8	----
9	!!Tropes:
10	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Nack and Psycho get this from not only [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Elmyra]], but also [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls The Amoeba Boys]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Control Freak]].
11	** Fiona Fox has one in the form of [[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay Don Weaso]].
12	** Rasticore gets one in the form of Riptor [[spoiler:until the adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly'' where he tells her off and states his hate for her, leaving Riptor broken before she briefly tries to take revenge.]]
13	* AccidentalMisnaming: The Harvey demon that's given the name [[NamedByTheAdaptation Nousagi]] becomes very hard to remember to everyone so much, he's given accidental nicknames like "Nelvana", "Natsumi" or "Nobody", [[BerserkButton much to his frustration]].
14	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: While retaining his personality from his canon version, Rasticore becomes a little more grumpy and cynical when he lost his arm and eye.
15	* AdaptationalHeroism:
16	** Nack and Psycho (as of some of their friends) were villains in their own respective continuities. Here, they are total heroes.
17	** Batula, in [[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay the game he comes from]], plotted to kill his descendant Conker before transforming him to a bat in order to feed on helpless villagers. Here, Batula (though he still does those things in the adaptation version) has a more noble side and is one of the allies of the Freelance Bounty Hunters and Sonic Heroes.
18	* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the [[VideoGame/ChzoMythos game series he was from]], Chzo was implied to be nothing but an [[AlmightyIdiot idiot god with nothing but pain to satisfy]]. In this fanfic series, Chzo is shown to be capable of speaking telepathically and torture [[ForTheEvulz for sick pleasure]]. [[spoiler:It helps that he is the reincarnation of Bill Cipher who managed to [[Recap/GravityFallsS2E20WeirdmageddonPart3TakeBackTheFalls speak an incantation that revives him in this series after being erased by the Pine Twins]].]]
19	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the [[VideoGame/EdnaAndHarveyTheBreakout Edna]] [[VideoGame/EdnaAndHarveyHarveysNewEyes games]], Dr. Marcel only wanted to eradicate childness out of patients (though his experimenting on his son Alfred leads to some questioning). Here, while still the same as he was, not only does he plot to kill off all [[ImaginaryFriend Imaginary Friends]] who exist physically like [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends the ones from Foster's]], but also was responsible for [[spoiler:killing Edna's mother.]]
20	* AdaptationOriginConnection: In this series, both [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendsOfTreasureIsland Treasure Island]] and the [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy Fazbear Franchise]] have a huge strong connection with [[VideoGame/ChzoMythos Chzo and those that follow]].
21	* AdaptationExpansion: Some of the stories, particularly the version of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendsOfTreasureIsland'', tries to fill in some of the gaps and {{Plot Hole}}s that are left while expanding the character developments of certain characters (like, for example, both Long John Silver and [[spoiler:Pew]]).
22	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Though it's more of Adaptation CharacterDevelopment, a few characters are shown to have these, but one of the most notable ones shown to have these as the stories progress are Nack, Count Batula, Mr. Bump, Don in a way, [[VideoGame/EdnaAndHarveyTheBreakout Harvey]], [[VideoGame/EdnaAndHarveyHarveysNewEyes the Harvey demons]], somewhat [[spoiler:Toffee]], and [[spoiler:Pew]].
23	* AffectionateNickname: Batula is given the nickname, "Bat Squirrel", which he tolerates and accepts.
24	* AlternateContinuity:
25	** Of mainly the ''Franchise/{{Sonic\|TheHedgehog}}'' series with other shows and films.
26	** Starting from its appearance in Season 2's "The Galaxy Cauldron", ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' has its own alternate continuity as well.
27	* AlternateUniverseFic: The series itself takes place in a alternate universe where there is some LooseCanon on the Sonic lore with some {{Animesque}} and serialization thrown in.
28	* ArcVillain: During the adaptions of the ''VideoGame/ChzoMythos'' and ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' series leading in to Season 4 of the series, it becomes clear that the arc villain is Chzo. And during the 3rd Freddy's game adaption, [[spoiler:gains a new form in the form of [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]].]]
29	* AscendedExtra: Compared to [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil the show he resides in]], Rasticore has a bit more involvement without being [[TheyKilledKennyAgain blown up]].
