''Epiphany'' follows Eli, a young boy in his first year of high school, through his life with his friends, his distant preacher father, and the PopularityFoodChain.

Oh, and there's also some subplot about duality, the major religion of this universe, and the two gods who created the world, and the fact that (spoiler) one may still be around.

!!This series provides examples of:

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:Eli's dad is fixed from Oscar's perspective, at least!]]
* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Type IV. Sure, Oscar healed Eli's comatose father, but he now he's a ''actual'' deer.]]
* CastOfSnowflakes: Besides Eli and his dad and Andrew and his family, no two characters are the same species.
* DeadpanSnarker: Andrew. So hard.
* FanNickname: Hipster Lion for Oscar, the lion with sunglasses [[spoiler: who happens to be a former God.]]
* FurryConfusion: Averted. Eli knows the difference between a "people deer" and a "deer deer". [[spoiler: And his dad is definitely not the latter.]]
* GodIsFlawed: [[spoiler:The aforementioned Hipster Lion/Oscar is kind of a selfish jerk.]]
* JerkJock: Scott, who also qualifies as a JerkassWoobie.
* NonMammalMammaries: Val has 'em.
* OhMyGods: Quite literally. Since the religion is based around two gods all phrases with 'God' use 'Gods'.
* PalsWithJesus: [[spoiler:Eli and Oscar.]]
* PsychicNosebleed: [[spoiler: Oscar after "curing" Eli's dad.]] Combined very unsettlingly with a SlasherSmile.
* ShoutOut: [[http://www.threewordphrase.com/presbird2.htm President Bird]] is on their [[http://ianjay.net/?p=649 money]]!
* StealthPun: The author loves these.
** The cast are all animals. They live in ''Savannah'', Georgia.
** [[http://ianjay.net/?p=313 It's a deer in headlights.]]
** Andrew, rebellious scion of a well-to-do family, is a sheep. While he's usually white, there are occasions [[BlackSheep when he's in shadow.]]
* WhamEpisode: [[http://ianjay.net/?p=313 Chapter 2, Page 37]] in which [[spoiler: Eli's dad is hit by a truck.]]
** Or how about when Eli[[spoiler: ''bursts into flames and sees into forever?'']] That's where it goes from "slice of life with funny animals" to... something else entirely.
* WreathedInFlames: Eli, temporarily.
