History Series / TheImperfects

* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Juan doesn't remember anything he does in chupacabra form, and almost any time he's told what he's done, he is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified at his own actions]].

*** [[spoiler: The ambiguity is pretty much gone by the final episode, where they are living together and going to Abbi's mum's house for dinner.]]

* BadPowersGoodPeople: All three of the main characters have powers that can easily harm (or even kill) others, but they are still good-natured, well meaning people and eventually learn to use their powers for good.
* BerserkButton: All three of the imperfects do NOT like being experimented on.
* BlessedWithSuck: The main trio are a Banshee (who would like to sing again without shattering glass), a Succubus (who would like to have a conversation without people proclaiming their love or lust to her) and a Chupacabra (who would like to wake up without tasting puppy).

-->'''Abbi:''' What is wrong with you?
-->'''Tilda (cheerfully):''' Lots of things.

* InsultFriendlyFire: Later in the series, Juan and Tilda have gotten frustrated enough with the plot's tendency toward MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate that they start insulting scientists at the drop of a hat. Abbi, who is training to become a scientist, has a few issues with that attitude, but they NoTrueScotsman her out of the "scientist" category rather than go the PresentCompanyExcluded route.

* JekyllAndHyde: GenderInverted. [[spoiler:Isabel Finch is a manifestation of Dr. Burke's Id.]]

* LivingAphrodisiac: Abbi is a Succubus whose pheromones make people attracted to her.
* MadScientist: Dr. Alex Sarkov is an eccentric and morally flexible Aussie scientist who is responsible for the protagonists' mutations. [[spoiler:It's revealed that Alex isn't even the real Alex Sarkov, but the genetic creation of a man who '''is'''.]] He's not the only one laying claim to the title though and the number of scientists with a functioning moral compass in the show is rather low, to the point that Abbi isn't sure if she wants to be called a scientist. [[spoiler:Given Burke's Finch persona and Abbi's misuse of her powers, the only one who might qualify as morally competent is actually Monday, who at least tried to keep her nanobots from escaping.]]
* MakeMeWannaShout: Tilda's power set as a banshee together with hyper hearing.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Tilda isn't going to let the next person to die be anyone she cares about. Or Sarkov.

* NoodleIncident: "Introduction to Modern Poetry"; Burke's leverage to convince Sarkov to cure the others. All we know is that Sarkov was eight years old, though it's implied that he cheated in some way to get a passing grade.
* OfficialKiss: {{Subverted}}. [[spoiler:Midway through Episode 10, it seems like Juan and Tilda are going to have one, but instead they hold hands and she rests her head on his shoulder, signaling that their romantic feelings are very much real but that they're not entering a relationship just yet.]]
* OurBansheesAreLouder: Tilda is a banshee who also has SuperHearing. [[spoiler:In Episode 7, she learns to use her screaming powers '''through a phone call''' to destroy someone's brain]].
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Juan transforms into a Chupacabra when people he cares about are threatened.

-->'''Sarkov:''' [[spoiler:Nate]] might look like a monster, but something human is driving him.
-->'''Juan:''' Oh, yeah, like you'd know.
-->'''Sarkov:''' Yes. Like I would know.
-->'''Tilda:''' We did kill [[spoiler:Melanie and Qamara]].
-->'''Sarkov:''' Wait, can I get like a "previously on"?
* PowerIncontinence: The main problem of the characters. Abbi can't shut off her pheromones that have everyone around her fall in love with her, Tilda can't sing without shattering glass or turn off her super-hearing and Juan can't control either turning into the Chupacabra nor his actions in that form. [[spoiler:They all learn some degree of fine control over the course of the season.]]

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: the main trio consists of a singer with banshee-esque powers, a scientists who can use her phermones to manipulate others' emotions, and a graphich novellist who turns into a chupacabra.

-->'''Abbi:''' What is wrong with you?
-->'''Tilda (cheerfully):''' Lots of things.
* ShoutOut: Episodes 9 and 10 are named ''Film/AllMonstersAttack'' and ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'' respectively.
* SkewedPriorities: Sponson seems more concerned over the fact he lost his nose to Juan's chupacabra form over the fact he nearly lost his life to said chupacabra.
* SmoochOfVictory: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. After Tilda and Juan make a bet on whether or not Sarkov brings a gun when he meets them, she points out that he could have requested a kiss from her if he won.

* WouldHurtAChild: Sponson is all too willing to kill Paloma in order to get information from Juan. Too bad for Sponson that Juan happens to also be a chupacabra who almost kills him, prompting [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Sponson to leave with a]] [[FacialHorror missing nose]].
