* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: **
Eric pretty much embodies all of the contradictions inherent in institutionalized slavery - he's a slave trader who appears to be an otherwise decent man who genuinely cares for his slaves, even while he exploits their labor and even uses them for sex. He's a hypocrite, but he can claim (with some justification) that by keeping them, he's protecting them from others far worse. In short, he's a bundle of contradictions, rather like real world people like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: The protagonist of the series, Trace Legacy has been a contentious character for the fandom, the reason being that many feel that the story is passing over the fact that he had attempted genocide and is just excusing him just because he has amnesia, which many feel is a poor justification, what doesn’t help is that his end goal involves him leaving to Lyn’knol, a secret place where humans and keidran live in harmony to escape his problems rather than confronting it. On the other side people have argued that while what he did was terrible, the current trace we’re following is not the same genocidal Trace from before, and that they believe he will try to fix the damage that he’s caused, even arguing that he isn’t just gonna ignore what he’s done and that since he’s having a child with Flora, a tiger keidran, he will be able to end the war with her help, whether or not that’s enough depends on who you’re asking.

* FandomSpecificPlot: Someone ([[AlwaysMale always a guy for some reason]]) gets [[TrappedInAnotherWorld BAMF!'d]] into Mekkan, fights some templars, and meets a keidran girl friend; bonus points if she's a runaway slave. There's very few fanfics where someone's OC joins either party, or even crossovers for that matter

* StationsOfTheCanon: Someone ([[AlwaysMale always a guy for some reason]]) gets [[TrappedInAnotherWorld BAMF!'d]] into Mekkan, fights some templars, and meets a keidran girl friend; bonus points if she's a runaway slave. Also counts as a FandomSpecificPlot, as there's very few fanfics where someone's OC joins either party, or even crossovers for that matter

** Flora and Kathrin's [[http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/435/ relationship]] [[spoiler:on the ship]] and right after was somewhat uncomfortable.
** Tom has done several sketches pairing an older Maddie and Maeve in an ambiguously romantic relationship, with the two having taken over running Adira's tavern.

* StationsOfTheCanon: Someone ([[AlwaysMale always a guy for some reason]]) gets [[TrappedInAnotherWorld BAMF!'d]] into Mekkan, fights some templars, and meets a keidran girl friend; bonus points if she's a runaway slave.

* HoYay: Keith and Nickolai; Mike and Evals. The latter pair can somewhat be overlooked, considering [[spoiler:Mike was (temporarily) cursed to look like a hot girl.]] Keith and Natani are also this, and it has been commented on by characters in the comic a few times, though [[spoiler:Natani is actually female but thinks and acts like a male due to BlackMagic]]. Mike and Evals is making a revival too as [[http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1044/ Mike blushes when Evals hugs him.]]

** Therie sah van and Daniels have been viewed very favorably by the fandom despite simply being background characters.

* StationsOfTheCanon: Someone (alwsys a guy for some reason gets [[TrappedInAnotherWorld BAMF!'d]] into Mekkan, fights some templars, and meets a keidran GF.

* TheWoobie: Poor, poor Keith. To start, at 13 years old he returned home from military school to find his mother murdered by his father, who drunkenly kills himself by falling on Keith's spear, resulting Keith being ostracised to a foreign land, unable to return unless he can complete the ImpossibleTask of capturing the Grand Templar. He was taken in by Laura, a female fox keidren, and he was about to get married and give up on going home when she cheated on him the night before their wedding day. ''Years'' later it is revealed [[spoiler:his mother was murdered by the Intelligence General in an extremely misguided attempt to "save" Keith's father, who chose SuicideByCop in despair, and Laura was drugged and forced against her will to have sex with someone else. When this is revealed, the Intelligence General kills Laura.]]

* LesYay: Flora and Kathrin's [[http://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/435/ relationship]] [[spoiler:on the ship]] and right after was somewhat uncomfortable.

* HarsherInHindsight: In comic #814, Natani absently notes how glad he is Zen is currently "absent" from his mind and thusly can't tease him about [[spoiler: planting a BigDamnKiss on Keith after what was essentially a mutual love confession]]. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that the reason for Zen's absence is because [[spoiler: his quarry just knocked him out cold and are planning on ''executing'' him because it's too dangerous to let him go]] ([[spoiler:They don't]]).

* StationsOfTheCanon: Someone gets BAMF!'d into Mekkan, fights some templars, and meets a keidran GF.

** The argument for locking up the wolves of Edinmire in [[http://twokinds.keenspot.com/archive.php?p=871 strip 871]] is rather similar to the arguments for Japanese internment camps during World War II.

When this is revealed, the Intelligence General kills Laura.]]

* FauxActionGirl: This holds true for most of the female cast, up to the last Grand Master. For the leader of an army of magic-using knights, she was profoundly tricked.
