----

!! This game provides examples of:

* AntiHero: Sideswipe, Zanith, and Squall.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The whole point of coming to Nautilus is to eventually ascend to Deva.

* ClockPunk: Helix.
* CrystalDragonJesus: Before she died, Cyrus. Heck, even after she died.

* MoralityPet: [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Starscream]] has had several, including Sari, [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Kid Wykkyd,]] [[WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex Rex,]] Jun, and VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}.
* NobleDemon: A few fit this bill, most notably Starscream, but this also falls over most of the Decepticons as well as the Organization members.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent / OurGodsAreDifferent: Wakened are angels in training, Angelii are messengers, Ashura are maintainers, Deva are creators, Aeons are weird bastards that talk in crazy riddles, think it's funny to give you ironic presents, and turn you into things. At least if Nautilus himself is any indication.
* TrueCompanions: Makeshift families crop up all over the place in this game. ''How'' many grandkids has Ratchet adopted now...?
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: While characters can visit their home worlds, they can't tell anyone about Nautilus and feel like they're trapped in their own body -- and once they reach the end of their canon, they are apparently stuck in a permanent loop.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Characters can, with a little practice, bring literally anything they imagine into being through the process of Bending.

* AntiHero: Sideswipe, Zanith, Squall.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Nautilus, and all Aeons, really. They're so far beyond normal mortal understanding that their "actions" can seem... inexplicable, at best.

* LongRunnerCastTurnover: There's been so much turnover in the cast over three years that there are only a few characters left who remember pivotal characters and events from early in the game.

* CrackPairing

* MemeticMutation: Nautilus is full of fruits and Rev has a drug problem.
** RAPT ATTENTION, reflecting bullets with a garden axe, and LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'s Claire is a godmode.
** I'LL FOLLOW YOU UNTIL YOU'RE PUPPIES

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Cyrus and Nautilus. Everyone figured that Cyrus was male, and that Nautilus was either genderless or female. Oops. Granted, this was deliberate.

* {{Nakama}}: Makeshift families crop up all over the place in this game. ''How'' many grandkids has [[TransformersAnimated Ratchet]] adopted now?...
