* [[FanFic/ProjectArashi Project: Arashi]] - A MegaCrossover combining LoveHina and MahouSenseiNegima with themes from FinalFantasy, PiratesOfTheCaribbean, DungeonsAndDragons, with all roads inevitably leading to a future that is {{Franchise/Halo}}. Aspects of modern warfare (no, not [[ModernWarfare that one]]) crop up throughout due to his military career.
* [[FanFic/StardustTheDarkPokemonWars Stardust: The Dark Pokémon Wars]] - A DarkerAndEdgier {{Pokemon}} fic that follows a squad of elite pilots in a global war instigated by Team Rocket, mostly from the perspective of Commander Mars, who was betrayed by Jupiter and thus defected to the good guys.
* [[FanFic/BrothersInArms Brothers in Arms]] - An AlternateUniverse FullMetalPanic story that takes place three years after TSR and tells a significant chunk of the novels in a different way. It also includes a tie-in to ModernWarfare that was oblique at first, but now is rather obvious.

* AuthorAppeal: Some mention of DragonForce, typically namedropping a song as suggested BGM, appears in all of his works ever since he discovered them.

** "I can't see this having a happy ending" or some variant thereof

* CelebCrush - Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, and Creator/LauraBailey.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight - Way back shortly after the end of the Mahorafest arc in MahouSenseiNegima, this guy just ''pulled out of his ass'' the potential of Chao's unspecified backstory being related to {{Halo}}. Flash-forward to the end of the series and Negi has built a very Halo-esque orbital elevator in Mahora.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt - Seems to have been the general response among his close circle of friends regarding his current LoveInterest before they got together; apparently everyone but her knew he was sweet on her, and everyone but him knew she was sweet on him.

* LikeBrotherAndSister - Previously had this sort of relationship with [[strike:four]] three different females, with all [[strike:four]] three of them having been [[strike:mostly]] platonic and one of them even being a lesbian, until a completely unrelated conversation with the older of the two younger ones ended up prompting an accidental [[LoveConfession confession]].
* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces - Minus the sexy bits. And this problem has now been corrected.

* ObliviousToLove - Intentionally so in the case of his current LoveInterest. Prior to getting together with her, whenever she made a comment that could be construed as being a sign of interest, he purposely did not read it in that way due a desire to avoid his old, prone-to-failure habit of going after girls already in a relationship.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend

** Not necessarily a bad reason

* BerserkButton - Disparage Karen Traviss at your own peril. Also, any instance of FiveRoundsRapid is the quickest way to get him frothing at the mouth.

** An admittedly-bad bastardization of [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Davey Jones']] "For now" line in reference to the East India Company owning the ''Dutchman'' used whenever applicable
** The ShoutOut [[{{Halo}} "Alien basterds"]]

* CelebCrush - Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, and LauraBailey.

* FantasticRacism - Utterly hates all species of [[ScaryDogmaticAliens The Covenant]]. Will tolerate [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Elites]] when they're on the [[{{Halo}} UNSC]]'s side, but is vitriolic against them in HaloReach to the point of absurdity. Also hates elves. Generally has nothing against other nonhuman races but usually never plays anything but a human in any game with racial options.
* {{Geek}}/{{Nerd}}/{{Otaku}} - Whichever term actually applies, to {{Halo}} and the Clone Wars time period of StarWars. There's very little information on Halo or the Clone Wars that he does not either possess or can instantly acquire. It has been attributed that he has forgotten more about Halo than most people will ever know.

* [[LaserGuidedKarma GPS-Guided Karma]] - As anyone familiar with guided munitions knows, GPS is more accurate than laser guidance. He is firmly-entrenched in the belief that all bad deeds he performs will be punished with absurd [[BuffySpeak disproportionality]] to the deed in question, if not immediately then when it would cause the most harm to his life. On the flip side, good deeds serve only to fractionally lessen the severity of the next karmic retribution, if they're acknowledged at all.
