* CharacterAlignment: It should be noted that Bob Lennon is the only player actively claiming an alignment for his character (his designation of the other characters alignment would be WordOfSaintPaul). However, in season 3, the adventurers chose their respective motivations that can be linked to traditionnal alignments.
** Grunlek: ChaoticGood. He's the one character of the party that stood his ground against the cruel laws of the Church of Whispers while his companions were ready to watch it being enacted or to leave him behind. He chose Tolerance as his motto.
** Théo/Viktor: Supposedly LawfulGood, although they occasionnaly slide into LawfulNeutral (usually Viktor who tends to place his Church above any other concern). His main objective is Justice.
** B.O.B.: Although he first identified his character as ChaoticGood, Bob recognized in season 3 that his methods are more akin to a ChaoticNeutral alignment (mostly a Type 2), thanks to his methods getting a lot of civilians caught in the crossfire and killed. B.O.B. chose to focus on a liberated mankind.
** Shin: TrueNeutral. He doesn't really care about any injustice as long as he's not directly affected and is usually the one who asks the group to focus on the objective, stopping the Intendants Guild from upsetting the balance. It's telling that he chose equity as his motivation.

* FriendlyFandoms: ''Aventures'' is often called "the new [[Franchise/LeDonjonDeNaheulbeuk Naheulbeuk]]", as both are web original, humorous take on the RolePlayingGame. The only difference is that ''Naheulbeuk'' is ''meant'' to be a parody, ''Aventures'' is supposed to be serious but often gets out of tracks because of its wisecracking participants and their unbelievable bad luck.

*** [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Lily-Rose Litchfield]] is an eleven-years-old girl who, at the beginning of the ZombieApocalypse, came back to her house and found the walls covered with blood and her zombified mother roaming in the kitchen with her throat slit. She then had to survive several weeks by herself before being found by a group of survivors. Needless to say, she's a little traumatized by the whole situation.

** After several lucky rolls and successful actions, like strangling his (wounded) captor, fighting off several zombies with a metal bar and saving a wounded survivor ''while being ready to brave bullets'', Andrew Cricket from ''Les Survivants'' is turning into this. Comments in Episode 12 compare him to Theo from ''Aventures'', [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indiana Jones]] (also done by the players), [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] and [[Creator/ChuckNorris Chuck Norris]]' master.
** Jokingly, in the more recent episodes, the players and the commentators are turning [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Lily-Rose Litchfield]] from ''Les Survivants'' into a LittleMissBadass who, if the other survivors let her, would fight off [[BigBad the Future]] by herself. The fact that she has better stats for using firearms than [[ActionGirl Janet]] has not gone unnoticed by some...

** Janet Dixon from ''Les Survivants'' is a ruthless pragmatic [[NominalHero Nominal Heroine]] who often uses a knife to defend herself from zombies and crazy survivors. Some comments and even the players themselves tend to [[UpToEleven amplify that trait]], presenting her as a crazy KnifeNut who loves to knife everything that passes within her range. In reality, while she does have problems, she's also one of the most reliable members of the group and is sometimes a surprisingly ReasonableAuthorityFigure.

She then had to survive several weeks by herself before being found by a group of survivors. Needless to say, she's a little traumatized by the whole situation.
*** Nathan Strachan. After the beginning of the ZombieApocalypse, he lost his wife during the raid of a group of plunderers. He survived alone with his son during several months, only to lose his kid during the winter (probably because of a sickness). Then, he's captured by [[HumansAreBastards the Future]] and becomes their slave. To make things worst, he gets a HopeSpot when he's rescued by the heroes, [[spoiler:only to die two episodes later when [[DroppedABridgeOnHim a group of zombies falls on him from a terrace]].

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: Some people are more invested in the storyline itself than the players hijinks, but for most fans it is precisely the good StoryToGameplayRatio that makes the series so great. Note that the [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory opposite]] (people [[JustHereForTheFunny just wanting to see the players goofing around]] and not caring about the plot) is rather rare but it is true that some persons mostly see ''Aventures'' as a {{comedy}}.

** The Churches don't trust the group and ask them to turn back and go away when they arrive to the Conclave because they're considered dangerous, incompetent and untrustworthy after the event of Wonders City and the Church of Whisper.

** In the third Aventures Live story, Grunlek managing to make [[ItMakesSenseInContext Théo's failure to empale a kid]] looks like Théo jumped to save him from falling to his death.
** The seasons finale does tend to have a big finish:
*** Season 1: Théo making a HeroicSacrifice by giving a BadassCreed while the mountain is falling
*** Season 2: B.O.B [[spoiler: unleashing his demon while Krayn throws 3 critical hits in a row and Shin having Icy gouging the BigBad's eyes]]
*** ''Starventure'': [[ButtMonkey Apple]] secures the MacGuffin, Gaar tackles a Sith lord across the room, Tyzen turns every cannons in the room on the villain and the villain [[spoiler: parries every shot safe for the last one and only by making 81/80]].
** In season 3, Théo blocks a ''critical hit'' with his own, saving B.O.B from being bisected in extremis.
** Later in season 3, Théo and B.O.B. run down a hallway filled with suits of AnimatedArmor trying to hit them as they pass in front of them. Théo blocks every single one of their blow, culminating in him blocking two armors at the same time.
** After a few hiccups and one death Théo get to save everyone by using his elemental form and flying with everyone to safety.
