History Webcomic / KeychainOfCreation

** Lampshaded in strip [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0319.html 319]], where the stick figure art became... [[BuffySpeak less... stickfigurey.]] (ARMS!!!) Explained in-story as a result of Marena and Secret's first step into learning sorcery, and "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall changing how they perceived reality]]".

* AsideGlance: Several, but one of the best examples is when TheDragon tells the local FourthWallObserver / [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] (who has just been OutGambitted) to "[[EvilGloating indulge a little]]", since no one's around. TheChessmaster [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0269.html looks right at the audience, smiles, and says]] "[[AllAccordingToPlan Just as planned]]."

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: "...I beseech you to guide events that [[ExactWords my sister]] will not reveal our nature to our enemies." [[spoiler: At that point her own armband of nature suppression snapped.]]

* CoolSword: The Keys, of course, but also Misho's other sword, the Blade of Vitality. It makes its wielder immortal--immortal even compared to the Exalted.

* FiveBadBand: Resonance Ben's "band".

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: in an early strip, Secret calls Marena a "bossy overweight oversexed shapeshifting cow" and gets pushed down a long fall for it. The title of the comic is "I am not a cow!".

* NWordPrivileges: Parodied with the derogatory "'nathema".

* OneWayVisor: "Sarge", one of Nova's cyborgs.

-->'''Alchemical:''' You're...you're blocking my smell with your own? That doesn't make any sense!

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Ben and Flame are pretty much at the bottom of The First And Forsaken Lion's chain of command: Ben's department is Morale, since he's a musician, and Flame's is Recruitment, since he summons the undead. Neither of these ''requires'' any actual combat skills, implying that they weren't recruited for their combat prowess, but rather for their abilities in those areas instead. Which may give you an idea of just how powerful the guys at the top of the chain are (since Ben and Flame, two of their "weakest" members, are incredibly powerful). Especially the heads of "Equipment" and "Guerilla", who were sent off to go and do some serious ass-kicking to The First And Forsaken Lion's enemies. Remember, equipment includes weaponry... like giant essence cannons.

* UnstoppableRage: Subverted with [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0220.html comic #220]]. An Abyssal is blackmailing Misho, hammering on every last one of his emotional stress points until he goes into Limit Break -- but as it turns out, his Limit Break is Heart of Tears...

* XanatosGambit: the [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0005.html God of Locks pulls a pretty classic example]] -- the heroes killing him fulfils his plan just as much as if they'd left him to his own devices
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Lampshaded.

* YouWannaGetSued: It's not a "Keyblade", get it?

* HeroicBSOD: Misho in #220, [[spoiler:when faced with giving Ben the key and saving countless innocent lives (while simultaneously dooming all of Creation), or keeping it and effectively condemning them to death at the hands of countless undead troops.]] This is an actual rule in ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' -- what you see is the Heart of Tears Limit Break, where a Compassionate Solar becomes literally [[AngstComa catatonic]] with indecision and guilt over every decision he's made.

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: It might be possible to find a drug or toxin that will incapacitate Ten Winds. You'll have to look for a ''long'' time (and commandeer the help of a few gods and/or demons) before you find it.
** Marena's mother fed her tiny doses of poison to protect her from assassinations... which never happened anyway.

* ArtEvolution: Lampshaded in strip [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0319.html 319]], where the stick figure art became... [[BuffySpeak less... stickfigurey.]] (ARMS!!!) Explained in-story as a result of Marena and Secret's first step into learning sorcery, and "[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall changing how they perceived reality]]".

* ArtShift: Creatures of the Wyld, Primordials, ghosts, and gods (''especially'' [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0191.html gods]]) are each drawn in a significantly different style from the main cast. TheFairFolk are a very subtle example - they don't have outlines, just colors.
** TheFairFolk have outlines, albeit only exterior, but they do have outlines.

* BigBadEvilGuy: The First and Forsaken Lion. As a nine-foot tall man wearing armour forged from souls and hellbent on [[OmnicidalManiac killing everything ever]], he's one of the more literal examples of this trope. It's worth noting that this is rather pointedly spot-on to his portrayal in the game's canon.
** Technically, he 'only' wants to kill the Neverborn. Everyone else is just collateral damage...

* CanonImmigrant: Open up [=MoEP=]: Alchemicals, flip to page 81. Look at the last name on the list of prominent Alchemicals.

* CelibateHero: Misho. Even Marena's charms don't work on him, [[spoiler: not that she hasn't been trying.]]
** Her [[LoveIsInTheAir pheromones]], [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0121.html on the other hand]]...

