History Literature / TheBigWaste

* EvilIsSexy: Played with. Clarissa is definitely seen as sexy but she is somewhere between AffablyEvil and ALighterShadeOfBlack. Contrast with Richter Baker who fits the trope like a glove.

* FullFrontalAssault: Clarissa and Mode are both deadly fighters who have little concept of human modesty (justified due to being a WildChild and RobotGirl respectively)

The first Post-Apocalyptic E-novel in the '''After-Skirmish''' series by C.W. Ashley.

!![The Big Waste] contains examples of:

AllWomenAreLustful: Can Apply to Iggy's companions. All 3 make the first move with him, seeming to have a very healthy sexual appetite, although the true reasons for this vary among them.

AmazonChaser: Iggy ends up as this. All 3 of his companions are extremely powerful and deadly in their own way.

AmazonianBeauty: Clarissa is 6'2, built with solid muscle and is described as very alluring. Sil also counts; she isn't as tall but still very toned.

AmbiguousGender: Penoli at first, but Iggy determines her to be female after she speaks.

AnArmAndALeg: Slight subversion as Mode is an android who isn't fully built, and is missing an arm due to being incomplete.

BadGuyBar: Subverted. The Iron Knuckle ''appears'' to be this when Iggy first arrives, but he soon finds the rough looking patrons to be quite affable and friendly (in part due to Iggy's RespectedByTheRespected celebrity status).

CarFu: Iggy was the number 4 ranked Derby Driver in the world for a reason.

CoolCar: The Blockgain Chaser is a custom muscle car, infamously known the waste as the ''The Black Kill-Car''

CrapsackWorld: This for anyone living outside of the Citadel (which isn't even that great). The Big Waste is a polluted, war ravaged DeathWorld filled with things wanting to kill, rob and eat you all the time. As one character says ''"Don't worry, you won't live long enough to starve out here"''

DistractedByTheSexy: Iggy. He is immensely attracted to his companions and they all steal his focus on more than one occasion.

EvilIsSexy: Played with. Clarissa is definitely seen as sexy but she is somewhere between AffablyEvil and ALighterShadeOfBlack. Contrast with Richter Baker who fits the trope like a glove.


FullFrontalAssault: Clarissa and Mode are both deadly fighters who have little concept of human modesty (justified due to being a WildChild and RobotGirl respectively)


NewNeoCity: Citdaels are societies ''attempt'' at this. Most people in Citadels live fairly safe lives in comparison to the rest of the world. They are Proto-Cyberpunk cities that have CityNoir and NeonCity for the wealthiest 'Citi-zens' and more of an IndustrialGhetto for the poorer class.

VampireWerewolfLoveTriangle: Downplayed. Iggy does have a relationship with both Sil and Clarissa. But apart from some initial wariness of each other, they get on fairly well and Clarissa comes to care about Sil nearly as much as Iggy does.

VampiresAreSexGods: Clarissa. She's had lots of sex with lots of people and she's good at it. Though her true desire for it lies within the rush she gets from ''absorbing bodily fluids'' after climax.

YouSexyBeast: None of the females in Iggy's BattleHarem are human.

BadGuyBar: Subverted. The Iron Knuckle ''appears'' to be this when Iggy first arrives, but he soon finds the rough looking patrons to be quite affable and friendly (in part due to Iggy's RespectedByTheRespected
celebrity status).

The first Post-Apocalyptic E-novel in the 'After-Skirmish' series by C.W. Ashley.
In a vicious future, humanity is struggling to rebuild society after a near endless string of devastating wars known only as the 'skirmishes'. Currently the only semblance of civilization are the fortress-like 'Citadels' where the most fortunate live. And the former cities ravaged by conflict now known as 'Shells' of their former selves. Outside of these structures there is only 'The Big Waste' an almost endless stretch of barren land roaming with mutant predators and deadly bandits.
