The Cyantian Chronicles: Difference between revisions

Line 58:

* [[Blessed With Suck]]: Cil are a dimension traveling explorer species that has transformational and energy/matter conversion abilities that could put a Technomage to shame. If only they lived more than 30 years. The Cil lifespan is so short that much of the entire species have permanently altered themselves into other species so they can live longer.

** Sean has pretty wings which attract girls. They also throw off his balance and sometimes itch. Some of the people they attract want to exploit his for movies, others want to worship him as an angel. They're also a result of Sean and his brother being altered in the womb by the American Men In Black, so the AMIB wants to recapture him and his brother. Even though his brother doesn't have wings.

* [[Blind Without Em]]: Twinky in Human Form.

* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Twinky in Human Form.

* [[Bound and Gagged]]: It happens more than once.

* [[Bounty Hunter]]: Genoworks Exotica wants it's creations back. This is their preferred method.

Line 119:

* [[Distressed Damsel]](s): Chatin and Cilke during ''Campus Safari'', [[Action Girl|though they're not the type to be held long]].

** Jules during No ''Angel'', bordering on [[The Load]].

* [[Door ~~Stop~~ Baby]]: Silver and other black, white and silver fox cubs. Justified because the parents are protecting them from a killer ruler who ordered the death of all of the black, silver and white foxes in his kingdom to eliminate the previous ruling caste.

* [[Door Step Baby]]: Silver and other black, white and silver fox cubs. Justified because the parents are protecting them from a killer ruler who ordered the death of all of the black, silver and white foxes in his kingdom to eliminate the previous ruling caste.

** Thankfully, the fox ruling cast gets better. See "The Virus" below.

* [[Drop What You Are Doing]]: Darius during Campus Safari.

Line 125:

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: [http://cyantian.net/blog/2011/10/17/10172011/#comments Filaire] to [[Complete Monster|Rama]]. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the [[Shout Box]]. Except, it's a subversion, Filaire will compromise those standards to get revenge on Shour Rashon.

** Played straight in the fact that [http://cyantian.net/blog/2011/10/19/10192011/ Filaire will not sleep with Rama.]

* [[~~Everythings~~ Better With Princesses]]: ''Gralen Cragg Hall''. Complete with [[Royal Brat]] and [[Spoiled Brat]].

* [[Everything's Better With Princesses]]: ''Gralen Cragg Hall''. Complete with [[Royal Brat]] and [[Spoiled Brat]].

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Tira, during ''Campus Safari''. {{spoiler|Because she was blinded by a gas that was designed to induce temporary blindness in humans that causes permanent blindness in cyantians. Tira actually sees through her technofamiliar and has very good hearing.}}

* [[Evil Minions]]: Niram and Filaire to Rama.

Line 142:

** Guest art always comes with a [[Shout Out]] to the creator and often links to the guest artist's comic and/or art page.

* [[Finger Poke of Doom]]: Occurs during one of ''Akaelae's'' more recent (September 2008) storylines.

* [[For Science]]: (And For Art!) Why else would Genoworks Exotica genetically engineer people like winged kangaroos, Potpourri skunk people and psychic raccoons.

* [[For Science!]]: (And For Art!) Why else would Genoworks Exotica genetically engineer people like winged kangaroos, Potpourri skunk people and psychic raccoons.

** For Profit?

* [[Four Fingered Hands]]: Foxes, but most other species have five fingers.

* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]: Foxes, but most other species have five fingers.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: More than one character has one, though the main villain that has one is Rama Tibal.

** It arguably only makes Rama sympathetic, not excusable.

Line 165:

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Quinn demonstrates a little of this in ''Akaelae''. Collin does too.

** Quinn demonstrates a certain amount of this in ''Darius'' too. Unfortunately, this is Quinn, so she also demonstrates a some [[Genre Blindness]] too. Fortunately, Brody has enough sense to protect Quinn from herself and some of the dangers she wouldn't normally heed.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself Man]]: Delivered [http://cyantian.net/csafari/2003/01/06/01062003/ twice] by a [http://cyantian.net/csafari/2003/01/29/01292003/ small jewelry box.]

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Delivered [http://cyantian.net/csafari/2003/01/06/01062003/ twice] by a [http://cyantian.net/csafari/2003/01/29/01292003/ small jewelry box.]

* [[The Glomp]]: Cesilee frequently pounces Marcus in ''Campus Safari'', much to Marcus' chagrin.

* [[The Greys]]: Cil in their natural form, and the Rumuah.

Line 176:

* [[Hot Witch]]: Certain amounts of fan reaction to Mercial (a technomage) point to this trope.

** Ditto for Phoenix.

* [[Huge Guy Tiny Girl]]: The parents in the Cisaan family are a Male Tiger, (over 6 or 7 feet tall) and a Female Rabbit, who is potentially under 5 feet. Though only their daughter, Autumn, who had to be specially genetically engineered by Genoworks Exotica due to genetic incompatibility is seen. She looks like a 6 foot cross between a lop eared rabbit and a tiger.

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: The parents in the Cisaan family are a Male Tiger, (over 6 or 7 feet tall) and a Female Rabbit, who is potentially under 5 feet. Though only their daughter, Autumn, who had to be specially genetically engineered by Genoworks Exotica due to genetic incompatibility is seen. She looks like a 6 foot cross between a lop eared rabbit and a tiger.

* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: The AMIB (American Men In Black) use brutal capture methods on various characters and are generally hated/feared/loathed/disliked. Other humans are mostly not as bad.

** Tiffany is a fair author. Certain Cyantians are bastards, too.

Line 210:

* [[Ironic Echo]]: Alpha Akaelae has fun with this trope during Akaelae.

