History Webcomic / OffWhite

''[[http://off-white.eu/ Off-White]]'' is a fantasy webcomic by Anna Podedworna and Katarzyna Redesiuk. The world in which the story takes place is a mixture of an interpretation Myth/NorseMythology mixed with original ideas. The comic revolves around a pack of wolves led by their alpha to meet a mysterious sage, who will decide the destiny Iki, the group's youngest member.

This comic is currently on a indefinite hiatus.

** Iki and a raven has OccultBlueEyes, while another raven has red eyes, mostly [[note]]young wolves have blue eyes, but most change color as they get older[[/note]] unnatural colors for those animals. This is intentional. It indicates the [[ItMakesSenseInContext color of their spirits]].
** Raigho goes on a tangent on how filthy and disgusting ravens are. Considering how often ravens and wolves interact, and even play together, this can come across as a bit jarring to the few who know this. Of course, this is part of his SuspiciouslySpecificDenial.
** In the world of ''Off-White,'' humans normally can't have blue eyes at all. This is necessary for the plot to work because white spirits are indicated by their blue eyes. If humans could have blue eyes in this comic, they would have no way of knowing that the human white spirit is gone, something that drives much of the plot.

** Raigho bites a caribou on the shoulder, and blood sprays everywhere. Canine jaws and teeth are designed to crush, so this would not happen regardless of where he bites the deer, especially in the bony shoulder area where there are few blood vessels. It makes for a very nice dramatic shot [[TropesAreNotBad though,]] and who would want there to be no blood splatter whenever they bite something?

* GreyEyes: One of bishop's eyes is grey. He apparently falls under magical/prophetic category.

** Iki at one point hopes that there are no [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh woozles]] or [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons werebadgers]] around. Jera asks him if he's [[Disney/ThreeLittlePigs afraid of the Big Bad Wolf.]]

** A conversation between Othala and Raigho seems to suggests that a female leading a pack is unusual. In reality, a wolf pack has two leaders, and according to some sources the female alpha is more likely to be dominate over the male alpha than vice versa.

** There is a [[EasterEgg hidden page]] that is done in a different style than the rest of the comic.

* EndangeredSpecies: There are no more humans being born because of the human white spirit's death. The comic implies this may also lead to the fading away of good, because he was the guardian of good, and the extinction of wolves, because they are a brother species.

* {{Badass}}:
** Sköll has been fighting for the last 300 years.

* AnimalTalk: This is subverted. Birds normally don't talk the same language as wolves if they talk at all. Iki is shocked when he can understand Hati's raven servants.

** Hati.
** The snow leopard.
* BilingualBonus: The runes that appear when a character casts a spell mean something, they are not just for show. For example, [[spoiler:when Sköll attacks Hati]] he says "Burn in my flames, [[spoiler: Hati Hróðvitnisson."]]

* BodySwap: The humans want to transfer the white spirit wolf's spirit into a human body to bring back the balance that was lost when the human white spirit disappeared. It must be a wolf because the only thing they have to go by is an old legend that pairs wolves and man together as being created at the same time.

* DemonicPossession: The bishop is possessed by twin dragon spirits, although it's unclear whether it's willing possession or even if he's possessed all the time or only during his rituals.

* EndangeredSpecies: There are no more baby humans being born because of the human white spirit's death. The comic implies this may also lead to the fading away of good, because he was the guardian of good, and the extinction of wolves, because they are a brother species.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The premise of the whole comic is that the balance of all things has been upset and thus everything is slowly going down the drain.
* EyeScream [[spoiler: Raigho]].
* [[spoiler: EverybodysDeadDave: Gebo and Kaya both stumble upon this.]]
* FantasticRacism: A snow leopard refers to humans as "wretched apes." Also some of the humans really don't like wolves.

