'''''Felarya''''' is an independently published [[OEL Manga]] distributed via [https://web.archive.org/web/20090408092955/http://stores.lulu.com/Karbo Lulu]. It takes place in the eponymous world of '''Felarya''': a dangerous world where humans are hardly at the top, frequently hunted by predatory fauna and flora, as well as much larger sentient humanoid species. In the manga, the storyline prominently features a giant [[Naga]], Crisis, and her acquaintances.
 
In addition to being an [[OEL Manga]], Felarya is an active world-building community where fan-created stories, not entirely unlike [[Fan Fiction]], are created and ideas to expand and elaborate upon the structure of the world are encouraged. The world is owned exclusively by the creator, Karbo, and those who write or draw Felaryan related things must follow his [http://felarya.forumotion.com/new-ideas-f2/guidelines-to-felarya-t13.htm specifications and rules on his forum.]
 
''Note:<ref> The comic features heavy [[wikipedia:Vorarephilia|vorarephilia]] themes, and those not into it might be somewhat put off. Much of the content is [[Not Safe for Work]], as many images contain nudity.</ref>''

{{tropelist}}
This series provides examples of:
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: Subeta fancies herself as this.
* [[The Ageless]]: Everyone has this due to the magical properties of the world. Unfortunately for those who come to Felarya seeking immortality, it it very easy to die there.
Line 21:
* [[Axe Crazy]]: Sweet ''Jesus'', Lily. [http://karbo.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3gz9ik Seriously, just look at her!] (Mildly [[NSFW]])
** Interestingly enough, she [[Fantastic Racism|only acts this way towards humans]].
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: The former human Anna Demorah's second lease on life as a giant naga.
* [[Badass]]: Jade. To elaborate, she's a [[Our Giants Are Bigger|giantess]] who protects an [[Undefeatable Little Village]], and has a tendency to [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomp]] anything that threatens it.
** Also Yuri, leader of the Spetz. How badass is he? He managed to survive ''thirty-five years'' in Felarya ([[Word of God]] is that he served in the Russian invasion of Afghanistan before his arrival), form a militia/adventerer group with an [[Elaborate Underground Base|impressive home base]], and on top of all this, recruit Nikita, a giant dridder. And as you can probably tell by the name of his group, he's a Spetznas.
* [[Badass Army]]: The Vishmitals have this reputation.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: With stuffing an interest tied in with vore, inevitably there are depictions of big belly bulges on satisfied predators.
Line 32:
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: Fauna such as tonorions, cryoks and spine beetles, as well as dridders, mantoids and other bug-based races.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Most predator species have such alien morals that they believe it's perfectly okay to eat other sapient beings.
** Milly, being a dimensional exile from a different vore setting, is strange about this even for a Felaryan predator, leading even humans who've grown up in Felarya to think their chances are better than they are, but in truth she's one of the harder predators to talk down. In her first story, talking to a group of humans (in fact exiles from a ''third'' vore setting where humans are apex predators) and hearing her stomach start to growl, with an apology for the interruption she quickly eats one, then seems shocked that the rest don't want to continue the conversation.
* [[Catgirl|Cat People]]
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: A lot of the characters that eat people are really nice otherwise. [[Meet the Meat|It isn't odd for the predators to exchange words with their prey]].
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
* [[Cool Sword]]: [[Named Weapons|Verdant Fury]], wielded by Alvar the blind fairy swordsman.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Most [[Snake People|Nagas]] have these.
* [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Monster Girls]]s: ''[[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|Very large]]'' ones.
* [[Crossover]]: Many characters are from other worlds/unpublished franchises.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: While Karbo retains sole ownership rights, he puts great interest in the community and allowing their works to become canon. Sometimes, this leads to interesting pile-ups of character traits, stone's throw neighbors going unnoticed for years at a time, technological / cultural progression / regression of the natives, etcetera.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Disability Superpower]]: The fairy swordsman Alvar's blindness prevents him from being lured by appearances or caught off-guard by sneak attacks, as well as being immune to most illusions.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Crisis's cheerful, carefree attitude towards her life is [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|especially creepy]] when you consider that she has a tendency to [[Swallowed Whole|swallow smaller sapient beings whole]] and ''[[Cruel and Unusual Death|digest them alive.]]'' And she ''thoroughly enjoys it.''
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Vivian and Melany tend to use seduction to catch prey.
* [[Emotion Bomb]]: Lady Lesona does this to Anna in T2 of the manga.
* [[Emotion Eater]]: This is theorized in-universe by the archmage Talbeln Veridimus to be the reason Angels and Demons take interest in the souls of good and evil beings, respectively.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
** Lily really, ''really'', '''REALLY''' hates humans.
* [[Fetish Fuel Future]]: Felarya's fetish-centered origin remains a defining [[Incredibly Lame Pun|flavor]] of the world.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: The reason for Lily's aforementioned hatred of humans? Her younger sister was [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|captured and tortured to death by a band of human adventurers]] and she was [[Forced to Watch]].
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Fiona is rather kindly towards humans in general due to having been raised by them and in general tries to befriend them rather than eat them. This trope comes into play because, even though she will occasionally eat a human, she will ''never'' eat a child.
