Moved some character tropes over. Not a ton of time right now, so this will be an ongoing project I suspect.


* AnIcePerson: Krush's unique power.



* CutenessProximity: It's common for Liv to coo over enemy ghosts' SleepModeSize forms and talk about looking forward to trying to domesticate them; she's even done this with certain boosted forms, calling them "still cute. Evil but cute."



* HeldBackInSchool: The reason Andy is in the same grade as Liv despite being older is because he failed the previous year and therefore couldn't move up a grade.



* IdiotHero: Andy is a surprisingly straight example as not only is he usually a goofball but in battle, tends to recklessly charge in while Mike and Liv are the ones who strategize.



* JockDadNerdSon: Mike and his basketball player father have this dynamic, though it's clear his father loves him the way he is and one episode even features his father outright stating "I love you JustTheWayYouAre".
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Mike is the science, computer and gadget nerd son of a famous basketball player.



* PerkyGoth: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Liv, who wears dark clothing with pink highlights, and is rarely in a bad or depressed mood.

* SingleMindedTwins: Andy sees Jane and Stacy as this. While they are very much in sync with the other and often have similar goals, they aren't as similar at a glance, though Jane keeps some of her own interests secret from Stacy who prefers the two of them to be more similar than different.

Hero capital of the world yet no sign of them in series.

* HourOfPower: The team each has a finite amount of "Boo Energy" when transformed that's used up quicker the more they use their powers. When their reserves are depleted all their powers shutdown, including flight, often leaving them dropping out of the sky and requiring rescue by another teammate. In one episode Miss Jones manages to rig a battery for a field recharge, but says it's only viable because they're [[IncredibleShrinkingMan currently shrunken enough]] for it to be effective.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Andy and Liv both have this for Mike and Andy very vividly demonstrates this trope towards Liv; Liv, for her part, has a pretty big Little Sister Instinct and is ''fiercely'' protective of Andy.



* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Comes into play about Liv and Andy's fight about Liv revealing that her brother can't swim despite his bravado; Liv was correct that Andy shouldn't have been lying but Andy was well-within his rights to be furious that his sister revealed one of his secrets without his consent.



* ColorCodedSecretIdentity: Andy, Liv and Mike all dress in color schemes that are heavily reminiscent of their hero costumes.



* CutenessProximity: It's common for Liv to coo over enemy ghosts' SleepModeSize forms and talk about looking forward to trying to domesticate them; she's even done this with certain boosted forms, calling them "still cute. Evil but cute."



* GradeSkipper: Mike is actually a year younger than Liv (who actually is the appropriate age for their current grade) and is stated to have skipped a grade.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Fury's weapon is a bo staff while Myst fights with a bow that shoots spectral arrows.
* HeldBackInSchool: The reason Andy is in the same grade as Liv despite being older is because he failed the previous year and therefore couldn't move up a grade.
* InMediaRes: The series opens with Ghost Force openly operating as well-known heroes and we have yet to get any info on how Miss Jones recruited them or how the ghosts started invading New York.
* InsistentTerminology: Downplayed but it's not ever really shown in canon that Liv and Andy are part of a blended family as both of them refer to both parents as "Mom" and "Dad" and only refer to each other as "bro/my brother" and "sis/my sister".
* JockFatherNerdSon: Mike and his basketball player father have this dynamic, though it's clear his father loves him the way he is and one episode even features his father outright stating "I love you JustTheWayYouAre".
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Mike is the science, computer and gadget nerd son of a famous basketball player.



* NotWhatItLooksLike: When classmate Milo sticks a bouquet in Liv's locker, she's quickly flustered because she has no idea how to handle this and is further confused when Milo takes back the bouquet; turns out the flowers were for his mom and he meant to stick them in his locker but accidentally put them in Liv's because he was concerned about being seen with flowers as it didn't fit with his "cool guy" image.



* SpoiledSweet: Downplayed but the main trio is probably all somewhat well-off given that Liv and Andy are the children of decently successful film makers and Mike is the son of a well-known basketball player but are generally nice kids who are friendly and kind to their peers.

Andy, Liv and Mike, three high school kids working as a team of superheroes, known as Ghost Force, tasked with secretly hunting down and capturing the ghosts that terrorize UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. Operating from the secret underground laboratory built by Miss Jones, they are the city's only line of paranormal defense and must put their daily lives on hold in order to ghost power-up and restore the city to normalcy before citizens catch on. With inherent desire to “troublemake,” the ghosts, which are invisible to the human eye, use fright as fuel to increase their power and ability to affect the world around them.