-->"If we hadn't come to fight you, there'd be no reason to have us in this comic. And then we wouldn't exist."
** It needs to be noted that this perfectly fits the portrayal of the Fair Folk in ''Exalted''. They live stories, and the more powerful ones '''are''' stories.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[TemptingFate Don't ever tell a god that what is going on isn't their concern.]] Otherwise, even if it isn't, they'll MAKE IT their concern, just to spite you.
** Although, considering the relative positions of the Exalted and lesser gods, it's as much C'thulhu flipping YOU off.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Subverted with Resonance Ben, who is blind and uses inhumanly acute hearing to 'see' because he thinks it's cool, but who constantly has it turned against him in various ways.

* DynamicEntry: Done by Ten Winds early on. ''JUSTICE!''

-->'''Misho:''' Mostly, they're images of the primordials, as they were before the war. The gods felt it important we be reminded who we were fighting...thought we would feel a bit more confidence if we knew the nature of our foes.

-->'''Misho:''' That would be Adrián, the River of All Torments. The gods weren't...used to humans, at that point.
* ExactTimeToFailure: Subverted. Mew Cai announces that the Soaring Manse will self destruct in 47 seconds, [[spoiler:but waits until the evil Abyssals attacking the party have left before she mentions how to stop it]].
** [[spoiler: DoubleSubverted, as something else caused the catastrophic chain reaction that killed her a few minutes later.]]

* FearlessFool: Fury has Valor 5. [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0279.html It shows.]]
** Also [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0280.html here]]. Compare her reaction with that of the others.

** LudicrousGibs

** SixthRanger: Ragara Karen (Solar) -- The odd one out, as the logical fifth party member would be a Sidereal.
*** [[spoiler:Ten used to work for the Sidereals, though.]]

* FourthWallMailSlot: As explained by the author, it sorta makes some sense, since the characters who do it know they're in a comic anyway.
* FreudianExcuse: Marena has a lot of issues regarding her mother. After we find out what Aria's idea of "parenting" seems to be, it's suddenly a lot less surprising.
** [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0317.html Take a look]], and pay close attention to Misho. You can actually watch his faith in the world slowly dying.
* FunbagAirbag: Take note of the [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0374.html first and last panel]].
** Also counts as FunnyBackgroundEvent.

* GenreSavvy: All of them to an extent, but Ten especially. [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0073.html Watch]] as he shoots down the potential for at least one standard MacGuffin plot.

* HeroicBSOD: Misho in #220, [[spoiler:when faced with giving Ben the key and saving countless innocent lives (while simultaneously dooming all of Creation), or keeping it and effectively condemning them to death at the hands of countless undead troops.]]
** This is actually a rule in ''{{TabletopGame/Exalted}}''--what you see is the Heart of Tears Limit Break, where a Compassionate Solar becomes literally [[AngstComa catatonic]] with indecision and guilt over every decision he's made.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Mew Cai]]
** *Sniff* I've... [[SandInMyEyes just got something in my eye]]...

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Misho fights with a keyblade. And is in denial about it.
** First And Forsaken Lion seems to be going the keyblade route as well, as opposed to the soul-sucking {{BFS}} he wields in canon.
*** Misho mentioned [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0005.html early on]] that the First And Forsaken Lion had forged the Key of Soulsteel. And when considering what the Keys are capable of, it's not surprising that he'd trade his old sword in for the Key of Soulsteel.

* {{Jossed}}: The author has a neat way about handling this: He insists, constantly, that every single EpilepticTree is completely true, as sincerely as possible. No matter what context, IM, forum, in actual discussion, he insists they are always correct, so that in the end, everyone, including him, is proven wrong. It's absolutely [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=119647#p119647 hilarious.]]
** Jukashi has gone so far as to create a ForcedMeme out of this. [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6922&p=125265&hilit=+nooooo+my+scheme#p125265 "nooooo my scheme"]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Apparently, everyone but a sorcerer-initiate sees stick figure characters. This "fact" is used to hang a lampshade on the ArtEvolution in comic #319.
* LookBehindYou: Marena distracts a group of guards by shouting that the Kukla - a legendary Earth Dragon larger than a mountain range - is behind them. The ensuing conversation between the guards reveals they've fallen for this one before (you don't want to take chances with the Kukla). Of course, Marena was probably using a Charm on them.
** [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/fanart/petemansarge.png One fan comic]] showed the one time when they finally didn't fall for it. Guess what was sneaking up on them?

