* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: Turns out Mikey's plan all along was to [[BatmanGambit kill the five mages on Earth so that Lore will personally come to Earth to oversee the invasion, because Lore is weaker and easier to kill on Earth]].]]

[[spoiler: Turns out Mikey's plan all along was to [[BatmanGambit kill the five mages on Earth so that Lore will personally come to Earth to oversee the invasion, because Lore is weaker and easier to kill on Earth]].]]]]
** Subverted with [[spoiler: Lore. In the first few arcs, there's a number of hints that Lore might not be the villain he's made out to be -- he gives a few heroic speeches, he's mentioned as a previous chosen one, and when he defeats Mikey he heals him and politely shows lets him see his family. Then he finally gets a portal to Earth and nope! Turns out he's every bit the evil dark lord he seemed]].



* OneWingedAngel: When pressed in combat, God King Lore switches from his normal rotting-meat war form to add reptilian wings and a tentacled lower body.

to:

* OneWingedAngel: This is what happens when wizards use their powers, explicitly called a "mage form". When pressed in combat, God King Lore switches goes one step further, switching from his normal rotting-meat war form to add reptilian wings and a tentacled lower body.

Added DiffLines:

** Also of the AdventureFriendlyWorld. Terrenos is in many ways a standard fantasy setting, with monsters and dark lords...making it an absolute nightmare to live in, with almost everyone there traumatized by the constant danger.


Added DiffLines:

* GovernmentConspiracy: The US government has been aware of the existence of magic since 1947 and have a secret warehouse of magical artifacts from around the world.

* HereWeGoAgain: Teased at the end of the last issue. [[spoiler:Mikey and Rya lose track of their daughter Mya while playing with her in the woods. Both of them become frantic as they recognize the similarity to what happened to Mikey. Fortunately averted at the very end when they find Mya.]]

Five Man Band is undergoing a wick-cleaning project, so zero-context examples, as well as roles with little to no context, will be deleted.


* FiveManBand: The Five Mages compose a HeroAntagonist variant of this trope.
** TheLeader: Kylen.
** TheLancer: Sameal.
** TheBigGuy: Enoch.
** TheSmartGuy: Ward.
** TheChick: Mastema.

Adult Fear is now a disambig


* AdultFear:
** Imagine one day you are playing with your children in one moment and in the next one, they just vanish without a trace. Even worse, some rumors start circling around that you may have killed them, tearing your family apart. It's basically what happened with Aaron Rhodes and his family when his son Mikey went missing.
** Issue 25 ends with this trope twofold: [[spoiler:Brennan is kidnapped by Kallista before his parents' eyes and Mikey is denied the chance to approach his newborn daughter because of the danger he represents to his family, and there is nothing either can do about it]].

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Kylen immediately attacks Mastema after Michael told him that she is a traitor to Lore. He believes the words of an sworn enemy rather than his long standing ally rather than demand an explanation from her. The ensuing confusing ends up leading to [[spoiler:Michael breaking free and killing Kylen, all because of the latter was too much of an hothead]].

''Birthright'' is a comic series by Creator/ImageComics written by Joshua Williamson with art provided by Andrei Bressan and colors by Adriano Lucas, not only focusing on Mikey's attempts at re-connecting with his family but also serving as a desconstruction for the typical story of the KidHero TrappedInAnotherWorld and destined to defeat the BigBad and the subject of prophecies in general.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* MirrorCharacter:
** [[spoiler:Kallista]] to Mikey. Both lost family at a young age, fought alongside Rook for decades, and eventually joined Lore upon deciding that fighting him was only making things worse.
** While circumstances of motives differ significantly, [[spoiler:Mastema is revealed to be this to her father Lore, since they both want to establish an utopia via genocidal means - Lore wants to conquer all possible worlds so he can establish his idea of stability and order, while Mastema plots to have both Earth and Terrenos destroyed in hopes of containing Lore and re-creating a new world in her image. And just like him, her mind will not be swayed]].
** Lore and Mikey share a lot more in common than with each other when the former's backstory is revealed. [[spoiler:Both were children that were taken from their respective homes (Mikey was native from Earth and Lore from Terrenos) and deposited on each other's. Because of their traumatic experiences, they developed deep hatred against the worlds where they were exiled to]].

** Diviners and Neverminds are spirits used in battle between Lore and his enemies that use demonic possession on it's victims. Unusually, Diviners are the most dangerous ones despite being supposed to be the most "benevolent" ones due to being anti-Lore, since they are more powerful than any Nevermind, can possess multiple people at a time, corrupt the surrounding environment and will destroy ''literally anything on their path until anything touched by a Lore agent is killed''.
