12	!!This novel provides examples of:
13	%%* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Trayen, Nakira and Kazuo all use these.
14	%%* AgonyBeam: John Lant [[spoiler:had]] this power.
15	* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: The Bounds children all burn out their powers at the end of series 1.]]
16	%%* CodeName: At the Orphanage many of the [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual DPI]]s use these, some for secrecy, some for fun, some because they don't know their real names.
17	* DisabilityImmunity: [[spoiler: Siren's blindness protects her from gorgons.]]
18	* DisabilitySuperpower: [[spoiler: After being blinded in series 1, Sierra gains the ability to 'see' using her senses of hearing, smell, touch and even taste.]]
19	%%* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The Aeons (gods) are implied to be this.
20	* ISeeDeadPeople: Lalita Necron can see and hear dead people. This extends to being able to recognize vampires and other corporeal undead by seeing the exposed part of them (fangs, scars, that spot where their heart was violently ripped out and shown to them before they died) glowing brightly.
21	* KaleidoscopeHair: Graces hair color changes almost every night, and interestingly enough she never seems to use dye. It even blends multiple colors together.
22	* MarkedChange: When the Phaetonians start using their non passive abilities, their tribal markings will glow, the more powerful the ability the brighter the glow, if the ability is used for an extended length of time the markings will fade until a stronger power is used.
23	%%* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Chenobyl was the straw that broke the camels back, now just about anything nuclear, cosmic or secret science experiment will cause this.
24	%%* MundaneUtility: Matthew Bounds uses his power all... of... the... time... and most of the other characters don't even notice it, which is probably why things turn bad when he is {{Brought Down to Normal}}.
25	* PowerIncontinence: Silence can't talk due to his inability to disable his sonic vacuum field.
26	* SpiritWorld: The Veil, Spirit Space or the Astral Plane is a plane inhabited by astrans, reapers, spirits and ghosts. Some [=DPIs=] can access it on their own others have to die. Everyone passes through it as somepoint and can't leave until they are resurrected or reaped, unless they make it there via powers in which case it is generally easy to get out.
27	%%* SuperheroSchool: One of the buildings in the Orphanage doubles as this.
28	* TheUnmasquedWorld: The existence of various Differently Powered Individuals was revealed in 1995.
