Line 7:
'''Sette:''' That's STOOPID. Walky roots are STOOPID critters.|'''''Chapter 1'''''}}
Rude, loud-mouthed [[Loveable Rogue|Sette Frummagem]] has been sent by her Da' to get the jukrum, the cut owed to the Boss-King thief, from her cousin who's "gotten too fancy for his pants." Accompanying her is [[Magic Knight|Duane Adelier]], a [[Cultured Warrior|markedly eloquent]] [[Our Liches Are Different|Galit]] who was, [[An Offer You Can't Refuse|uh]], [[Shame If Something Happened|persuaded]] to protect Sette from the dangers of the realm.
Cue problems.
Line 13:
''[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/ Unsounded]'' is a webcomic by Ashley Cope.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Achilles' Heel]] / [[Anti-Magic]]: For some reason, pymary doesn't work over large expanses of water, such as the ocean.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Sort of. There's a ''ton'' of miscellaneous information about the setting and characters on [https://web.archive.org/web/20130729190518/http://www.formspring.me/GlassShard Ashley's Formspring] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101182430/http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/world/index.php/Main_Page her wiki.]
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|Duane could ''feel himself rotting'' after he became a galit. This is on top of all the other horrific things he has to deal with as part of being a zombie.}} In addition to that, {{spoiler|zombies are a blasphemous abomination in his religion, so it's the rough equivalent of a devout Christian being turned into a slavering Satanic demon.}}
* [[Animals Hate Him]]: As noted by Duane about himself. Possibly because he's dead.
Line 20:
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: Lost an arm? No problem. There's a whole range of simulacrums. Including cigar-lighting and [[A Date with Rosie Palms|self-lubricating]].
* [[Art Shift]]:
** [http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch02/ch02_32.html Oh God, Duane], put your hood back up.
** [http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch03/ch03_02.html Jivi] gets one too.
* [[Author Catchphrase]]: Kind of. Ashley's typical response to people asking spoiler-y or story-related questions on her Formspring is simply "I wonder."
Line 64:
* [[Lizard Folk]]: Called "two-toes" here, named after the fact that they have, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|two toes]]. They're pretty small compared to humans though. They used to be subterranean, so they have poor sight and hearing but excellent senses of smell, making them useful as trackers.
* [[Magic Is Mental]]
* [[Magic Knight]]: Duane is not only an exceptionally skilled wright but skilled with a [[Simple Staff]] as well. According to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130710023556/http://www.formspring.me/DuaneAndSette his Formspring account,] when he was a military commander, he trained all the wrights under his command in weapon skills as well in order to [[Defied Trope|defy]] [[Squishy Wizard]].
* [[Magitech]]: Pymarics. Usually of the bionic (replicating living creatures) variety. Due to how the magic system works, they can only be made out of special materials. [[Word of God]] explains in a colourful metaphor [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103032751/http://www.formspring.me/GlassShard/q/183236643807847293 here.]
* [[Master of Illusion]]: Sort of. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130710024045/http://www.formspring.me/DuaneAndSette/q/252881031265270953 The illusory arts are Duane's favourite type of pymary], not necessarily because of practical application, but because of the artistic possibilities. He's still better at combat spells, though.
* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: Sette and Duane, with the twist that the mistress is prepubescent.
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: A commonly-asked question on Ashely's Formspring is the pronunciation of the characters' names. A guide to the two protagonists' names can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20130710024009/http://www.formspring.me/DuaneAndSette/q/262675824199604599 here] however.
* [[The Nose Knows]]: Sette.
* [[Oblivious Adoption]]: Sette mightn't be as oblivious as some, but she ''wants'' to believe she's her father's daughter. Despite the tail.
Line 93:
** Inverted with the Plats. They're fairly supernatural, having an increased affinity towards [[The Force|the khert]] (or something), which gives them heightened magical abilities. However, this also causes them to age very rapidly, so they can only live up to about 30.
** Inverted in a different way with the Coppers, who are notoriously awful wrights, but very long-lived.
* [[When Trees Attack]]: The Mamalen Entak (Wandering Root) was the antagonist of the first chapter. Bittersweet portrayal.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Quigley, and Plats in general. Combine with [[We Are as Mayflies]] above.
* [[Wizard Duel]]: Duane and Quigley in chapter 5. {{spoiler|By the end, though, it turns into an all-out brawl as Quigley starts breaking rules with abandon, culminating in him calling a powerful summon beast.}}
