History VideoGame / CitizenSleeper

* ArtificialIntelligence: The cyberspace constructions help run the station. Another you find in a derelict, hidden vending machine.
* AIIsACrapshoot: {{Subverted}}, the station has multiple AI constructs, and while some of them have gone mad after decades of neglect, they are only reinforcing the {{BanOnAI}} law, as they were created to do. You are hunted only after using your {{Digitized Hacker}} abilities and all of the other AI range from harmless to very benelovent. It is implied that if the AI were able to freely coexist with humans, they would both thrive.
* AndroidsArePeopleToo: A central theme. Sleepers, straddling the line between humanity and the robotic, explicitly don't have any "human" rights in the eyes of the people in power. The corporation which made them see them as little more than a product to be bartered and sold, and several people they come across treat them as expendable RidiculouslyHumanRobots. The PlayerCharacter can insist multiple times that they are still are a person.

* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:The refugee flotilla is fleeing the "Flux", a mysterious phenomenon that caused the sudden destruction of computer systems on a planetary scale. It turns out that the Flux was manufactured by a corporation, [=SenetStat=], to wipe the system clean in preparation for their arrival and takeover]].

* CompanyTown: The Eye when under Solheim control. Feng recounts that his parents worked on Solheim mines, ate and Solheim canteens and slept in berths rented out from Solheim.
* CoveredWithScars: The first thing the PlayerCharacter notes about Emphis is that he's covered in very unusual, symmterical scarring. [[spoiler: They're what remains of the access ports he was fitted with as part of the Bone Suit programme.]]

* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: [[spoiler:Neovend / Navigator and Gardener. Arguably Hunter as well. But not Killer, who's "growth" has been so self destructive they rendered themselves deaf and blind to everything else but Hunter's signal and the occasional nearby AI.]]
** Arguably, the protagonist Sleeper. Others such as Ethan see him as only a machine, while several times in the game others and themselves question their true nature and potential for growth.

* IAmNotMyMother: Eshe of the ''FLUX'' storyline, has a rather complicated relationship with her mother, because she decided to join the ranks of the oppressive corporate administration of her home planet, a job which included many {{Cold Equation}}s. As a result, Eshe has a fundamental distrust of authority figures and the corporations, and while she has ended up in a leadership position of the refugees, she vehemently refuses to be the kind of leader her mother was, one who is willing to countenance the life of her people against some nebulous greater good.

* MrFixit: The player character can start out as a machinist character who starts with an engineering skill for working with machines and physical tools. Also in general since you don't actually have to specialize in these skills, they simply give bonuses to your dice rolls. Much of the game revolves around you fixing machines or helping people with their ships or buildings. Other characters also work in this area, most specifically Bliss the Ship Mechanic.

* RiddleForTheAges: What was it that caused the person the player character was originally based on to agree to undergoing the Sleeper treatment? The game never proposes a straight answer to this question.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Justified, Sleepers are emulations of humans who have had their brains scans. They are used because of a generalized setting ban on AI.

* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:[[BountyHunter Ethan]] turns out to be this in his questline. After having his contract on you cancelled, he offers to protect you from the new bounty hunter Maywick in return for helping him work off his debt to the Kompressor Club. And you even help him steal his confiscated gun back from the club. Instead, upon reclaiming his gun he turns on you, revealing that he sent Maywick your location in return for a 50/50 cut of the bounty. Luckily, Maywick instead shoots him dead before he can finish you off, and you manage to shoot Maywick dead with Ethan's gun before he can kill you too.]]
