The Dragon Doctors: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Sarin and Mori. [http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Dragon_Doctors/index.php?p=520625 Especially Sarin], though Mori fits the trope better.

* [[Badass Boast]]: A few.

'''Goro:''' Never underestimate a guerilla defending their turf. This is a hospital. ''You're in my jungle now.'' }}

* [[Badass Labcoat]]: Mori usually wears a white double-buttoned affair, like [[Doctor Steel]].

* [[Clothing Damage]]:

** Weaponised as another effect of Mori's Spell Gun.

** Sarin also uses this as punishment for a very nosy magic user, permanently making it so the woman's magic causes her to destroy any clothing she's wearing. ( {{spoiler|Although Sarin is bluffing in order to torment the mage, it'll only last for a week. Or at least, it's only SUPPOSED to last for a week... }}) She also uses it to disable {{spoiler|Elizabeth}} in a hostage situation. As she girl says, "she loves that spell."

** In a subversion of the usual transformation clothing damage, Mori explodes her shirt when she turns into a man.

* [[Die Hard on an X|Die Hard in a Hospital]]: Goro's overnight stay awaiting the [[Life Energy]] transplant does not go well.

* [[Discount Lesbians]]: The inhabitants of Agri Village, and in the main cast {{spoiler|Aki and Goro}}.

'''Spirit:''' Pfft. Like I care about technicalities. }}

** The {{spoiler|Aki and Goro}} pairing is especially strange because, in one regard {{spoiler|they're both heterosexual men}}.

* [[Fatal Attractor]]: Greg's had a lot of girlfriends in the past, all with interesting backgrounds, but he also had to break up with all of them due to unusual circumstances. The worst was when one (an alchemist) accidentally split herself into a dozen copies of herself; Greg couldn't date all of them and it wouldn't have been fair to just settle on one, so they broke up.

* [[Fatal Family Photo]]: [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]].

** {{spoiler|It's backstory though, so we already know Mori lives.}}

* [[Fetal Position Rebirth]]: {{spoiler|Tanica}}, once she finally gets cured of {{spoiler|being a tree.}}

* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: Another effect of the Spell Gun exploding, combined with a [[Gender Bender]].

* [[Gender Bender]]: Happens quite a bit, though usually not gratuitously. Also:

''*bwooomp!*'' }}

* [[Gendercide]]: Well, nobody actually ''died'', but the first chapter of the story that sets everything in motion is a cursed valley that caused all its visitors and inhabitants to become permanently female. The protagonists are not immune to this curse either (they use protection magic, but it fails). They find out the curse is caused by an artifact that siphons masculinity from everything around it to promote plant growth (male fertility, basically). When Goro tried to attack it, it drained both his remaining masculine essence, as well as almost all of his strength essence, which comes dangerously close to being fatal over the long term. To blow it up, Mori has to sacrifice her own ''feminine'' essence and becomes a man permanently as a result, so all four of the protagonists start off the series getting permanently gender-bent.

* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: Nudity, mostly of the [[Magic Pants]] failure or [[The Nudifier]] variety, pops up as a semi-running gag.

** Minor character Priscilla was hit with a [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] for violating Sarin's privacy. Said curse makes it so whenever she uses magic, she innately destroys any clothing she's wearing. It's only after this that we discover her day job -- a wood-shaping (carpenter/artist) mage -- requires that she use magic ''all day long.'' {{spoiler|It's revealed several months later that the curse, designed to wear off after a week, refuses to go away even when specifically dispelled.}}

* [[Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom]]: All of the Crystal People use long names that describe their shape and color; e.g., "I am An Aesthetically Pleasing Humanoid Arrangement of Pretty Pink Crystals, but you can call me Pinky!"

* [[Not So Different]]: In an inversion of the norm, it's Sarin who gives one to Elizabeth. "You're like me: smart enough to forget you can make mistakes."
