* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArmorIsUseless Armor is Useless] (Siber is constantly described as going shirtless and wearing nothing but mundane clothing in battle.)

* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MadeOfIron Made of Iron] (Fracture, Patch, and probably several others)

* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool Rule of Cool] (Siber can defeat Daelkyr and gods through this. Patch managed to defeat the Lord of Blades in hand to hand combat)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheRuri The Ruri] (Karin, specifically she's more a Loli BITCH than snarky)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ruritania Ruritania] (Karrnath and Shadowfast both) 
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SheIsAllGrownUp She Is All Grown Up] (played with in every conceivable level with Marie and her various identical twins.  Karin is a reverse of this, showing Thelia as a cute Loli)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheStoic The Stoic] (Fracture)
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrueArtIsAngsty True Art Is Angsty] (A defining trope of the game)

* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosRoulette Xanatos Roulette] (several examples but the most egregious being Pyriel tricking everyone into making him a Solar Deva, convincing Maya to give him her Divine Spark, and having everyone murder Zhengyi as well as Shadowspawn so that he could seize their power for himself to become a God)
