* ButtMonkey: The Rotten and Knut are often the butt of jokes, and derision from the narration.
* MagicMirror: The Mirrors each character gets are a representation of their soul. If every shard is removed, they vanish into thin air until someone puts them back in.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Knut is a stereotypical vampire with fangs and bat wings who likes to sleep in the rafters of Barghest's cottage, but lacks other typical vampire traits like WeakenedByTheLight. [[spoiler: As it turns out, he's not a vampire at all, merely a [[VoluntaryShapeshifter shapeshifter]] mouse.]]
* PalsWithJesus: The Rotten acts more like an eighth member of the team than their protector and leader.
* SnakePeople: Kanra is a lamia.
* TheStoner: Eden, who is literally described as a stoner in-game.

A JournalRoleplay on Dreamwidth that began in 2013, [[http://kyriakos.dreamwidth.org/profile Kyriakos]] focuses on memory loss and the subsequent regaining of "shards" or pieces of one's soul in the form of memories and skills. Sorted into one of 13 teams, games are run and shards awarded to the winners.
!!Kyriakos provides examples of:
* BigBad: Nyssa is the current antagonist.
** DiscOneFinalBoss: ...although it remains to be seen if someone else even worse will come along.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Any powers the characters may have (including mundane abilities like braiding hair) are taken away and must be regained as shards.
* EasternZodiac: The twelve regular teams are based upon the twelve animals of the Eastern zodiac, with the Cats as the archetypal cat of the legend who missed out on becoming a part of the lineup.
* FamilyOfChoice: Frequently, as the team members live and fight together.
* InSeriesNickname: As characters rarely remember their names, they're given themed nicknames by their teammates upon first arrival.
* MemoryTropes: A whole slew of them, naturally. Including:
** AmnesiacDissonance: Possible, if the character is only "evil" by virtue of their memories. Such a realization can occur through gaining shards.
** IdentityAmnesia: Everyone.
** NeverForgottenSkill: All characters have a starter shard of any skill or memory of the player's choosing.
** QuestForIdentity: Characters strive to regain all memories as shards and complete their mirrors.
* ThemeNaming: Most of the teams have one for its members' amnesia names.
** Gullgalana is photoshop filters and effects.
** Dawon is [[FloralThemeNaming flowers]].
** Ometotchtli is units of measurement.
** Takshaka is [[ColorfulThemeNaming colors]] and [[AnimalThemeNaming birds]] together.
** Vanara is [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming mythological beasts and deities]].
** Barghest is [[StellarName constellations and celestial bodies]].
** Henwen is [[RockThemeNaming minerals]].
** The Cats are, appropriately, species and breeds of cats.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Nyssa overthrew the Queen and Princess and subsequently all of Kyriakos.
* YaoiFangirl: The Rotten in spades.
* YouRemindMeOfX: [[VideoGame/{{Drakengard3}} Mikhail]] said [[VideoGame/{{Nier}} Kaine]] reminds him of Zero. Fittingly, as Zero is Kaine's {{Expy}} in-universe.
