Angst? What Angst? - Zachary gives Shelton a very brief answer to his Stockholm Syndrome issues in the third RP.
Shelton: Damn it, he was right. I betrayed them, I never thought of it as betrayal, but I did. And now a bunch of them just died for me. I know they're the enemy, but they trusted me!
Badass Decay - Meta example. Dr. Keith Bailey from the rebooted Furtopia RP was just as capable with a firearm as any other character. In the Gang of Five RPs, he is pretty much incapable of fighting.
Creator's Pet - Dragore from the Furtopia RPs fits this trope perfectly. A Mary Sue and a scrappy with a big role, adored by the creator and steals the spotlight.
Lupis from the rebooted Furtopia RP is even worse. He literally hijacks the entire story and the plot shifts from a focus on the terrorists to the rogue scientists, who were originally in the background.
Genius Bonus - There are some references that make little to no sense unless one has an understanding of science.
Growing the Beard - Shelton in the third RP, literally and figuratively.
Hilarious in Hindsight - In 2011, Disruptive Selection introduced a character named ROSS, a crime-solving rogue AI who devoted his time to defeating and exposing internet-based criminals. Four years later in the real world, IBM released ROSS, the first artificially-intelligent digital lawyer. Looks like all that crime-fighting paid off!
Ho Yay - During Lab 101's escape, Shelton and Kerzach squeeze into a single bathroom stall and cut their way through to the adjacent maintenance rooms. When it's time to leave back through the bathroom, there are people waiting for the bathroom.
Shelton: "What exactly are we going to tell them if they ask why both of us were in the bathroom for so long? I mean, I'm all for the new identity, but I doubt they'll believe we were so inspired by the Exodus that we declared our love for each other."
Moral Event Horizon - In James' mind, Siberys crossed it in Card of Ten when threatening a child's life to force the king to commit suicide.
The Scrappy - Dragore from the Furtopia RPs is utterly loathed by the majority of the players. His constant wangsting is annoying enough but the fact that he's a God-Mode Sue cements his Scrappy status.
Aydin from Disruptive Selection is a close contender for the "coveted" title of most "hated character". Being a relatively flat character who shares his creator's views and being a member of a thinly veiled unflattering depiction of modern day Native Americans will do that.
Lupis from the rebooted Furtopia RP is the same a Dragore but the negative traits were ramped up to eleven.
Where Shelton gets the implantable chips. he removes them from through the noses of his dead teammates.
And Dr. Landon's sarcastic comment about the in-universe movie of the first RP:
Dr. Landon: A lewd 12 way followed by a battle between three different dimensions, led by a guy dressed like the guy from Animal House screaming "Toga! Toga! Toga!".
Spc. Crota: What, you want her? We can share; he said multiple partners.
Strangled by the Red String - Of the four relationships consummated in the Culeston hotel, only Shelton/Shakila had any sort of foreshadowingnote It was also ironically the only relationship that didn't work out.
Shelton: ...That's probably the best answer anyone could've given.
