!!This Troper Provides Examples Of:

* TheAntiNihilist: If there is no such thing as good or evil except as we define them, our only empirical data on the subject is what makes us feel good--so let's define morality around that.

** 54
* ArcSymbol
** The Dual Triangles
** Keys, spoons, flip phones
** Orion's belt
* ArcWords
** ''Coincidence''
** ''Narrative''

* BadassLongcoat: The [[Franchise/DoctorWho Captain Jack Harkness]] coat, though rarely used. The ski jacket has taken on more of this function.
* BloodLust: . . . [[HemoErotic yeah]].

* TheDividual: Perpetually searching for someone to form one with.
* CatchPhrase
** "what the hell is wrong with ____, honestly"
** "I make questionable decisions."
** "''Because I'm a masochist''."
* ComedicSociopathy: A defining character trait.
* CostumeEvolution: Will usually wear one specific outfit for a month or two at a time, and then change it up.
* TheCowl: Good lord, that cloak.
* DressedToPlunder: Frequently invoked and lampshaded, what with the tricorn, [[TheCowl cloak]], occasional boots, and generally quirky costume choices.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Played with before the [[EvilRedhead dye job]].
* EvilRedhead: By dye, at least.

* MartyrWithoutACause: Admits to having a bit of a martyr complex, crossing over with SurroundedByIdiots.
* MeaningfulName: One of the core tropes of the narrative--the idea that names ''are'' inherently meaningful.
* MeaningfulRename: ''Xenon'' is the 54th element on the Perdiodic Table. It is "the least noble of the Noble Gases" because--unlike the other elements in the column--it has occasionally been found (wait for it) FORMING COMPOUNDS with Flourine. It is primarily used in lighting applications (in an appropriate CallBack to "Luzbrilla") and emits a violet-blue glow when excited by an electric current. Tanks of liquid xenon are being employed in the search for dark matter.
* NeverMyFault: Oscillates wildly between this and ItsAllMyFault. Go figure.
* NiceHat: Owns a famous variety, but the most worthy is indisputably the [[DressedToPlunder pirate hat]].
* ThePhilosopher: Naturally.
* PurpleProse: Can occasionally veer into this territory, usually [[PlayedForLaughs intentionally]].
* RunningGag: "Thank you for the exposition."
* ShoutOut: Oh so many.
* SplashOfColor: As several have lampshaded, Xenon's wardrobe is largely [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver monochrome + red]].
* VerbalTic: "--wait"

* EvilRedhead / FieryRedhead: By dye, at least.
