Its love for shiny things is so strong that the God of Chaos considers it worthy of becoming the demonic Overlord of Greed. Bonus points for the narration noting that he is actively trying to scream, but the slime covering him is preventing him from doing so.

A termite infestation in the tree that she can't quite get rid of causes her considerable pain, and if one were ever to die, the other would soon follow. Old Soldier: Edward has seen a lot of shit and is over a century old, but that only makes him more dangerous. In addition, vows of chastity only cover vaginal intercourse, which results in many nuns being Technical Virgins, while fulfilling their sexual desires through other means. Horror Hunger: As a mimic, Boxxy is hardwired to find humans tasty and to consider other sentient races varying degrees of tastiness. Accidental Pornomancer: Boxxy doesn't care for sex, but has to practice often, to keep Xera and Keira's lover Rowana happy.For one, people feel strange dread, fear, uneasiness around monsters, no matter how human they look. The Hero: Bernard is described as the first human to reach the rank of Hero in a century, along with being a source of hope for the Empire. Kick the Dog: His wrongful conviction of Fizzy, a gnome that was repeatedly mind-controlled into teaching Boxxy Artificer skills, just so he can force her to make war machines for the Empire for however long the country needs her talents. A Form You Are Comfortable With: Subverted; it tries to go with this when it presents itself to Boxxy and Fizzy, but it has trouble nailing down a single form and keeps changing appearance right in front of them with every blink of their eyes.

After a considerable amount of leveling up its Warlock perk, Boxxy became less moronic but is still fairly ignorant about the world at large.

She is still afraid to reveal her sexuality for fear of being disowned by her parents or alienated by her coworkers. Didn't Think This Through: Zone asks for a former enemy's help in getting through the Temple of the First Crusader, a Dungeon that is under control of the God of War, Axel. Taboo causes any religiously-aligned mortals to instinctively loathe those with the skill, with the revulsion getting worse with higher ranks. A Day in the Limelight: This being a series with an omniscient narrator, sometimes characters other than the protagonist get the spotlight for a while. This has gotten him curious, for a boost is always welcome for our little mimic who is just trying to survive.

Bald of Evil: He takes it one step further by shaving his head, face and eyebrows every day (to avoid contaminating his experiments with stray hair) and is certainly evil. Personal disputes, decades apart and being on opposite sides of a war lead her to squaring off against all three of them in one-on-one confrontations. Its next attempt at an alias is Chester Underwood, as it reasons that it's a wooden chest that's going undercover as an elf. It's why it likes Boxxy so much, since the monstrous chest is a walking whirlpool of chaos made by sheer coincidence. Heroes Prefer Swords: Initially a ranger, Keira started training as a Blade Dancer as soon as she received a mithril rapier as a gift.The Blight treats all these rules as a checklist, which is why every god is united against its forces — it's an omnicidal genocidal ecocidal self-propagating curse-like effect which also uses the dead for construction materials. The Hero: Literally, as she was chosen by the God of Chaos to be its hero, and she became a hero to the Ishgar Republic at large when her victory over the Hero of the Hammer ended the war between the Republic and the Empire. From there the story revolves around watching Boxxy grow into a fully sapient monster with a Horror Hunger to match.

All Love Is Unrequited: Her affections for Boxxy are completely wasted as it has no concept of love and treats the sexual romps she asks for as little more than a chore to keep one of her familiars happy. Her improvised acting in Monotal fooled Bernard Samson into testifying that an Elven Witch was responsible for the Calamity which destroyed the city, leading directly to the war. Random Effect Spell: The chosen Hero of the God of Chaos is prone to causing random magical effects to occur around it. It's to the point that other fiends in the Beyond start to regard Kora as a sexual deviant because she actually settles for consensual sex.Everybody Loves Large Chests was first brought to Jeff Hays on Soundbooth Theater Live, his live streaming narration show.
