World of Mayrin contains examples of:
- Everyone Is Bi: Not everyone, necessarily, but a larger percentage of the population in Mayrin is bi/pansexual than would be statistically likely in the real world.
- Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?: Sorcerers, in this world, are a stigmatized group in society, seen as "unnatural" for the inherent magic they were born with. Many keep their sorcery a closely guarded secret, especially where hate groups such as The Destined are present.
- Life Imitates Art: In order to get the BOIS out of the quarantined city of Breaca, Astrid claimed that there were "Portals to the Abyss" threatening Monark. When they reached the city, Anastasia summoned Togmauth from the black orb, which opened an actual portal to the Abyss.
- Two Girls to a Team: Runa and Astrid being the only two female party members.
- Terrible Trio: The Destined have two terrible trios, the Bishops, and Howard's own entourage consisting of himself, Kayden Williams, and Cynthia Dageress.
- Weird Moon: Mayrin has three moons Lumos, Albos, and Umbros.
Characters:
The BOIS:
Astrid Rowan-Westra
- Parental Abandonment: Astrid lost not one, not two, but four parents by the time she was twelve. The list is still growing.
- The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: Astrid was sent on a mission by the Raven Queen to find and kill a specific vampire. Too bad Darya found her first.
- Trauma-Induced Amnesia: Astrid somehow lost all recollection of four years of her life without realizing it (and only discovered this upon realizing that she was sixteen, not twelve like she had thought). This could be due to Astrid repressing her memories of being experimented on by the Destined or a particularly strong Modify Memory spell.
- You Can't Go Home Again: Her childhood home was burned down right in front of her, with her parents trapped inside.
Eamon Ferrorum
- Awesome, but Impractical: Eamon primarily fights with two swords, which wouldn't be much of a problem if he didn't specialize in dueling.
- Fallen Angel: Eamon is a rare example of a fallen aasimar who fell before he ever was able to transform. This must have happened at some point during his childhood, but he just doesn't remember how.
- Good Feels Good: After his solo mission with Dario and Mettia, Eamon had a change of heart about the wellbeing of the people around him, even those who are not on his side, switching his alignment from lawful neutral to lawful good, and swearing a paladin's oath to protect his country. He figured out these feelings after Mettia nearly killed him out of fear and he still felt compelled to heal her.
- Lineage Comes from the Father: Like his dad, Eamon is an aasimar, while his mom is just a standard human. In addition, the noble side of Eamon's family can be traced back through his father's line.
- Skeleton Motif: Fitting with his edgelord aesthetic, even his transformation into his aasimar form comes complete with hollow black eyes, translucent skin, and glowing skeletal wings.
- Slave to PR: His lawful neutral alignment is primarily the result of an almost unhealthy obsession with public approval, which in turn stems from his current status as an ambassador (and future status as a nobleman If his parents let him come back home at all).
- Terror Hero: Much of Eamon's usefulness in battle comes from his ability to transform into a skeletal nightmare being when he is agitated or afraid, scaring his enemies into backing away.
- Wardrobe Wound: Eamon's encounter with a horde of zombies left his clothes covered in blood and guts. Rather than washing them like a normal person would, he decided to throw them away and buy a new set.
- You Didn't Ask: So many of the party's issues would be at least partially solved if Eamon had said something in time, especially after he Started getting prophetic visions from his deva, but alas, he is not the sort of person to share anything willingly without being asked. Sometimes repeatedly.
Genitos
- Outliving One's Offspring: Genitos, whose 18-month old daughter died suddenly and tragically, causing him to search for a way to bring her back to life.
Helion Pike
Ivan
Kopulus Drakenzex
Runa Raudspar
- Close to Home: Watching Bella's death at the hands of Astrid and her glaive sent Runa into intense distress, possibly because her father was killed the same way right in front of her.
- The Smurfette Principle: Now that Astrid has been recaptured by Howard Moreau, Runa is the only girl left on the team.
Tilak Redmond
Eclipse Merchant Band:
Effrit
- The Gambler: In a literal sense. A lot of the time she can be found playing cards with Borus, she was also one of two members of Eclipse to enter the Dragon Gambit tournament.

The Crimson Wright:
Gozen Kirigo

- Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Carson's escape to being caught ratio is the highest among the party's enemies.
Howard Moreau
- Beard of Evil: Sports a well groomed goatee, in case the superiority complex and human experimentations were too subtle
- Faux Affably Evil: Howard is surprisingly polite compared to the others in the Destined, but his good manners drop immediately when feels like he needs to rub something in. He also drops his polite demeanor when taunted or mocked as Eamon found out
