Per TRS. Bishonen is a Definition-Only fan-speak term used only for Japanese/East-Asian media. Examples or audience reactions are not allowed. Moving In Universe acknowledgements/relevance to Pretty Boy. Removing any ZCE or misuse.


* {{Bishonen}}
** Bran tends to lean toward this, especially in the beginning as a deliberate emphasis on his youth and newness to the world (though he has grown immensely more worldly and savvy since then).
** Many of Urran (the former player)'s characters milked this to an extreme.
** Willow, who is depicted with the small-snout body design normally reserved for female ponies. His player excuses this as him being unusually petite for his sex and age.

** TheEvilGenius - Fortu, although he tries to get better and be a hero, he still gets pulled into schemes.
** TheBrute - Scarface, the indestructible {{Eldritch Abomination}} created by Neil but also a {{bruiser with a soft center}}.
** TheDarkChick - Gretta, a {{deadly doctor}} Neil's wife. She's a {{Mama Bear}} if anyone messes with her children.
** EnigmaticMinion - Arthur, it is unclear what side he's on, the mind games and manipulation don't really make it clear.
** TheSixthRanger - Nevvie, a loose cannon clone experiment and test subject who is a {{wannabe secret agent}}.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* TheAlcoholic - Flint, like any good Stalker of the Zone, has a taste for vodka. She, however, [[UpToEleven takes it a step further]] due to her [[NeverGetsDrunk high alcohol tolerance]].

If it gets to the point where there's some long-ass list of examples, it's better to just leave the trope as is in order to stand as a general rule.

** Ceril
** Daemons
** Superbia

** Kei

* BreakTheCutie - May as well be the bread and butter of this game.



* EvenEvilHasStandards - Sort of. Most of the people who are involved with Chaos have standards against hurting those that are innocent or defenseless. Especially true with Rudolf and Hans, who are both avid animal lovers, to the point where Hans became comatose for several days over his guilt of having been forced to mercy-kill several woodland creatures who were harmed during a battle.

* {{Deconstruction}} - ''So much!!''
** Gio explains to Marcus the unique fears and anxieties about being an immortal god, pointing out that when you literally exist forever, there will inevitably come a time where you outlast everything around you and begin to struggle with your place in existence with nothing of significance to place yourself relative to. She contrasts this with the lives of mortals who, while being short-lived and less powerful, will none the less have an easier time creating a sense of fulfillment in their lives because of how little they need, and do not ever have to live long enough to see a time in which their previous precious experiences become forgotten and meaningless. Essentially, she puts forth the preposition that the reason gods exist the way they do (extravagantly, and often meddling in mortal affairs) is not out of arrogance, but out of a sort of existential terror at the constantly-fleeting sense of concrete meaning in their eternal lives. Time inevitably buries all their previous actions (with everyone who could remember or care eventually biting the dust), and the gods are never able to peacefully pass away with any sense of accomplishment - given the only way a god can die is by either destroying themselves (something that normally arises from a monstrous amount of depression and apathy) or being (usually violently) [[KillTheGod destroyed by something else]]. Immortality is a second place prize compared to AGoodWayToDie.
** One would think that being transported from sunshine-and-rainbows Equestria to the much more brutal human world would be setting up the tools for a typical {{Break the Cutie}}/{{Silly Rabbit Idealism is for Kids}} story for Willow; in contrast, the pony sticks fast to his beliefs, and in fact gets in frequent debates with Giovenith about what a society should expect of itself. Willow asserts that there is nothing shameful or naïve about living a land like Equestria--their status is indicative of success and prosperity, something they actually ''worked'' to achieve by actively ''rising above'' hatred and weary acceptance of destitution, and that humankind has no place mocking the ideals of the ponies when those ideals have clearly worked to their advantage in ways that humanity has yet to achieve. i.e., No wars, no starvation, no natural disasters, everypony has the career/lifestyle they want, Gods that do not mistreat them, etc. Of course, he's not entirely correct, but he has a far sturdier base to be arguing from than such a story would normally lend him.

The location of the Building shifts at different points in the story. Originally set in a city known as Vafflehelm, it was most famously located on 42nd Subabsurdus Street in the city of Bielefeld (no, [[IThoughtItMeant not the one you're thinking of...]]) before subsequently being relocated to Gallimaufry, Demens' personal world. SliceOfLife still plays a big role despite the overarching plot, and side stories involding comedy, adventure, and romance can always be expected.

** Willow, when he notes that the villains in SwordAndSandal and other fantasy war genres are usually [[SissyVillain rich, effeminate men]], specifically citing ThreeHundred, ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', and ''Film/{{Hercules 2014}}'' as examples. He states, ''"Because apparently nothing scares grown-ass testosterone junkies more shitless than the idea that a guy who appreciates fine jewelry etching and exotic birds could somehow be in a position of power over them."''

** Caer Gloriana, the ancient society of Equestrian unicorns, has several references to TheLastUnicorn embedded in their culture: Their motto is, ''"From Adam's choice to Amalthea's regret,"'' and a temple of theirs has the lyrics of the animated film adaption's titular opening credit song by America carved into the floor. The series of stained windows Smart Cookie encounters in said temple are also a reference to the famous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_and_the_Unicorn "The Lady and the Unicorn"]] tapestries, with five of the windows and tapestries depicting the five senses, and the sixth and final vaguely depicting, ''"À Mon Seul Désir"'', which roughly translates to, "my one/sole desire." In real life it is unknown what the sixth tapestry is meant to represent, though Caer Gloriana's sixth corresponding window pretty clearly represents magic.