30	* BigBad: Consisting of not just [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]], but also villains like [[WesternAnimation/TheTick Chairface Chipendale]], [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], [[Franchise/DCUniverse Ultra-Humanite]] and even the Dark Legion. The most reoccurring villains are that of Dr. Eggman and [[BigBadEnsemble The Order of Ixis]] led by [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Mammoth Mogul]], [[VideoGame/SonicBoom Lyric]], and [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Toffee]]. As of Season 4, [[spoiler:the major villain [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] has become the Season 4 arc villain!]]
31	* TheChewToy: This has occasionally happened to either Dingo or Don Weaso sometimes.
32	* CityOfAdventure: The bounty hunters' home of New York City is filled with much adventure as does the world around them.
33	* TheCommissionerGordon: Gordon himself appears and is this. [[spoiler:It's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] however as it's not the real Gordon since he's been dead for years. The one posing as Gordon is [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] who actually serves as this. He stops posing as Gordon near the Season 3 finale arc, though Discord does actually end up being an ally to the bounty hunters.]]
34	* CompositeCharacter:
35	** The ''Legends'' version of Long John Silver, while retaining some of his original personality from the series he's from, also has his personalities from both ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'' and ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'', [[spoiler:which are key elements on his growing friendship on [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Swiper]] that eventually leads him to both a HeelRealization and HeroicSacrifice to save Swiper's soul.]]
36	** [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Star Butterfly]], while also retaining her original personality, also has the personalities of [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Taran]] and [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Cavin]].
37	** While retaining his game incarnation with personality, Dr. Eggman also has bits of his [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog western]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM animated]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground counter]][[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom parts]].
38	* ContinuityReboot[=/=]FixFic: Of both the ''Sonic'' franchise, which combines to a somewhat UltimateUniverse series and later on, once properly introduced in Season 2, [[spoiler:''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''.]]
39	* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:In the adaptation of ''Legends'', the AmplifierArtifact that Pew and his Order members searched for is heavily implied to have some sort of dark corruption to anyone who wields it!]]
40	* CrackPairing: InUniverse and PlayedForLaughs in a mocking manner toward Ridley being associated with [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] (as mostly an insult) with Ridley obviously not taking it well.
41	* ADayInTheLimelight: The spinoffs and a few main fics consist of these.
42	* DaywalkingVampire: [[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay Count Batula]] is shown to be this in this continuity, but he wears a [[MacGuffin medallion]] that protects him from sunlight while keeping his usual powers.
43	* DarkIsNotEvil: A common running theme through some of the villains and antis throughout the series.
44	* DeathByAdaptation:
45	** [[spoiler:Both King River Butterfly and Gloassaryck are both dead by the time we meet Star in this series.]]

47	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Nack and Nic's parents are dead before the start of the series, but both are fondly remembered by them and the grandparents.
48	* DesignatedHero: InUniverse, Valchir and some of the officers don't think highly of the bounty hunters because they believe that the heroes let some villains like Eggman, [[VillainsOutShopping who don't do anything during their off time]], be seen in public and be among the crowd at times.
49	* TheDogWasTheMastermind: In the adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', [[spoiler:Bellwether was still responsible for the conspiracy in making prey turn against predator. However, for this version, and a few other fics later on connected to it, it's {{subverted\|Trope}} when it's revealed that it was [[WesternAnimation/RockDog Linnux]] (alongside Dr. Eggman) who was the true mastermind behind the conspiracy as a plot to kill all the prey with the Night Howler infected predators for a predator buffet (with an added bonus of turning the Night Howler infected predators into Eggman's [[UnwillingRoboticisation robotic slaves]]).]]
50	* EmergencyTransformation:
51	** [[spoiler:In the Nack and Psycho version of LOTI's ''Dragon'', the baby dragon Sarah, Psycho's girlfriend, wanted is absorbed into ink and was in danger of drowning. Having no other choice, she does an emergency blood transfusion as it's fully consumed by the ink, which prompts it to be [[ToonTransformation reborn]] as a Toon dragon, one who she dubs as [[VideoGame/{{Cuphead}} Grim Matchstick]] who would later play a role in the series.]]
52	** [[spoiler:In the [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine Bendy]] adaptation, it's revealed that both Oscar and Dr. Sorkin from the Jurassic Park game adaptation had gone through this with both having reptilian DNA into their blood systems, being reborn as [[Franchise/{{Tekken}} Alex]] and [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Riptor]] respectively, much to the Freelancers' shock.]]
