9	* ActionGirl - Most female characters.
10	* AerithAndBob - You can name your character almost anything, leading to this.
11	* TheAgeless - Dragons and vampires.
12	* AllThereInTheManual - The game's wiki includes information on the races, classes, locations, and everything else a player needs to know.
13	* AndTheAdventureContinues - The nature of the game means new things are always happening. Always.
14	* AnIcePerson - Cryomancy. Examples include Emilia and Xzavior.
15	* AscendedFanboy - Outside of Sven, the game's owner, all the admin started as regular players.
16	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership - Only the strongest may rule Frostmaw.
17	* BadassPreacher - The Priest class.
18	* TheBadGuyWins - Macon succeeds in framing Kelovath for the mass murders HE committed, became King of Larket, and even married Kelovath's lover.
19	* BarBrawl - Used to be a nightly occurrence in Kelay Tavern. Still happens on occasion, but not nearly so much.
20	* BeastMan - The Feline race can range from LittleBitBeastly to full-on bipedal panthers, while Fermin are small [[RatMen humanoid rats]].
21	* BeneathTheEarth - Trist'oth and the Underdark, the drow realm. Also Craughmoyle, the dwarven city.
22	* BewareTheNiceOnes - Even the nicest characters can and will kick ass when push comes to shove. One notable is Hildegarde, the epitome of knightly chivalry and compassion, who stormed a city and ripped a man's throat out for kidnapping Josleen.
23	* BodyguardingABadass - Hildegarde, the Warrior Queen of Frostmaw, has a Queensguard.
24	* CrapsackWorld - Something is always going wrong somewhere in Lithrydel. Always.
25	* FantasticRacism - It was bound to happen. The "evil" races generally get it the worst, especially the drow and fermin.
26	* FighterMageThief - There are actually several varieties of each class to choose from. Warriors, Knights, Paladins, Death Knights, Mages, Illusionists, Necromancers, Druids, Thieves, and Assassins, among others.
27	* HalfHumanHybrid / NonHumanHumanoidHybrid- Nearly any race can mate with nearly any other... but their offspring will be sterile, preventing [[UnevenHybrid Uneven]] and {{Heinz Hybrid}}s.
28	* LovableCoward - Pilar, who is basically [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] in vampire form.
29	* MagicMusic - The specialty of the Bard class.
30	* {{Magocracy}} - The de facto leader of Xalious Village is the Archmage of the Mage's Guild, since that's where it's based, and no one has come along to try and change it (except Josleen, whose attempts were derailed by the summoning of an EldritchAbomination).
31	* MedievalEuropeanFantasy - The main setting of Hollow. Granted, there's nothing stopping you from making a character that hails from a FantasyCounterpartCulture of any realm of your choosing. The geography of the planet outside Lithrydel is vague for that very reason.
32	* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch / TokenHeroicOrc - You can find drow, vampires, orcs, and other "villainous" races on the side of good.
33	* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
34	* OurVampiresAreDifferent - They can walk in sunlight and the typical anti-vampire tools like crosses and garlic have no effect. However, dragon's blood has [[PoisonIsAcid poisonous/corrosive properties]] to them.
35	* OutsideContextProblem - The invading Preklek force, a bunch of [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent reptilian]] aliens who ripped open a portal into Hollow... Twice.
36	* PluckyGirl - Josleen may not be a powerful warrior or mage, but that doesn't stop her from running into a city of hostile giants to steal medical supplies.
37	* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead - There are so many. SO. MANY.
38	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude - Generally averted, as badly named characters are sent to the Stupid Name Room and the players made to create a new character.
39	* WingedHumanoid - Avians, along with some draconians and dragons-in-human-form.
40	* WorldOfBadass - Most player characters can kick some sort of ass. Even the {{Non Action Guy}}s tend to be resourceful and brave.
