Added No Off Button example from its page
Added DiffLines:
* NoOffButton: {{Subverted}}. Unity is an undead bio-weapon that can animate a corpse into a super-strong, nigh-unkillable engine of destruction (and if it ''is'' killed, she can just get a new one), with a gleefully violent childlike personality. She has an attention span measured in milliseconds, and enjoys fighting people who try to give her orders. When the team runs into her creator, it's discovered that the verbal code "Blueberry Waffles" shuts down her aggression patterns. Not permanently, but enough to interrupt whatever violence she was perpetuating at the moment.
-->'''Sweetheart:''' UNITY HAS AN OFF SWITCH!?\\
'''Dr. Lee:''' You ''work'' with her and you don't know she has an off switch?

Crosswicking new trope
Added DiffLines:
* NotaryNonsense: For the Notaries Public, paperwork is a [[SeriousBusiness sacred ritual]], as they're an ancient ObstructiveBureaucrat monastic order. Unity's induction to the order involves transfusing her brain into various wild animals to learn the wisdom of bird and beast, all of which turn out to have their own bureaucracies. (This is an alternate certification path, though. Non-prophesied notaries just submit an application and pass a gauntlet of deadly trials.)
--> ''Speak with respect! This is the High Abbess. Try anything and she'll hand you your butt. She will then certify in triplicate that you legally took possession of your own butt. Your demise shall have a ''scrupulous'' paper trail!''
