* GameBreaker: Averted in general, despite appearances to the contrary. Most miraculous Arcs have some sort of NecessaryDrawback - usually, they are powerful ''or'' versatile ''or'' can be used repeatedly/precisely, but not all at once.
** Wishes and Imperial Miracles depend on the HG for their specific effects, to contrast the immense, setting-altering power they have.
** Reality Syndrome is this trope in theory... In practice, the main purpose of the Arc is to use that power to ''create'' stories, rather than [[StoryBreakerPower shatter them]], mainly by putting limitations on it.
-->[...]Whatever it is, it means that in alternate worlds where your particular group’s game is the subject of a massive Internet fandom, there are people right now shutting down whole "who’d win" fights by claiming that of course it has to be you, because how could anyone or anything beat that?
** TheAce is also this, to a lesser degree. It's described as making the character the best at winning at things. Like Reality Syndrome, in actual play it isn't necessarily anywhere near as useful as it sounds, especially because it is a colossal MP hog.
** If the HG isn't very good at vetoing, a player who's taken Wounded Angel could shoot it full of extremely specific Wounds providing strong Powers.
** Become Somebody can be very scary in the wrong hands, with its ability to sweep up everyone and ''everything'' around you into your goals. Someone with The Ace and Become Somebody is ultimately limited mainly by their role and their MP supply.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Leonardo de Montreal is extremely popular due to his bombast, and the Rats of Fortitude are one of the most popular cultures due to their swashbuckling.

* IronWoobie: Leonardo de Montreal is this game's defining example. As fits a character on a Wounded Angel Arc, [[TraumaCongaLine he tried to be great and failed while trying]], suffering an [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow incredible amount of wounds]] in the process, physical or emotional. [[TheDeterminator He survived on determination alone and kept going]], in the process binding these wounds:
** He was raised in an evil orphanage and bullied quite a lot. He ripped out his heart to re-light the sun, thinking he'd show them all. [[DudeWheresMyRespect No one showed him any gratitude]], and one guy stabbed him through the chest with a railway spike.
** He tried to make friends, but he found it difficult to live like that, so he rejected friendship, perhaps to protect others from pain.
** He went out to the Bleak Academy, in hopes of becoming a god of dreams and nightmares. Instead, he was corrupted by the Headmaster of the Bleak Academy, and he lost his sense of good and evil.
** Finally, he was stabbed through the chest ''again'' by the Headmaster and used to house a blasphemy.
** Also, [[NoSocialSkills he finds dealing with most people agonizing]], and considers himself above them all, which can't be helped by his mechanically-backed-up tendency to see their worst sides.
** He also [[ShrugOfGod may]] have been close to Jade Irinka, the previous sun, and have discarded the memory of their time together when her death made it too painful. There are hints that even more painful things may have happened to him, and that he erased all memory of them.
** He starts the "Glass-Maker's Dragon" campaign having dreams of his imminent demise for being "wicked".

** TheAce is also this, to a lesser degree. It's described as making the character the best at winning at things. Like Reality Syndrome, in actual play it isn't necessarily anywhere near as useful as it sounds.

** Become Somebody can be very scary in the wrong hands, with its ability to sweep up everyone and ''everything'' around you into your goals.

* GameBreaker: Averted in general. Most miraculous Arcs have some sort of limiting factor or drawback - usually, they are either powerful or versatile or can be used repeatedly, but not all three at once. Arcs that rely heavily on wish effects and Imperial Miracles rely heavily on the HG, for instance.

** If the HG isn't very good at vetoing, a player who's taken "Wounded Angel" could shoot it full of extremely specific Wounds providing strong Powers.

* AwesomeEgo: More or less the point of Fist-Shake XP.

* GameBreaker: The Miraculous ability "Reality Syndrome" is explicitly this.

** In theory, anyway. In practice, the main purpose of the Arc is to use that power to ''create'' stories, rather than [[StoryBreakerPower shatter them]], mainly by putting limitations on it.
** The Miraculous ability known simply as "TheAce" is also this, to a lesser degree. It's described as making the character the best at winning at things. Like Reality Syndrome, in actual play it isn't necessarily anywhere near as useful as it sounds.

** Part of the Titov [[PlanetOfHats hat]]. The family is a collection of hurtful, broken people (and [[ArtificialHuman Diana]]) tied together by a web of toxic relationships. The narrator offers a sympathetic apology at the end of the character generation section for a Titov member.

** He also [[ShrugOfGod may]] have been close to Jade Irinka, the previous sun, and have discarded the memory of their time together when her death made it too painful. There are the hints that even more painful things may have happened to him, and that he erased all memory of them.

* JerkassWoobie: Leonardo de Montreal is an arrogant, cynical misanthrope, true. However, even filtering out his contempt for basically everyone, his life's been pretty lousy. He was raised in an orphanage, was stabbed through the chest with a railroad spike, was corrupted, used to house a blasphemy, and stabbed through the chest ''again'', and starts the "Glass-Maker's Dragon" campaign having dreams of his imminent demise for being "wicked." He [[ShrugOfGod may]] also have been close to Jade Irinka, the previous sun, and have discarded the memory of their time together when her death made it too painful. Oh, and he finds dealing with most people agonizing, which can't be helped by his mechanically-backed-up tendency to see their worst sides.
** Also, there are the hints that even more painful things may have happened to him, but he erased all memory of them.

** Leonardo de Montreal has a different XP condition, but is popular because, rather in spite of, his megalomaniacal smugness.

* JerkassWoobie: Leonardo de Montreal is an arrogant, cynical misanthrope, true. However, even filtering out his contempt for basically everyone, his life's been pretty lousy. He was raised in an orphanage, was stabbed through the chest with a railroad spike, was corrupted, used to house a blashpemy, and stabbed through the chest ''again'', and starts the campaign having dreams of his imminent demise for being "wicked."

* JerkassWoobie: Leonardo de Montreal is an arrogant, cynical misanthrope, true. However, even filtering out his contempt for basically everyone, his life's been pretty lousy. He was raised in an orphanage, was stabbed through the chest with a railroad spike, was worked over by the Bleak Academy's Headmaster and stabbed through the chest ''again'', and starts the campaign having dreams of his imminent demise for being wicked. He [[ShrugOfGod may]] also have close to the Jade Irinka, the previous sun, and have discarded the memory of their time together when her death made it too painful. Oh, and his {{Jerkass}} attitude makes dealing with most people torture for him.
