** When Garrus gets his hands on a minigun, his dialogue is lifted straight out of [[TeamFortress2 Meet The Heavy]]. Erash gets a few Demoman references ("Oh, they're going to have to glue you back together."), and Melanis has a rocket launcher, although in his case, the Soldier is never directly referenced.

Added DiffLines:

** There are also mentions of a fast-talking salarian doctor working somewhere on Omega.


Added DiffLines:

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Mostly [[ShellShockedVeteran Ripper]] and [[DeadLittleSister Monteague]]. On a less extreme level, Weaver was a criminal on Earth, Sidonis was part of an amoral black-ops merc squad and Butler [[spoiler:murdered his wife's stalker in cold blood to protect her and has been haunted by it ever since.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Just about everyone, though Garrus and Erash are probably the frontrunners.


Added DiffLines:

** In-universe, Weaver thinks Butler is referencing StarWars, only for Butler to reveal he's never seen any of them. Not even the sequel trilogy or the bad remakes.


Added DiffLines:

* TheQuietOne: Mierin seems set to be this for the team, although there was already Melenis in more or less the same role.

Added DiffLines:

* ContinuityNod: Obviously, seeing as it's set in the Mass Effect universe with a major character from the games. But there are some more subtle references to certain aspects of the games. One example is when Erash tells his story about cheating in a casino being found out by a Spectre:
--> "You'd be surprised how much time they spend in casinos."
--> "...no, I don't think I would," Garrus said.

* Badass Crew: Garrus and his team, of course. They've got...
** A SquadNickname: Archangel (although it's also used to refer specifically to Garrus)
** A FriendlySniper: Garrus, for the most part (unless he's in Archangel mode, in which case he becomes a very ColdSniper)
** TheSmartGuy: Sensat and Butler are locked in a never-ending struggle to see which of them deserves this title more. Sensat is also TheEngineer.
** TheBigGuy: Weaver punched out a krogan on two separate occasions. Also Melanis, despite being a volus.
** MadBomber: Erash's love for all things [[StuffBlowingUp kablooie]] mean he veers close to this on occasion.
** SquishyWizard: Monteague. Their first biotic and definitely their most squishy one.
** ShellShockedVeteran: Ripper has shades of this.



* ChaseScene: With flying cars, both on Omega and Deinech. Both include a lot of shooting and explosions

* AntiVillain: Thralog Mirki'it: red sand dealer, gang leader and newly-minted orphan.
* ArcWords: ''Nothing's ever easy...''
* BloodKnight: Garrus veers into this every now and again.
--> '''Garrus's internal monologue:''' Outnumbered ten to one by people trying to kill you, in the most corrupt, evil hellhole in the galaxy, knowing you'll be lucky if you make it through the night... it doesn't get any better than this.
* CaptainObvious: Sidonis doesn't appreciate this.
-->'''Sidonis:''' Your grasp of the obvious is a fucking inspiration to our children.



* ClusterFBomb: Pretty much every time Sidonis opens his mouth, but exemplified by this:
--> The whine in Garrus's ears began to fade a little, and he realised Sidonis was still saying something.
--> "-ck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!" he was shouting.



* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming
* {{Narm}}: YMMV, naturally, but ''Endgame Part Three'' comes across as this in places.



* SingleBiomePlanet: Deinech is completly covered by an ocean. It's inhabitants live on artificial islands.
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: The ship Garrus posseses codes for is capable of irradicating all life on a planet in a relatively short time. Which is why everyone wants to get their hands on it.

to:

* PreMortemOneLiner: One of Garrus' favorite pastimes.
--> [[spoiler: '''Deus:''' I can't die! Not now! You don't have the ''right''! I'm ''Deus''! I am a ''god''-]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Garrus:''' Yeah, well, I'm an atheist.]]
--> [[BoomHeadshot *blam*]]
* RecycledInSpace: Fanon usually depicts Garrus as [[RecycledInSpace Space Batman]], but in this he's more like [[ThePunisher Space Punisher]]. Except when he's being [[RaymondChandler Space Philip Marlowe]].
* ReTool: Undergoes one about halfway through. The first two arcs make up a long story about Garrus gathering the beginnings of his team and fighting an insane Hitler-esque turian, while the next three are him and his team fighting crime on Omega.
* SingleBiomePlanet: Deinech is completly completely covered by an ocean. It's inhabitants live on artificial islands.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Ripper has shades of this.
* ShoutOut: Oh god. Where to begin?
** Erash quotes BladeRunner at one point.
** One piece of flavor-text about a salarian terrorist called Laeton is a shoutout to Peter F. Hamilton's {{Nights Dawn}}.
** In ''Omega Noire'', Sidonis repeats [[{{Clerks}} Randall's]] 'Bunch of savages in this town' line.
** When Garrus gets his hands on a minigun, his dialogue is lifted straight out of [[TeamFortress2 Meet The Heavy]].
** [[spoiler: Golf's]] last few moments are ''very'' [[spoiler: TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey]]

* WeaponOfMassDestruction: The ship Garrus posseses codes for is capable of irradicating all life on a planet in a relatively short time. Which is why everyone wants to get their hands on it.it.
