ARCHON: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Elves are talked about in the Lore as being too moral for the Dark Lord who originally made them and refusing to kill innocents. This doesn't stop Arglwydd from barbecuing a particular attacker on sight.

* [[Hitchhiker Heroes]]: Several characters are encountered and partnered with using this format.

* [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]]: Arglwydd's immediate response to {{spoiler|being attacked by an elf infected by 'Entropy'}}. She also threatens to do the same to Joule if he tried to force himself upon her while they slept in the same tent (though admittedly the latter was meant as a joke).

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Arglwydd's immediate response to {{spoiler|being attacked by an elf infected by 'Entropy'}}. She also threatens to do the same to Joule if he tried to force himself upon her while they slept in the same tent (though admittedly the latter was meant as a joke).

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Averted with Arglwydd, whose name means 'Lord' in Welsh and has little connection to her character, but played straight with other characters (For instance Offeiriad, whose name means 'Priest'). Overlaps with [[Bilingual Bonus]].

* [[Medieval Stasis]]: Although not addressed directly, only being referenced in fluff on the Author's other site/blog, the series is set in a world where medieval-level technology has existed for the entirety of recorded history in-universe (which spans over six thousand years). Justified somewhat in the fact that magical advances essentially replace 'traditional' scientific ones, allowing for technology-driven processes such as water purification to be performed within a medieval context.

* [[Mercy Kill]]: Arglwydd sees her early [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]] moment as this, citing [[Dying As Yourself]] as justification.

* [[Our Orcs Are Different]]: Both of the main archetypes of this trope are present. In some of the [http://archonseries.webs.com/loreraces.htm extra Lore on the website], it also mentions that Greenskin Orks enjoy fighting but find killing distasteful. The main reason for this is that you can't then fight the dead person again later.

* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]: Lampshaded by Arglwydd, who wears a blue dress and has a battered wizard's hat she got in a costume shop. She refers to it as her 'cliché hat'.
