2----
3!!Tropes included:
4* AllThereInTheManual: The Wikia is a good source of information about the characters... as long as you don't mind Spoilers aplenty.
5* AmbiguousInnocence: Utisz is supposedly not evil but innocent.
6* TheBigGuy: Dake. Loves his sweets and possesses borderline SuperStrength.
7%%* BelligerentSexualTension: Tommy and Dake.
8* DemonicPossession: Utisz needs a human body to live in, since this offers some protection from [[WeakenedByTheLight sunlight]].
9* DepravedBisexual: Jack. [[DracoInLeatherPants Doesn't stop him from being hot as hell, though]].
10* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The beginning of the comic compared to rest. ArtEvolution not withstanding, Dake is not chubby, he doesn't seem to possess his super strength, and Tommy is much more... aggressive than in later chapters.
11* EldritchAbomination: Utisz certainly ''thinks'' he's this. However, unless he's been hiding it well, he's nowhere near as powerful as most examples.
12%%* ImmortalityImmorality
13%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Hidukul
14* JigsawPuzzlePlot: Tommy and Dake's relationship may take center stage, but the backstories of the various characters, the political climate and overall cosmology are only revealed bit by bit.
15%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Horus and Hidukul.
16%%* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Tommy . . . Sort of.
17%%* ObfuscatingStupidity: Horus.
18* OurSoulsAreDifferent: ColorCodedForYourConvenience, no less.
19** [[color:blue: Blue]]: Good souls that can pass on without regrets.
20** [[color:orange: Yellow]]: Morally ambiguous souls that have sinned, but can still find redemption.
21** [[color:red: Red]]: Evil souls beyond hope.
22* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Cain. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] since the man himself is a NiceGuy [[TheWoobie Woobie]] - the ''real'' problem is Utisz.]]
23* NeverFoundTheBody: Draco.
24%%* PsychopathicManchild
25* ReallyGetsAround: Tommy.
26** Actually an odd case. Tommy is actually borderline asexual - sex isn't really that big of a deal for him. A case of TruthInTelevision since not everyone who engages in wanton consensual sex actually ''enjoys'' it.
27* RapeAsBackstory: Hidukul.
28* {{Seme}}: Averted. The author went out of her way to make the main pairing as equal as possible.
29* StartOfDarkness: Utisz was a neutral being whose job was to carry souls to their destination; that is until he accidentally swallowed one.
30** [[spoiler: ...though this happened after he met Tommy's mom and fell for her ''hard''.]]
31%%* TechnicalPacifist: Dake.
32* UsedToBeASweetKid: Jack. [[spoiler: According to WordOfGod, Jack was [[FreudianExcuse sexually abused by his mother]], leaving his understanding of appropriate behavior ''hideously'' maimed.]]
33%%* {{Uke}}: Averted. See Seme, above.
34* {{Yandere}}: Cain believes Utisz is this for Tommy. [[spoiler: He's not. It's Tommy's dead mother he's crazy for.]]
