* Affectionate Pickpocket: Sam has been known to attempt this -- but then, he's probably tried every thieving-technique in the book, and invented a few himself. (Of course, since everybody knows that he's a notorious thief and pickpocket, this particular technique doesn't work well for him.)
* Adult Child
* Blue and Orange Morality: As scavengers, Sam's species regard treachery and theft as impeccably moral behavior. Human attitudes make so little sense to Sam that he often doesn't even understand that his behavior could be objectionable.
* Cool Old Guy: The "cool" part is debatable, but by his species standards he is old (granted none have lived long enough to die of old age yet)
* Cthulhumanoid
* Drives Like Crazy: (70, 97)
* Expressive Mask
* Impossible Thief
* Indy Ploy: Sam's stock in trade. After all, "Improvise is one of the few battle plans that survives contact with the enemy."
* Genre Savvy: Knows he is despised by the entire planet, and takes advantage of it.
* Genius Ditz: Sam Starfall is unmatched at the arts of thievery and lock-picking. Prisons will no longer take him because he stole two cell doors last time he was there.
* Human Outside, Alien Inside: Sam looks fairly humanoid in his suit (enough to disguise himself as a human at times), but he is quite alien.
* Idiot Ball/Smart Ball: Sam is a constant juggling act.
* Loveable Rogue: Depending on your definition of the term "loveable". People somehow pay Sam to steal phones from people who are using them to be annoying, as seen in this strip.
* Mobile Suit Human
* Out with a Bang: Due to the physiology of his race, mating is fatal.
* Screwy Squirrel
* Shutting Up Now: As a self-preservation mechanism.
* Starfish Alien: But wears a humanoid exoskeleton suit.
* Sticky Fingers
* Strong as They Need to Be:
* He's capable of carrying his unconscious engineer but can be beaten up by a small child.
* Also, the ability to carry his engineer is in doubt, seeing as later he can barely drag her across the floor.
* Walking Techbane: Demonstrated here. Sometimes he even uses this fact to his advantage.
