* OrphanedSeries: The webcomic went into an indefinite hiatus in February 2016. According to posts by the author that came out shortly after, he broke off from Hiveworks (the platform he had partnered with to make the comic) and thus it was highly unlikely he was returning to the series anytime soon. In 2018, he would confirm that the series wasn't completely dead, but that there was little chance he would return to it anytime soon. As of 2021, he still hasn't returned to the comic, signaling the likelihood that the series ended on a massive cliffhanger with no future resolution planned.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Furio ''Furio'' '''''Furio'''''. When Baron initially doesn't give him the information he wants about Bree, he initiates a fight that marks him squarely as a foe in Baron's mind, and doesn't explain himself after. He is completely surprised when, every single time afterwards, Baron not only refuses to listen to Furio's pleas for help but starts fighting him, even when Furio isn't being aggressive. The fact that Furio keeps using overwhelming force in turn doesn't help his case at all. However, this is somewhat justified; Furio never had a proper childhood, his mother instead making him have a life of duty. This kept him from really interacting with people, just knowing how to do voodoo.

* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Bonding with all three Loa]]. [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique It's generally inadvisable, though]].
* AloofBigBrother: Or sister, in this case: Brigitte to Baron.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Bad Vibes born from powerful negative emotions can grow to enormous size.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Baron Bones. Seems to be his actual name, too.
* {{Badass}}: Furio, who makes his debut by delivering an OffhandBackhand to a gigantic Vibe he spawned himself. Consequently, [[spoiler:Brigitte]] earns her credentials by schooling him.
* {{BFS}}: Wielded by Baron when bonded with Ogoun. Gets an ever bigger one when [[spoiler:he bonds with all three Loa]].
* TheHeartless: Bad [[TitleDrop Vibes]], born from negative emotions coalescing into monsters.
* FighterMageThief: The other dynamic of Baron's Loas, with [[MightyGlacier Ogoun]], [[SquishyWizard Agau]] and [[FragileSpeedster Jean]], respectively.



* PungeonMaster: Baron

to:

* FunetikAksent: Furio's strong Jamaican accent, which combined with his overuse of slang makes him borderline [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]].
* HollywoodVoodoo: An interesting example. On one hand, it is most definitely not an accurate portrayal of voodoo. On the other, beyond the obligatory VoodooDoll (which Furio even refers to as [[LampshadeHanging Voodo 101]]), most stereotypical depictions of voodoo are absent, going instead for a pseudo-shonen style.
* {{Mana}}: Or rather, Mojo.
* OnlySaneMan: Jean, among the Loa.
* PantheraAwesome: Jean, a Loa that takes the form of an ice-covered panther.
* PungeonMaster: BaronBaron. He tries, at least.
* RavensAndCrows: Baron and Brigitte's Loa, Agau and Ezili. [[spoiler:Before Ezili got transformed into a Frankenstein's Monster lookalike, at least]].
* {{Shonen}}: An inspiration of the work.
