Line 23:
----
* [[Action Girl]]: Silver and Celina best embody this trope. Quinn will, once she does more than spar with family and friends. Chatin, Cilke and a few others cover this trope to a (very slightly) lesser degree.
Line 31:
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Averted and played straight, depending on the situation. Most of the Cyantian characters speak Cyantian (derived from Latin) but they are required to speak English at the Mars Academy.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Alpha Akaelae. Although, Alpha Akaelae IS a leader in a culture of anthropomorphic wolves. Not to mention that "Alpha" becomes a title after the original Alpha Akaelae dies.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: There is the [http://shivae.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Shivaewiki] that has information about the characters, species and world of
** Though since it's a [[The Wiki Rule|wiki]] there are some inconsistencies and outright errors (Darius's relationship to Alpha for example, most pages say Alpha's his paternal grandfather while others say he's his maternal grandpa).
* [[Alphabetical Theme Naming]]: The C-Group Skunks have names that begin with "C". They are: Cisco, Cilke, Chrome, Chatin, Calle, Cam, Carrde and possibly others.
Line 41:
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Tira and Caite.
* [[Art Evolution]]: See the first comic in ''Campus Safari''. Then see the current ''Akaelae'' strip. Very different [[Art Shift|art style]], definitely better art quality.
* [[Art Shift]]: All comics written/drawn in
* [[Ascended Extra]]: ''Cesilee's Diary'' was meant as filler and was once only about 10 comic strips long. It is now scheduled for a rewrite and the original was merged into ''Campus Safari'' because it was that popular.
** Chrome is another example.
Line 129:
* [[Evil Minions]]: Niram and Filaire to Rama.
* [[Face Hugger]]: Chrome's miniwhip, Aurla.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: [http://cyantian.net/akaelae/2009/09/18/09182009/ This] is as close to a [[Panty Shot]] as we're going to get in
* [[Fan Service]]: Occasionally seen in comic, but mostly reserved for holiday or donation drive wallpapers.
** [http://cyantian.net/csafari/2002/10/01/10012002/\], that's the same raccoon mentioned above, just 9 years older. (Drawn in 2002, See: [[Art Evolution]])
Line 177:
** 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.
* [[Humans Are
** Tiffany is a fair author. Certain Cyantians are bastards, too.
* [[Humans Are Special]]: Quoting Darius: "They never give up."
Line 196:
* [[Instant Armor]]: Lifts are often stored in a [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] and can be summoned at a moments notice. If they're not the size of a small house.
* [[Intangible Man]]: Most siracs, at will. Though Quinn abuses it the most.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Contrary to what this article may make
** Chatin and Collin are a Skunk and a Raccoon. (Both genetically engineered from the setting's felines.)
** Cesilee and Marcus are an ocelot/puma hybrid and a human, though the relationship is more of Cesilee's obsession with Marcus than anything else. ([[Played for Laughs]]) Not to mention Marcus doesn't like felines.
Line 230:
** Khaelis' bad day while assigned to guard Jules is probably something he never wants to speak of again.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: ''Campus Safari'' to ''No Angel''. To the point of [[Canon Discontinuity]] to each other.
**
*** [[Alien Dice]]: A brutal [[Deconstruction]] of "[[Gotta Catch Em All]]" series.
*** Pure: A Sci-Fi Western, which also deconstructs perfection based societies before it travels out to be a western.
*** Shivae, in all three of it's incarnations. (All 3 are part of
*** [http://blackrose.shivae.net/ Black Rose]: Tiff's werewolf (and other mythical creatures) fantasy story. It gets files under [[Our Werewolves Are Different]] and [[Our Vampires Are Different]], for reasons only available [[All There in the Manual|in a podcast and possibly on the Shivaewiki.]]
**** It must be noted that
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Including technomage familiars and pets, [http://shivae.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Cyantian_Chronicles_Characters the current count is well over 200]. There might be a few more than that if the current crop of cameos hasn't been added in yet.
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: Sheana in Campus Safari and Celina in Akaelae.
Line 254:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Syris has one blue and one yellow eye.
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Zimae.}} Others have been hinted at as well.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]:
** Akaelae is bearing the brunt of this trope. Even with [[Plot Armor]], trepidation abounds.
* [[Morph Weapon]]: Darius's [http://cyantian.net/blog/2010/06/18/06182010/ birthday present]
Line 346:
* [[Servant Race]]: The immigrant Cyantians were originally intended as this for the Rumuah (after humans were found "unsuitable") and according to the Fox all Genoworks creations are as well.
** Cyantians were also briefly a [[Slave Race]] during the Squid occupation a century after the Rumuah went extinct.
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: [
* [[Shapeshifting Lover]]: Any Cil Hybrid that hooks up with someone. An odd dual case for Twinky and Velour, (Wereskunk and Wereferret) who have since broken up. (Part of Twinky and Velour's backstory, in the Shivaewiki.)
* [[Shock and Awe]]: {{spoiler|Vin steps out of a cave and displays [http://cyantian.net/blog/2012/04/13/04132012/ a new way to deal with] [[Complete Monster|his father.]]}}
Line 360:
* [[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
* [[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 393:
** "Dratsad" fills in the role of "Bastard".
** "Squid on a Stick!" is this troper's favorite variation.
* [[Villainy Discretion Shot]]: Used to good effect in all of
* [[The Virus]]: {{spoiler|Designed by the fox ruling class, it was meant to use against the "guttouve" (lower caste) foxes. It backfired and nearly wiped out the whole of the fox population by turning them into [[Word of God|"very fast
* [[Wacky College]]: Mars Academy needs its own Special Ops team and freaks out more than one earth native.
** Jules and Marcus apparently went to one, before getting taken to Mars Academy.