** Also Katrika. Unlike Fiona, she enjoys eating humans. But, she adamantly refuses to harm children or their families. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|She'll even comfort children who've lost their families to predators]].
Line 78 ⟶ 79:
* [[Honey Trap]]: Vivian. A rather strange case, since she seduces people so she can ''eat'' them.
* [[Horror Hunger]]: Fiona views her own predatory instincts this way. Though she will try as hard as possible to avoid eating any sapient being, she has accepted that she needs to eat them to stay healthy, and will do it if given a good reason.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Repeatedly played with in many works and stories. Many human characters are actually decent people, but a few others are [[Complete Monster|truly despicable.]] (See [[Freudian Excuse]]).
* [[Humanity Ensues]]: Many stories use this as a basic premise. May cause a change of heart if a giant predator is turned human.
* [[I Am a Monster]]: Somewhat subverted with Jora. She accepts her place in the food chain, but this only came about after an ''intense'' adjustment period after her [[Involuntary Transformation|sudden increase in size.]]
Line 88 ⟶ 89:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Harpies are a [[One-Gender Race]], but they can reproduce by mating with males of other humanoid species. Vivian the [[Really Gets Around|omnisexual]] giant naga isn't likely to take something like species into account too much if a similarly-sized humanoid might be up for some fun.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Mostly [[Justified Trope|justified]], as many characters simply [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|too large]] to wear clothes. Naturally, [[Fan Service|this means the work focuses more on giant-sized females.]]
* [[Involuntary Transformation]]: Again, Anna.
** Also Jora. She was human before coming to Felarya, but due to [[Applied Phlebotinum|an artifact]], she became a giantess upon arrival.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Nikita carries a curved knife with her at all times. Since she's a giant dridder, said knife is ''eight feet long.''
Line 98 ⟶ 99:
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]: There are members of the so-called "predator species" that don't eat humans.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Crisis. [[Big Eater|So]] [[I'm a Humanitarian|very]] [[The Hunter|much]].
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: How the aforementioned [[Gadgeteer Genius]] was given her new form as a naga.
** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|I guess you could call it a naga-tive space wedgie?]]
** Dimensional anomalies in general are relatively common in some parts of Felarya.
Line 104 ⟶ 105:
* [[No Nudity Taboo]]: Many sapient predator species are also feral enough to see clothing as more of an inconvenience than a necessity. Predator species (e.g. faries) that live in more civilized areas are more likely to wear clothing.
** Elves are a bit of a weird case. While many of them have no problem with being nude ''normally'', elves take great offense to being seen nude ''while bathing.''
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Subeta is rather secretive about why she let Marken (a human) be her assistant.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: A recurring theme, the main varriation being a predator/prey species pair.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Growing up here means you don't age past natural physical prime, giving one who lives there [[Immortality|type II immortality]]. Thus the genuinely young may be virtually indistinguishable from the deceptively old.
Line 144 ⟶ 145:
** At one point in the Manga, it's implied that she teases Crisis into doing ''something'' sexual with her. This wouldn't be so bad except Crisis is ''never'' shown in any other sexual situation in ''any'' other canon work. ''[[Like Brother and Sister|And Crisis views Vivian as a surrogate big sister.]]''
* [[To Serve Man]]: Humans are favored over most other available food by sentient predators.
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Nikita serves as this for the Spetz. She's not evil ''per se'', but she still gulps down the occasional human, despite the Sptez being composed of "prey species".
* [[Trapped in Another World]]: Many stories have this as their basic premise. Those unlucky enough to become trapped in Felarya will be forced to adapt ''quickly'' to the dangerous environment, lest they be eaten.
* [[Turtle Island]]: Torkudas Island
Line 151 ⟶ 152:
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: When a great deal of non-human sentient races are notoriously known as man-eaters, there is no doubt a strong bias against such predators on their behalf.
* [[When Trees Attack]]: Carnivorous plants being abundant, don't be surprised when you're dragged underneath what looked like a harmless tree by its roots.. Or discovering too late a giant dryad that's been looming over you.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Ironically, this applies to the half-snake naga Crisis. She's completely phobic of tonorions - [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|magic-shrugging, armored, spiked, carnivorous giant insects]] - having experienced a nearly fatal encounter with one in the past. Despite being a feared predator and being quite able to take care of herself, she totally loses her wits about them - even comparably tiny ones frighten her.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: The creator has a [http://www.felarya.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki] ([[NSFW]]) for canonical characters and stories.
* [[Word of God]]: The creator, Karbo, is quite involved in the community and has a tendency to discuss ideas presented in the community and accept/reject [[Fanon]].
* [[World Tree]]: The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Giant Tree]] is heavily implied to be one of these. There's even an entire religion that worships it.
* [[World of Badass]]: If you don't [[Took a Level Inin Badass|get dangerous very fast]] in Felarya, you're lunch.
* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: A few predators have this sentiment, most notably Fiona and Katrika.
