History Characters / NatureOfNaturesArt

* BreakTheHaughty

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: One possible explanation for why [[XZ seemingly morphs into a much less stylized design after informing him she plans to leave the college. He initially saw her as childlike and idyllic, and her bald faced pragmatism in that moment is so contrary to that perception it breaks it down.]] Appropriately, the color of his eyes change with the news, as well.]]

* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Many of them die by their own tricks.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast

* [[spoiler:TheOneGuy: Gladicosa gulosa is the one male spider in the group.]]
** [[spoiler: NonActionGuy: For all that he talks a good game, we really don't see Gladicosa battle.]]
* [[spoiler: PuppeteerParasite: Patu digua, a species of spider believed to be the smallest in the world, attacks Lycosa this way.]]

* [[spoiler:LetsGetDangerous]]
* RecurringBoss

* [[spoiler:DisappearedDad]]

* ActionGirl
* CatsAreMean: Subverted.
* [[spoiler:EyepatchOfPower]]

* RedOniBlueOni: The red oni to Polarizing's blue.

* BadassTeacher

* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Rule's red.

* WellIntentionedExtremist

* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]] to Fiat's Red Oni. This is very clearly illustrated on page 189, which shows how they use the same fighting style differently.

* ActionGirl

* {{Red Oni|BlueOni}} to Syncope's Blue Oni.

* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard]]
* [[spoiler:KnightTemplar: Of his malice style.]]

* [[spoiler:VillainProtagonist]]

* [[spoiler: HealingFactor: [[TruthInTelevision Gulosa molts so that she can regrow her lost limbs,]] and, for a small while, at least, has to deal with stubby little appendages in place of her full-size ones.]]
* HotBlooded
* ImprovisedWeapon: ''Many.''

* [[MamaBear Mama Spider]]: Gulosa is ''not'' happy to learn that her eggsac has been stolen.

* [[OneManArmy One Spider Army]]: She takes on the ''entire'' Pisaurina clan by herself. ''And wins.''

* BadassGrandpa: The guy gets an entire monologue about how he's old, but something like age isn't going to slow him down.

** BadassTeacher
* BigOlEyebrows
* {{Determinator}}
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* {{Red Oni|BlueOni}}: To Polarizing's blue.

* [[spoiler:TakingYouWithMe]]
* [[spoiler:WellDoneSonGuy: Not only was Rule a teacher, he was also a father figure to Meander.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist

* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: To Rule's red.

* PrecisionFStrike: In the [[{{Bowdlerise}} first posting of the webcomic]], this was how he responded to [[spoiler: his head being smashed against the fucking wall.]]

* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler:Subverted. Yes, his metanoia severely damaged his halo brain, but it turns out that ''Rule'' destroyed it.]]

* PerpetualPoverty: Apparently Yuri is seriously in debt and constantly broke.

* DullSurprise: She channels KeanuReeves after [[spoiler: impaling the 8th and possibly final member of Venom 8]].

The protagonist of ''Lycosa''. At the start of the arc, she's searching for her lost eggsack. When she finds out that Venom 8 have taken it, she goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. And that's the basic plot of the arc... [[spoiler:but it wouldn't be [=NofNA=] without a twist at the end, now would it?]]

* [[MamaBear Mama Spider]]: Gulosa is ''not'' happy to learn that her eggsack has been stolen.

* {{Badass}}

* Badass / BadassNormal / BossInMookClothing : Despite lacking unique abilities and being so low-ranked that Venom 8 considers her a minion rather than a member, Pisaurina is the only spider to consistently, repeatedly, and effectively challenge Lycosa, even at the end of the storyline as Lycosa's power has grown. [[spoiler: In their final battle, [[EmpoweredBadassNormal she starts using factures]]!]]

* TheBeastmaster: Mastophora, the bolas spider, can use her false pheromones to control not only the usual moths, but also [[BeeBeeGun wasps and hornets that prey on spiders]].

* [[spoiler: PuppeteerParasite: Patu digua, a species of spider believed to be the smallest in the world. ]]

* TheBeastmaster: Uses her venom in an [[ArtisticLicenseBiology artistic-license way]] to control a praying mantis, which [[HorseOfADifferentColor she rides into battle]]. Later, she apparently controls her entire clan to simultaneously attack Lycosa ([[ConservationOfNinjitsu which ends badly]]).
* FirstNameBasis: Lycosa refers to her by species, while she addresses most other spiders by their genus.