* MeaningfulName: Resonance Ben (Resonance being a side effect of an Abyssal not following the path set for them by the Neverborn).
** Of course, all Exalted get names like that, but only with some of them is it obvious why they're named so.
* MediumAwareness: The Fae and the Sidereals. Nemen Yi uses this to her advantage in combat: [[PanelBreak leaping from one panel to another, abusing perspective to hit multiple targets with a single slash]], and ''[[PanelBreak breaking off one of the comic's gutters and throwing it at Ben]]''. Then ''reaching across panels to smack the heads of two enemies together, and then throwing one of them across panel lines into another''. As you can expect, this is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
** Interestingly enough, [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0108.html Ten Winds has it too]] - the only "lucky number" here is the comic number. Fertiliser for EpilepticTrees right there...
** Also note that such Sidereal Shenanigans are not exaggerations. Their martial arts allow, among other things, [[RetCon retconning]] your position in the battlefield...

* MundaneUtility: Misho uses his divine power to create items from nothingness to make... a desk. A Glorious Solar Desk. Later, a hammer.
** A bit of MemeticMutation there too. GLORIOUS SOLAR <OBJECT> is fairly common in the rulebooks. For fun, replace <object> with anything. Desk. Chair. Pen. Hammer. [[NoodleImplements Pig]]. You get the idea.

** LovingAShadow: [[spoiler: She, on the other hand, won't entertain the notion of getting serious with Misho until she's sure he's seeing her as she is now, not as she was in the First Age.]]

* OddJobGods: comes with the territory of being set in the ''{{TabletopGame/Exalted}}'' 'verse. Examples so far include Kuka-Rem, god of political manipulation, and Costora, god of a beach. Not ''the'' beach. ''A'' beach.

* PaintingTheFourthWall: SpeechBubbles change color and border depending on the type of character talking and sometimes the Charms they are using, similar to [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick OOTS]], as well as the Fae (and Gods) being drawn differently.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Elegant Nova of Progression and her fellow Alchemical Exalted are all examples. To be fair, the Alchemical Exalted have human souls, like their fellow Exalted, and are closer to being cyborgs than true robots due to their artificial flesh. And at higher Essence levels, they're the foundation and central part of entire ''cities''.
** The Alchemicals here are "houseruled", and seem much more machine-like than normal Alchemical Exalted (being broken to pieces without any lasting harm, for example)... although interestingly, once the second edition Alchemicals book came out, much of those "houseruled" effects became canon -- and Nova herself [[CanonImmigrant became a canon character, if only through a name drop]]!

* RuleThirtyFour: The author has an adult fanart gallery, separate from the main one. Granted, it only has one picture so far, but that's not bad for a StickFigureComic. There is written porn as well, and Jukashi himself has gotten in on the act. %% Please, no external links to porn.

** [[Manga/DeathNote "Just as planned."]]

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Marena and Racer are [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0251.html most definitely not members of a secret society]]. That doesn't exist. And has no political influence. Or {{ninja}}s.
** Which is a running gag in the [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/index.php Exalted Compendium Redux Forums]], as shown [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=114111#p114111 here,]] as well as a running gag in the game itself. The section of the rulebook that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial doesn't present the White Veil Society]] also makes no assumptions about how it might be organized if it did exist, which it doesn't, and presents no Charms that describe the martial arts style that might suit their needs, if they existed. [[OverlyLongGag Which they don't,]] so don't worry about the ninjas that aren't right behind you.

* TrainingFromHell: Ten Winds and Marena decide to "help" Secret out when they find out how abysmal her Stamina and Manipulation abilities are.
-->"You can run or we'll go through the bee training again!"
** Recently, Karen has gotten in on the act. How does she let Secret know what to do?
-->'''Karen's [[{{BFS}} grand daiklaive]]:''' ''WH-THUNK!''\\

** Marena's mother also apparently inflicted TrainingFromHell on her at an early age, though this training was for ''[[DeadlyDecadentCourt social]]'', rather than physical combat.

* UnsoundEffect: [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0012.html anima!]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Ironically it's [[DarkIsNotEvil Secret]] who calls Marena out on it.
** Marena later calls Misho out when he [[spoiler:uses necromancy to summon Secret's father from the Underworld, as a trial she must overcome prior to learning sorcery]]. He doesn't seem to disagree.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Misho and Marena are just friends. [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0153.html That's what they agreed on.]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension Sure]] [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0077.html they]] [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0302.html are...]]

