnation.



* CombatMedic: The Name of the Omnipede known as Nito.



* PitbullDatesPuppy: Even though [[EveryoneCanSeeIt they haven't expressed it to each other yet]], the Solemn Gravedigger and the Sunset Abbess are in this type of relationship. For your own sake, [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend don't harm or flirt with the Gravedigger in the Abbess' presence.

In-Universe, it's a [[EldritchAbomination God-From-Nowhere]] that caused [[ApocalypseHow the most impactful event]] in the History of the Mottled Heart, and presides over artistic blocks and burnouts amongst other things.

** [[spoiler: The Bright-Delver joins the Peacock in this; the two overlap in sphere quite a bit, so it's no surprise that the Hour of compassion and kindness has her own tricks. She can [[BlessedWithSuck "gift" the suffering she feels]], as well as inflicting things like [[AndIMustScream "mindfulness"]] and [[AMindIsATerribleThingToRead "awareness"]] upon beings.

* TheDeterminator: The Anaconda's cults and worshippers. They're often perfectly mundane humans who have taken the Anaconda's willpower without her godly benefits.
* DisproportionateRestitution: [[spoiler:During the First Flood, the Anaconda went out of her way to attempt to stop the forces of three Hours from breaking into the Moon, despite being a single Name and not having the permission of the Great Serpent to do so.