** Cisco uses this against Collin in ''Campus Safari''.

* [[It Is Pronounced Tro-PAY]] Various Cyantian characters use Latin pronunciations for their names. IE:

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]] Various Cyantian characters use Latin pronunciations for their names. IE:

** Chatin = Sha-Teen not Satin.

*** Collin calls Twinky on calling Chatin "Satin" at one point. Although, to be fair, Twinky first heard Chatin's name through a translator, which translated it into "Satin".

Line 279:

** Beautiful Anthropomorphic Living Art Potpourri Skunk Women! And Potpourri Skunk Hunks for the ladies as well.

** Vixen Princesses of a Feline kingdom pretending to be Explorer Princesses.

* [[Non Idle Rich]]: The Akaelaes are implied to ''own'' most of the Akaelae lands and significant portions of the industry there as well. Not to mention the whole fighting wars and protecting the populace from certain past mistakes.

* [[Non-Idle Rich]]: The Akaelaes are implied to ''own'' most of the Akaelae lands and significant portions of the industry there as well. Not to mention the whole fighting wars and protecting the populace from certain past mistakes.

* [[Non Mammal Mammaries]]: Averted for the various avian and reptilian species. (Thankfully.)

* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]: Averted for the various avian and reptilian species. (Thankfully.)

** Subverted for the Crais, who are anthropomorphic sharks. The female Crais' gills are on their chest, which makes sense as they don't get squeezed by a growing child during pregnancy. However, this give the appearance of, well, mammaries. This fact causes the [http://cyantian.net/csafari/2001/05/28/05282001/ expected reaction] of [[Hello Nurse]] from Marcus.

{{quote| '''Ciphyr''': I will never understand how [[Lampshade Hanging|two curved masses can render some males into slobbering animals]]! They are '''gills!''' }}

Line 308:

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] caused by your mother getting possessed by a body hopping shapeshifting alien while she was pregnant with you.

** Specifically: Twinky, Saige, Velour and the other Cil Hybrids, arguably, they also cover [[Animorphism]], although it's restricted to their specific animal: Skunk for Twinky; Cougar for Saige; Ferret (or perhaps Weasel) for Velour; Wolf for Braedon. And several other as of yet unknown cil hybrids.

* [[Paper Thin Disguise]]: It doesn't fit, and he's not acting the part as well as he could, but it's a serious use of the trope.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: It doesn't fit, and he's not acting the part as well as he could, but it's a serious use of the trope.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Vincent, during ''Akaelae''. His mom left him so her abusive boyfriend couldn't hurt him anymore {{spoiler|and then the real father comes up (Rama) and slaughters both his mom and her boyfriend. Vin was, luckily, unconscious at the time.}} The story presents itself better than this weak summary.

* [[People Puppets]]: Marion, one of the Siracs, controls people's bodies, but not their minds.

Line 354:

** Quinn makes me wonder if she has a [[Star Trek the Next Generation|"Q"]] based name.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: The Shivaewiki shows a lot of work in making the comic's world believable, down to Cyantia having a listed mass in the "World" entry.

* [[Shut Up Kiss]]: Delivered to Vincent, complete with [[Post Kiss Catatonia]].

* [[Shut Up Kiss]]: Delivered to Vincent, complete with [[Post-Kiss Catatonia]].

* [[Single Minded Twins]]: Kika and Anka Krioka. Due to Neefla genetic memory, Neefla must be taught how to access and use the genetic memory. Usually, this means twins are separated. One pair of parents is usually only enough to teach one Neefla child how to use said genetic memory. Kika and Anka's parents kept both of their twins. As a side effect, they both are codependent on each other and enjoy the same pursuits.

As a side effect, they both are codependent on each other and enjoy the same pursuits.

** In a partial subversion, while they are currently codependent on each other, their personalities are [[Different As Night and Day]].

* [[Skunk Stripe]]: They're on the skunks!

* [[Smelly Skunk]]: Subverted three times.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Deadness]]: [[Word of God]] States that characters who are killed are [[Killed Off for Real]] and will stay [[Deader Than Disco]].

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]: Chatin and Cilke are referred to as Satin and Silk in parts of Campus Safari because their [[Translator Collar|Translator Collars]] mangled their names when they first arrived on earth.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Chatin and Cilke are referred to as Satin and Silk in parts of Campus Safari because their [[Translator Collar|Translator Collars]] mangled their names when they first arrived on earth.

* [[Spotting the Thread]]: The clues are there and some have been spotted. We're just not sure if they'll be headed.

* [[Squee]]: The sound heard when Cilke and {{spoiler|Chrome}} hooked up.

Line 406:

* [[Wham Line]]: There are a few here and there. There's a recent one that's taken Rama's [[Complete Monster]] status from debated to confirmed.

* [[When She Smiles]]: Celina is typically scowling or straight faced, but she has one of the warmest smiles of all the cast.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever]]: Alpha Akaelae (The original from Akaelae) views his thousand year lifespan as a burden. One can understand why when he's had more than one child get killed or die of old age. Not all of his children got his lifespan and old age hits extra hard when it finally catches up with him. Look up "Elites" in the Shivaewiki for more information on this.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Alpha Akaelae (The original from Akaelae) views his thousand year lifespan as a burden. One can understand why when he's had more than one child get killed or die of old age. Not all of his children got his lifespan and old age hits extra hard when it finally catches up with him. Look up "Elites" in the Shivaewiki for more information on this.

* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: Not only present in the aforementioned Shoutboxes, it is actively encouraged by the author and even given an alternate name: The Update Game.

** It's hilariously fun because Tiffany always keeps her fans guessing and/or in suspense.