* LesYay: Occurs frequently between Marena and Secret, although it might be more accurate to state that Marena is [[ReallyGetsAround such a living embodiment of sexy]] that anybody and everybody is likely to get shipped with her. This was recently ''heavily'' hinted to be canon. (See FantasticArousal above.)
** One ''{{TabletopGame/Exalted}}'' forum had an unofficial poll to decide who Marena should be the [[ReincarnationRomance Lunar mate]] of. [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6772 Secret won.]]

** Of course it didn't: [[FridgeBrilliance In the First Age, there WAS no "Changing Moon" caste. That didn't happen until the Wyld corrupted the Lunar Exaltations, losing two castes in the process, and coming up with a new one with fragments of the old ones.]]

** Of course it didn't: [[FridgeBrilliance In the First Age, there WAS no "Changing Moon" caste. That didn't happen until the Wyld corrupted the Lunar Exaltations, loosing two castes in the process, and coming up with a new one with fragments of the old ones.]]

** Of course it didn't [[FridgeLogic In the First Age, there WAS no "Changing Moon" caste. That didn't happen until the Wyld corrupted the Lunar Exaltations, loosing two castes in the process, and coming up with a new one with fragments of the old ones.]]

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Misho seems this way. Whether or not his status as a SternTeacher negates or reinforces this trait is [[YourMileageMayVary a matter for the reader.]]

* TheWorfEffect: Ben and Flame beat Our Heroes in a fight despite being outnumbered, but Nemen Yi is able to effortlessly defeat them both, establishing her character as absurdly powerful, which you'd pretty much expect of a thousand-year-old Sidereal.
** On the other hand, the time they did beat them was when they had several advantages such as a pack of zombies tying down one of the main fighters. So, it is less them randomly getting weaker and more the deck not being so stacked in their favor next time.
** Poor Misho. He's a ''Solar,'' which means that metaphysically he's the most powerful member of the group (not to mention he's a ridiculously powerful Sorcerer), but his only real victory in battle was over a handful of Raksha. (A Solar stomping Raksha -- even really powerful ones, which these were not -- is kind of like a cat beating a mouse in a fight.)

** [[RedDwarf But where do all the Toasters go?]]

* XanatosGambit: While every Sidereal, everywhere, can be presumed to be running at least one of these if not more, Nemen Yi [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0269.html goes out of her way to remind us of the fact]].
** Also, the [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0005.html God of Locks pulls a pretty classic example]] -- the heroes killing him fulfils his plan just as much as if they'd left him to his own devices.

* SealedEvilInACan: The Yozis, and the five [[strike:keyblades]] keys are the can openers.

''[[http://keychain.patternspider.net/ Keychain of Creation]]'' was (see PaintingTheFourthWall, below) a StickFigureComic set in Creation, the world of the {{Exalted}} roleplaying game. It follows the adventures of a quartet of Exalted as they quest to retrieve five magical keys that hold the evil Primordials sealed away: Misho, a Twilight Caste Solar, who has all of his Exaltation's memories dating back to the First Age, but no memory of his current mortal life, which can't ''possibly'' be suspicious; Marena, a Changing Moon Caste Lunar with a fox totem, a flirtatious, fun-loving, confident woman... who's quite possibly the most terrifying of the group; Secret, a renegade Day Caste Abyssal with some major self-esteem problems; and Ten Winds, an elderly Air Aspect Terrestrial, formerly a monk in the Immaculate Order, who left because he [[DefectorFromDecadence grew disillusioned with the Order]], and because he enjoyed the pleasures of the world a bit too much.

GenreSavvy and awareness of game mechanics is universal, and a source of much of the humor. The art style and premise were inspired by the ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', but ''Keychain'' spends less time [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the conventions of the [=RPGs=] and fantasy stories and more time on the over-the-top action that made {{Exalted}} famous.

Unfortunately, the webcomic is on hiatus as the author is recovering from tendonitis. Even so, he has been devoting the time he would have otherwise spent on the comic to writing homebrew material for the Exalted setting, which is worth a look at. It is currently not known when (or unfortunately "if") it will begin updating again, as tendonitis can take a long time to heal (and also has the possibility of turning chronic, hence the "if").

* BewareTheSuperman: Marena's justification for being a shamelessly flirty homewrecker is, well...[[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0092.html take a look for yourself.]] In the [[{{Exalted}} source material]], this is an EnforcedTrope, as most Exalted are afflicted by the [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Great Curse]], and those that aren't have [[WalkingWasteland other]] [[ContractualGenreBlindness problems]].

