* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Averted for [[spoilers: Jabitha. While the Embrace of Pain brought her to the brink of madness, it was her rescue by Darth Plagueis that really began her fall to the dark side.]]

* CuteAndPsycho: Jabitha is a sweet, friendly teenage girl who loves plants, starships, and getting into trouble... [[spoiler: who also happens to be Darth Borea, Plagueis' Sith apprentice and a highly-trained dark side assassin.]]

* TheSocialDarwinist: Plagueis, like most Sith, believes that the strong should rule and the weak should . [[spoiler: Darth Borea takes his lessons to heart and puts them into practice by hunting down and killing a Hutt slaver. Rather than capture his slaves by force, he quietly poisoned a colony's water supply with horribly addictive chemicals and sold the colonists into slavery when they couldn't pay for the "treatments" for their chemical dependency. In Borea's mind, the Hutt never gave his captives a fair chance to prove themselves strong or weak, and therefore deserved to die.]]

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Averted.

* AssholeVictim: Sidious. Plagueis was willing to share power, but instead Sidious tried to get him drunk and kill him in his sleep.

* AGodAmI: Plagueis and the [[TheDeterminator "sovereign will"]] he believes to be the hallmark of a true Sith Lord. Having conquered aging and being the most powerful Sith in generations gives him a better claim than most.

* BadassBookworm: Plagueis.

* TeasingCreator: YeahOkayCool loves teasing readers about what may or may not be happening in future updates.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: Plagueis believes in the idea, claiming that what makes one person better than another is how much their actions benefit ''him.'' -> "There is no good or evil, Jabitha," I said in a soft whisper. "There is only alive and dead, strong and weak. The weak will always be at the mercy of the strong, no matter what platitudes the galaxy uses to hide it from us. And nobody can become strong unless they are taught strength."

Now it was my turn to gloat. "Oh, Sidious. You never did show much interest in learning about Force illusions. Perhaps you should have spent less time rehearsing your ''monologue'' and more time practicing. Now, I'm afraid, it's too late." I fastened my Force grip tighter around his heart. By now the organ was unable to pump blood at all, muscles desperately twitching and fluttering. If he had been born a Muun, one of his other two hearts would have picked up the slack and he might have been able to resist. But alas, evolution had a sense of humor when shaping the human species. Sidious' legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees. He snarled up at me, struggling for breath as his face started to take on a bluish cast.
