* BigEater: D. He's pretty much a demonic version of L from Manga/DeathNote, and has to eat in order to recharge his powers.

* EyepatchOfPower: [[spoiler: Calliel.]]

* FallenAngel: Many, Lilith, Black and White and Metatron.
** [[spoiler: Calliel briefly.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Calliel.]]
* FacePalm: Pretty much anyone's usual reaction when Laz says something stupid.
** One of these ends up saving lives, when Lazrian saying something stupid [[spoiler: elicited a facepalm from James, which broke him out of his terror-induced coma and allowed him to help finish off Arc 2 BigBad Morgan Le Fay once and for all.]]

* TheFunInFuneral: Crowley and Laz make [[spoiler: Damien's]] funeral a funny affair, with Crowley getting trashed, and saying [[spoiler: he]] was a good lap dancer, and Laz taking an example from hip hop videos, and pouring something on the ground in remembrance.
** [[TheComicallySerious James Callahan]] was not amused.

* GodIsEvil

* HeroicBastard: Malakh is this, because he is the illegitimate child of Archangel Michael and Angel Gabriel.

** Frequently subverted, however, by both Heroes and Villains who hold Metatron in contempt. Like James.

** [[spoiler: [[TearJerker Damien Seward,]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in one of the best scenes in the entire RP.]]]]
*** The Archer in Arc 3
* {{Magick}}

* MoodWhiplash: Both in-story and outside it: [[BadassNormal James Callahan]] has [[spoiler: just been resurrected by Malakh]], KO'd Uriel and Azazel with a single stream of fire each, and given both (though mainly Uriel) a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. He then turns to his boyfriend Malakh and tells him they can leave. Malakh then reveals [[spoiler: that he can't, he lost all his powers resurrecting James]].

* TheNicknamer: Lazrian, being too dumb to remember anyone's name, usually refers to them by whatever he first notices about them. Damien seems to the exception for some reason.
** Seems to have been dropped as of arc 3, as he calls people by their proper names.

* OhCrap: Laz's reaction when [[spoiler: his extremely angry wife]] shows up at his door to kick his ass.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: For one, they tend to be dicks, and Heaven is an oppressive theocracy ruled by Uriel.
** They're ''huge'' dicks.
** And endangered. There's only 220 million of them left after [[spoiler: Heaven was destroyed by a black hole.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They are very, very difficult to kill for a start.
* OutOfFocus: Most characters in the first arc. The second arc is much better on this.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Sarana and Lazaria.

* {{Satan}}: Currently MIA, and Azazel rules in his absence.
** Following Azazel being KilledOffForReal, Hell is now segmented into various warlord lands and Heavensgate.
* [[spoiler: TheSiege: At the beginning of Arc 3, Pure Earth, a bunch of supernatural-hating extremists, manipulate James through his brother. His brother, Scott, ends up being one of them and they invade the school.]]
* SingleStrokeBattle: James vs Uriel/James vs Azazel. Yes, in the exact same fight.
** They were more surprised that a mere monkey would stand up to them.

* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler: Crowley, a true AssholeVictim.]]

* ToHellAndBack: Damien, James, Calliel and Malakh do this in the first arc. [[spoiler: In the second arc, humans have built colonies in Hell.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Lewis is useless...[[OhCrap until he gets a sniper rifle.]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: Crowley. [[spoiler: Courtesy of losing his emotions trying to bring back Damien.]]
* [[spoiler: TrappedInThePast: During the vampire attack in arc 2, Elfen High and everyone in it were transported back to a SchizoTech version of Camelot, circa 1386.]]

** After leaving his body to combat Metatron inside the mind of a female student [[FaceHeelTurn who turned out to be working with the bad guys all along]], James loses the fragment of Metatron that, it turned out, was keeping him alive. His soul disintegrated en-route to James' body, with no time for him to possess Malakh or anyone else. He [[DealWithTheDevil made a deal with Death]] to come back.]]
* VampireHunter: Damien
* TheVerse: Roleplay/NightkillsShit.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Laz calls the school this, citing several examples of the oddness he and the others have experienced while going there.
** This ends up inspiring Timothy Horn to create a School Guard comprised of volunteer students and teachers.
* WhatTheHellHero: Malakh finally calls James out on his {{Jerkass}} qualities in Arc 2.