* GlowingEyes: All the black/white spirits have this along with ethereal markings around their eyes, though they the markings can be hidden and the eyes don't glow all the time.
* [[GodInHumanForm God In Wolven From]]: Iki is actually the mortal from of Sköll, the white spirit wolf.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: The [[spoiler: black spirit Wolf Hati]] is trying to save the world, but he's willing to kill (or at least threaten to kill) [[spoiler: Sköll/Iki's innocent pack mates]] to do so. Meanwhile, the [[spoiler: white spirit wolf Sköll]] wants the world to die, but the world is going to get rotten anyway because the guardian of good died so goodness is dying with her.

* {{Hellhound}}: The [[http://off-white.eu/comic/page-192 form]] [[http://off-white.eu/comic/page-193 Hati]] takes on in the realm he takes Iki to [[http://off-white.eu/comic/page-194 evokes]] this. His more normal looking form might fit as well.

* HumansAreCthulhu: Gebo, upon seeing a human with a gun on a horse, interprets this as a two headed elk with a voice like thunder.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The self imposed kind. [[spoiler: Iki forgot his life as Sköll,]] it took a encounter with [[spoiler:his brother Hati]] for him to remember.

** The white spirit snow leopard is very...malevolently territorial at the very least.

* TheLoad: Iki is a BigEater that is bad at hunting, is clumsy, and slow.

* MoodWhiplash: It abruptly gos from a shocking and sad scene of [[spoiler: a entire pack dead]]to a humorous scene with Seven. Not that long after we have the {{Narm}} of Kaya's magnificent eyelashes immediately followed by [[spoiler: Kaya finding her entire pack dead.]] On Website/{{deviantart}}, this is make worse by the author posting a {{Self Parody}}ing TakeThatMe image right under the page.
* MultipleHeadCase: The black and white spirit dragons/wyverns/whatever they are are joined at the sides.

* NightmareFace: The last panel of [[http://off-white.eu/comic/page-263/ 263]] has Skoll putting on the scariest {{Slasher Smile}} seen in the series when a grieving Jera pleads with him to bring [[spoiler: Raigho]] back to life. Commentators below even photoshopped it onto a pic of [[CreepyPasta Smile Dog]].

** The wolves in this comic are portrayed as flawed, but ultimately good for the most part.
* OccultBlueEyes: Iki, Munin and the white spirit snow leopard.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: All spirits are shades of gray, except for a single white spirit and single black spirit to keep the balance between the other spirits. The White and Black Spirits can be [[{{Reincarnation}} Reincarnated]] and even the bugs have souls.
* PantheraAwesome[=/=]CatsAreMean : A snow leopard causes trouble for a group of sledders, looking awesome and badass while doing so.

* [[spoiler: SleptThroughTheApocalypse: {{Downplayed}}: Kaya slept through the slaughtering of her pack.]]

* [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Superpowered Morally Grey Side]]: [[spoiler: Iki's true self Sköll wants the world to "die in darkness."]]

* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Kaya, the female wolf Iki [[LoveInterest takes a liking to,]] has eyelashes. Very [[http://akreon.deviantart.com/art/off-white-pg116-177931949 ugly eyelashes.]] Even the co-author doesn't like them. Thankfully they are only visible in closeups.
** These have since been removed.

The world in which the story takes place is a mixture of interpreted Myth/NorseMythology and original ideas. The comic revolves around a pack of wolves led by their alpha to meet a mysterious sage, who will decide the destiny of the youngest member of the group, Iki.

** During one of Seven's [[IfIWereARichMan If I Were A Rich Woman]] daydreams, ''TheBlackBloodAlliance'' and ''SpiderMan'' comics can be seen.

* NorseMythology: Some of the story is based on Norse myths, for instance, the wolf spirits are Sköll and Hati, the ravens spirits are Hugin and Munin, and the human spirits are Ask and Embla (the first two people in Norse myth).

->''"In every kind exists two guardians - a White and a Black Spirit which not only keep the balance in their own species but also in the whole world by fulfilling tasks given to them at the beginning of time."''

