The Cast
* [[Old Master|Ai Yah]] - This [[Bare
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Ben]], Arch-mage, exposition and comic relief.
* [[Farm Boy|Ciria]]. Born in an inconspicuous village, and raised there by very [[Secret Legacy|normal-seeming parents]], Ciria thirsts for adventure, despite the conflicts it causes with her well-developed common sense.
Line 17:
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Genes Are Codominant]]: Averted in Ben's case. He is a half-elf, but has a full beard, because his Y chromosome was inherited from his human father. It is stated that his sister look more elf-like, though.
* [[Bare
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Ai is determined to avoid sinful behaviour. Which is why his [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20040520.html negotiations] with some prostitutes for a back massage are amusing...
{{quote| '''Prostitute'''"Would it help if I undressed more?"<br />
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Contractual Genre Blindness]]: [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20011216.html This strip]
{{quote| '''Will:'''"Before I could kill you, form dictates I'd have to [[Just Between You and Me|tell you my evil plans]] - and I haven't finished them yet."}}
* [[Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu?]]: Will the Necromancer invites the gang in for a business proposition over tea - served in skulls, of course.
* [[Divine Intervention]]: The Gang's Divine Patron gives a discrete nudge to things from time to time.
* [[Exposed to The Elements]]: Ai Yah normally goes about in a loincloth. For a [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20061224.html holidays strip], while the rest of the Gang had donned thick winter outfits, he's geared up, too - in a vest, shorts and sandals...
* [[Elves vs. Dwarves]]: Played straight; at any rate, Dwarves don't seem to care too much for Elves, while the latter are being more graceful about it.
* [[Fat and Skinny]]: The thin, cynical Orc scout Tikker and his inexperienced nephew Kogg, a burly Orc/Ogre crossbreed, fit the trope perfectly.
* [[For Science!]]: Check [http://goldenage.comicgenesis.com/d/20050823.html Elondaro's reaction to the comment on animists and plagues].
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Aren't asian people named Ai usually female?
* [[Hot Skitty On Wailord Action]]: Kogg (Half-Orc/Half-ogre) is the product of a drunken bet by Tikker's older brother that he could seduce an ogress. He won the bet, but lost his life.
Line 68 ⟶ 67:
** Since we never hear his original last name, one may assume it was even worse...
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Elondaro, about a villainous tree: "Son of a beech".
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Zaphaster Badwill the Unholy ("Call me Will") was named and raised by the guild of Necromancers.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Ben's [[Cloudcuckoolander|zanyness]] is a direct result of knowing too much magic (especially, his favored school, Chaos magic). It has been stated that magic can overwrite your brain, which is why students memorize all those [[Magical Gesture|gestures]] and [[Magical Incantation|words]], to make casting harder, or at least something you don't do in your sleep.