* WhyWontYouDie: James. Honestly, HE MUST DIE. At least, he'd better. And Timothy too. Lucky sons of bitches. But I digress...

* AnythingThatMoves: Crowley, James Callahan, Nora

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Timothy Horn, StarWars nerd and closest to FunPersonified so far, is NOT someone to bully or embarrass, particularly in front of the cute girl he's trying to hook up with. Just ask D.

** Lewis is to a certain extent as well, though he is less physically strong as he is skilled with his WeaponofChoice, the cudgel.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: "When I lose track of characters, it's time to add Loads and Loads of Characters to the TV Tropes page." - Nightkill.

* NotSoDifferent: Through out the third arc, Timothy called Crowley an amoral dick [[spoiler: which he had become since Damien's death and botched resurrection]]. During the [[spoiler: Siege]], Timothy started a fight with Laz. This lead to a nice little moment when Crowley got to laugh a bit and call Timothy out on his hypocrisy.

* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: James vs Metatron. James wins [[CrazyAwesome by destroying the part of his brain involved in motor functions and trapping Metatron.]] Then James vs Raphael. [[CurbStompBattle Raphael wins thanks to sheer power.]] James still believes he could defeat Raphael in a straight-up fight.

* AGodAmI: Calliel, Victoria and Desmond all ascend to godhood.
** Inverted when Lewis [[spoiler: uses a sniper rifle during the Siege]]. He becomes high on power and is convinced he is a god. He's far from it.
* [[spoiler: GodIsEvil]]

* ArabIsraeliConflict: Basically the description of the conflicts between the angels and demons. Palestine is featured, in the form of Heavengate, an angel-occupied piece of land in Hell.

Created on NationStates by a sick twisted BollywoodNerd.

* {{Badass}}: Damien.
** Crowley.
*** Raphael fits here too.

* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: James vs Metatron. [[{{Badass}} James wins]] [[CrazyAwesome by destroying the part of his brain involved in motor functions and trapping Metatron.]] Then James vs Raphael.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[{{Badass}} James Callahan]] delivers one to the ''archangel Uriel'', the second most powerful of all the archangels and theocratic dictator of Heaven.

* TooDumbToLive: James, it isn't really a good idea to piss off every angel, archangel, demon, and other mythological being you run int- [[{{Badass}} Did you just beat the tar out of Metatron ''and'' give Uriel a verbal dressing down ''and get away with it!?'']]

* {{Magitech}}: Timothy Horn's lightsabers are a combination of magic and technology.

* BrokenBird: James Callahan in Arc 2, after 18 years of [[KickTheDog being disowned by his parents, spat upon by the angels he represents in the UN, verbally abused by extremists both inside and outside the UN, and his advise completely ignore by the last Archangel (and ruler of the remaining Angels in Heavensgate), Raphael.]] So he left Heavensgate on an extended vacation to the home of the Pixies. [[FRomBadToWorse Then his husband Malakh became catatonically depressed]] [[PoorCommunicationKills despite James leaving a note.]]

* JerkAss: Crowley, in Arc 3. Damien Seward. Raphael. It's frankly easier to list character who don't fit this definition.

** [[spoiler: [[TearJerker Damien Seward]], [[CrowningMomentofAwesome in one of the best scenes in the entire RP.]]]]

He then turns to his boyfriend Malakh and tells him they can leave. Malakh then reveals [[spoiler: that he can't, he lost all his powers resurrecting James]].
** Player Hardened Pyrokinetics pulled this one when juggling cheerful, optimistic, happy Timothy and depressed, suicidal, jaded James, culminating in James shooting himself in the face with Damien's gun while at the same time Timothy started his relationship with Anna. [[CrowningMomentofFunny And then Crowley, Damien, and another character chat over James' corpse, and Dr. Herbert West uses necromancy to revive James' body, but as a dog.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Through out the third arc, Timothy called Crowley an amoral dick [[spoiler: which he had become since Damien's death and botched resurrection]]. During the [[spoiler: Siege]], Timothy started a fight with Laz. This lead to a nice little moment when Crowley got to laugh a bit and call Timothy out on his hypocrisy.

