Heroes Prefer Swords: Initially a ranger, Keira started training as a Blade Dancer as soon as she received a mithril rapier as a gift. Keira breaks in tears as she explains how horrible her powers and god are and how she never asked for it. Many of the Republic's senior officers don't like it, but they admit it's refreshing to work with someone whose motives are so nakedly straightforward, plus the money they spend is more than worth the elven lives saved by his actions.

It chose it as a private joke without knowing that the Underwood name is tied to an infamous elven family of spies and assassins, so it attracted more attention than it expected. 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. As an unfortunate Elven capital city learned in the epilogue of volume 4, when the 5 children dryads woke from their slumber and rediscovered how delicious blood is, and promptly forgot Boxxy! He then gets captured by Stain, a Queen Slime that joyfully destroys his mind in the same manner that he inflicted on others. Took A Level In Bad Ass: Is a Ranked Up individual, giving her greater speed, strength, stamina, and longevity than regular mooks.

Summoning any of them requires a complex and unique ritual, and they can only remain in the world for minutes at a time, but that alone is more than enough for them to make a lasting impression.

Torture Technician: He knows how to put the squeeze on people, but he doesn't do it for information, but just because. Full-Frontal Assault: Keira once attacked a large gnoll tribe wearing nothing but a smile, since Boxxy wanted to train its Blade Dancer Job without getting weird holes and stains on "Keira's" equipment. From there the story revolves around watching Boxxy grow into a fully sapient monster with a Horror Hunger to match. Seven Deadly Sins: Each of the current Overlords embodies a sin by the Chaotic Goddess' design, and this carries over to the demons that follow in their template. 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.

Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: A war hero, who is beautiful, reads books to gather information and became an artificer. Despair Event Horizon: If Boxxy appears to have died, she swiftly falls into a deep depression and quickly recovers once the homicidal chest has reappeared. Never thought I’ll say this, but there were too many dirty jokes, they got to a point where it was just vulgarity for the sake of it, it wasn’t funny, and it flopped half of a book as a result. 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. More than Mind Control: While she's rightly pissed off about the influence the Dungeon Core had on her mind, once she breaks it she admits that Boxxy had been nothing but respectful and helpful to her, and that the sentiments she'd developed toward it had at some point become quite natural.

Narcissist: Due to golems instinctively considering themselves the most beautiful being around, Fizzy becomes an unapologetic egomaniac who regards herself as superior to "meatbags". Later on in her life, she has a widespread (and well-earned) reputation for reacting violently to sudden surprises, such as surprise visitors or anyone trying to hit on her girlfriend.The Gods Must Be Lazy: By far the most hands-off god of the pantheon, as demonstrated by how few followers she has - and indeed, how few people even know of her existence. When Boxxy gets its second core, it finds out that this was only possible because the God of Chaos overrode a bunch of safeties; normally cores will never absorb more mana than they can safely hold. He estimates that if he really wanted to, he could become Top God within a couple decades at most, and could do so in five years if he really went at the task.
