10 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Part of the premise, with exotic hair colors and TechnicolorEyes being commonplace. The thought of being "vanilla"[[note]]like RealLife humans[[/note]] is almost unthinkable. |
11 | * ForegoneConclusion: The narrator will live (at least until the next generation), and will have at least one child, due to the story requiring ten generations. |
12 | * LawOfInverseFertility: Saying which generations this applies most to would be spoiling.[[note]]Generations 1, 4, and 5. Generation 3 is a bit of a grey area.[[/note]] |
13 | * LoveInterest: There's one every generation. [[spoiler:Sometimes there's more than one.]] |
