The Oregon Files novels provide examples of:[]
- Arm Cannon - Juan Cabrillo, the Corporation's leader, has a false leg in which he keeps—among other things—a rather high caliber pistol.
- Badass - The ENTIRE crew.
- Cool Boat - The titular Oregon.
- Deadpan Snarker - Cabrillo.
- Killed Off for Real - Jerry Pulaski in the seventh book.
- This death also counts as Heroic Sacrifice, Taking You with Me, and I Will Only Slow You Down.

- Shout-Out - A few including Star Wars, and even Twilight.
- What a Piece of Junk! - Once more, the Oregon. You thought it was just a rusty old freighter on the verge of sinking? Think again.