In this world, among all living beings is a White Spirit and a Black Spirit. Their purpose is to keep the balance between the other spirits of their species. The humans of this world have lost their White Spirit and are now seeking the wolves' as a replacement, after trying various other animals, which all ended in failure. Albert and Seven are the agents sent to track the wolves and capture the White Spirit wolf.

** In the world of ''OffWhite,'' humans normally can't have blue eyes at all. This is necessary for the plot to work, because White Spirits are indicated by their blue eyes. If humans could have blue eyes in this comic, they would have no way of knowing that the human White Spirit is gone, something that drives much of the plot.

** There used to be a hidden page but it was removed. The page was accessed by clicking on a glowing spell next to the page were [[spoiler:the White Spirit Raven]] dies. The main things it revealed are that [[spoiler:Hati and Raigho are brothers, Hati was banished from his pack by their mother because of a superstition, and Raigho chose to leave with him despite the pleadings of their father.]]

* ElementalPowers: The White Snow Leopard Spirit summoned a snowstorm on a whim.
* EndangeredSpecies: There are no more baby humans being born because of the Human White Spirit's death. The comic implies this may also lead to the fading away of good, because he was the guardian of good, and the extinction of wolves, because they are a brother species.

* GlowingEyes: All the Black/White Spirits have this along with ethereal markings around their eyes, though they the markings can be hidden and the eyes don't glow all the time.
* [[GodInHumanForm God In Wolven From]]: Iki is actually the mortal from of Sköll, the White Spirit wolf.
* GoodColoursEvilColours: Subverted. The Black and White Spirits are not inherently good or evil, and are not always completely white or black (Iki, the White Spirit Wolf, is off white, and the White Spirit raven is black feathered).

* GreyAndGrayMorality: The [[spoiler: dark Spirit Wolf Hati]] is trying to save the world, but he's willing to kill (or at least threaten to kill) [[spoiler: Sköll/Iki's innocent pack mates]] to do so. Meanwhile, the [[spoiler: White Spirit wolf Sköll]] wants the world to die, but the world is going to get rotten anyway because the guardian of good died so goodness is dying with her.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Black and White Spirit humans are this in some concept art, but like all White and Black Spirits they both can change gender upon reincarnation, so this only applies some of the time.

** The White Spirit Snow Leopard is very...malevolently territorial at the very least.
** The [[spoiler: wolf Sköll,]] a White Spirit, wants the world to "die in darkness."

* MultipleHeadCase: The Black and White Spirit dragons/wyverns/whatever they are are joined at the sides.

* OccultBlueEyes: Iki, Munin and the White Spirit snow leopard spirit.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: All spirits are shades of gray, except for a single White Spirit and single Black Spirit to keep the balance between the other spirits. The White and Black Spirits can be [[{{Reincarnation}} Reincarnated]] and even the bugs have souls.

* PropheticNames [[spoiler: The White Spirit wolf Sköll]], whose name means "Treachery," betrays [[spoiler: his brother Hati.]]

* {{Reincarnation}}: The White and Black Spirits can be reincarnated, but apparently they also can die a [[CessationOfExistence final death, one in which they don't rejuvenate.]] Apparently being eaten alive by another Black or White Spirit is one way for this to happen, going by what Sköll said.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The Black Spirits from have red eyes and TronLines. The evil part [[DarkIsNotEvil is frequently averted]], however.

* SavingTheWorld: The attempt to do something about the cosmic imbalance created by the loss of the human White Spirit.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Black Spirits. While they are not inherently evil, they certainly can be sinister and menacing.

** There used to be a hidden page but it was removed. The page was accessed by clicking on a glowing spell near Hati on the webpage. The main things it revealed are that[[spoiler: Hati and Raigho are brothers, Hati was banished from his pack by their mother because of a superstition, and Raigho chose to leave with him despite the pleadings of their father.]]

* [[AfterTheEnd After The End Of Human Society As We Know It. Unlike most stories with this trope, the focus is not on the remnants of humanity (though they do play a part) but on the wolves, the "brother species" of humans.
