* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Blanks that successfully steal faces, despite not being sapient until they do and get the memories of the person whose face they took, are treated as subhuman by most and jailed if caught simply for existing.

* KillItWithFire: Fire ''is'' particularly effective at destroying Blank space, but Lyss is rather ''obsessed'' with the idea of setting Blanks on fire, she nearly failed the written portion of the Blank Hunter exam because she put this down as her answer for ''every'' question regarding social interactions with Blanks for example.

* AwesomeButImpractical: One of the top Blank Hunters wields a combination axe/flamethrower/club. Fully developed blanks are just normal people, [[spoiler: but a select few hybrids can change their shapes to make their limbs act as weapons]], and the only thing developing Blanks have that make them out of the ordinary are dark patches of skin that don't get injured or experience pain if you stab them. A net would probably be more effective for subduing developing Blanks, albeit there wouldn't be as much of an intimidation factor.

** There are also ''animal'' Blanks, but they're relatively rare, in part because animals don't usually wear masks, so they get their faces stolen before they can multiply. They also don't seem to ever develop their bodies beyond the stolen faces, and definitely don't get the memories, either.

* CoverBlowingSuperpower:
** Part of why Rex views his ability to touch Blanks as CursedWithAwesome is that it's so unusual that it draws the immediate attention of whoever notices it (though a lot of people in Glory City assume that he's just a Blank Hunter with cutting-edge gear), and Shnee's been trained specifically to detect blanks to avoid this, though it doesn't always work.
** If someone has their mask off and a Blank ''doesn't'' try to steal their face, they're a Blank themselves. Thus, to hide, Blanks wear masks in public. Similarly, developing Blanks have incomplete physiologies with patches of Blank space that can allow them to shrug off injuries not caused by fire or water to those spots, but if anyone sees them do that...



* HalfHumanHybrid: If a human and a blank who's developed enough after taking someone's face procreate, it's possible for their children to be human-blank hybrids. Hybrids have sentience and can communicate via sign language.

Unfortunately, as [[spoiler:Rex]] can attest to, they still feel physically compelled to steal an unmasked face even if they find it morally comprehensible (and it's noted that if they ''don't'' find it abhorrent, since they're tangible, they can just walk up to someone and rip their mask off manually).

From the official summary:

In a world where ghostly Blanks can steal your face––and your life––at any moment, a young boy named Rex hunts for his brother's killer. [[CursedWithAwesome Cursed]] with the unique power to physically touch [[FaceStealer Blanks]], Rex starts to uncover darker secrets at the city's center and in his own past. Will Rex unmask the killer, or will he become just another faceless victim in the [[TitleDrop City of Blank]]?