** It needs to be noted that this perfectly fits Exalted's portrayal of the Fair Folk. They live stories, and the more powerful ones '''are''' stories.

* EldritchAbomination: The primordials, as per Exalted canon.

** This is actually a rule in Exalted-what you see is the Heart of Tears Limit Break, where a Compassionate Solar becomes literally [[AngstComa catatonic]] with indecision and guilt over every decision he's made.

** One {{Exalted}} forum had an unofficial poll to decide who Marena should be the [[ReincarnationRomance Lunar mate]] of. [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6772 Secret won.]]

* {{Munchkin}}: Encouraged in the Exalted universe and exemplified by several characters.
** Resonance Ben is a wonderful character with lots of depth and some truly amazing moments. However, anyone who attempts to create a character in a real-life Exalted game who does ''anything'' like what Ben does with Resonance should be shot, as the whole point of Resonance is to penalize the Abyssal for defying the rules of their masters.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In the inimitable ''{{Exalted}}'' tradition.

* OddJobGods: comes with the territory of being set in the ''{{Exalted}}'' 'verse. Examples so far include Kuka-Rem, god of political manipulation, and Costora, god of a beach. Not ''the'' beach. ''A'' beach.

--> '''Misho:''' SOL DAMNIT THAT SHOULDN'T DO ANYTHING EVEN IF IT IS POSSIBLE!

** The Alchemicals here are "houseruled", and seem much more machine-like than normal Alchemical Exalted (being broken to pieces without any lasting harm, for example)... although interestingly, once the second edition Alchemicals book came out, much of those "houseruled" effects became canon - and Nova herself [[CanonImmigrant became a canon character, if only through a name drop]]!

* RPGMechanicsVerse: With {{Exalted}} being the RPG.
* RuleOfCool: As with {{Exalted}}, a lot of things are handwaved with "We're Exalted! We're just that awesome!"

* ShoutOut: [[RedDwarf But where do all the Toasters go?]]

** Also, the elevator muzak is [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Cruel Angel's Thesis]]. Which considering the questions raised by Misho's backstory could be Foreshadowing. Or not.

* PaleSkinnedBrunette: Secret.

GenreSavvy and awareness of game mechanics is universal, and a source of much of the humor. The art style and premise were inspired by the ''OrderOfTheStick'', but ''Keychain'' spends less time [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the conventions of the [=RPGs=] and fantasy stories and more time on the over-the-top action that made {{Exalted}} famous.

* PaintingTheFourthWall: SpeechBubbles change color and border depending on the type of character talking and sometimes the Charms they are using, similar to [[OrderOfTheStick OOTS]], as well as the Fae (and Gods) being drawn differently.

* SerialEscalation: What incredibly strange things can a stick figure do? How strange can the weapons get? How ''cute'' and '''adorable''' can Secret be? Or Misho? How much can this comic outclass OrderOfTheStick in fight scenes? And what new bizarre-yet-awesome [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot character type combinations]] [[hottip:* : Mexican mummy/sorcerer wielding soul-encrusted chainsaw katars, A blind MusicalAssassin rockstar, A pheromone-emitting hippy android, a cyborg bandito/raptor transformer, a five-armed patchwork giant drummer, a shape-shifting cowboy martial artist...]] can Jukashi think up?

* {{Munchkin}}: Resonance Ben is a wonderful character with lots of depth and some truly amazing moments. However, anyone who attempts to create a character in a real-life Exalted game who does ''anything'' like what Ben does with Resonance should be shot, maybe with the Essence Cannon from the first comic. And any [[GameMaster ST]] who allows it is banned from running any game ever again.
** To clarify: Resonance is the thing that Abyssals are punished with because they don't have the Great Curse anymore (and therefore do not suffer Limit Break). Gaining Resonance is supposed to be a ''bad'' thing. Therefore, anyone who creates a Charm that weaponizes Resonance has not only [[CompletelyMissingThePoint missed the whole point]], but also has [[GameBreaker broken the game beyond repair.]]
** Listen to his dialogue as well -- he even sounds as if he's being played/acted by a Munchkin.
*** Misho took a crapton of flaws to pay for badass abilities [[SubvertedTrope It actually DOES screw him over pretty frequently, and causes a lot of problems for the Character]]

** Three Words: [[DeathNote Just As Planned.]]

** [[DeathNote "Just as planned."]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: What utterly impossible things can a stick figure do? How strange can the weapons get? How ''cute'' and '''adorable''' can Secret be? Or Misho? How much can this comic outclass OrderOfTheStick in fight scenes?
