** Then there's the [[NewJediOrder Yuuzhan Vong]] who got ''assimilated by the [[Franchise/StarTrek Borg]]''. Let that sink in a moment.

* HesJustHiding - [[spoiler:Makes-Things: "[[HandWave I think I would know if I was dead!]]"]]

* CompleteMonster - Many of the DIS were portrayed this way, particularly [[FunWithAcronyms Twp]][[ColdBloodedTorture 'at]][[DirtyCoward wt]]. The exceptions mostly [[HeelFaceTurn defected]] when given the chance.

** Depends who you ask. Many others have [[DudeNotFunny a different view]].

* TheWoobie: Several agents go past ButtMonkey and into this when their authors get mean. The most recent contender is Cadmar, for the TraumaCongaLine he ([[GenderBender currently she]]) faced in "Dragon Lady". Even the ''Flowers'' took pity on him/her.

* CrossesTheLineTwice - The [[RapeAsComedy Rape Jar.]]

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel - [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum Take your pick.]]

* HesJustHiding - [[spoiler:Makes-Things: "[[HandWave I think I would know if I was dead!]]"

** In a Left 4 Dead Fic, the agents have to deal with a Sue that's literally a giant, swearing, zombie killing, sandwich.

* HesJustHiding - Some believe that [[spoiler:Makes-Things]] isn't really dead.
** As of June 2011, [[spoiler:Makes-Things [[IGotBetter seems to have recovered]].]]
*** quoth the man himself: "[[HandWave I think I would know if I was dead!]]"

* NightmareFuel - All those things that happen in {{PWP}}, the rapefics, the squick, and the creepy fetish fics? Unless the victim is ID'd as a replacement Sue, chances are it's a [[AndIMustScream possessed canon character]], who may or may not be [[AndIMustScream aware of what they're being forced to do]] and will possibly need medical assistance and resuscitation afterwards. And the Wraiths can possess agents as well.

* BetterThanItSounds

* UncannyValley - Sues fall into this by reason of being too perfect.

* {{Mary Sue}}[=/=]{{Marty Stu}} - The PPC uses a special definition of Mary Sue: a badly-written character that corrupts the canon for selfish or shallow reasons such that the real story could never take place. For example, Frodo would have never destroyed the One Ring if he was too busy being a badly-written love slave -- the character that sets the canon into such ruin is considered a Mary Sue to the PPC. Mary Sues, or possession Sues, are the most frequent culprits that make terrible fanfiction terrible, and thus are hunted by the PPC. Because they are badly-conceived characters that could never be complete human beings, PPC canon considers them to be actually inhuman, and possibly not even living things at all. Some agents are reformed Mary Sues, either rescued from a story because they showed a scrap of humanity or written by PPC authors who have written Mary Sues in the past and wish to exploit that in their work.

* SmallNameBigEgo - Laburnum managed to start an EditWar on ThisVeryWiki by adding tons and tons of trope examples (including subjective ones) from her stories, [[SquarePegRoundTrope whether they fit or not]].

* MissedMomentOfAwesome - Many plot developments occur completely off screen, with the reader only knowing about them due to an infodump on an agent's part.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome- Several, due to the number of known Agents and PPC stories. Some can be found in the PPC's section of [[Awesome/WebOriginal the relevant page]].

* CompleteMonster - Many of the DIS were portrayed this way, particularly Twp'atwt.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel - Take your pick.

* PlotHole - The PPC uses plot holes in much of its technology, allowing its agents to move and communicate between worlds and universes. The entirety of HQ in fact consists of bits of building joined up via plot holes. People regularly fall into HQ because of this.

* SoBadItsGood or So Bad Its Horrible - The fics which get sporked. SoBadItsGood tends to produce funnier results.
