Shadow Hearts/Fridge


 * Fridge Brilliance:
 * Some characters like Alice, Halley, and Anastasia have rather low SP, while some characters like the vampires have ridiculously high SP. Fridge Brilliance because the vampires are used to seeing supernatural things and are desensitized, whereas the others have been relatively sheltered. Naturally, SP Growth is them being more "Desensitized".
 * Halley's psychic powers have a rather high cost, because he's inexperienced and it drains him. He's not had any real formal training from Koudelka, and likewise his tantrums are him trying to replicate the conditions of when he first invoked them.


 * Fridge Horror: Oh so much...just read the monster descriptions.
 * This is a pretty Crapsack (later Crapsaccharine) world, actually. You could kill monsters, but their malice may come back and haunt you. Nicolai unleashed a shitton of Malice on the world at once, resulting in a lot of other monsters.
