* TheAlcoholic: Kyotoshi Lypha, starting after his parents were killed in a planet-wide massacre. His fridge contains only vodka and a clean, folded towel.



* CreatingLifeIsBad: This is involved in the backstory. A company that until then created equivalents of ''Franchise/StarWars'''s droid army had the bright idea of creating the equivalent of the clone army for theocratic clients. Furious, they had the whole company exterminated, from CEO to janitor. The protagonist's parents worked there.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: The minor character Chovek. The fact that he's {{pink|MeansFeminine}} doesn't help.



* ImprobableAge: Subverted, the youngest member of the main cast is 19, with most characters ages 24 or older.
* KickTheDog: Subverted, [[spoiler: Naitec's Inhuman experiments were quickly destroyed once the Rulerists realized what had gone on.]] Except said Rulerists [[DisproportionateRetribution did even worse in the process]].
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: Subverted with [[spoiler:Ashido, who refuses to let himself take revenge for his brothers' deaths.]]

* GraspTheSun: Cinne's thought process is punctuated by him [[http://inhuman-comic.com/comic347.php "pulling up the sun"]].
* HumanoidAliens: Most of the alien species seen are humanoid -- the comic has been mistaken for a UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} comic, to the artist's great annoyance.
* ImprobableAge: Subverted, Subverted; the youngest member of the main cast is 19, with most characters ages 24 or older.
older.
* InsistentTerminology: They're not furries, they're aliens.
* InstantSedation: Used when Cinne is stabbed with an anesthetic to keep him from running away. They do note that it won't take effect immediately, and the doctor is using an injector, rather than a straight needle. Played straight, however, as in the confusion of the situation, the doctor only managed to get the needle in at his shoulder blade, yet it is still treated like it will affect him as fast as getting stabbed in a vein.

* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Nikitaks are six-limbed, furry aliens. They bare capable of bipedal locomotion without difficulty, resulting in four arms that are widely spaced.
* ScienceIsBad: Played straight and subverted [[spoiler: with the Inhuman project at Naitec and the Rulerists' willingness to accept its immorality.]]
* SchizoTech: A large portion of the comic takes place on a world only recently opened up to intergalactic trade, leaving the world in the technological level of 1970's earth... with spaceships.[[labelnote:caveat]]And they can't really use those, because of the [[spoiler: minefield placed there by the Rulerists after they re-introduced supposedly illegal emigrants who left after the massacres. Jet is one of these]]. And it's been [[WordOfGod confirmed]] that they don't have any that they built themselves.[[/labelnote]]
* SpaceMines: The ports of Hekshano are guarded by minefields.

* PeopleJars: [[http://www.inhuman-comic.com/comic242.php This page]] is a great illustration of People Jars.
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:Ashido]] is shown to be an example of this when another character walks in on her changing.

* SpeciesLoyalty: Myches have this as a borderline [[PlanetOfHats hat]], after the whole species spending a long time in slavery.

* BSideComics: Jet's Story, Cemetery, War Buddies, and No Booty Calls, plus a couple of semi-related comics that take place in the same universe, Unintentional Mishaps and Fairy Tale.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Grey almost has more scars than regular skin on his body. The main reason it's just ''almost'' is because his face is almost unscarred... aside from a huge scar over the bridge of his nose, which admittedly does make for the "cute but deadly" look.

Ho Yay is YMMV. This example was apparently confirmed by Word of God, so it would fit Homoerotic Subtext better. Removed a meta example that's already on Trivia
