* FieryRedhead -While Moira is generally rational and not as explosive as some examples, she does have a temper, and those who trigger it certainly get to know about it too (at least when she catches up to them) Also mentioned in retrospect by one of her friends Yktor, who is now a city guard but used to work with Moira as a mercenery.

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: While the term is not stated outright, it's pretty clear that Astis is a sex worker. She also has a very gentle and sweet personality, and is one of only three people in the game who seem to genuinely care about and be concerned for Moira, and is trying to look out for her.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Apparently not, given how Moira's distress and mental torment is very obvious to her friends but nobody even mentions therapy and she is not given/offered (or even think to seek) any professional help for her condition which seems to be a mixture of depression and something similar to PTSD. Her friends want to help her and try to support her, but she keeps them at arms length and is reluctant, even afraid, to let even them get close to her... [[spoiler: subverted eventually. Ixele is not a therapist by profession or qualification, but basically takes on this role in an effort to help Moira overcome her pain and guilt and move on with her life. ]]

* LoveConfession: It depends on your choices but in one optional scene, Astis will outright tell Moira that she loves her. Moira is very conflicted but clearly has feelings for Astis too, but whether or not she will actually admit it, remain non-committal, or(gently)tell Astis to forget her and move on, is up to the player. If you do return the sentiment, Moira gets anxious as to whether she should have said it back, but admits that it isn't a lie.

'''Piss''' is an adventure game created by Ben Chandler as part of a collection briefly available in Summer 2012. The game is no longer available but there have been hints of a possible update and re-release in the future. Piss follows the story of Moira, a mercenary with a severe drink problem. Haunted by dreams, and desperate to forget and dull the pain of her past, she’s aimless and depressed, her only motivation seemingly to gain money to buy more alcohol.

* [[VigilanteMan Vigilante Woman]] : Mentioned in retrospect. When Astis was badly beaten and found injured and bleeding in an alley, Moira not only took her home, took care of her wounds, and comforted her distraught and shaken friend, but was so furious about the attack that she almost immedietly went after the culprit and killed him. According to Astis she never has any problems with people being nasty or aggressive towards her anymore as people are scared to even look at her the wrong way for fear Moira will go after them.

!!''Piss'' contains examples of:
*TheAlcoholic: Moira is an extreme example, she regularly drinks so much she sometimes even forgets who she is, and mentions she can't sleep at all unless she's drunk.
*CryIntoChest: Not shown, but Moira admits to this after [[spoiler: she remembers and faces what she did]], she is comforted by Ixele. Also Astis to Moira (mentioned in retrospect) when Mira found her bleeding and beaten in an alley and took her home to help her recover.
*CynicismCatalyst : The tragic event in Moira's past that she can't even remember because of all the alcohol she consumes.
*DeadpanSnarker: Moira can have this attitude, especially when frustrated
*DoubleMeaningTitle: While only a minor and very brief part of the game, it's one of the few games that acknowledges the characters do actually need the bathroom sometimes, in addition being "pissed" is also slang for being drunk...or sometimes angry..Moira frequently and delierately gets drunk, and also gets very angry at not recieving her money which is what triggers her to set out on her journey in the first place.. she also refers to some of the cheap alcohol she buys as tasting like piss.
*DrowningMySorrows: Why Moira drinks so heavily.
*EmotionSuppression: Moira has a hard time with his, she cares about her friends but is too afraid and doubtful of her own self worth to let them close. She realises Astis is in love with her, and secretly loves Astis as well, but is very reluctant to admit it even to herself and even strays into outright denial at times, resulting in confusion and pain for both of them.
*FunctionalAddict: Despite her severe drink problem Moira seems to function well enough (around the times she is drunk out of her head) to maintain her job as a mercenary. .
*{{Gayngster}}: Moira is both homosexual and is a mercenary who is often paid to kill people....
*HeroicBSOD: Moira used to work for a mecenary company and was well liked, good at her job, and happy, then the incident happened and she still hasn't come back from the despair event horizon years later
*HookerWithAHeartOfGold: While the term is not stated outright, it's pretty clear that Astis is a sex worker. She also has a very gentle and sweet personality, and is one of only three people in the game who seem to genuinely care about and be concerned for Moira, and trying to look out for her.
*ImMelting: [[Spoiler: Happens in one scene.... the person involved get's better though. ]]
*ItsAllMyFault: When she finally remembers Moira feels this way about what she did. Turns out [[spoiler: it was only partially her fault, she did commit the crime, but she was lied to and tricked into doing so]]
*KnightInSourArmor: Moira is very cynical, but does have some sense of morality and tries to help people and do the right thing on her journey, and clearly does care about her friends even if she still pushes them away.
*MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: Pretty much Moira's reaction when she first realised what she'd done, which is what pushed her over the *DespairEventHorizon and started her alcohol problem.
* [[NobodyPoops NobodyPees]]: Averted as the main character is using the bathroom (offscreen) at the very beginning of the game.
*OurZombiesAreDifferent: There are zombies in the game, but they are not the dangerous flesh eating kind, or infectious, they are fully cognizant, can move around normally (body condition on resurrection permitting), and maintain their original personalities and memories. The ones you talk to in the game at least seem quite amiable.
*SelfInflictedHell: Whatever it was she did, Moira has done a very good job at punishing herself for it ever since.
*StraightGay: Moira and Astis are this.
*ThereAreNoTherapists: Apparently not, given how Moira's distress and mental torment is very obvious to her friends but nobody even mentions therapy and she is not given/offered (or perhaps doesn't seek) any professional help for her condition which seems to be a mixture of depression and something similar to PTSD.

Ixele is not a therapist by profession or qualification, but basically takes on this role in an effort to help Moira overcome her pain and guilt and move on with her life. ]]
*TragicMistake: Moira made one, and it's the cause of all her anger, guilt, and alcoholism.
*[[VigilanteMan Vigilante Woman]] : Mentioned in retrospect. When Astis was badly beaten and found injured and bleeding in an alley, Moira not only took her home, took care of her wounds, and comforted her distraught and shaken friend, but was so furious about the attack that she almost immedietly went after the culprit and killed him. According to Astis she never has any problems with people being nasty or aggressive towards her anymore as people are scared to even look at her the wrong way for fear Moira will go after them.
*WhisperingGhosts: Can be heard when Moira [spoiler: enters Limbo]]
*YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Astis tries telling Moira this....unfortunately it doesn't work, Moira has very bad self image and is not ready or willing to believe anything good about herself.