* WhatTheHellHero: Malakh finally calls James out on his JerkAss qualities in Arc 2.
** In the 3rd Arc, Timothy uses Laz as a weapon to kill a surrendering enemy. This incited one from Crowley, Laz, and everyone in the OOC.

* [[spoiler: DavidCameron]]: Appears briefly in the first arc.

* AleisterCrowley

* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Calliel and Lazrian]] both lose an eye in Arc 1. [[spoiler: Calliel's left eye gets shot and then exploded with an arrow by TheArcher, then before he could heal it James Callahan punched the empty socket with a flaming hand, cauterizing it and preventing Calliel from regenerating.]] [[spoiler: Lazrian loses his right eye sometime during the melee in Islamabad. No other details are given.]]

* TheArcher: A character aptly named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Archer]].

*** [[spoiler: He's still alive. In Hell.]]
**** [[spoiler: He dies again in the 3rd Arc, during the siege of Elfen High.]]

* BrokenBird: James Callahan in Arc 2, after 18 years of [[KickTheDog being disowned by his parents, spat upon by the angels he represents in the UN, verbally abused by extremists both inside and outside the UN, and his advise completely ignore by the last Archangel (and ruler of the remaining Angels in Heavensgate), Raphael.]] So he left Heavensgate on an extended vacation to the home of the Pixies.

* CosmicDeadline: The end of Arc 2 feels like this.

* [[spoiler: TheSiege: At the beginning of Arc 3, Pure Earth, a bunch of supernatural-hating extremists, manipulate James through his brother. His brother, Scott, ends up being one of them and they invade the school.]]

* AssShove: While regaling a fellow demon about his days at boot camp, Laz rather calmly details a story that began with two smart alack recruits, and ended with one of those recruits being, in Laz's words "Violently sodomized" with the others spine.

** Lazrian, by virtue of his size, is a big eater as well.

* {{Bishounen}}: Laz's [[http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2010/051/4/8/48e633b72c31a646dec8c75437175ef5.jpg human disguise]]

* ExtremeOmnivore: Lazrian has eaten everything from regular food, to a yo-yo, his lunch tray, and a fork.

* {{Expy}}: Calliel IS [[SuperNatural Castiel.]] Raphael and Uriel look like their SuperNatural counterparts, but have different personalities.

** [[IGotBetter He got better.]]
* DumbMuscle: Lazrian. Extra emphasis on the dumb part.

* IGotBetter: James in Arc 1 got killed-killed by Uriel. [[spoiler: Malakh]] brought him back to life at the cost of [[spoiler: his]] own powers, and also gave James the boost necessary to kick both Uriel and Azazel's asses [[SingleStrokeBattle with one hit.]]
** [[spoiler: Pulled it YET AGAIN in Arc 2, where after [[DrivenToSuicide suiciding with Damien's gun]] and ending up in Hell, he [[HumiliationConga tripped and smashed in his rib cage on a rock, sending two ribs into his lungs and puncturing them. Then his husband Malakh found him and stupidly rolled him onto his back and hugged him, slicing up his lungs and then sending one of the ribs straight into his heart.]] Despite all that, he managed to come back (albeit as a "Dead Human" and thus having to rely on other people as vessels) thanks to a fragment of Metatron siphoning off energy from Malakh and slowly, over several months, healed him, find Malakh, and merge with him. Then he found his own, zombified, cat-minded body.]]
*** [[spoiler: And again. After leaving his body to combat Metatron inside the mind of a female student [[FaceHeelTurn who turned out to be working with the bad guys all along]], James loses the fragment of Metatron that, it turned out, was keeping him alive. His soul disintegrated en-route to James' body, with no time for him to possess Malakh or anyone else. He [[DealWithTheDevil made a deal with Death]] to come back.]]

* BigEater: D. He's pretty much a demonic version of L from DeathNote, and has to eat in order to recharge his powers.

** One of these ends up [[BeyondTheImpossible saving lives]], when Lazrian saying something stupid [[spoiler: elicited a facepalm from James, which broke him out of his terror-induced coma and allowed him to help finish off Arc 2 BigBad Morgan Le Fay once and for all.]]