53	* EscapedFromHell: In one story, the bounty hunters break Hell to help free their loved ones. However, it turns out that it caused [[spoiler:many escaped souls who were suppose to stay dead to escape, including [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendsOfTreasureIsland Pew]].]]
54	* HappilyAdopted:
55	** In one story, it's revealed that [[spoiler:because Von Kriplespac lost his father in the [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 ARK]], he was taken in and raised by [[VideoGame/{{Cuphead}} Werner Werman]], who he accepts as a loving father to him.]]

58	* HybridMonster: A monster girl who is a hybrid of both dragon and Septarian named [[CuteMonsterGirl Kandy]], who turns out to be [[spoiler:the hybrid daughter of her [[AbusiveParents father]], [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Seth of Septarsis]],]] is found and later rescued in ''The St. Olga's Syndrome'' during a mission to rescue a kidnapped [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Mimi]] being forced there. She, later on in the series, joins the Freelancers to assist in finding the Nega Emeralds.

60	* InSpiteOfANail: Though he doesn't lose his finger to Moon, Toffee still loses a finger, though in this series, it's to [[spoiler:Phage.]]
61	* KnightOfCerebus:
62	** Chzo has little to no humor whenever he makes an appearance. [[spoiler:It's {{subverted\|Trope}} and {{averted\|Trope}} once the ritual in the adaptation of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' transforms him to his true self: Bill Cipher, who is every bit as humorous as he was in his [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls canon series]].]]
63	** [[spoiler:Solego and Evil!Alice both play this straight in the ''Bendy'' adaptation due to the former being the [[AbusiveParents manipulator to Mordred]] and the latter on her sinister motives and what she does to Boris.]]
64	** As of the series he came from, [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime The Lich]] has little to no humor when he makes his appearance to steal people and the crests before fighting the Freelancers.
65	* LivingLieDetector: Both Justitia (since his revival in Season 4) and his Camelot counterpart both know when someone is lying, much to some's frustrations.
66	* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: Like in ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', this series' version of Earth consists of FunnyAnimals, Toons, and even humans co-existing in the present day.
67	* MagicVersusScience: This is the conflict that arises in the Mewni Arc, [[spoiler:which eventually gets resolved when defeating the Camelot version of [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Dark Gaia]] causes a [[ResetButton timeline reset]] that brings the Camelot/Mewni world merged with not only the Arabian Nights world, but also bring [[TakeAThirdOption both magic and science on equal terms]].]]
68	* MaliciousMisnaming: Scourge and his gang purposely misname Pew's name on purpose, even going so far as to call him "[[ActorAllusion Rackstraw]]".
69	* MercyKill:
70	** [[spoiler:Pew's 1770s death in this continuity's adaptation of [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendsofTreasureIsland the show he came from]] ends up as this as it was heavily implied that the AmplifierArtifact was corrupting him so badly, that he had to be killed by not just [[ActionGirl Jane]], but Nack and Batula's assistance as well!]]
71	** [[spoiler:The reveal in one story on what happened to Queen Comet in the past is that Mewberty had struck her and she was losing herself. So much, she begs Toffee to kill her before losing herself and never tell Moon about it once he does. [[PoorCommunicationKills This leads to Moon believing he did it out of spite]].]]

76	** [[spoiler:In the adaptation of the Bendy Arc, Rasticore finally realizes that his anger issues and his distrust on Mordred (alongside blaming him for Mordred changing the past that caused ''[[ThePurge The Great]] [[GenocideBackfire Septarian Purge]]'') caused his adopted brother to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero (temporarily) lose his sanity]], thanks to Solego, making him realize that he should [[TookALevelInKindness be nicer to him]].]]
77	* PoorCommunicationKills: During the ''Legends'' Arc, Wave tries to get Betemesis to understand that Pew isn't meant to be understood while not hearing her side of the story. This leads to Betemesis leaving, then joining the Order Of Ixis, and after time traveling back to the past, [[spoiler:eventually getting her memories erased after seeing Past!Pew die. Jet and Storm even {{lampshade\|Hanging}}s how the whole mess [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot could have been avoided had Wave just let Betemesis tell her side and actually listen instead]] [[NotNowKiddo of cut her off]].]]
