30	!!''Metro'' has examples of:
31	* AbusiveParents: Mads' original parents treated him as something to eventually be disposed of. Fortunately, he was rescued from that disposal by the woman whom he would later consider to be his real mother.
32	* BrokenBird: A year of intensive surgical interventions, and two years of advanced psychotherapy barely brought him up to "functional".
33	* AnimalsHateHim: Mads' skin emits a number of pheromones that signal "apex predator". Only a few land animals can tolerate that. If that doesn't scare off Lassie, he also has a form of a [[TheFairFolk Fae]] {{Glamour}}, which causes him to give a sense of foreboding (described as feeling that one is walking through the remains of a recent battlefield and/or a cemetery) to those around him.
34	* ChildSoldier: Mads started basic weapons training at 5, and was working as a hired mercenary at 15.
35	* ChildMage: Mads has had a talent for magic since he was 12, while Thomas is technically an Air Elemental bound to human form.
36	* CunningLinguist: He is able to speak and read English, Arabic, Russian, Danish, and Old Norse, and is vaguely conversant in some others, though his Danish needs some work.
37	* CynicismCatalyst: Metro was abducted for the use of a group of private entertainment contractors at age 12 (said "disposal", above) the scars this left run deep.
38	* {{Glamour}}: Though in some ways his 'death aura' is more of a GlamourFailure.
39	* HappilyAdopted: Mads' adoptive mother treats him far better than his biological parents ever did.
40	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Metro has NoSocialSkills, and much of the time what skills he does have are undercut by his unsteady mental state. He also has seen some of the worst which three different worlds have to offer. He is constantly blurting out things which shock even the most hardened faculty members.
41	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Mads has been known to shift into a dire wolf-like canine form.
42	* ThoseTwoGuys: Mads and Thomas. The stories started out as commentary on recent canon stories.
43	* TheWildHunt: One night a year, his body is possessed by the Master of the Hunt.
