* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: occasionally subverted. While most Head Wardens earn their position by accomplishment, sometimes all a candidate needs are the [[{{Nepotism}} right connections]].

%%* LesYay: Langsa occasionally [[{{RelationshipWritingFumble}} stumbles]] into this.

%%* {{Meganekko}}: Frieda Reinhardt, of the StoicSpectacles variety.

* {{Animesque}}
* ApronMatron: Maricruz the restaurant proprietor.
* AscendedExtra: Merrill Theroux, Louisa Fletcher, Percival Ramsay.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Nea Fairchild and Kham Samphan.
* ButtMonkey: Louisa and Merrill. [[WordOfGod Langsa]] brought them into the [[AscendedExtra cast proper]] for this exact purpose.
* CastFromLifespan: why most wardens retire around thirty. Hurling all that LifeEnergy around isn't good for one's longevity.

* FunnyForeigner: Kham Samphan

* HeartDrive: golems need these to function. [[spoiler: Grant Vallance]] does, too.

* {{Meganekko}}: Frieda Reinhardt, of the StoicSpectacles variety.

* [[OurMonstersAreDifferent Our Golems Are Different]]: Collectiverse golems needn't be crafted from clay, among other things.

* RuleOfCool: the ''premise''. Just [[{{MST3KMantra}} run with it]].
* [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl Savvy Woman Energetic Girl]]: in earlier timelines, Frieda Reinhardt and Nea Fairchild.
* SliceOfLife: no signs of a proper plot for ''miles''.
* TheHeartless: the mist/mist-vermin, who double as [[EmotionEater Emotion Eaters]].

* WaistcoatOfStyle: Ellis Albright prides himself on his collection.
* WorldHalfFull: even in a universe plagued by ''the manifestation of human despair'', happiness is not unattainable.

* TriggerHappy: though they [[KiAttacks don't use firearms]] to temper the mist, some wardens develop this trait after a few years in service.

* XMeetsY: The 'verse and its mechanics can be aptly described as ''Manhwa/WitchHunter meets Manga/TegamiBachi''.

Despite the setting's potential for an actual myth arc, Langsa keeps the [[TheVerse Collectiverse]] material episodic, as she's [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder incapable]] of [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants creating complex plots]]. She encourages [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot disappointed tropers]] to [[SharedUniverse join]] [[FanFic her]] in her sandbox.

Click [[http://thousandshining.deviantart.com/gallery/#Collectiverse-Stuff here]] for the shorts. A serial is slated to begin once RealLife releases Langsa from its unforgiving claws.

* AllThereInTheManual: the character page will contain details too minute to feature in the stories proper.