* [[spoiler: TheBeastmaster: two of their number are adept at controlling praying mantises and hornets, respectively.]]
* DarkActionGirl: All of them [[spoiler:except for the ninth, Gladicosa gulosa]]. They are spiders, after all.

* BigBadassWolf

!!Yuri Sergiev ([[InsistentTerminology Mankind]])

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Deliberately; WordOfGod has stated that he's supposed to look a little bit like every race. That said, judging by the name, he's probably Russian (or of Russian descent).

* PerpetualPoverty: Apparently he's seriously in debt and constantly broke.

!!Evander Oneir (Mankind?)

Yuri's friend and a consciousness specialist. He works with Acheff and Hector.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He's got pointy ears, but otherwise appears completely human.

!!Diana (Mankind?)

* AmbiguouslyHuman: She's got pointy ears and purple hair, but otherwise appears completely human.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

!!Strelka (Dog)

* AmazingTechnicolourWildlife: Ever seen a green dog before? (Even her nose is green!) Given that this arc is set so far into the future, it's possible that genetic engineering had a hand in this.

* WrenchWench: Albeit of the non-{{Fanservice}} kind.

!!Able "Abe" (Chimpanzee?)

* BadassBookworm: An engineer, a gamer, and a martial artist.
* BunnyEarsLawyer
* ChallengeGamer: This is a guy who goes for world-record high scores (in BulletHell games, no less!) and flips out if he's disturbed while playing.
* CoolShades: He gains an ''insanely'' cool pair of shades in a [[ShowWithinAShow game within the comic]]. Turns out he's got neat shades in real life as well.

!!Acheff (Guinea Pig)

Part of the development team that Yuri's company contracts to work on their spacecraft. Acheff is the software engineer and Hector's adoptive father.

!!Hector (Mouse)

Part of the development team that Yuri's company contracts to work on their spacecraft. Hector is a secretary and the art director, and is a firm believer in the power and relevance of art.

* AbusiveParents: It's implied that Hector's birth father was one of these. [[spoiler:Removing your son's tail because he "didn't deserve a 'tale'"]] is ''harsh''.
* HappilyAdopted: At least, Acheff seems to be a better father than Hector's biological father.
* InexplicablyTailless: Type I. [[spoiler:Specifically of the "formerly tailed" variety]].

* HeroicBSOD: He suffers a couple over the course of the story: the first follows a major defeat after his first serious sparring match; The second, suffered when [[spoiler: XZ informs him that she is quitting the college in order to raise a family]], is dramatic enough to [[ArtShift shift a character's art style]] and [[PaintingTheFourthWall lighten up the website's background.]]

--> ''[[ThisIsSPARTA GIVE ME - MY - CHILDREN BACK!!]]''

!!Able "Abe" (Ape)

[[folder:Arc #88]]

!!Evander Oneir (Mankind)

* AbusiveParents: It's implied that Hector's natural father was one of these. [[spoiler:Removing your son's tail because he "didn't deserve a 'tale'"]] is ''harsh''.
* HappilyAdopted: At least, Acheff seems to be a better father than Hector's natural father.

* PromotedFanboy: Yuri appears to be a space exploration history buff, going as far as wearing a "ye olde" space suit on the anniversary of Yuri Gargarin's birth. And then he gets to work on upgrading the long-since-retired space shuttle ''Discovery''.

* WhatAnIdiot: Spends an awful lot of time talking and boasting about the things he can do to Quintet, instead of actually doing most of them. Arguably justified somewhat in that he probably doesn't want to actually kill her, [[spoiler: going so far as to use a facture to open a hole in the previously closed off cavern and urge her to leave.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Murdering TY.]]

!!XZ / Nutsedge (Jerboa)

!! NT / Umbra (Degu)

* AlasPoorVillain: The manner in which some of the Venom Eight die tends to provoke this reaction in readers. Lycosa's complete lack of empathy in turn is practically a chronic KickTheDog moment.
