* ActorAllusion:
** Martin Billany was born in Knutsford, which is where Nylocke's player resides.
** Asterob's, hat glasses, and his tendency to use mannerisms portraying him as an apologetic brit have been said by Niosi to be a reference to the actor who plays him.
** Ravenfreak's voice actor is... well, [[ShapedLikeItself a voice actor]] (Lucien Dodge to be precise).
** In episode 4, Rockoon, in exasperation after having been constantly misidentified as a rodent, exclaims "Do I ''look'' like a lab rat?" His voice actor, Deven Mack Jr., played the character of Lab Rat in ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}''.
** Apparently Michele Knotz is just as goofy and lighthearted as Kindarspirit when she's out of character.
** [=JonTron=] was chosen for Sniperwheel because he had a very entertaining fake New York accent that he put on in his youtube videos.
* CelebrityVoiceActor: Unlike most of the rest of the cast, Jafari is not a voice actor by trade, though he ''was'' chosen because of the fake Noo Yawk accent he sometimes puts on in [=JonTron=] videos.
* TheDanza: Like Niosi, the character's username is Kirbopher, and his real name is (probably) Christopher.



** Michele Knotz provides TOME's "System Voice" narration in episode 1 and the Traveler's Guide. She's most known for various voices in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' from seasons 9 onward, including major characters like May and Jessie.

* TalkingToHimself: Averted, surprisingly enough. Even though the cast is filled with a roster of incredibly talented and versatile voice actors, each of them plays only one character. [[spoiler: Or rather, one ''player'' - characters who are controlled by the same player share their voice actor. This was one of the earliest hints that Zetto and Kirbopher were one and the same - both were voiced by Chris Niosi. Zetto and Tigerlilly were also credited as having been played by other actors than the ones who played Kirbopher and Kizuna respectively, before TheReveal.]]

to:

* TalkingToHimself: RealLifeRelative: Chris Niosi and Alison Fanelli (who voices Splat) are brother and sister.
* RelationshipVoiceActor: Most of the cast in TOME have also appeared in ''VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail'', the result of that game's casting and voice director, Deven Mack, also assisting with the casting and direction of TOME.
** Creator/LittleKuriboh is the creator of Series/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries, and [=ShadyVox=] and Kirbopher are two collaborators on that series.

** This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ad-diA2K7nM promotional video]]. for Kirbopher's panel, premiering a new TOME episode at Kamicon, starts with [[Creator/LittleKuriboh Yami Yugi]], introducing Kirbopher, and failing at pronouncing Kirbopher's name correctly. Then Nylocke drops in to try to help! Hilarity ensues.



* ActorSharedBackground: The characters in TTA and TOME are all based on users from, the now defunct, TV Tome forums to an extent.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Most of the characters in TTA and TOME are originally based on members of the [=TVTome=] forums. Kirbopher15 and Zetto are both based on (different aspects of) Niosi himself, Alpha is based on his best friend Mike Luckas (Ultimate Creature II), and Ruri and Flamegirl were based on their respective girlfriends at the time.

* Of all the prominent characters (which is to say, the ones who receive character bios on Niosi's Deviantart and Tumblr - [[spoiler: merging characters who are known to share the same player, and excluding Demon Alpha and Demon Zetto]]):
** 19 are male, and 10 are female. Assuming that this is a representative sample, it means that about 1/3 of TOME's users are female.
** National origins break down thusly:
*** 14 are from the United States (again, assuming a representative sample, this means that about 1/2 of TOME's users are American)
*** 5 are from the United Kingdom
*** 2 are from Canada
*** 1 is from Japan
*** 1 is from China
*** 1 is from Vietnam
*** and 5 have an unknown origin
** And character classes break down like this ([[spoiler: this time counting all the characters shared by individual players, because their classes may differ]]):
*** 7 are Fighters
*** 4 are Swordsmen
*** 5 are Spellcasters
*** 3 are Morphological
*** 9 are Animalistic, making it the most common class;
*** 2 are Mechanical, making it the rarest class
*** and 2 have an unknown class
* Most Mechanical-class characters have a characteristic reverb to their voice (Sniperwheel, Armoora, the SpearCarrier voiced by Liz Losey), but Elescope, strangely, does not.

* Alpha has never appeared in an episode without Flamegirl, and Gamecrazed has never appeared in an episode without Nylocke ''or'' Kirbopher. Only two members of the FiveManBand have appeared solo: Nylocke (in shorts 03 and 06) and Flamegirl (in short 04).

Not quite - \"Plan Z\" breaks that streak, being a minute shorter than \"The Legend of Nylocke\".


* The longest episode is "Fraggedquest", at 29:29; the briefest is "Infectuation", at 16:31. The longest short is "The Legend of Nylocke", at 09:05; the briefest is "Hackers", at 02:44. Oddly enough, each short seems to be an increase in length. (All lengths are taken from the Blip versions.)

Unless Starlight Speedway is actually relevant to the plot, it does not need to be spoiler covered. The fact that the jingle plays at the beginning of each episode is as much trivia as Alpha\'s hair being red is. It\'s not that noteworthy to have episodes where some or all of the main characters are around; countless other shows do that all the time.


* Five of the ten episodes feature every member of the FiveManBand appearing together in the same scene: 01, 04, 05, 08, and 10.

to:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Though Nylocke was always intended to be English in the remake (the original was American, though an OccidentalOtaku), Niosi had originally considered Casey Mongillo (an American, who was instead chosen for Gamecrazed) and Blake Swift (who presumably would have spoken with his natural English accent instead of the FakeAmerican he uses as Alpha) for the part. Martin Billany was considered for a part, but it was Thorment, which eventually went to [[HappyHarry Harry Partridge]].

!! Misc. Trivia:

* None of the characters appear in every episode, but Nylocke comes closest, appearing in nine out of ten episodes (missing episode 07), and four out of seven shorts (though two of those - 02 and 07 - are in stock footage). Of the five main characters, Alpha and Gamecrazed are tied for the fewest appearances, in just eight episodes and the two stock-footage shorts (although Kirbopher, though he appears in nine episodes, is only seen at the very end of episode 09, and has no dialogue).
* Of the five main characters, four of them sing at some point during the run of the show:
** Alpha performs "Battle On" (original version and rock remix), and [[spoiler:"Starlight Speedway"]];
** Kirbopher performs "Battle On" (original version and jazz remix, though [[spoiler: he may be performing the latter as Zetto]]);
** Flamegirl performs [[spoiler: "Starlight Speedway"]], though [[NonSingingVoice it isn't her regular voice actress singing]];
** and Nylocke, of course, performs "Nylocke's Theme Song". He's the only character who sings "in-universe", as opposed to over the end credits.
